Sharjeel clueless against a fully retired Steyn.

Kami gone soft dismissal

[Rana]

Sharjeel 4 from 10 balls

And then 36 from 18 balls

 

[Bhaijaan]

Sharjeel Khan bohot marta hae yaar. He’s venting all his past frustrations in this tournament that was originally meant to be fun games.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bolti band?

He's struggled against him what's bolti band about that

Dale Steyn who retired a few years ago, in overcast English conditions. A fish doesn’t forget how to swim

Are you siding with Steyn now or sticking with Sharjeel

The whole tourney has been played in wet overcast conditions.

I’m just saying it’s not easy to hit a bowler of Steyn’s quality in these conditions.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I’m just saying it’s not easy to hit a bowler of Steyn’s quality in these conditions.

It's easy to smash others who retired 5-10 years back and now carrying pot bellies and bowling at 70mph.

 

[Rana]

Maqsood no flow in Nottinghamshire

 

[AAli98]

Is this called fat boys league? Why was Azam Khan left behind?

 

[Rana]

Big, big bombs!

 

[Kianig89]

Steyn showed who's the daddy epic

Sharjeel critics are still stuck in the 3rd over

extremely sad lives

@Deewana Mastana stopped doing commentary of the match

 

[Deewana Mastana]

extremely sad lives

@Deewana Mastana stopped doing commentary of the match

Where was the commentary in the first place

Tuned in and saw him struggle for a couple of balls against Steyn and called what I saw.

Some guys can't hack it that he can struggle.

 

[Kianig89]

The quality of cricket is appalling

Nothing in there but driving home about it as usual @Rana jee

 

[Rana]

Complete waste of an innings. Ruining the momentum of Sharjeel also

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maqsood gone for his struggling 24 off 24

Only retired players should be allowed in this buzurg league.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

When you coming down to see us @Rana jee

 

[Rana]

Tbf Maqsood has been good so it’s not fair to criticise him for the flop show today

But it’s proof this isn’t an easy wicket to bat on

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi 6 first ball which should've been caught lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even Afridi couldn't believe it lol

 

[Rana]

When you coming down to see us @Rana jee

See off Tahir’s last over and then drop big bombs Sharjeel

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi will feaSt on Lange's and Rorys

He's having fun so far let's see how far he's able to go

 

[Rana]

[Rana]

This is a fair test

Tahir v Sharjeel

Sharjeel has struggled to pick him

Fat hack is showing these buzurgs how to play. LOL

Sharjeel khan is the biggest waste of talent from Pakistan in the past decade. Only God knows what he would done if he was allowed to open in place of Babar or Rizwan

Lol hahah fat hack was struggling against imran Tahir and he got out now.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sharjeel gone for 72 off 36 to Tahir

 

[Rana]

Soft dismissal

He should have just seen Tahir out

This league should be for fully retired players.

2009 vibes out there now

Poor game awareness

I couldn't find it on YouTube.
Anyhow, I just found out it's live on the FanCode app in India, I've started watching.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Philander v Afridi

It’s Ajay Devgan Cricket Council rules

He wants players who can drop big bombs too!

Lol Charles langeveldt is 50 years old hahaha. It's embarrassing for players like fat hack to hit 50 years old buzurg like him

I would've shared it here but could've been a risky one.

Mazay aye mazay

Steyn v Malik and Afridi

 

[RidiculousMan]

1-19 off his 4 overs

Imran Tahir

Funny Sharjeel struggled and got out against an active bowler. When he was smashing the retired bowlers.

It's a big difference going against an active Cricketer vs Retired ones.

 

[Rana]

It's embarrassing to watch current players bashing these fully retired 50 years oldies.

There are a few players in every team who are kind of active

South Africa have Dane Villas and Snyman, Imran Tahir was in PSL last year

West Indies with Chadwick Walton, Fidel Edwards and Suleiman Ben

India’s 4-5 unknown guys are active fc cricketers apparently. Some of their players retired just last year.

England have picked a pretty poor team tbf.

Australia ok with Coulter Nile, Dunk, Finch, Payne

Sharjeel isn’t the only one who shouldn’t be if that’s the case.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Across the line hack does it for Afridi

Steyn gets his man

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They'll go off now

Ok not yet

 

[Rana]

The sixes Sharjeel hit were crowed killers

Absolute bombs!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They should try and still get 200 from here.

5 overs left should get 60.

Missiles

 

[Cricket Warrior]

180 would be more than enough for this South African side

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Why did Pakistan pick current PSL players while all other teams are playing with oldies? This is a clear advantage.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

180 would be more than enough for this South African side

They've already got 180 and have 10 balls left

 

[Rana]

Younis sent Afridi, Razzaq and Malik ahead of himself and Misbah


Misbah would have sent himself before Razzaq and Afridi

 

[tahir_dj]

Watching razzaq bring back memories he was next level

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Razzaq having fun now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Younis sent Afridi, Razzaq and Malik ahead of himself and Misbah


Misbah would have sent himself before Razzaq and Afridi

YK is YK after all

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Lovely to see Razzaq in full flow. More enjoyable than watching sharjeel and Malik etc.

Retired v Retired is what makes this interesting.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why did Pakistan pick current PSL players while all other teams are playing with oldies? This is a clear advantage.

I suppose its because many retired and old players in Pakistan are free and don't have many opportunities to do something.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Razzaq still has hitting power; he's smashing it.
