PSL 2018 Match 9: Bowlers, Kevin Pietersen help Quetta to comfortable six-wicket win over Islamabad

[dauntless]

Rahat has been pretty impressive today! Happy to see

 

[Deewana Mastana]

What was Duminy doing out there for 26 balls???

 

[MRSN]

:

he is a very good fielder.

 

[dauntless]

Nope not easy

 

[Titan24]

Good pace and accuracy from Rahat.

 

[Barragan]

Faheem looking ordinary

 

[dauntless]

A boundary after all

 

[Rayyman]

Faheem looking ordinary

 

[Deewana Mastana]

66 inside 9 overs and they have just 105 with 2 overs to go.

 

[babajee]

Shot. Faheem is claaass

 

[Fahdi]

Finally Faheem connects. Frustration was getting the better of him.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

this is why Shadab should have been sent in, he has the potential of a proper batsmen not just a ball striker

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

rahat too quick for faheem klusener

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

66 inside 9 overs and they have just 105 with 2 overs to go.

playing sensibly

 

[mhraja]

Is it that tough to bat on this pitch?

 

[babajee]

this is why Shadab should have been sent in, he has the potential of a proper batsmen not just a ball striker

Ideally, he’d be up the order.

 

[Barragan]

With mid-off up, even Amir can do that

 

[Justcrazy]

110 . 5

18 overs

 

[mhraja]

Faheem is trying to hit every ball out of the park.

 

[dauntless]

This a bat man not an axe.Stop swinging it blindly

 

[babajee]

10 balls 35 runs

 

[MRSN]

IU seems to be the most boring team this time. Only Ronchi is positive.

 

[dauntless]

Poor batting

 

[Fahdi]

That Misbah-Duminy partnership really killed innings. Misbah at least managed a 100 SR.

Faheem swinging way too hard. He usually puts these deliveries away with ease.

 

[shah_1]

Misbah looked out of short against fast bowlers

 

[AFM]

Faheem and Hussain. The future of Pak finishers

 

[dauntless]

Shukar ae rabba.

 

[Barragan]

Finally a good shot

 

[Rayyman]

Helicopter

 

[babajee]

 

[dauntless]

Ikna rakh paai

 

[Arham_PakFan]

2 sixes in a row for Faheem

 

[MRSN]

Misbah looked out of short against fast bowlers

story of his career

 

[Rayyman]

:siz

Alan Wilkins

Future Legendary hitter

 

[Justcrazy]

Helicopter shot !!

 

[Titan24]

I watched India series. Duminy was playing well from first ball. Then he was missing short and wide from Rahat today.

Yes a guy having a poor day. Nah no one can have a poor day so lets make some accusations

 

[shah_1]

Fahim needs to improve against the short ball and he can be real handy at the end.

 

[mhraja]

IU seems to be the most boring team this time. Only Ronchi is positive.

I think apart form Misbah they are pretty much ok.

Duminy will come good in coming matches.

 

[DeadBall]

Somebody bump the Faheem vs Pandya thread.

 

[Justcrazy]

more

Watson finally getting shots in

 

[babajee]

Whaaat

 

[Barragan]

Full toss missed out and run out

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Faheem Ashraf run out

 

[Fahdi]

Akhri over ha Bhai tu bas bhag

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Misbah looked out of short against fast bowlers

is this your first match watching misbah?
he has been same his whole career
just sitting duck against pacer and waiting for spinners to come.

 

[AFM]

Klusner in da house

 

[Titan24]

Faheem sacrificed his wicket for team’s cause. One more point to him for being selfless

 

[Justcrazy]

Islamabad need a strong finish.

 

[Plumb]

I dropped Rahat for Finn, silly me

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Edged and KP saves a

 

[Plumb]

QG should get it comfortably

 

[MRSN]

I dropped Rahat for Finn, silly me

you deserve to lose points.lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good bowling by hastings

 

[Rayyman]

Shadab will go off today.

 

[MRSN]

Islamabad need a strong finish.

yeah a last ball six..

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Run out off the last ball.

 

[MRSN]

commentators have done their best to make it look like an entertaining match

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

yeah a last ball six..

more like they need a big danda on their backside.
for retaining misbah as captain

 

[Titan24]

Excellent death bowling from Hastings

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Target of 135 for Quetta.Should be an easy chase.

 

[Barragan]

Very disappointed with both faheem and talat

Not impressed at all

 

[Plumb]

Hastings 1 over 24 ends with 4 overs 36 Good come back

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Hastings first over went for 24

Next 3 went for 12

 

[Justcrazy]

135 is the target

 

[Rayyman]

Very disappointed with both faheem and talat

Not impressed at all

Faheem had a strike rate of 162 on a tough pitch. Talat is not a slogger. He can hit, but only once well set, not from first ball.

 

[MRSN]

Very disappointed with both faheem and talat

Not impressed at all

very overhyped.lol

 

[MMHS]

I watched India series. Duminy was playing well from first ball. Then he was missing short and wide from Rahat today.

Those wickets were a bit different, ball was coming on to bat and you can start timing from ball one. This one is a perfect wicket for Azhar Ali type - you can hang on for 201/2 in full 90 overs - batsmen can't hit, bowlers can't get any purchase - result it 2.2 RR in Test and 220 for ODI per score.

Instead of serving those Eremites, PCB should bring PSL to PAK and invest that amount to improve wickets of Karachi, Lahore, Multan, Faisalabad, Peshawar & Pindi wicket - after that whoever comes is fine. This is not going to work much.

 

[Plumb]

Very disappointed with both faheem and talat

Not impressed at all

Not their fault. They both are future players, don't judge them by this game

 

[babajee]

Very disappointed with both faheem and talat

Not impressed at all

Today you saw Faheem in slog mode. Not proper batsman mode

Yes terrible wicket. Commies said it was flat, but no way in hell was this good for batting. Disappointed that we haven’t seen even one 180+ score so far.

 

[Rayyman]

Today you saw Faheem in slog mode. Not proper batsman mode

21 off 13 did well on a tough pitch

Better than Misbah 22 off 23

 

[Barragan]

Faheem had a lot of balls in the hitting zone to hit, but failed

Talat also missed out on full tosses and one led to the run out of faheem, everyone can hit a full toss from ball 1 or 30th

Very disappointed at this viewing, let's see what they do next time

Is preparing a T20 style pitch that hard in the UAE or its just unprofessionalism from PCB? I really hate Haroon Rashid. I'm sure it was his task to make sure we get better pitches as he is the man in charge of domestic cricket.

 

[babajee]

21 off 13 did well on a tough pitch

Better than Misbah 22 off 23

Obviously. Faheem is a legend

 

[Barragan]

An A/R is meant to be a hitter and he won't get many opportunities to bat long

His job is to come in and score quickly

 

[srh]

these are tough wickets real wickets where bat and ball have a good competition; not roads where its all bat like the ones in recent India South Africa series.

 

[Rayyman]

Hitters should come in with a good platform not after tuk tuk partnership. Today he was asked to make all the momentum himself.

These aren’t wickets for anyone

Not about platform

It was about his hitting and it was not impressive

 

[babajee]

Is it your first time seeing him? Go watch some videos.
