Pakistan Super League 2023 (Feb 13-March 19)

[NYRB]

It was a good comeback, wasn't it? Do you know why Wade is batting at 6 and most likely not wicket keeping?

He has been struggling a bit at the top of the order as opener. Maybe feel like it might be better to save him for the late order power hitting. Karachi 8 onwards looks a bit thin on batting .

 

[NYRB]

Wade not batting in the top 6 thats a surprise.

 

[NYRB]

Imad Wasim 50 off 35 balls

 

[NYRB]

17 off that Raees over

 

[NYRB]

13 off Ali's 3rd over

 

[NYRB]

Kings 150 up in 97 balls.

Karachi post a competitive 201 against Islamabad United.

was at a sports bar last night, Kieron Pollard as sad as to admit, isnt clutch anymore.

Also Lahore Qalanders probably left about 15-20 runs out there but their bowling unit is rightfully an international class lineup with: Wiese, Rashid Khan, Shaheen Afridi.

I could have told you that a few years ago. I don't understand MI's insistence to keep him. He looks overweight, and seems to barely move his arms anymore.
Probably best relegated to the lower leagues like the UAE and possibly the BBL for that cash now

He would struggle in the BBL. But he got late junk runs when the game was well over.

[NYRB]

Sarafarz is also one of those players, that is probably past his prime.

 

[NYRB]

Martin Guptill is tarnishing his reputation as a cricketer with gigs in the BBL and PSL. He is truly past his prime.

This post aged well.

 

[ioppolo]

Shoaib Malik still going at 40.

 

[NYRB]

Quetta May have won the game last night but they missed a trick tactically last night sending in an out of sort and injured Safaraz ahead of Pretorius.

Safaraz really struggled .
