My contact on telegram has still replied as of a few days ago saying he'll speed up the process of getting the budget sent but.. It's getting to that point where I can no longer recommend anyone to play at Rolletto if they struggle to pay this $1200 invoice. I'll give him one final bump on telegram and if nothing comes of it before Monday ends I'll also launch a thread in Scam Accusations I suppose, unfortunately.

Muhammad Asif was an individual case and he was bound to be punished when caught. However, I have heard that IPL match fixing is being done at the macro level and IPL management is involved in it too. Once the results of all the matches and the winner of each season of IPL is decided beforehand, you can imagine how much big money BCCI can make and they can also give a lot of money to the players too. That's another reason that we may never get any solid evidence or even if there is evidence, it can be forced to remain hidden with a lot of money.

Sorry to say but a full decent brain knows that IPL IS FIXED.

Note: Again i am also against the pakistani players like Muhammad Asif and others who were involved in match fixing in the past and i won't close my eyes only because they were from Pakistan.

Good point it's not important you have ex cricketer as President then you can do some better you need some better structure and domestic set up as well for this we have many great examples around the globe where non players done great jobs and have historic results it's all about team and management with some desire for your profession and country we are watching Bangladesh for last two decades, and they completely fail to have some better structure and environment for this game even they have roots of cricket in this region for many decades like before independence Pakistan have few matches here as well and there were some good players and facilities were available but recently corruption and attitude completely change things, and now they are going down in quality and passion very badly which is big concern for them.

A few players from Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have participated in the Afghan domestic T20 competition (Shpageeza Cricket League). And this is the closest Afghanistan has come to attracting foreign players to it's soil. But after the 2017 season, hardly any foreign player participated in this league. And given the current situation, I don't think that it will be possible for the next one decade at least. Afghanistan was emerging as a very strong team, but now their future looks very uncertain.

What's up buddies?
Anyone placing bets on BPL matches? I was a bit busy but planning to try out now with BPL. Which bookies have some good odds and more options (in match) for BPL? Do you guys know any? I haven’t checked out yet though.

Teams like Kenya and Zimbabwe were a force to reckon with. And now I don't even hear the name of Kenya & Zimbabwe doesn't have its own cricket board.

Things have changed rather quickly. These two countries and especially Zimbabwe produced a lot of great players in the past. But now it's all gone and those who are still playing at a good level are facing a lot of problems. Like Brendan Taylor who is banned now.

Unfortunately, ICC doesn't like to even think about these problems and is more interested in making money. I think that if this continues it's not long before cricket will lose most of its interest and also people will not be interested to play or see this game anymore.

All the T20 leagues except the Indian Premier League lack certain qualities in my opinion. You know like the teams that are in IPL are just too good. Another thing is the pitches are also made for the batters mostly so people can enjoy action-packed cricket.

The marketing of IPL is on another level. I know every league is popular but no league even comes close to IPL I think.

ICC can't do anything in any country for development because they have no sources or any better idea for this all from day 1 they never do anything it's all happening by mostly boards own sources and some addiction recently we have some good talk about Big 3 and other weak boards why because these Big 3 widening this gape instead of giving some better and fair system every one want to have more power and finances, so this is killing now we are on verge of losing few countries like West Indies and Zimbabwe due to poor system and lack of facilities so now all ICC and cricket is moving around IPL and Big 3 so just keep going and enjoy this all because they have big fan base and most entertaining league around the world.

Maybe in winter olympic sports there is not so huge gap between such athletes, but during summer olympics there was a case during weightlifting.
Transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard was the first athlete to participate. You think this is fair? He/she did not won a gold medal, but he/she is having worlds gold medals. They are ordinary people, but their strength is different. In gym, I never saw women lifting same weight as men. If a transgender participates in biathlon, dont you think he might have slightly more stamina?

It is foolish to compare IPL with other leagues. However, PSL is not yet popular enough. IPL is enjoyed by people all over the world. At the same time if we consider BPL then it is also quite popular in their own country. But PSL is not very popular compared to them. This is why the board of Pakistan wants to popularize it first. They want viewers to watch it for free. As popularity grows, the board will decide to discontinue telecasts from the free platform.

Now I want to clear one thing it's not all about players and boards it's all about just political because recently we have few things which never happen before and these are showing true face of few countries and their policies like recently England Cricket Board cancel Pakistan's tour due to security reasons and now 22 English players are in PSL, and we have few from Australia and South Africa as well they have no security issues or any fear about anything even few members here pointing out that bomb blast happen in Lahore its big issue, but it's nothing any serious because security agencies already doing their duty, and now they are capturing all culprits those doing these tricks for many years.

Now what happen in New Zealand it's completely different story and now their media is also never want to hint out about this because they know it's wrong face of their country and all want to hit out at Pakistan because here system is regrouping, and they are improving things for better future.

I absolutely agree because the fan base that IPL has is just absolutely unbelievable. I actually think every Indian people follow the IPL very closely. And obviously, the foreign players that play in the IPL are some of the best in the world.

So, watching the greats of the game in action alongside each other is a different experience altogether. And these are the reasons why IPL generates so good revenues.

This is fair statement their terms and conditions only for few boards because recently after some good influence from India now they are falling down very badly in these things and doing things just for money and own sack with the help of few boards because they are also having their own way. After India Australia is another most cheat country because they have done many shameful things in this game and never feel shame for their bad things even we all know about this.

If they want to improve quality and adoption then surely they need some fair policies for all boards and have measurements as well fair enough after Australians now Indians players attitude is also not acceptable because they are going beyond the limits.

This looks like PSL is gaining more popularity. It is quite surprised to see PSL YouTube channel having such a good number of subscribers. Pakistan is a good team, and if the country hasn't got any security issues the team could've made themselves even stronger than now. Also PSL might've gained even more popularity. Always the rivalry between India and Pakistan is kept active through some means.

I feel there’s two sides here first of all when people accuse ICC of not taking action can they produce conclusive proof of rigging in IPL short answer no, can they speculate matches were rigged yes, but without proof ICC cannot do anything.

Lastly had ICC allowed Brendon to walk away people would have been livid saying ICC is weak, and doesn’t care about matches being fixed hence we see whatever action ICC takes it’s always going to get lots of criticism for it.

Never mind, I know these questions are not going to be answered by the people it should be. Yes, the bomb blast is a very serious thing and probably for now any other team should be cautious of tours in Pakistan. But we didn't seem to remember that, when the New Zealand Christchurch incident happened.

It is ridiculous to post such baseless allegations. No one has accused Ashwin of chucking so far in his one and half decades of career, and I am not sure from where the OP got this idea. Ashwin has played in almost all the SENA nations, and I have never heard about anyone there complaining about his bowling action. And nowadays with technological advancement such as superslow video recording, it is almost impossible to get away with chucking. And the ICC has also formulated very strict laws against it.
