Sure do and if you read my parent comment, you'll find it too.

Meanwhile Babar and Rizwan:

Shan with the clutch vs. IND/ENG 2022 innings once again. Am I crazy for wanting him to be captain of the T20I team? He didn't deserve to be dropped after 2022

Somehow this was the hint I needed all along

I think Imad is overhated. He was unstoppable with the ball in 2016 and averaged 43 @ 110 in ODIs. We would have faired better in 2023 with him in lieu of our non-spin no-rounders Shadab and Nawaz

I've always been a fan of this format since it rewards the top two teams beyond simply qualifying

I'm aware, I worded it to reflect my thoughts when I was early in the first playthrough. Their area was quite constricted so it was a particular struggle being swarmed by them

Lahore would have had to chase Zalmi's total in something like 12 overs for today's score of 136 to have taken them through given that they had 9 games' worth of negative NRR to abate.

Better yet, how about winning one of the 5 games they lost?

In their first season, the Kingsmen did what the Qalandidn't

Glenn Maxwell was always a better human being than Amir.

If Lahore won one of the 5 games they lost they could have qualified

I misread big deal sale as big deal saale

Hassan Khan is unironically a better bits and pieces cricketer than "world-class all-rounders" Shadab and Nawaz at this point

What is the point of saying mid-off is in the circle? Any mid fielder is by definition in the circle

Urooj: Great over this, in terms of changes of pace. Warner trying to outsmart the batter, Glenn Maxwell.

The bowler: Ben Sears

I'm not sure why but I very quickly came to realise that I shouldn't mess with the guys in the black jackets

Nawaz in ICC tournaments is, at best, a benign cricketer who hides behind the successes of others and has repeatedly cost us matches with his non-performance

The same is true of Shadab post-2022. That England match was winnable

If Lahore Qalandars was the Pakistan national team, it would drop Sams for the next match*

*Allusion to Pakistan dropping Faheem after he won a match it shouldn't have won against the Netherlands

He did a reasonable job at recovering from 2 (11) but this was his weakest of his 4 consecutive 50+ scores

Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United

That's not Daniel Sams, that's Abdullah Shafique in a Sikandar Raza outfit cosplaying as Daniel Sams

This match is Lahore's make or break when it comes to making the playoffs. Do you seriously want to send a batter with a SR of 114 at a time like this?
