Salman Butt has left his century about three matches too late.

He has got his average up from horror levels to 37.44, so if he stays in form in the remaining four matches I guess he can push a claim for selection.

The frustrating thing is this. I'm the first to say that Sami Aslam and Azhar Ali should open in Australia. But if one of them gets injured or loses form, Salman Butt is the guy with a technique that has twice been proven to work in Test series in Australia.

But even if he goes on the rampage with the bat over the next three weeks, I can't see how he'd get a Visa at such short notice with his criminal history.
 
Another really good fast bowler but it seems our selectors will never look to select a new bowler. Next in the order would probably be Hassan Ali.

There are huge issues in domestic Cricket aswell which need to be adressed.


In last 7 years Waqas has only played 28 Fc matches. While in his debut FC season he averaged 17 with the ball. He has no history of injuries aswell so him playing only 28 Fc matches in 7 years is questionable. Some players really struggle with lack of merit even at Fc level.


Some very promising players in last 2 years have missed whole lot of Fc & List A Cricket because their departments got relegated and their regions did not pick them despite the fact that inferior players were picked. Moreover PCB did adjust many " beloved " players in different regions team yet they failed to do the same with others who deserved a place more than them.


An Example is of a Fast Medium Bowler who had the best Ave & SR amongst all QEA Gold & Silver league fast bowlers in 2014 but his department got relegated. He had previously played Fc & List A cricket for Sialkot aswell as Karachi yet Karachi did not pick him and neither was he drafted in any other regional team by PCB. As a Result that played missed 2 years of Fc & List A Cricket despite being a top performer.
 
Nice to see Hassan Ali picking up 5 , Kamran Ghulam also picking up 3. Was very disappointed not to see him picked in the PSL this year. Jaahid Ali and Saud Shakeel also seem to be developing a good partnership

saw saad ali, looked very assured on the crease and has Alastair Cook look alike technique infact you cant differentiate b/w two when both hit cover drive
 
Thanks [MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] and [MENTION=142301]desirous of desire[/MENTION]....good to see both of them are doing well.

Anyways our domestic pitches should assist spinners as well...no standout performer in the last and this season too.
 
Very aggressive innings from Faizan Riaz and also carried bat from Islamabad. I think he scored hundred in the last televised match as well.
Anyone has the details about this guy ?

Sadaf has apparently been dropped for this game. A debutant is playing in his place but it's likely that he got injured.

Haven't heard about any injury.


Krl has already qualified for next round. This is last league match before super eight where many teams are giving chance to bench players.
 
Will somebody PLEASE get Hasan Ali on a plane to the Pink ball Test?

Wintery conditions in Pakistan, aid swing bowling. The summer months aid spin bowling when the pitches become dry and crack up.

Nice!

I heard about this lad a couple of years ago, but seemed to have fallen through the cracks. Now looks like he is coming in the limelight again.

Yes.

But it becomes a bit difficult this way to judge the pacers if every second one is getting a 5-fer and a 10-fer.

The conditions are far too favourable for the pacers in most of the match-ups, it seems.

Except for the odd game where you have 500+ totals.

Nice to see him and Sameen Gul perform.

Majority Pitches are too pacers friendly so the real gauge will be seeing them Live. This would tell where they stand.


If FATA & UBL qualify for Semifinal of QEA than we would see both of them Live.



Last time i saw Irfanullah He was too skinny. Hope he has put on some muscle. He now has Sadaf Hussain like start to his Fc Career 49 scalps in 9 matches at an Ave of 17 and SR of 33 :)
 
We need to change our Domestic cricket calendar

QAE to start mid September and Run upto Last week of October

November-December should be for List A Tournament.

Give them few weeks off

PSL in Febuary

QAE to return from March till 1st week of April.

Wickets are very slow seemers, with very little bounce, but lots of deep rooted live grass - you can check that from % of LBW/Bowled. Besides, gradually, days play has come to 65-75 overs/day level - that's 300 overs in 4 days or basically 3 Day Test; wickets don't get enough time to dry or crack for spinners. Also, when you have just about 70 overs to bowl in a day, you can easily call you 3 pacers for 50 overs work load.

Imagine green tops in UAE Test wickets with an 8 am start (to match winter condition of PAK) & 70 overs/day - same thing will happen there as well. OCT-JAN is the worst period to play FC cricket in PAK.

Not even late October - ideally, season should start in sometimes in August with practice matches; 6 weeks of tournament from early SEP to mid October - 4 months break; then 11-12 weeks in March to late May. In total, around 18-19 weeks, that's around 23-24 slots of 4 Day matches + 2 days break & a 3 weeks gap in between tournament. That gap is extremely important, because now what's happening is players hardly get any time to work on their game in nets - tournament is played continuously for full duration (with festival breaks), with a 4+2 2 day schedule; which means players gets only 1 day between match & travelling, sometimes even less. It's just a mercenary system now that, players are playing 4/5 tournaments in different level for different teams continuously, without any development of own game.

Ideally, there should be 10 teams covering best 200 players, 18 home & away matches of 6 days slot + 5-7 free slots for make up (in case of any match is postponed) and intense practice sessions. If I take 25 slots of 6 Days for the entire tournament with a Final, it should be (3 rounds - 1 slot gap) X 6 = 24 slots of 6 days + 5 day Final on the last week of May between top 2 sides, at the "home" of top side.

Don't know about yesterday. He was there when Ghulam was bowling his opening spell in the second innings for sure, though. No wickets.

In Pakistan we cannot have set and definite days for start or end of tournaments.

I am talking about starting the season in 3rd week of August with side/preparatory matches - main tournament starts around mid SEP - still enough time for 42 days (6 rounds with a middle break) before day light becomes a factor. I am not sure how much it rains all over PAK, say from 12th of SEP; but that's much better than 5 hours of playing light, with regular delayed starts for fog/smog & players wasting time whenever in trouble. Also, in SEP, there must be dry areas as well - a tactful scheduling can help in this regard, arrange matches in those stadiums historically dry in that period.

Look, I wrote that with considering every aspects. Think about EPL this season - Liverpool's home ground refurbishment took a bit longer - FA scheduled first 4 matches away for LFC, first home match was against Leicester in mid SEP.

Mid Sep is just about right!!
One more thing is to give central contract to FC cricketers so that they give preference to QAE trophy
