RBS T20 Cup | 1st Semi-Final: Lahore Lions v Faisalabad Wolves | 06/Mar/10

[AZ]

Lahore Lahore hai ...)

kyun zakhmon pe namak chhirak rahe ho dost...absolutely gutted who the F knew Hafeez was going to play such an epic innings...

and Shahid Nazir definitely did something to the ball there, that was some crazy reverse swing he was getting there! issed: issed:

 

[Umta]

Hafeez and Shahid Nazir should be selected for T20 world cup

Shahid Nazir is a good death over bowler, with Gul out of form, he could be very handy and he is in good form. Hafeez could not only open but also bowl some economical overs. They should be selected for T20 WC

Akmal gets the most catch award.

Oh the irony! )

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Anyone who performs in a game Should Be in the squad. Going by that there should be No Afridi, No Aamir, No Gul, No Fawad in the T20 squad.

I love the selection criteria.

LMAO, host just said congrats on booking your spot in the WC team to Hafeez.

 

[Umta]

Oh come on guys, we dont have an opener, wickets in West Indies will suit Hafeez both batting and bowling wise. Shahid Nazir played for Badshahs too and is a good bowler

 

[Sledger]

Facepalm.

 

[pakmania]

Facepalm.

Damn,you beat me to it

 

[Paradox]

Facepalm.

If I was RBS, Id be pretty pi55ed.

Its all about being professional.

And thats why we suck big time - we dont have any professionalism within the set up - and the idiots that run our game are even worse.

 

[Monsee]

I didn't mean it that way. I'm not blaming them. Chasing 200+ takes something special, so if you dont get it, it doesn't mean you played badly.

Lahore needed both Akmal bros to fire but they couldn't and thats why Lions will lose this. But this doesn't mean that they are to blame, its just that they couldn't do the spectacular today, nothing to be blamed for.

Butt being the less aggressive player had the easier task of playing relatively slowly but not getting out, and he did that. It was much harder for Akmal bros because the combination had to play the kind of innings Hafeez played, and no shame in not pulling it off.

It is easier to defend Butt now because he had a 150 SR but looking live, he wasted tons of deliveries by not being able to rotate the strike and playing 2-3 dot balls only to hit a 4 later to keep his SR up...this puts pressure on the other player and he tries something extraordinary and gets out. If he was batting well and was settled, he should have at least tried to not play any dot balls. But, he started his innings with 2 dot balls, 1 ball for 4 and then one dot ball. That set the stage for others to try something special and all went down hill from there

We have seen this so many times when Mr. Butt-aaah does it while playing for Pak...it is not even a surprise no more

 

[Oxy]

^Butt is a proven 'non-T20 player'

Cant do it domestically - forget about for Pak!!!

always need to go the negative way...bottom line, 59 off 42 deliveries.

And Lahore decided to leave one of the best Int'l T20 players and their last skipper out of the team (who last time took them to the Final I think)...while making this tuk-tuk-kachar the captain!

Only in Pakistan...if I was the team coach, I would not even allow Butt-aaah to be the water man for my team because his slowness, lazy attitude, and stupid shot selection would some how rub off on others, even though he would not be playing at all!

 

[pakmania]

Without those runs,Lahore would have been even more embarrassed

Butt-aaah Lover Phai Jaan, look through the whole thread and tell me if there was more than one guy defending Mr. Tuk-Tuk-Kachar man; everyone who watched it live could see him playing dot ball after dot balls and hence putting pressure on other batsmen.

I am not even sure why you are defending him (despite being his biggest fan)...you must know his usual routine by now anyway?
