Cricket match prediction discussions

[SaShiRaJaVu]

What you guys think of the contribution of cricket from India. Now went through the cricket live and saw more cricket matches scheduled for USA, Canada, and few other countries. Going through the players name found most of the players having the names with Indian origin. Not only this, but Kuwait, UAE and few other countries too have large number of Indian players.

If players are migrating to other countries just to play cricket because of the competition in India you could say that it is a contribution to world cricket because they have immense talent pool and hence majority are migrating, but most of these players have migrated for a better living and they started playing for clubs and because of their performance got selected into the national team and i am not sure you can call it a contribution  .

Did the terrorists dial type the wrong number e-mail?

PCB gets email about potential terror threat to Indian cricket team

These kinds of warnings usually pan out to be bullshit and nothing more. Legit groups never warn anyone and focus on keeping everything a secret and only announce what they have done after the attack itself.

Already some political issue is happening between the country on the state of Jammu and Kashmir. With the recent political play from India there is some pressure felt between the both. Now someone tries to make use of this as an opportunity to invade. This can be of some terrorist group or can be a planned move from Pakistan. Anyhow this is gonna get Indian cricketers more security.

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.

Pakistan and Indian both had been an interesting match since start and they made allot of tournaments but both always remain at cross they can never play in a friendly environment both had challenging matches but most of the time Pakistan has beaten India with high score as Pakistani team is stronger because of sarfaraz Ahmad.

Isn't 20 million population is not enough to find only 11 players for the team ?  These are mere excuses. If the cricket board is responsible and players are given good incentives and chosen on merit, I feel no issue why a good team can't be developed.

Also I see that in neighboring countries of srilanka they have T20 domestic series like  IPL, PSL , BPL  and I never knew why srilanka can't start such tournament ? it will help them find new talent and also generate good revenue too.

20 million looks minuscule when compared to 1,350 million for India, 200 million for Pakistan and 165 million for Bangladesh. Their population is even lower than that of Afghanistan and Nepal. Also, domestic cricket is concentrated in and around Colombo, where the population is only a few millions. And if you remember, they tried the SLPL a few years ago. It flopped and was never tried again.

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.

If a country needs a good talent pool they need to make some effort in grooming the players at a very young age and if any country is finding it hard to find a good replacement is because of their lack of vision of their sports body, major sponsorship might help young aspects to get attracted in cricket as it will be a viable option to make a career, cricket is a popular sport in Srilanka and all you need to have is a good selection process from the junior level.

As I watching cricket for some long time I checked Sri Lankan biggest problem is Cricket Board they have never been good and prospective as they need many corruption cases and some political issues every time facing by them if they want to do they must start from very low and bring talented guys and then give them some good training this can help them its long term and need some strong administrative like Indian cricket board and Bangladesh board is also doing good work for bringing new talent.

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:

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.
