Looking forward to watching aamer and aizaz

 

[ShehryarK]

Onle one group has four members ?? Rest three three? What's threasob behind that??

13 teams in total That's the only practical way to divide 13 into 4 groups

 

[Sledger]

Isn't Irfan meant to be in the Multan squad?

 

[mastermind_quad]

This tournament is really very fast ......now its in ending stage ....SF's...

 

[AZ]

c'mon Lions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ShehryarK]

Isn't Irfan meant to be in the Multan squad?

According to the PCB Squad List, no:

http://www.pcboard.com.pk/Pakistan/...wenty-20_Cup_2009-10/Multan_Tigers_Squad.html


However, that's incorrect. Cricinfo has him listed in the squad, correctly:

Abdur Rauf*, Ahmed Raza, Babar Ali, Gulraiz Sadaf†, Junaid Iqbal, Kashif Naved, Mohammad Ali, Mohammad Hafeez (1), Mohammad Irfan (1), Naved Yasin, Rameez Alam, Rizwan Haider, Saeed Anwar jnr, Shahid Abbasi, Shahid Akram, Tahir Maqsood, Taimur Ahmed, Zulfiqar Babar


Have edited the post above the reflect Cricinfo's squad for Multan.

 

[AZ]

isn't Talha also in the Lions squad? I could have sworn I saw him on the bench in the last game

 

[cricwiz]

The tournament was boring till now because of difference in quality of sides...

But with all the stronger teams holding right positions at the tof of their respective groups, and no major upsets... now the tournament enters into virtual knockout stages.

On paper Lahore Lions & Sialkot Stallions should have no problems to proceed to Semi round but thats T20 cricket.. and both Multan & Rawalpindi have talent to overcome the group leaders...

 

[ShehryarK]

isn't Talha also in the Lions squad? I could have sworn I saw him on the bench in the last game

Have edited the post above the reflect Cricinfo's squad for Multan.

Shouldn't Mohammad Irfan, Naved Yasin, Rizwan Haider & Zulfiqar Babar be highlighted in bold for the team listings.. as they are the star players for Multan and they hold the key if Multan is to overcome Lahore

 

[ShehryarK]

^ There you go, you've highlighted them in bold in your post so I think that should be fine

 

[AZ]

ah, must have been a lookalike then

 

[mastermind_quad]

It is like EPL wher we almost know which clubs are going to make in semis....

I m with Stallions ...a fan of Malik

 

[pak4life]

Hopefully we start having some decent games. The quality of the batting has been really really poor big problem in Pakistan that really needs to be sorted

 

[Sledger]

Is PP TV down?

 

[TalhaSyed]

Isnt this game meant to start in like 9 minutes?

 

[Sledger]

The game has started but the channel isn't working anymore.

 

[umarf76]

irfan bowling reasonably well however lacks a bit of pace and control

 

[umarf76]

sohail nearly run out ... fatty jamshed refused to move from his crease

 

[anakwalajinn]

Good over by Irfan!
Abdur Rauf just got smacked for six.

Commentators are all over the place as usual...

"Yeh out hai... Nahin benefit of doubt jaata hai batsman ko"
And what's up with the toss? Why were they speaking english?

 

[umarf76]

abdur rauf is no longer international material .. reasonable domestic level bowler

 

[Alam_dar]
