I think M Salman is the other left armer who opened for Lahore.

Abdullah bhai, Nauman Anwar's 47 and Usman Khalid's 46 are two innings worth an upload if you have time. Haven't had a chance to watch the other batsmen so can't comment.

Like Chief Destroyer said, there is no rush.

Just saw Usman Khalid's innings.... seems like an entertainer. :afridi

I didn't know about the early start today so missed pretty much all of Gauhar Hafeez's 80. :facepalm:

Not exactly sure whether you meant that as a good thing or not.

Thanks for uploading btw, this is the innings I was referring to.

Khalid's innings was one of the few times a batsman in this tournament cleared the boundary with ease.

Some of the shots weren't great and there is obviously work to be done, but he played the pacers particularly well and looked very strong on the off side (just look at some of those shots over cover).
 
He only scored 24 (11) but Nauman played some sweet shots in his innings against Layyah.
 
[MENTION=139510]saeed5646[/MENTION]

You asked me whether there were any decent offspinners in this tournament.

Ahmer Ajaz played his first match for Layyah today and picked up 3-29 against Faisalabad.

Was getting good turn and bounce (both with his stock and quicker delivery) and varied his speed well. Was getting good loop too.

His action reminded me a little bit of a right handed Abdur Rehman.

Mentioned above that I didn't know about the early start so missed it. :(

If there's a replay or highlights on at sometime then I'll see what can be done.
 
Layyah’s opening batsman M Nadeen has potential. Scored 74 (55) against Bahawalpur which he then followed up with a 57 (37) against Faisalabad, both whilst chasing.

Has a strong frame, and some of the shots he played brought back memories of Inzi, and I’m not just saying that because of his build! The difference is Nadeem rotates the strike well, as he is able to play with soft hands as well as clear the boundary.
He is particularly strong against pacers, and the shots that took him to 6 and 28 in his innings against Faisalabad (both off Ehtisham Sultan no less) were Sharjeel-esque. Picks up length well and looks like he has plenty of time when batting. Was pretty innovative too- wasn’t afraid to reverse sweep or play the scoop, against spinners and fast bowlers alike.

That said, he’s by no means the finished article. He tried over-hitting the ball a few times and he ended up looking ugly and hacking it. He has the time and power to find the boundary with proper cricket shots, so he needs to stop trying to hit it so hard. Also needs to develop his boundary hitting shots against the fuller length, particularly through the covers- doesn’t really seem to play the drive.
 
Ehtisham's opening over against Layyah was pretty good. Was getting some nice shape.

I don't think that he was part of the LQ main squad.

I has checked the LQ squad after the draft he was neither there in emerging category(Md Irfan & Usman Qadir) nor he was a supplementary pick.
 
Shoaib Akhtar joins Lahore Qalandars as Mentor and Haris Rauf signs long term contract

Lahore– 6th October, 2017: Rawalpindi Express, world’s fastest and most fearsome bowler Shoaib Akhtar joined Lahore Qalandars as a mentor. Chairman, Lahore Qalandars Fawad Rana announced and introduced Shoaib as the new acquisition of Qalandars at a Press Conference in Gaddafi Stadium alongside a panel which included Director Cricket, Aqib Javed, C.E.O Lahore Qalandars Atif Rana and the new fast bowling prodigy Haris Rauf who was spotted bowling at a speed of 92mph during the talent hunt in Gujranwala.

Haris Rauf has signed a 10 year contract with Lahore Qalandars as he will be a part of the Qalandars squad which will play a tri series in Australia against Sydney Thunder, Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricane.

“I’m honored and privileged to be a part of Qalandars. Extremely excited and thrilled. Haris is from Pindi and he is the find of Aqib Javed. Aqib knows a talent when he sees one.” stated Shoaib at the press conference.

“I was honoured when Shoaib told me that he will mentor Haris Rauf and join us at Qalandars. He is a legend of the game, the world’s fastest bowler and a Qalandar himself” exclaimed an excited Fawad Rana.
 
Today's semi final should be good.

Some excellent players in both teams (Pindi and Layyah).

Zeeshan Malik, Sajawal Riaz, Kamran Ghulam, Rohail Nazir, M Nadeem, Ajmer Ajaz, Usman Khalid etc.

Not too many pacers on show though, from memory.
 
Sohail Ahmed (39 off 18) and Rohail Nazir (29 off 12) batted beautifully. Some very impressive strokes and scored at excellent strike rates, especially in the last few overs.

Zeeshan Malik (38 off 28) also batted well. Didn't get a chance to watch Sajawal Riaz bat.

No problem.

Only bowled two overs today but picked up a wicket. 15 runs came from his two overs.

Zeeshan looked so good today, was in full flow. It's a shame he got out when he did as he was looking unstoppable.

Just watched- Riaz looked good for his 13 but unfortunately couldn't press on.
 
177 is the target but most of Pindi's bowlers are pretty average so this could get close.

42-0 off 5 overs.

Kamran Ghulam comes on to bowl.
 
Ghulam gets Nadeem. Shame- was hoping Nadeem scored big today.

Ghulam continues to impress though.
 
This is the first year Layyah playd in this tournament and so to reach the final is a huge achievement.

Have caused quite a few upsets on the way.

Decent knock. Pretty strong on his front foot, especially playing shots down the ground.

I did say Pindi's bowling was weak, and it showed.

Great effort from Layyah to chase 177 in a semi. I know Sikander top scored for them, but to be honest Usman Khalid impressed me more. He backed up the 46 he scored in the previous game with 32 today.

Meanwhile, Bilal Shah Afridi had a day to forget will the ball.

Still raw- needs to work on his control.

Your thoughts?

I agree with your assessment. Looks pretty decent in terms of the raw ingredients but obviously control is not there at this stage.

At any rate, it's nice to see an actual off-spinner in action.

Good catch. Here's the video of his 57, will try and locate the other knock as well. Some effortless shots there.

Thanks bhai. As excellent as ever.

Usman Khalid's innings from yesterday is also worth an upload (if you have the time and bandwidth!) Scored 32 yesterday to follow up on his 46 in the previous game.
 
Mamoon Ur Riaz looks quality.
[MENTION=141557]Chief Destroyer[/MENTION]

He's bowling with Ameer at the other end- two quick tall bowlers complimenting one another nicely.
 
Mamoon Ur Riaz:

Picked up 2-13 from 2.5 overs in his first match
1-23 from 4 overs in his second match
0-22 from 4 overs in his third match

Bowled a very good first over today, and just as I type he takes his second wicket today.
 
Hurried Nauman Anwar into that shot and he got his wicket.
 
Looking forward to seeing Sultan and Mudassir Riaz bowling later on today.
 
Too many loose balls from Ameer today.
 
Legspinner Raja Farzan is on- has bowled pretty well in the tournament so far.

(They've corrected his name from Farhan to Farzan btw).
 
The commentators are trying to have a philosophical discussion about the nature of luck. :facepalm:

Called it.

5-17 from 3.4 overs. Was on a hat-trick at one point.

To the naked eye, it looked as though he was bowling a yard or two quicker today.

Lahore's probably the fastest pitch in the country atm and he made most of the bounce. Like Irfan, he's not a finished product but the raw ingredients are there. Irfan did the same thing last tournament. He's booked his ticket to Australia and I have a feeling Aussies are gonna like him just as they did with Irfan.
 
Really well bowled by Mamoon Riaz. Also thought Ehtisham bowled a good spell up front.

How many of these players are progressing to the main squad? And are the likes of Irfan Jr, Mudassar and Badar going to remain apart of the squad, as none of the aforementioned trio were retained.

Yes, he definitely made the most of conditions today.

Good thing is he still performed on the lifeless pitches in Muzaffarabad which shows he is not just a one trick pony.

From what I recall, Irfan was a little erratic in Australia but improved as the tour went on. Obviously conditions will be unfamiliar, but the likes of Ameer and Mamoon may well enjoy the pace and pounce of Australian pitches, especially with their height.

I suspect Ameer Hamza might miss out.

LQ will more likely than not go with four genuine pacers with Mudassar Riaz as the the bowling all-rounder. Harris Rauf, Ehtisham Sultan and now Mamoon are a given. That leaves the likes of Ali Raza, Hamza himself, Kaleem and Irshad competing for a single spot.

Last year, they took five pacers plus Mudassar Riaz as the bowling all-rounder, which takes the total to six. If they repeat that this year, then I would be surprised if Ameer misses out. In any case, he has still got the final to put in (another) good performance.

You're right I missed the left-armer that was apart of last years squad. Anyhow, even if he does make the squad I doubt he'll get a game aside from the practice games against Uni and grade teams.

Let him get on the plane first!

Why do you think they will prefer to play the others over him?

Rauf and Irshad (if selected) have been selected on potential rather than any stand out performance this tournament.

Ameer's pretty damn good. If he's self taught, that's quite impressive.

Mamoon's a bit dangly. He needs to become more compact and linear. A bit more extension of the front leg to generate pace from bottom up instead of top down. Right now he's coming over the front leg but not really catapulting himself. Let's hope he gets the right training and technical coaching.

Rising Stars that impressed in First season :

Batsmen.. Zeeshan Malik, Rafay, Tabrayz, Sikandar and Sargodha's Top-6.

I was impressed most by Tabrayz.

Bowlers .. Ehtisham Sultan and Irfan ( ? Irfan Elahi) . And a thin lean Left arm Pacer from Fsd, iirc Mudassir.

Usual Suspects.
 
Much better from Hamza today- especially first two overs.

Picked up the dangerous Nadeem.
