[u0sama]

Well that was 10 years ago when we had trundlers like Azizullah, Majid Ali ,Samiullah , Irfan Ullah , Asad Ali dominating the domestic circuit, you can clearly see the current lot much much quicker than them they are more in between 130-138k instead of early to mid 120ks like previous generation.

If i see video of Mir Hamza with those, its look pacy but on actual dead wicket, Mir Hamza is 120 to 125k

Saw some clips of Mohsin Riaz 204 against a decent first class attack of Wasim jr , Sameen Gul , sirajuddin and Asif Afridi he batted very well

Looks a late starter he’s 24 and seems to be his first full season as he just played 3 fc games before this season even in this round scored a 42 I will be keeping an eye on him

Hasan (169) and Nusratullah (5-33) star in Islamabad's victory​

A maiden first-class century by Hasan Nawaz and a second five-wicket haul in an as many matches by fast bowler Nusratullah handed Islamabad an innings and 107 runs victory over Larkana on the second day of the second round of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match at the Diamond Cricket Ground.

Hasan Nawaz, starting at the overnight score of 75 in Islamabad’s 186 for four while replying to Larkana’s 140, was dismissed for 169 that lifted his side to 343. With 203 runs first innings lead in the bag, Nusratullah returned figures of 8-1-33-5 and Shayan Sheikh bagged three wickets for one run to dismiss Larkana for 96 in 20.5 overs.

This was Islamabad’s second successive victory, courtesy a 251-ball knock by Hasan, whose innings was laced with 21 fours and a six. This was Hasan’s eight first-class match, while Nusratullah also had an impressive match after claiming a five-fer on his debut last week.

The other eight matches were also heading for exciting finishes.

In Sheikhupura, Mohammad Sarwar Afridi scored an unbeaten 138 and Mohammad Usman scored 100 to help FATA post 448 all-out against Dera Murad Jamali, who were bowled out for 170 on Friday, while Rawalpindi were on top of AJK in Rawalpindi with the latter still trailing by 201 runs and five wickets remaining. In reply to AJK’s 82, Rawalpindi posted 375 that revolved around Umar Amin’s 96 and Shadab Khan’s 84. In AJK’s second innings, Shadab Khan and Mohammad Faizan equally shared four wickets between them to leave the visitors tottering at 92 for five.

Elsewhere, fast bowler Niaz Khan returned figures of 23.5-3-97-6 helped Peshawar secure a slender 22-run first innings lead. While replying to Peshawar’s 301, Bahawalpur were bowled out for 279. Peshawar, in their second innings were 57 for two to lead by 79 runs. At Islamabad’s Marghzar Cricket Ground, Hyderabad’s Mohammad Suleman scored 90 to help his side take a 73-run first innings lead against Lahore Whites, who were 162 for five when stumps were drawn on Saturday.

At the National Ground in Islamabad, Abbottabad were in control against Faisalabad when they scored 405 in their first innings and then limited their opponents to 189 for nine, while Multan were also on top of Karachi Whites in Charsadda after claiming 90 runs first innings lead – thanks to five for 47 by Mohammad Ismail and four for 36 by Waseem Akram Jnr. When play ended, Multan were 62 for two to lead by 152 runs with eight wickets standing.

Sialkot’s Abdul Rehman scored 113 and Azam Awais contributed 78 to guide their team to 306 for four in reply to Quetta’s 263. In Lahore, Imran Butt of Lahore Blues scored 111 but Karachi’s Tabish Khan took four for 66 to restrict the home side’s first innings lead to only four runs. At the draw of stumps, the visitors were 30 for one to lead Lahore by 26 runs.

[TeymurBlake]

Good to see Mohammad Taha play. I believe I saw him in the champions cup & he looks quite decent. Can bowl handy left arm spin.

Hopefully him & many other youngsters show some performances & consistency. God knows Pakistan could so some beefing up the depth & starting XI with some quality.

 

[ElRaja]

good to see shadab back in fc, hasnt got many overs yet, but hopefully he can rediscover some of his lost mojo by bowling some long spells, also if pak want to go with a spin heavy approach in home tests, shadab would be a far superior option to zahid mehmood (better in all three disciplines), and would mean pak would effecitvely have some batting depth down to 11.

salman
shadab
jamal / nasim / shaheen / jahandad, etc
nauman
sajid khan

would be one of the strongest, if not the strongest lower orders in test cricket in asian conditions.

Even if this is low quality FC cricket I would still make my selections over this then those fraud PSL picks . What we have seen past 10 years is the ones who grind in our low quality FC circuit are still able to make the step up and be solid international cricketers atleast in conditions they are familiar with while these PSL frauds just stink up the joint whenever they are givin opportunity

Hyderabad stun Lahore Whites on third day of Quaid Trophy​

A 10-wicket match by former Test fast bowler Bilawal Bhatti proved to be the cornerstone of Hyderabad’s six wickets victory over Lahore Whites on the third day of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in Islamabad on Sunday. Elsewhere, Rawalpindi defeated Azad Jammu and Kashmir by an innings and 144 runs in Rawalpindi, FATA beat Dera Murad Jamali by an innings and 129 runs in Sheikhupura and Karachi Whites overcame Multan by three wickets in Charsadda.

Bilawal followed up his four for 61 in the first innings with figures of 16-4-42-6 as Lahore Whites, starting at day three at 162 for five, were bowled out for 203. Needing 131 runs for their second successive win, Hyderabad achieved victory for the loss of four wickets with Muhammad Sadam top-scoring with 48.

In Sheikhupura, FATA’s Sameen Gul picked up five for 59 for match figures of seven for 133 as Dera Murad Jamali, trailing by 278 runs on the first innings, were bundled out for 149 to give FATA their first win by an innings and 129 runs.
