Quetta Gladiators vs Islamabad United | PSL 5 - 1st match | 20th February, 2020 | Quetta innings

[MenInG]

Islamabad all out for 168 (19.1) CRR: 8.77

Quetta to chase 169...

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

Unbelievable how they wasted Ammad Butt's ability by sending him second last.

 

[Prince of Pakistan]

For the people complaining, Ammad Butt is basically a specialist fast bowler (with genuine pace) who can hit a few sixes.

 

[shamaan]

Unbelievable how they wasted Ammad Butt's ability by sending him second last.

100 percent why did shadab come in ahead of butt

 

[Titan24]

Akif Javed against Roy would be an interesting prospect and will be a good learning curve for Akif.

 

[amvbfm]

Extremely disappointing, but not really surprising, to see Azam playing when he shouldn't be near any respectable domestic T20 side let alone be a part of the playing XI of the top T20 team of the country.

Glad to see that Hasnain is showing improvement. His fitness is a lot better and he is hitting good lengths but still needs more variety to trouble top batsmen.

Amad didn't get a chance here but really don't think he is international material. His batting is hit or miss, with limited shots like Anwer and bowling nothing impressive. Both Fahim and Yamin are far better options.

Really looking forward to how Akif bowls against the QG openers.

 

[sindhiboy]

Open with azam khan

 

[minamino]

Now Azam Khan won't be required to bat.

 

[minamino]

Tbh Watson doesn't look much different to Azam Khan.

 

[minamino]

How did umpire not give that out?

 

[Green Patriot]

Jason Roy gone :

 

[ammar_merry]

good plan from musa as roy is weak against incoming delivery.

 

[Titan24]

Excellent length from Musa. Looks to have been working on his accuracy

 

[Usman Chadda]

Both international superstars Roy and Munro doing absolutely zilch in their first hit out, while has-beens like Ronchi make merry.

Weird league this

 

[saeed5646]

Waqar younis has done alot of work with musa .Seems alot improved with huge wicket of roy

 

[ammar_merry]

good yorker by musa

 

[TeamPak95]

oooo Roy gone, Musa strikes

 

[Mueez]

Finally PSL is back!

Big blow to Quetta.

Jason is a gamechanger.

 

[saeed5646]

Another excellent delivery 144kph

 

[Titan24]

If Musa can keep on bowling this length consistently he can be handful at every level

 

[saeed5646]

146 kph .

 

[TeamPak95]

Musa yorker

 

[Mueez]

Beautiful bowling Musa.

 

[ammar_merry]

lovely bowling

 

[sindhiboy]

Come on iu, only 3 more wickets until azam

 

[TeamPak95]

Wow Musa bowling fast

 

[shah_1]

Good bowling Musa

 

[saeed5646]

Ahmed dot ball shehzad .Same old batting from him

 

[Danyaalr01]

Good bowling. I love Musa's run up and a nice action too with a good follow through. Just needs to be accurate.

 

[Mueez]

Out swing.

Musa playing with Ahmed Shahzad.

 

[TeamPak95]

Good fielding. Wicket maiden start for Musa and Quetta.

 

[Titan24]

As per experts there is and was no chance of a 19-20 year old bowler to improve and he was being thrashed like no tmw. Still isnt a finished product but a lot to work with

 

[shah_1]

133.8

 

[Hawkeye]

MUSA!!!

What a great find.

There's fire and rage in his bowling. Beautiful to watch. 1st over much better than what Hasnain did today.

 

[shah_1]

142 wohooo

 

[saeed5646]

Hahaha is it karachi or perth .What a delivery

 

[Hawkeye]

As per experts there is and was no chance of a 19-20 year old bowler to improve and he was being thrashed like no tmw. Still isnt a finished product but a lot to work with

Ignore the haters.

Also, a lot of them were those who hate Misbah.

So, they hate anything which improves PAK cricket - don't forget they pray for PAK to lose matches.

 

[shah_1]

Wooow

 

[TeamPak95]

Ahmed dot ball shehzad .Same old batting from him

He just got here Also Musa is bowling with a bit of fire so not exactly easy to negotiate at firsthand at least.

 

[minamino]

Akif Javed the new Zaheer Khan

 

[Mueez]

That’s an eye pleasing bowling action.

 

[saeed5646]

Tbh Watson doesn't look much different to Azam Khan.

Hello buddy are you watching pakistan pacers .seems salt was not that much wrong

 

[Titan24]

MUSA!!!

What a great find.

There's fire and rage in his bowling. Beautiful to watch. 1st over much better than what Hasnain did today.

Now posters who have bashed him like no tmw in his thread either wont say anything or will wait till he balls some poor overs.

 

[Bewal Express]

Musa needs to work on his seam and use the scrambled seam as a variation.

 

[TeamPak95]

Ufff Akif, cut Watson in half

 

[shah_1]

Talent

 

[Rana]

Big man bowler is Akif Javed

 

[Titan24]

142.2 from Akif.

 

[Rellu_Katta]

woof wooof wooofffff... Muussaaa and now Akkiiiifffff....

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I like the look of this Akif.

 

[Mueez]

We have found this tournament’s find ladies and gentlemen.

Mark my words.

This kid Akif is looking good.

 

[Titan24]

What an inswinger from Akif

 

[Danyaalr01]

Beauty by Akif 2nd ball. Good pace too.

 

[Hawkeye]

Akif Javed the new Zaheer Khan

hahahaha yes!

That action, so similar.

But he's bowling so accurate.

ISLU is the best team when it comes to picking and promoting new/young talent.

Amazing.

 

[Rana]

Good height, smooth run up, good pace.

If he gets the ball to come back in he will be a devastating new ball bowler

 

[shamaan]

Wow akif javed what a first over with decent pace and swing

 

[minamino]

We have found this tournament’s find ladies and gentlemen.

Mark my words.

This kid Akif is looking good.

Next ball goes for four. Talk about hyperboles

 

[saeed5646]

Hopefully hasan ali is watching todays young pacers .He needs to sort out his issue otherwise he might find very difficult to find a place in Pakistan side

 

[Mueez]

hahahaha yes!

That action, so similar.

But he's bowling so accurate.

ISLU is the best team when it comes to picking and promoting new/young talent.

Amazing.

Misbah’s eye for talent

 

[TeamPak95]

Nice in-swinging yorker from Akif to end the over.

 

[Titan24]

There are 19-20 years old bowling 140+ and swinging the ball in every other league. Whats the hype about PSL bowling?

 

[imshally81]

Akif is beauty

 

[Hawkeye]

Now posters who have bashed him like no tmw in his thread either wont say anything or will wait till he balls some poor overs.

Yes.

Wait till Musa bowls a bad ball, then [MENTION=149684]Danyaalr01[/MENTION] will jump on him.

There's a reason Sameen is nowhere to be seen, he's a mediocre trundler. Yet some guys here hate on Musa blindly.

And... Sameen is hyped of all the people!

 

[Mueez]

Next ball goes for four. Talk about hyperboles

He will have a great tournament... atleast that’s my prediction.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Both Musa and Akif, very impressive thus far. Finally Pakistan have a bunch of 140+ KPH pacers.

 

[minamino]

hahahaha yes!

That action, so similar.

But he's bowling so accurate.

ISLU is the best team when it comes to picking and promoting new/young talent.

Amazing.

Zaheer Khan was one of the best bowlers from Asia in the 21st century. If he's even half good as him then Pakistan should play him.

 

[Hawkeye]

There are 19-20 years old bowling 140+ and swinging the ball in every other league. Whats the hype about PSL bowling?

So beautiful.

Pak suddenly has so many quality pacers coming up.

And it's no coincidence.

 

[Danyaalr01]

Excititng bowling partnerships for ISLU, QG and LQ. Musa and Akif vs Naseem and Hasnain vs Shaheen and Rauf.

 

[Kroll]

Shehzad off to his usual explosive start I see.

 

[TeamPak95]

6 from Watto, let's see how Musa responds.

 

[Titan24]

Watson with his first PSL 5 six

 

[minamino]

It wouldn't take long for Watson to show these phaast bowlers their place. Watson is still playing IPL so it means he has still got it.

 

[Rana]

Pretty average second over by Musa

 

[saeed5646]

That six by watson shows why Aussie players are mentally very strong on the other hand ahmed shehzad was shell shocked after 5 dot deliveries

 

[Kroll]

Watto on fire!

 

[Shams123]

Yes.

Wait till Musa bowls a bad ball, then [MENTION=149684]Danyaalr01[/MENTION] will jump on him.

There's a reason Sameen is nowhere to be seen, he's a mediocre trundler. Yet some guys here hate on Musa blindly.

And... Sameen is hyped of all the people!

Watson is all class!!

 

[Hawkeye]

Both Musa and Akif, very impressive thus far. Finally Pakistan have a bunch of 140+ KPH pacers.

Okay, weren't you among the Musa hate brigade when he debuted? First ever series, that too in Aus?

 

[Mueez]

Watson is a veteran cricketer.

Still remember how he played against us during QF of 2015

 

[Danyaalr01]

Yes.

Wait till Musa bowls a bad ball, then [MENTION=149684]Danyaalr01[/MENTION] will jump on him.

There's a reason Sameen is nowhere to be seen, he's a mediocre trundler. Yet some guys here hate on Musa blindly.

And... Sameen is hyped of all the people!

Ummmmm, when have I ever said he is bad. I have always spoken good of him. There are other people in this forum who say he is too short. He is still raw but age is on his side. He needs to work on consistency, when he gets it right he is unplayable.

Stop with the baseless attacks on me all the time.

 

[Forum363]

I like Musa but unfortunately, he only has pace. His height and lack of swing mean he will be a quicker version of Hasan Ali without the swing.

And it’s not like he’s Hasnain or Naseem fast either.

Akif on the other hand!! Now there is a prospect to be excited about.
