[MenInG]

PCB have informed us that toss will take place at 9pm local

 

[LordJames]

Whoever wins the Toss when need to hammer it

 

[Kingpin786]

Like always there is a delay

 

[Asif321]

Why so late

 

[LordJames]

Islamabad does not have a good bowling attack.

 

[Titan24]

Akif Javed debuting in PSL today

 

[MenInG]

 

[minamino]

Is this a joke or what? Azam Khan playing but not Ahsan Ali? Why play Shahzad?

 

[Titan24]

Had to play one emerging player.

 

[Titan24]

Do we have much info regarding Abdul Nasir? He is probably a batsman who can bowl a bit but other than that I dont know much.

 

[shah_1]

Sad to see no Rizwan Hussain

 

[Ronaldo7]

why's rizwan hussain not playing?
my interest in this match has just fallen massively

 

[Rellu_Katta]

dont think Quetta have any emerging player other than the parchi.... i might be wrong but from memory dont think they have anyone else

 

[Brilliance]

Okay! So who is Abdul Nasir in the QG line up?

 

[Omer2002]

what a joker Moin khan is seriously i am with islamabad now although i think Quetta and peshawar are the strongest teams

 

[ARK Rafay]

why's rizwan hussain not playing?
my interest in this match has just fallen massively

I think he'll be regular when Steyn is here.

 

[Mercurial]

Looking forward to seeing Azam Khan bat, he can hit big.

 

[Mercurial]

Okay! So who is Abdul Nasir in the QG line up?

Yup, same question here. Who is he?

 

[Ronaldo7]

is abdul nasir good?
how old is he?

 

[OhTwadi]

Looking forward. IU have four specialist overseas batters, hope to see some big scores

 

[Rellu_Katta]

if the batting line of islamabad stays the same, i will have lost all remainin 0.001% respect for the gutter-man misbah

Ammad butt at no9..... no pak batsmen in top4 .... what a pathatic piece of garbage is this man

 

[minamino]

Islamabad kit looks very ordinary

 

[samiakh]

This tv production company is pathetic! Embarrassing for the PSL. Can hear all the production background talk and cant here the commentators or experts at all!!

 

[Arsal_AK]

Islamabad bat deep, very deep and some serious hitting power. If they bowl well, they are going to go far.

Zafar should be playing though.

 

[minamino]

Why Sohail Khan Why? Anwar Ali would have been a better option

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Azam khan??

 

[Arsal_AK]

Quetta lineup is all over the place. Azam Khan, lol. This will be a disaster.

I wish Naseem and Hasnain weren't with them. Especially Naseem, would love to have him at IU.

 

[OhTwadi]

PPers wil never be happy. Come on guys, have some fun, PSLs in Pakistan!

 

[b.lesner]

Arish Ali khan the highest wicket taker in U-19 is quetta 2nd emerging player but but but Azam khan sahab had to play

and Ahsan Ali can play for Pakistan but not domestic side

 

[NauV]

Why isn't Naseem Shah playing? Is he injured?

 

[minamino]

Seriously, who designs these kits? ISLU kit looks terrible.

 

[thecrusade911]

Why isn't Naseem Shah playing? Is he injured?

PCB medical staff advised Quetta to rest him for first two matches for him to recover fully.

 

[RobinJay]

That Islamabad jersey is an eye sore

 

[minamino]

Has Sohail Khan ever done anything of note in PSL? Why does he keep on getting selected?

 

[Rana]

IU top 4 all overseas.

Not the best advertisement from a good side like them

 

[Afhan Ali]

Pathetic Nawaz is deadly in PSL

 

[Rana]

Luke Raunchy

 

[minamino]

The production is really bad. There's a huge difference between this and previous seasons.

 

[Afhan Ali]

IU top 4 all overseas.

Not the best advertisement from a good side like them

Their coach wants to check different combinations for wt20
Lol

 

[shah_1]

No speed gun?

 

[Titan24]

Full house, green and pacy outfield. Though stadium should fly as well to satisfy some and I have a feeling some might still have issues.

 

[andy0204]

The production is really bad. There's a huge difference between this and previous seasons.

Calm down this is just first season in Pakistan.

 

[minamino]

Munro continues to flop

 

[Titan24]

No speed gun?

Yup. That should be there.

 

[NauV]

Azam Khan at cover point! Let's do this . . show that agility!!

 

[shah_1]

The production is really bad. There's a huge difference between this and previous seasons.

Agree

 

[Titan24]

No speed gun?

Coming in now for some balls. Sohail Khan wit 141.3 kph.

 

[MenInG]

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Do we have much info regarding Abdul Nasir? He is probably a batsman who can bowl a bit but other than that I dont know much.

He is 21 years old according to the pcb website. From a quetta gladiators talent hunt program. Only player from quetta in the sqaud. Has been playing in karachi for 4 years.

Good boundary sizes. You need entertainment in cricket

 

[minamino]

He is 21 years old according to the pcb website. From a quetta gladiators talent hunt program. Only player from quetta in the sqaud. Has been playing in karachi for 4 years.

Then why is he not emerging?

 

[Executioner]

Umm why is a match beginning at 9:30 PM local time eh?

 

[minamino]

The fact that a has been like Ronchi has been so successful in PSL is a slap on the faces of people who say that the standard of PSL’s bowling is high

 

[shah_1]

Then why is he not emerging?

Azam Khan

 

[TeymurBlake]

So Azam Khan is playing huh...

Interesting. This will be a fascinating watch.

 

[Titan24]

He is 21 years old according to the pcb website. From a quetta gladiators talent hunt program. Only player from quetta in the sqaud. Has been playing in karachi for 4 years.

Thans for the info. If he is the same guy and 21 I am not sure why he was in Silver category.

 

[Ibad17]

Boundaries are short on off and leg sides. Should have been 70 meters at least on each side.

 

[Rana]

Quetta have too many overweight, unfit and inept fielders in the side.

Sarfaraz, Hasnain, Azam Khan, Sohail Khan and even Watson isnt quite up their with professional standards anymore

 

[shah_1]

Sohail lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Those watching on cricket gateway, does it let you stream it automatically onto smart TV?

 

[Titan24]

Quetta have too many overweight, unfit and inept fielders in the side.

Sarfaraz, Hasnain, Azam Khan, Sohail Khan and even Watson isnt quite up their with professional standards anymore

Hasnain is much fitter and leaner now.

 

[shah_1]

Only looking forward to see Akif

 

[DRsohail]

Sohail Khan

 

[shah_1]

Out

 

[saeed5646]

The fact that a has been like Ronchi has been so successful in PSL is a slap on the faces of people who say that the standard of PSL’s bowling is high

Who said it apart from one overseas player phil salt

 

[the Great Khan]

Buckets of blood from the wrist slitter and moaners already in the floor...you guys are never happy..like old women on rainy days..

 

[Titan24]

Ronchi is one of the most unfulfilled potentials at international level. Had impressive skills but had to move from Aus to NZ because Aus preferred Wade and others over him.

 

[saeed5646]

Quetta won't be unbeatable on flat wickets especially in pakistan .

 

[Titan24]

Good consistent pace from Sohail Khan

 

[saeed5646]

Buckets of blood from the wrist slitter and moaners already in the floor...you guys are never happy..like old women on rainy days..

Agree with that

 

[saeed5646]

Husnain looks very fit .Excellent improvement

 

[saeed5646]

Oh man azam khan is huge embarrassment

 

[Rana]

Hasnain is much fitter and leaner now.

He is still flat footed and his fielding is sub standard.

 

[srh]

Misbah should not be involved with any PSL team. He is chief selector and head coach of Pakistan national team so this is a huge conflict of interest for him to get involved with a PSL team.

 

[Ahmed216]

Hasnain reminds me of sami. Quick but gun barrel straight

 

[shah_1]

Talat )

 

[DRsohail]

This Hussain Talat guy has not shown any Improvement.

 

[DRsohail]

Why would he Play over Rizwan Hussain.

 

[octavian]

146KPH from hasnain without ever looking threatening.
