Pakistan Super League - General Discussions

I don’t think you grasp quite how big the EPL is.

Couldn’t follow this tournament much due to it being locked behind FanCode. Got to see that Imad’s knockout stats are utterly bonkers this time around. Any chance of him making a well deserved comeback to the national side after this?

Depends if he un-retires. If he does, I think he makes it, because there’s a gap at number 7 in the team, and Nawaz has been in stinky form

He’s a no brainer pick for me. He’s got CPL experience, has shown that he can perform in knockout games and is the perfect T20 player. If I were the PCB I’d be approaching him ASAP to get him back again and I would even offer him the captaincy if Shaheen is to be sacked.

and I would even offer him the captaincy if Shaheen is to be sacked.

Agree with everything else, but this may be a little too much - but then again, he did win PSL as a captain for Karachi, the same Karachi that had Babar going 1-9 the very next season.

I really hope they don't sack Shaheen without him having the full opportunity of bottling a World Cup like Babar though.

Really, do you think IPL is bigger than the PSL? Can you explain the key points on this?

Finally Sony Sports is telecasting PSL in India, excited for this and will be supporting Peshawar Zalmi, excited to watch PSL after few years with proper streaming.

Edit : My hopes sucks to some extent as fancode will be streaming PSL and it will be live on TV in Sony Sports.

Don't get the point of banning Corbin Bosch for a year. Is it just to showcase that the PCB too can take tough decisions to safeguard their league?

I personally think the ICC can intervene and have a transfer fee. During the now defunct CLT20, the players could choose which franchisee they wanted to play for. for example if Brett Lee chose KKR over Sydney, KKR/Lee was required to pay Sydney a fee of USD 200,000. In this case, I am unsure of Corbin's contract value, however, a 20% fee can be levied as a last minute change option.

This not CLT20, these are different competitions, he has a contract and he should respect that or legal action must be taken against him.

I felt a ban is too harsh. Fine, I understand, but a ban for a 1st time offence? Even the IPL didnt do that until recently.

 

[pillowprocter]

looking at some of the local players on the bench, the PSL definitely needs at least 8 teams

 

[pillowprocter]

two XIs from bench players this round:

Haseebullah Khan
overseas opener
Khawaja Nafay
Tayyab Tahir
overseas batting allrounder
overseas finisher
Mohammad Wasim jnr
overseas spinner
Faisal Akram
Salman Irshad
Ubaid Shah (E)

overseas keeper/opener
overseas opener
Omair bin Yousuf
Haider Ali
overseas batting allrounder
Muhummad Amir Barki (E)
overseas bits and pieces allrounder
Mehran Mumtaz
Zahid Mahmood
Zaman Khan
Mohammad Hasnain

these are both PSL quality XIs imo. mate, i still have enough to make a third XI without too much drop in quality:

Maaz Sadaqat
overseas opener
overseas keeper
overseas batter
Asif Ali
Abdul Samad
Aamer Jamal
Arif Yaqoob
Ubaid Shah
Mohammad Zeeshan (E)
overseas spinner

so the point is, PSL should definitely be 8 teams for the entire talent pool to get a look in, otherwise some players miss out on game time that bridges international cricket with domestic.

 

[pillowprocter]

was just about to post about how pleased i am for Minhas getting an oppurtunity to show he's actually an explosive batting allrounder, but he's just been bowled by Usama

Vince 100 for Karachi & now I can die in peace :')
