Punjab v KPK | Pakistan Cup 2016 | Faisalabad | Apr 22, 2016 | KPK Innings

[Shayan]

Just over an hour till the start, it's Malik vs Younis.

 

[MenInG]

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa won the toss and elected to bat

 

[fazleefridi]

Top 3 scores are 108*,100*,100 and all three are by the openers....CAN THIS CUP SOLVE PAKISTAN'S OPENING PROBLEMS..

Also waiting for Fakhar to score a century and make even his case stronger to the selectors..


And what if SelfieSh Shahzad scores a TON

 

[fazleefridi]

What is playing 11 brother?

 

[TalentSpotterPk]

15 years old Hayatullah making his List A debut.

Sameen Gul dropped.

 

[Pete Rose]

Ahmed Shehzads problems on display. Guy scores 2 4's and a 6 in the first 5 overs and is still batting under a strike rate of 100

 

[Hasan123]

Shezahd scoring runs it seems. He should be kept at domestic level for a while yet so he can improve his game nd get his confidence back in scoring runs.

 

[Zeshan547]

Shezyy don't deserve to be in national team atleast for an year, and even after that if he don't sort out all his major problems like flawed technique, phattu and selfish mindset, and attitude problems then dump him forever.

 

[Rami_kakaa]

Shehzad scored a 50 out karo iss ko jaldi yaar

 

[JaDed]

Lol YK dropped Asghar? WTH!

I hope he does. i hope players hit big hundreds so we have more players to look at.

 

[JaDed]

Shezzi has good chance of scoring 100.

 

[Ahson8]

Totally forgot about this. How has Fakhar looked ?

 

[Hamza_]

Yeh Fakhar main aakhir hai kia itna special? Seriously?

 

[JaDed]

Itne pyaar se commentary horahi hai lol.

 

[mango_bite7]

Bowler who gets Selfie's wicket should be given national award :

[JaDed]

Terrible fielding!

 

[JaDed]

Shezzi bowled lol his issue with spinners remain.

 

[Third Man]

I get a feeling the England tour is going to an embarrassing one for Younis Khan and probably for Misbah. He just can't play pace.

 

[Abdullah719]

Team Man!!! )

Defying gravity by having both his bat and foot in the air... above the crease.

 

[Lords]

All the matches happening on the same ground?

 

[Markhor]

Fakhar impressing again. Good start from KPK but with such a weak lower order, he and Rameez need to bat the majority of the overs.

 

[Markhor]

All the matches happening on the same ground?

Yes. All matches at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad.

 

[Abdullah719]

KPK's batting looks incredibly weak.

And is 'Hayatullah' seriously 15 years old?

 

[pakistancricketlover2016]

fakhar zaman : Gud organised batsmen.

 

[Lords]

Yes. All matches at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad.

Pitch is changing charater now then, earlier all the matches were low score and now it looks like high scoring pitch.
May be we will see a lot of 300 later on

 

[Abdullah719]

What is Rameez Aziz doing? Came in at ~95/2 in 16 overs. So far he's made 7 off 22. This is the kind of stuff that can really kill a LOI innings.

 

[Muddaser]

Amad Butt looks very impressive.

If his batting is just as good then we have a handy allrounder for limited over games.

 

[pakistancricketlover2016]

Fakhar zaman knows he has to stay at the crease. That is in his back of the mind and then playing so organised in no pressure is a big thing.

 

[Mir jibran]

KPK's batting looks incredibly weak.

And is 'Hayatullah' seriously 15 years old?

haroon rasheed on pre match show said hayyat is from fata and they dont make birth certificates on right time and said he ll be around 18 19

 

[Markhor]

Has to stay out there - look at KPK's lower order. Yasir Shah is in at 7

 

[pakistancricketlover2016]

shot

 

[pakistancricketlover2016]

batting yaar fakhar impressive unlike sami aslam. Fakhar is 2 steps ahead of him

 

[Abdullah719]

haroon rasheed on pre match show said hayyat is from fata and they dont make birth certificates on right time and said he ll be around 18 19

I didn't see him yet but this must be true... more likely than him being 15.

Has to stay out there - look at KPK's lower order. Yasir Shah is in at 7

Fair point... but look at his List-A SR. It's 70. So this is his 'style' anyway I guess.

 

[Rami_kakaa]

Fakhar bowled ho gaya yaar yeh kia hogaya yaar

 

[Abdullah719]

Why Fakhar, why? Bowled going for a hoick into the leg side. Good innings but needed to carry on with this batting lineup. Could've easily gotten a hundred.

 

[Lords]

So far opening has not been a problem in this cup.

i think this may end your openers problem if someone scores consistently.

 

[yasir]

Fakhar when try to accelerate threw his wicket, because he does not have big shots, this can happen more in international cricket, we have seen that with Shezad too often... Some time we attribute to attitude or temperament but it has to do more with ability... We have seen that our seniors like Misbah, Malik, Sarfraz do that all the time

This is part of the reason our par score is more like 240/260 rather than 330...Most of the batsmen have same limitation... Its only guys like UA or Babar who have more range of shots, but those guys struggle against spin, some thing they need to work with coaches... There is more chance of them learning how to play spin than rest of 200M Pakistanis how to play pace with authority

 

[Mir jibran]

rameez aziz such a waste

 

[Abdullah719]

35 off 60, and he gets stumped...

 

[Syed1]

So the new darling of PP Fakhar Zaman scored a fifty.. I hope Inzi was watching..

 

[IslamabadUnited]

Supporting kpk today!

 

[Syed1]

Not a lot of interest in this match from PP'ers

 

[Abdullah719]

Not a lot of interest in this match from PP'ers

Can hardly blame them... 104 runs in 26 overs since the 'aggressive' Shehzad got out.

And now DJ Bravo's 'Champion' blaring in Faisalabad... why?

 

[Mir jibran]

Not a lot of interest in this match from PP'ers

may be because of khurram and scoring quick hundreds

 

[Abdullah719]

Azhar Khan in the commentary box. Time to take a nap.

 

[Last Monetarist]

Is it just me or has Ehsan Adil lost a bit of pace? Seems to be bowling 77-78 mph.

The standard of batting has been pretty woeful sadly.

 

[chiku]

I would like to see Bismillah Khan play as a finisher @ 7 for a couple of domestic seasons and PSL.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Players lack fitness, bowlers will lose pace as the matches go on. By the end they will be trundler level and we will see 300+ scores. Pathetic cricketers we have in our pool, no work ethic or dedication or ambition. Just want to play intl games to earn a wage.

 

[srh]

Why YK is not playing Bismillah Khan as an opener?

 

[#GreenRoars]

Asghar has been dropped

 

[#GreenRoars]

263 target, good one from KPK.

 

[asyed]

Asghar has been dropped

I reckon because Saint YK believe that Yasir is better spinner

 

[asyed]

263 target, good one from KPK.

I guess they should've crossed 280. But still not too bad.

 

[asyed]

Last 5 overs went for 42/1 with RR 8.40.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Haha Asghar dropped and Yasir isnt. Asghar is much better than Yasir in LOIs
