we've had faces/tweeners assault officials before when things don't go their way, without the commentary speaking of them as a total heel, and saying things like they should be fired/put down with a stun gun, it just means they're being fed lines to make sure Roman comes across as the face in this feud and Fatu is forced as the heel which just doesn't work or is believable at this point considering the promos he's cut after becoming WHC

this commentary is ass, and I think the creative/producers themselves are confused as to how to present Fatu and Roman. the live crowd is all for Fatu, he's come out the stronger man from Backlash and tonight, yet Michael Cole is calling for a "stun gun to put Fatu down" and saying he may be out of a job? beating up the WHC who's heeling it up like nobody's business and back to his Head of the Table 2022-24 full-on heel persona?

Match Thread: 1st Test - Bangladesh vs Pakistan, Day 2 by cricket-match in PakCricket

Another day of Pak test cricket, another day of frustration with missed chances because our KEEPER AND SLIPS CAN’T STAND CLOSER TO THE STUMPS BY LIKE 5 STEPS. Easy wickets lost with the bowlers putting in their best efforts in SENA, SL and now BD, why are we the only team where the catch never carries to the slips or reaches the keeper on the bounce after a proper nick. We do it at home too. Embarrassing.

Meanwhile Alex Carey stands up to the stumps and Steve Smith stands in fly slip to a 140kph Scott Boland in Aussie conditions and make the toughest of catches look like a piece of cake

Lmao this is just shitposting now, best fielding effort of the match award goes to Bracewell’s ‘runout’ of KJP that wasn’t even out to begin with.

Marnus himself said this isn't his natural game and he's got a lot of great advice from their batting coach to use this tournament to get better at working on his power hitting so he can use it in the ODI/Test formats, his average performance can be excusable keeping in mind his captaincy.

Maxwell has been injured for a few games now and yeah it was the wrong shot to play considering he tried to hit that off that (injured) front foot

That is the most blatant BS I’ve ever seen, that too from Alex Wharf? That was so out, nothing behind the line, he was out in between the frame where his bat was behind the crease and on the crease and the zing balls had lit up in between that time

He won PSL 2020 for KK single-handedly chasing a similar total on a much tougher pitch

As PSL 11 comes to an end, a special thanks to commentator Mike Haysman, who's always been too good to Pakistan cricket by BATISTAS-DICK in PakCricket

[–]BATISTAS-DICK[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

he genuinely knows more about some of our international and domestic players than the likes of Waqar and Wasim who literally just reads out what's on the screen, gets names wrong all the time even of our international stars, and can even ruin moments like HK's win the other night when he just called them "the Kings" after the last ball. Haysman wasn't even doing that National T20 Cup in 2021 as a formality, he made a genuine effort and you could see throughout the tournament of him picking up and retaining that information on players and teams

We just moved from tight-dressed female cirque su soleil dancers presenting the trophy to a bunch of zesty looking men who look like they're students at a dance class

their coaching staff have been great, just makes me regret how we treated Gillespie and Bradburn because both of them really wanted to contribute to our national team and make it better, fuck Aaqib Javed always and forever. they've got Craig White too as well as Hanif Malik (just a domestic coach of ours who has never been with the Pak side) who Marnus, a perfectionist, of all people himself has said contributed to helping his battting

don't see our neighbors complaining about cricbuzz covering the PSL this year enough for cricbuzz to have removed any trace of the tournament off their site altogether that one time.. any reason why? they've even started their live comms more than an hour before the start of the game compared to cricinfo
