IU can’t afford to lose anymore, their NRR is taking a hit and they could end up joint 10 points with Karachi and Peshawar at this rate!

 

[Shehmir]

Losing 3 matches on trot leaves them vulnerable now. However I believe they should win tomorrow

 

[SportsWarrior]

was there no math today? why these random gaps?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Islu needs to wake up...they cannot take things for granted...

What will happen to overseas players and PSL remaining matches after indian military strikes on pakistan land?

They should be allowed to leave if they want, and get full payment for services.

We can continue this tournament as a National T20 cup if we must.

Is Mo Amir injured? I saw he missed a few games, can’t wait to watch him in the blast, may try and get a ticket for the match between the Essex & The Bears

He’s being preserved to Baja the Ghenta in a knockout if need be so.

He still got the IT factor and worth watching him bowl even at this stage in his career. I use to feel the same way for Shaheen for a very brief period, and was getting nostalgic about it, thought lets see what’s he going to do, I tune in and some random jobber smashes him for like 2-3 chukkaz in the over ; the guy is done.

Shaheen is reckless

Great bowler with no composure

Shaheen is reckless

Great bowler with no composure

He hears voices in his head while bowling.

‘I hear voices in my head
They counsel me
They understand
Babar ended the captaincy
Babar ended the captaincy

I hear voices in my head
They counsel me, they understand
They talk to me, they talk to me (Oh!)
They tell me things that I will do
They show me things I'll do to you
Gotta bowl a full toss
Gotta bowl a full toss.’

Nafay should play instead of haseebullah if mendis is still ill.

Proper cricketing shots

Are the captain and coaches dumb?

 

[aqibcric]

Proper cricketing shots

[aqibcric]

Why bowling him the 18th over?

Are the captain and coaches dumb?

yes they are dumb every time bring young man in crucial times

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why not Mayers?

 

[Rana]

Pakistan’s T20 record holder!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

yes they are dumb every time bring young man in crucial times

Shahzad doesn't strike like a bright guy

Can't bat and can't bowl neither can field from what I've seen

 

[aqibcric]

Why not Mayers?

i am also thinking why they did not give ball to mayers is he injured or anything else

 

[aqibcric]

Shahzad doesn't strike like a bright guy

Can't bat and can't bowl neither can field from what I've seen

he is briliant batsman but not a good bowler but he bats well in domestic

 

[cricfan432]

Proper cricketing shots

Boy can play

Two shots he connected last match were also proper, but you cant connect every ball even russel gets out

 

[Shehmir]

Things are getting worst for IU now

 

[cricfan432]

Hasan nawaz pulls bouncer for six

 

[Deewana Mastana]

he is briliant batsman but not a good bowler but he bats well in domestic

Well he doesn't strike like someone who can or has much faith in any if not all his abilities.

 

[cricfan432]

Proper no.4/5 you ask me

 

[Rana]

Naseem princess getting smashed to bits here

[cricfan432]

Century on cards

 

[Rana]

Proper no.4/5 you ask me

He wants to open

But he’s a better opener and middle order T20 batter than RizBar and Saud

 

[cricfan432]

Where are the people who were calling him tulla, i already said his only weakness is seam/swing which dies after 5 overs
