Faisal bringing in the crowds for T10

Who is Sharad Kapoor? Never heard of this unknown Bollywood Star.

 

[troodon]

Irfan taken to cleaners by Miller.

 

[another drop catch]

Miller destroyed irfan

 

[troodon]

What is Darren Bravo doing in a T10 tournament?

I would not pick him even a T100 tournament.

 

[Abdullah719]

Imran Khan jnr bowling 99 kph thunderbolts.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Seriously if you play DM bravo in a t10 match you deserve to lose.

The DM inning was 100% match winning if you had any half decent batter at the other end.

 

[troodon]

Pak bowling is so strong at the moment that world has totally forgotten about the likes of Sohail Khan, Mohammed Irfan completely.

 

[Saj]

What an innings by Miller.

Smashed the bowling to all parts.

Afridi didn't fancy bowling to Miller - only bowled 1 over.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Umar Gul bowled such a huge noball. Almost as big as the one Amir bowled.

 

[GreenKhan]

Is this available to watch in the UK. I can't seem to find it. Thought it was on in ARY digital .

 

[troodon]

Zarine Khan being interviewed. She dyed her hair brown to match Afridis

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

De Lange is prime example of fast bowling with brain is useless. Just comes in and bowls fast without any variation.

 

[ammar_merry]

Umar Gul bowled such a huge noball. Almost as big as the one Amir bowled.

it was no where near amir's one

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Afridi lol

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Shahid Afridi should be owning this format but has failed so far.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

38 17 balls Shezzy boy

 

[MRSN]

Camera goes to a female and commentator says "oh my god"..

 

[MRSN]

Shehzad looked good today.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

49 off 20 needed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

BoomBoom bust

 

[MRSN]

looks tough now that Afridi is gone.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

I guess.

I thought so too.

 

[ammar_merry]

anwar ali is getting hammering from zaman and sarfaraz

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Fakhar

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Sensational striking by Fakhar

 

[ammar_merry]

wonderful shots from fakhar before he got out.

 

[MMHS]

Sarfu is walking on thin glass, it'll be unfortunate if he is fined for these league, but he needs to control himself as PAK captain - might end up missing out critical ties.

 

[Theo_14]

I really hope they fine Sarfraz. You don't knock the stumps off; how must the bowler feel?

Sarfraz has been nothing special with the bat in T10 or during his captaincy era for Pak. Spotlight has gone to head, he needs to stop with this aggression.

 

[majiz]

'T10'
i want this ride to end

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Anyone know the format? Was this a semifinal?

 

[MMHS]

OK, first impression from T10 is that, I am hardly watching batting or bowling - my entire focus is going at the corner score card for every ball & head is counting numbers more than watching the game. And, they are showing so many things between every ball that I am sure if kids start to watch this, they'll suffer from acute attention deficiency syndrome.

 

[ammar_merry]

Anyone know the format? Was this a semifinal?

no these are not semifinals...
these are cross group matches to eliminate last 2 teams

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Wahab has been poor

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tanvir

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Kerala Kings making good noise

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Jayasuriya run out

 

[ammar_merry]

Wahab has been poor

ecomony of 9...thats brilliant in t10

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Finally rain plays spoil sport

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Riley Rossouw wasted his talent by going Kolpak

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Commetators don't know why Rossouw don't play international cricket #facepalm.

What about T15?

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Riley Rossouw wasted his talent by going Kolpak

No. He's maximizing his talent going Kolpak.

He's now free of racist quotas and free to play in tourneys around the world paid his true value.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Umar Akmal

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Punjabi Ronchi

 

[troodon]

Umar Akmal looks great when he plays proper shots. The moment he tries to improvise, looks like a total tailender.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

And gone... Lovely jinx by our Indian friends lol

 

[Madplayer]

Akmal butterfingers gave away a singlr

 

[DRsohail]

score is too much to be chased..

 

[Madplayer]

No ball by Amir. Pretty big, Half a foot.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor batting and bowling by Punjabi

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Maratha winning this easily

 

[ammar_merry]

No ball by Amir. Pretty big, Half a foot.

big no ball... zulqarnain will be having a go tomorrow

 

[Abdullah719]

Great spell by Amir, 1/13 in a high-scoring match. Couple of balls at 147kph+.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brathwaite has been awful too

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Superb effort saved a six

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Bravo loving it

 

[Madplayer]

Great spell by Amir, 1/13 in a high-scoring match. Couple of balls at 147kph+.

Those 147kph balls looked like 155 kph to be honest. They absolutely zipped through off the pitch

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Even hit this new ignore people

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Those 147kph balls looked like 155 kph to be honest. They absolutely zipped through off the pitch

Because of the rain

 

[Madplayer]

Faheem needs to smack. Punjabis need 15 to qualify.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

zahoor bowling a dream over

 

[Madplayer]

11 from 3 to qualify.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They can't even connect bat on ball

 

[Madplayer]

zahoor bowling a dream over

Who is this guy?

 

[Madplayer]

5 needed of 1 ball to qualify.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Brathwaite

 

[Madplayer]

Wowwewwww braithwaite hits it for a 6 and Punjabi legends qualify.

They lose the match though.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They've qualified for the semi finals

 

[ammar_merry]

remember the name

 

[Abdullah719]

Looks like Brathwaite only performs when it's an absolute do or die situation.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

I don't understand this. How did Punjab qualify ahead of Bengal? Bengal got chased their total of the last ball and Punjab lost by 14 runs?

 

[last_knight]

Ramiz Raja and 'Talents'. Getting sick now.

 

[MMHS]

What about T15?

It'll be Eagle actually (F15) - not bad, but it doesn't serve the purpose of 2 hours cricket. As I posted in other thread - 9 players, 12 overs, 4 bowlers X 3, 4 men inside circle, 4 overs PP .............. 170 runs in 12 overs, 300+ runs and about 50+ boundaries in 2 hours - it's dynamic cricket - passion, power, grace, charisma, class, speed, spirit, personality, big heart ..... every adjective that had been used by Cardus or Arllott will be there.

Besides, it'll be better for off the field game as well - fast paced show in 2 hours, you can play on every ball and in 2 hours for the big ticket item - toss, direct winners, losers...... And, you can play 3 such games in a day - that's 3 bites to recover your investment. And, it's convenient as well 18 is always better than 22, if I see it from "management" perspectives - risk is 25% less. That's space age cricket.

 

[Abdullah719]

I don't understand this. How did Punjab qualify ahead of Bengal? Bengal got chased their total of the last ball and Punjab lost by 14 runs?

The table was based on all 3 matches played by each team so on overall table, PL had better NRR than BT.

Slightly confusing but after groups, the points and NRR carried over to combined table.

 

[Abdullah719]

Ramiz Raja and 'Talents'. Getting sick now.

Everyone is a 'talent'. Even Ronchi and Malik are talents. He has no other descriptive word sadly.
