Superstars are finding the groove. That pitch in Hyderabad is belter. I wanna bat there.

Michael Bevan said it was the last match he was ever going to play.

Good cameo knock by him (20 odd of 8 or 9 balls). Just what the superstars needed in the last couple of overs.

that was amazing batting from Hasan Raza for the Lahore Badshahs!!
but he finish on 98* just 2 runs short of the first centry in the ICL.

There's only one division, so where are you gonna relegate them into?

Lahore Badshahs are an International side and have no business in the ICL.

I suppose the only factor is bringing in the crowds with all those stars. But I still feel that these Pakistani players could have been distributed equally to the other teams instead of bringing them all together.

It's unfair in the sense that many of them have, till recently, been playing at the highest level and the bunch of Indian youngsters in the ICL are clearly intimidated by the Pakistani stars.

I suppose we need to wait for other "International" sides to come up to even things out -- e.g. Colombo Conquerors, Dhaka Destroyers and so on

I think what hari means is the experience that the Badshahs carry with them. There would definately be more than two teams from Pakistan next time round.

What I meant was that had it not been for the PCB's petty politics, many of those players are indeed eligible to play for International cricket.

Going by the current Pakistan side, there's no world class batsman there except Misbah Ul Haq and Younis Khan (Yousuf is getting too old to play ODI cricket, I feel).

Why the hell Azhar Mehmood and Abdul Razzaq are out of the Pakistani ODI side, I will never know.

You left out Imran Nazir who definitely played for Pakistan in the T20 world cup. You've also left out Inzamam Ul Haq who's still a fantastic player.

Actually most of them are fit, but PCB will never understand this and they don't have a ******* brain to know that Razzaq, Azhar Mahmood, Nazir and Saqlain are too good to be in the Pakistan team!
