Cricket match prediction discussions

Sri Lanka getting flopped out of such a try is due to the lack of sponsorship in my view. Maybe a good sponsor same as that of IPL will make SLPL a success one. These days leagues played within the country is creating more good players. Also more countries are getting into the cricket game, which means the competence is getting hard for the future.

It is a small market like Zimbabwe and West Indies. Don't expect the hundreds of millions that the boards like England and Australia would get from such deals. And SLPL is never going to succeed. There is no cricketing structure outside Colombo. And if they restrict SLPL to Colombo, then it will be just like club cricket and no international player will be interested.  

Agreed, but if the team is quite potential it could've gained more support. If the previous set of players Jaysurya, Muralidharan, and seniors try they can make good progress in the play of the youngsters playing for the country. In cricketing right now Australia, India and England seems to have upper hands.

Cricket in India grew by leaps and bounds ever since the IPL was introduced. Same with Australia after the BBL. Even domestic cricketers could earn salaries in excess of half a million USD, and this ensured a very large player pool in these two countries. England already had such a large pool, in the form of the 18 county teams (17 in England and Glamorgan from Wales).

Hopefully this change in the domestic structure will help find and bring some good players in the Pakistani team.

Yes, this could get more good players to Pakistan team. Most of the time mistakes that were pointed against Pakistan cricket players is, they don't hear the words of the senior players. This went into controversy during the world cup match as well, and how the domestic cricket is taken forward will be watched by the leading cricketing teams.

If Pakistan is able to get good players up by changing their domestic cricket structure, that would be great. If your structure is good like the Australian and England cricket teams, you will automatically get the good players leading the team and there will be no favoritism or politics within the team.

But this is going to take some very long time for Pakistan as right now favoritism and politics is on his high in recent days we have many nominations on favoritism and no one merit so its not easy way for Pakistan to achieve level like Australia and England here personal likes and dislikes damaging too much for very long time.

If you want to improve the domestic structure, then the PSL should be played in Pakistan and not in the United Arab Emirates. T20 leagues have been the money making machines for all the cricket boards and yet the PCB receives very little revenue from the PSL due to its inability to host the matches in Pakistan. Until the PCB is financially stable, you can't expect the domestic structure to improve.

And from what I have heard, the first-class cricketers in Pakistan are mostly amateurs, who work part time. Greater revenues will help turning these players to professionals, who don't need to worry about their regular jobs (as in the case of India, Australia, England, South Africa and even in countries such as New Zealand and West Indies).

Legend Abdul Qadir will be remembered for a long long time !!! He is no longer with us.  
I wonder if any one of you are from that time when he used to play. He had a unique bowling action.

This will probably lead to a bigger problem since the Indian team don't tour Pakistan anymore and I doubt they ever will at any point in the future. The scrapping of Article 370 is the primary factor here.

India is not touring Pakistan because of political tensions between the two countries but for the past few years non of the teams are daring to visit Pakistan after the terrorist attacks against the Srilankan players and after that no team is coming forward to play Pakistan in their home soil in world cricket and so is the reason they have taken UAE as their second ground. I do not know what article you are talking about.

Once after the attack that took place when Sri Lankan team was touring Pakistan most of the countries had fear in mind touring a series within Pakistan. For this reason even Pakistan organised different tournaments outside the country. Mostly in UAE and other neighboring countries. The article 370 is now the primary factor, but the political tension between the country is there before years.

I guess we'll not get to see even a single match of this series in Pakistan:

Sri Lanka Cricket to reassess security in Pakistan after terror threat

Yes you are right and I believe if Sri Lankan not coming then PCB need to work on PSL more instead of bringing International teams as we still need some more time for solving this all Indian factor is also very big and they have some good and powerful influence in many boards so wait and watch is good instead of bringing teams without stars.

The government is unable to prevent the terrorist attacks (unlike the case with India) and therefore I am not very surprised. Two years back, a single deadly attack in Parachinar resulted in the deaths of over 200 people. Recently, the 13 July 2018 bombings killed over 150 people in Balochistan. Cities such as Peshawar are under constant threat of terrorist attacks. We need to remember that the Sri Lankan cricket team was attacked the last time they visited Pakistan and a few of the players were injured. So we can't really blame them.

I would like the home matches for Pakistan to be staged in the United Arab Emirates for some more time, until the security situation in Pakistan gets better. Before staging the international matches, it may be better for them to stage the PSL there. If the entire tournament (rather than a couple of games) can be held in Pakistan without any incidents, then the international sides will be confident enough to visit the country and spend some time to play bilateral or trilateral series.

This year there was a major attack against the military in India and it was a headline here in the media, so when it comes to terrorist activities both these countries are not safe, if the military is not safe how come a civilian be safe. The difference i see is that in Pakistan the cricket team was a target and all the terrorist want is to create news headlines and if there is an intelligence warning there is no point in taking a risk as these hooligans can strike any time.

This is the best decision overall and I applaud Malinga for helping make this decision. The Pakistan government have been advised multiple times by countries from around the world to minimize these terrorist issues, but I still don't see much of a difference.

Unless their government itself does something about this, teams will always have issues with touring Pakistan.

I don't feel any terror threat now in Pakistan its simply Black Mailing of Indian Cricket Board and they are using power to threat players as they have some good and attractive financial packages for them in IPL and its working I personally feel PCB need to work on PSL instead of bringing International teams this way could be work better for them in future.

India always play political games, but this doesn't look to be game by Indian Cricket Board. PSL won't get to be success, because their is much lack in financial support as well there is none to take forward the event. After a long they've taken step to have a tournament in the home ground. This is being stopped for the moment for some reason. Possibly this will be shifted to some nearby country.

The Pakistan leader is a legendary player who took the team to the 1992 world cup and won the tournament and he will do anything in his power to bring cricket back to the country, but if there is serious threat from terrorist factions first they have to weed out every terror organisation in their country. If the series is changed they will be moved to UAE which is Pakistan's neutral ground for a long time.

The difference is that in India, the attacks have never occurred outside the troubled Kashmir valley since 2014. There have been no terrorist incidents in the major urban areas such as Delhi and Mumbai (which were targeted frequently during the first decade of this millenium). On the other hand, metro cities such as Peshawar, Rawalpindi and Karachi are frequently targeted in Pakistan.

It is a chain reaction. Terrorist attacks will discourage teams from visiting Pakistan. The PCB will lose valuable revenue and in the end the players are going to suffer. Those who are talented enough will try to participate in the dozens of T20 leagues that have come up all around the globe. But the unlucky ones will be pushed in to poverty and destitution.

This is big problem for Pakistan as Intelligence Agencies and Security Department completely fail to stop these type attacks as they have many insiders also those who helping attackers and Government of Pakistan doing some very strict things but until now they have no good and positive response about this as Pakistan's neighbors also never been want this country become stable so facing too many problems but we are still very hopeful and positive for good time in near future.
