Quetta Gladiators defeat Lahore Qalandars by 3 wickets in 12th match of PSL 4

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Smart captaincy by Fakhar. Always like what i see when he is captaining.

Now comes the big test for Umar as this pitch is not easy.

[Titan24]

With all the talent our pacers lack consistency even our best ones and that is the reason that sometimes teams like Srl and even India (except Bumrah and Shami) outperform our pace attack with their nothing exceptional but disciplined bowlers. Our pacers sometimes over try make things complicated.

Fakhar passing directions to Yasir in Pashto

Haha but i think its Gauhar not Fakhar.

 

[Sadozai]

Legend on the Crease, lets see how he performs in a pressure situation

I think its gohar not fakhar

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Fakhar passing directions to Yasir in Pashto

I think that's Gauhar Ali the keeper.

 

[Sadozai]

Haha but i think its Gauhar not Fakhar.

yup.. he has very similar voice to fakhar

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Another bold move by Fakhar: Lamichanne in the powerplays.

 

[Sadozai]

Shaba sandeep, topak zama kanoon da

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Dont expect Umar to bail Quetta out every time, he is bound to fail in 1 or 2 games. Today will be the first one.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Can Anderson bowl now or he's still just playing as a batsman?

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

I think Lahore has the strongest overseas players.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Wow this Nepali kid looks good.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Is Lamichanne this good or some serious spin on this wicket?

 

[IAJ]

Wow what a good legspinner

 

[Sadozai]

Is Lamichanne this good or some serious spin on this wicket?

He is very good spinner but wicket is supportive as well

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Ohh that's a good shot by Ahsan Ali. This guy looks good whenever he hits one.

 

[asadee]

Ahsan can hit them too

 

[Sadozai]

I think Lahore has the strongest overseas players.

Thats the case in every season

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Time for a Rauf ? Lets see when Fakhar brings him in

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Thats the case in every season

Haha

I think its between Karachi and Lahore.

They have all the players but performance poor.

 

[Sirris]

Umar Akmal has to prove himself today.

 

[Sadozai]

Haha

I think its between Karachi and Lahore.

They have all the players but performance poor.

Karachi's obsession with duds leads them to failure.. Their batting tail starts from the ball 1

 

[Sadozai]

Umar Akmal has to prove himself today.

Gone

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf lol. His celebrations

 

[Titan24]

Haris is 23 officially, I dont know why thery always display it as 25

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Looks like it's missing the leg stump

 

[Titan24]

Rauf has an X factor Pak team needs

 

[Goharn]

Looks like it's missing the leg stump

But that was a seriously good Yorker though....that too at 148

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haris is 23 officially, I dont know why thery always display it as 25

He is 25. He was 23 back when he went to the trials.

 

[IAJ]

Poor umpires, can not handle the appealing.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

That's run out

 

[IAJ]

Lol but run out?

 

[Titan24]

He is 25. He was 23 back when he went to the trials.

His year of birth is 1995 on PP and wiki. Also emerging player can only be under - 23. Not that 2 years make much difference but it’s intriguing.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sarfraz can't be given run out

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Doubt that it's 95 tbh

 

[Boi]

Umps are clueless

 

[IAJ]

Strange rule this

 

[Sadozai]

He is 25. He was 23 back when he went to the trials.

Then why he is playing in emerging category

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Damn this Ahsan Ali is even looking better than Umar Siddiq.

 

[Titan24]

Doubt that it's 95 tbh

Yes i dont know personally but its whats mentioned on wiki and PP talent post.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Rauf has an X factor Pak team needs

He brings some sort of aggression to the team. Very similar to Akhtar.

No wonder Akhtar is already a big fan.

 

[Titan24]

Damn this Ahsan Ali is even looking better than Umar Siddiq.

As 3rd opener instead of Shan? Then where we will place Umar?

To be honest he needs to make an impactful score and knock to create waves in the ocean. Talent is there.

Doubt any of these will make it to the WC. Mickey has his team fixed.

Only one that might make it is U. Akmal.

IF and IF Rauf remains fit and consistent he might get a chance against Aus.

Yes. That was just for fun.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Exciting match this.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

The Qalanders should have had like 3 run outs by now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Don't see Umar Akmal getting back into the team while Mickey is there.

Not sure why people assume that Mickey will take him back.

Same goes for Rauf as I don't see him getting picked either as he is yet to play 50 over cricket.

 

[yasir]

For his Yorkers alone, I want to see him play few ODIs before WC, nobody has that quality of Yorkers, that too at 147/148 clicks.... He has aggression that is also missing. He will be very valuable in last 15 overs.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar giving away too many singles. Same being pointed out by the commies too.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nepal strikes!

 

[Mueez]

One hell of a googly.

Yes but if he can pick Shaheen without playing domestic cricket much, he can pick Rauf as well if he fits the plans.

 

[MMHS]

Judging batsmen from T20 is risky, but still it can give some idea of batsmen; but it's really doesn't matter much what a bowler is doing in T20, where batsmen are forced to go after, therefore even the worst ball can get a wicket. I don't think PAK's (or any teams) Test/ODI attack should be picked from T20s if other options are available. Also, T20 bowlers should be picked on T20 basis - I do think Wahab & Tanveer are still better T20 bowlers than some of them playing for PAK in recent times.

 

[Titan24]

Yasir mentoring Lamachane in T20s.

Shaheen shouldnt have been picked then? I guess its more about finding talent and nurturing it.

 

[Titan24]

Lol! Poor running

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lol there was always going to be a run out with Sarfraz there

 

[Goharn]

Is Sarfraz stupid? He thinks there is a run on every ball. It was smith's fault this though.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Great atmosphere right now.

 

[MMHS]

LQ's true potential are coming slowly. They had the best squad at the start and themselves messed up things; now with Hafeez gone, I think they are in much better shape. Needs to kick out Butt and play Haris at 3, and this'll be almost unbeatable squad in PSL, if AB plays the whole tournament.

 

[Titan24]

When is Dwayne Bravo gonna come in for QG?

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Except for giving away a few easy singles Fakhar has been exceptional.

Good signs for Qalanders

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Why is Naraine not playing for Quetta?

 

[Titan24]

Why is Naraine not playing for Quetta?

Injured is finger

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Why is Naraine not playing for Quetta?

Injured. Fawad came in as cover.

 

[shah_1]

Srafraz doesn't have much sense when it comes to running

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Injured is finger

Injured. Fawad came in as cover.

Out of tournament?

 

[MMHS]

Shaheen shouldnt have been picked then? I guess its more about finding talent and nurturing it.

Shaheen actually isn't breaking bricks for LQ to be honest - he is probably 3rd in packing order after Rahat & Rauf which should give an idea. Ironically, you are writing this on the day Shaheen actually has been dropped from LQ squad and they are winning it - in that regard either LQ is better than PAK team, because Shaheen will walk into PAK XI anytime

Also, finding talent can be understood considering that other avenues are not taken in much consideration, but nurturing young players through T20 ..... really?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Yes but if he can pick Shaheen without playing domestic cricket much, he can pick Rauf as well if he fits the plans.

How many games do Pakistan have before the WC? He needs to be played in all of them to see how he goes in 50 overs cricket.

 

[IAJ]

Rubbish running!

 

[Titan24]

Out of tournament?

Subject to his rehabilitation and result of scans

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Lol comedy stuff and poor running by Sarfraz.

 

[Titan24]

How many games do Pakistan have before the WC? He needs to be played in all of them to see how he goes in 50 overs cricket.

10 games. Sometimes teams play these number of games in whole year. However by the end of Aus series which is of 5 ODIs, Pak should finalize their WC squad.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Fakhar giving away too many singles. Same being pointed out by the commies too.

True, bowling changes are good but field placing not so good.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Lahore must have missed at least 10 run out chances there.

 

[shah_1]

Six

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nawaz smacks a 6 off Rahat lol
