From cricinfo:

Khurram Zia Kha: "Shahid Afridi came in, promised much deliver none, a decade old history,big set back for Zalmi"

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

Sammy can still do a lot of damage, last hope for the Zalmis

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

Anwar Ali wayward as always. bowls some good balls in between

50 partnership

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

seems like another 130th total

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

Sammy departs, well played

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

135/7 thanks to Darren Sammy

136 is the target for gladiators

59 runs coming off the last 5 overs

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

Fine inn by Sammy 48… :k:

Target for Glads: 136

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

We should not be too critical of PSL. They have gone for turning pitches this time.

Although bigger totals are more entertaining and exciting for the crowds, limited overs cricket should not be all about batting-friendly surfaces.

In future they should go for pitches where you can score 150-160 if you bat well and apply yourselves. 200 +/- scores are too boring and also not good for cricket. One wants to see a good contest between bat and ball.

It is still early days but the first edition of PSL might be remembered for brilliance by spinners rather than batsmen.

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

Sammy mere waaar.. Zulmi's hero! But Glads should really be taking easy and keep going around 6 per over without losing wickets. But well who knows. I'm still surprised khi couldnt score 130

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

That was a great start by Galds but shehzad just blew it. Such a simple catch as if doing catching practice. Ridiculous

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

After one fluke innings Shehzad back to his normal self.

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

Glads need a big partnership. Zumis are bowling really good and they can turn it around

Re: Pakistan Super League, 7th Match: Quetta Gladiators v Peshawar Zalmi

79/4

Zalmi's turning it around
