One of, if not the greatest T20 knock you'll ever likely to see.

That innings was absolutely superb. As Mr Redknapp says if he was Indian you’d never stop hearing about him
It’s absolutely ridiculous that the IPL discriminates against Pakistani players. Someone should take a standIf he was Indian he would be world famous

Hahaha so true. Definitely up there with the likes of Root, Williamson, Kohli and Smith for me.If he was Indian he would be world famous
The best thing about that innings was the fact he was hitting over 200 SR but didn't slog it once. Proper classy cricket shots. Had me purring. Shame he didn't get the *, deserved it.

I don't watch it, out of principal. Hate the BCCICC. Who said you shouldn't mix politics with sport?
And his. It’s appalling

Who's he playing for over here? Still Somerset?

They don’t appear to have snapped him up yet. Latest update I can find is then signing him up for 2020
Aye they have no right to call themselves “the best T20 league in the world” if they won’t let some of the best players around have a go based on their nationality. Yet no one ever calls them out. Media should be all over it

Really? No one has snapped him up yet? Surprising, not as if they have loads of international cricket coming up.
Agree wholeheartedly about the media's whitewashing of the IPL. They are all too afraid to upset the gravy train. Disgusting really.
I don't even know what the reason is anymore. Something to do with terrorism? India's government think Pakistan had something to do with the Mumbai attacks?
Still don't see how it's the Pakistan players fault though. If the ICC had any balls they'd be sanctioning the Indians, for refusing to play them in bilateral series at the very least.

Did you not see Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi running amok in the hotel?
Aye no idea what the issue is these days. Never takes much to set it off mind. Although tbf is it much different to us not playing Zimbabwe since 2003 or whenever it was? Both are pretty poor on a purely sporting level imo

We haven't played Zimbabwe for that long? Wow. How come? Mugabe? Hasn't he fucked off now though?Did you not see Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi running amok in the hotel?

It's the fans who miss out in the end. No Pak Vs India unless it's an ICC tourney is a shame. It's like if we stopped playing the Aussies for some reason.

Hope him and Rizwan light up T20 World Cup with it being in India

I presume so. Think their new bloke is a bit dodgy as well. Plus unfortunately there’s no money in playing them these days, well for the last 15 years really

It’s probably pissed off those Indian Bookmakers too mate.

As much as I want us to win it.
Would be amazing if they could, beating them in a semi or something. Final would probably start riots.
Something has to change with their relationship and cricket surely has to be the biggest healer.
Mental that IPL for all its crap never had Afridi involved.
Babar battling against the Indians in a a league would be worth watching.

Never knew but then I haven't really watched it.
Odd they did in the first season, then abandoned.
Although was it 2009 when the bus got shot up?
