Quetta Gladiators beat Peshawar Zalmi by six wickets in third match of PSL 4

[IAJ]

Rubbish umpire

 

[Greenstorm]

Umar Akmal is good enough for our T20 side. He's better at playing pace compared to Malik and Sarfaraz. He is also better than Asif Buttler. I have no issues with him being selected in T20s.

No doubt he should be in our T20 side. Next T20 WC is in Australia and he will be needed there.

 

[Hasan123]

Sarfaraz isn't very convincing against pace.

 

[Hasan123]

No doubt he should be in our T20 side. Next T20 WC is in Australia and he will be needed there.

Agreed. Pitches should suit his batting.

 

[QalandarFan]

For ODIs I understand the reservations but for T20s he's more than good enough.

Nah, I don’t want a player in our team who will win you a match 1/10 matches. Just get Afridi back in the team, if we want that. Yes, if he does do well the whole tournament by all means bring him back in the T20 Squad.

 

[Hasan123]

Sensible partnership.

 

[rhony]

UA was lucky not to get run out there

 

[Hasan123]

Nah, I don’t want a player in our team who will win you a match 1/10 matches. Just get Afridi back in the team, if we want that. Yes, if he does do well the whole tournament by all means bring him back in the T20 Squad.

In T20s he has won important games for Pakistan.

I am sick of seeing Malik and Sarfaraz struggle against pace. Umar mainly struggles against spin. We have plenty of spin bashers.

 

[Hawkeye]

Umar will rule at the World Cup on such nice batting tracks.

UAE is rubbbbish for batting.

Such a bad pitch this. Still doing good.

 

[Barragan]

Very good shout

Never a single

 

[Greenstorm]

Nah, I don’t want a player in our team who will win you a match 1/10 matches. Just get Afridi back in the team, if we want that. Yes, if he does do well the whole tournament by all means bring him back in the T20 Squad.

Malik/Sarfi/Talat/Rizwan will win 0 matches out of 10.

 

[Hasan123]

Umar should be handling this trundler with ease.

 

[yasir]

Nah, I don’t want a player in our team who will win you a match 1/10 matches. Just get Afridi back in the team, if we want that. Yes, if he does do well the whole tournament by all means bring him back in the T20 Squad.

Who is going to slog is last 10 overs? - You have Asif or UA. Don't tell me we don't need anybody, that's not the answer...

 

[Hasan123]

Not sure if that was a single.

 

[MRSN]

some rubbish run calls by Sarfraz

 

[Greenstorm]

Btw Umar's fitness still seems an issue. He is so slow between the wickets.

 

[Hasan123]

The running between the 2 hasn't been great to be honest.

 

[Barragan]

That was stupid from Sarfraz

No need for risky singles

 

[Barragan]

Again Sarfraz with dumb call

He needs to calm down

 

[Hasan123]

May have been out with a direct hit. Why are these 2 panicking? QG are well ahead.

 

[IAJ]

Sarfraz trying his best to get run out here

 

[Pete Rose]

Something something grave injustice Akmal basis once in six months decent innings

 

[Hasan123]

Better running.

 

[Barragan]

That's better

 

[Hasan123]

1 big over will be enough here.

 

[Greenstorm]

Man these two have gone crazy

 

[Hasan123]

Just in.

 

[Snowflake]

Wow! What the hell is Sarfraz doing? Hell-bent on either getting himself or Umar runout

 

[Mueez]

This is why Sarfraz is handy at number 4, he is a master in taking singles and doubles.

 

[Barragan]

Sarfraz is the captain and he should bring some calmness to the crease, but he is running like a mad man

 

[Titan24]

Umar Akmal playing like a proper batsman after long time

 

[imshally81]

 

[Greenstorm]

Did not expect Sarfi to play that shot.

 

[Barragan]

I didn't know Sarfraz could do that to a fast bowler

Wow

 

[yasir]

Probably first Six in Sarfraz's life over mid-off/cover against pace. We have to wait for 2022 for next one

 

[Bouncer]

The running between the 2 hasn't been great to be honest.

The running between the 2 hasn't been great to be honest.

Here is your answer, there is a huge group of of people (like [MENTION=145503]Mueez[/MENTION]) who absolutely dont understand that Sarfraz is causing Panic and creating chances for opponent, they see it as his great quality.

This is why Sarfraz is handy at number 4, he is a master in taking singles and doubles.

 

[a_tahir]

Ahmad Shahzad is finished but the GOAT Is still fit and running

 

[Rana]

Stay humble now Umar, still a long way to go

 

[Barragan]

50 for Akmal

Really good innings

 

[Bewal Express]

UA looking good. Lose Another 1/2 stone and we may still have a player

 

[a_tahir]

The GOAT

 

[Greenstorm]

Akmal vs Hassan

 

[Hawkeye]

Probably first Six in Sarfraz's life over mid-off/cover against pace. We have to wait for 2022 for next one

True.

 

[Greenstorm]

UA looking good. Lose Another 1/2 stone and we may still have a player

Yes. No 6 spot in ODIs is there for the taking.

 

[Titan24]

Akmal's feet are moving and he is saying the ball well, good signs

 

[Syed1]

Awkward moment for some when "specialist captain" is playing an excellent innings

 

[Plumb]

Yes. No 6 spot in ODIs is there for the taking.

1 game 1 innings and bring him in team... wait for the tournament to be over...even if he is the player of tournament I won't take him in team

 

[Syed1]

Akmal making a case for selection

 

[Titan24]

Awkward moment for some when "specialist captain" is playing an excellent innings

Yes solid stuff. Lets hope all our players are in good form before the world cup.

 

[imshally81]

 

[Syed1]

Untimely but well played.... UA should see the match home now

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Said it last year that Umar Akmal type players will thrive under Sarfraz. They need consistent guidance and someone who believe in them. Still back my words.

 

[Barragan]

What a catch

Sarfraz gone

 

[Snowflake]

When will Sarfraz ever finish a game for his team?! Geez!

 

[Greenstorm]

1 game 1 innings and bring him in team... wait for the tournament to be over...even if he is the player of tournament I won't take him in team

I did not said anything about bringing him into the ODI team although he deserves to be in the T20 side.
He should be considered for ODIs if he has a good tournament. Can do far better than, Asif, Malik and Hafeez.

 

[a_tahir]

146 for wahab. That's pace

 

[Titan24]

1 game 1 innings and bring him in team... wait for the tournament to be over...even if he is the player of tournament I won't take him in team

When you are making a national squad rigidness doesnt work. You need to take whoever fulfills the requirements of the team.

I am not saying he should be selected just after this match but if he shows improvement throughout the tournament then why not.

 

[a_tahir]

1 game 1 innings and bring him in team... wait for the tournament to be over...even if he is the player of tournament I won't take him in team

Who r u kidding?
We all know U.A should be in the odi team.
He can't be worse than asif or Malik

 

[a_tahir]

146 for wahab. That's pace

Only if he had a brain

 

[Barragan]

Akmal isn't a finisher and never will be

He should continue to bat at no. 3 or 4 and guys like Bravo, Smith and Narine should be the finishers

Quetta have a top team this time and seem to have all the basis covered

 

[badsha001]

Said it last year that Umar Akmal type players will thrive under Sarfraz. They need consistent guidance and someone who believe in them. Still back my words.

and little danda too. looks like it worked when sarfraz was with him on the crease.

 

[rhony]

Just stand and deliver dude

 

[Greenstorm]

Pressure building on Umar.

 

[Plumb]

Said it last year that Umar Akmal type players will thrive under Sarfraz. They need consistent guidance and someone who believe in them. Still back my words.

UA played under Afridi,Hafeez,Misbah and he couldn't do anything... but I do agree that he may play well... still I will be reluctant to give him another chance...T20 may be ODI NO.

 

[Boi]

Can only get remotely excited with this innings if Umar finishes it. Still have my doubts

 

[Titan24]

I dont remember how long ago a Pakistani batsmen batted well and finished the job... hoping Umar here can break the curse.

 

[imshally81]

 

[rhony]

Look at that batting again...Absolute mental midget. Has all the strokes but that brain doesnt want to think

 

[Greenstorm]

Umar Akmal playing ground strokes. Kya hogea hai issey

 

[Rana]

Good knock by Umar. Needs to finish it off now

 

[rhony]

Good. Stand and deliver. No need to move around

 

[Chokli]

if he can bat with a brain then i don't see why he can't come in place for malik

 

[rhony]

Good shot again...

 

[Greenstorm]

I dont remember how long ago a Pakistani batsmen batted well and finished the job... hoping Umar here can break the curse.

It happened yesterday. The golden combo of Asif and Faheem.

 

[Markhor]

Didn't Umaid Asif tear through New Zealand A a few months ago ?

Looks ordinary.

 

[Barragan]

Another 4 good comeback by Akmal

 

[Hawkeye]

Akmal isn't a finisher and never will be

He should continue to bat at no. 3 or 4 and guys like Bravo, Smith and Narine should be the finishers

Quetta have a top team this time and seem to have all the basis covered

Tbh, dude every comment that you've made in this thread has backfired. Terrible reading of the game and obviously very poor analysis.

 

[Plumb]

if he can bat with a brain then i don't see why he can't come in place for malik

lol he would have been in top 10 batsmen by now if he had done that..

 

[Greenstorm]

Didn't Umaid Asif tear through New Zealand A a few months ago ?

He is ordinary and 30+.

 

[Titan24]

Sensible shots from Umar under pressure
