ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[redsun114]

I agree PCB has every right to host tourney in Pakistan but at the same BCCI has valid reservations, which we have discussed countless times. Also visiting Pakistan for Asia Cup will set a new precedent that if India can visit for the Asia cup then why not for Bilateral tours?

I would prefer if they host the tournament without India despite taking a hit on revenue. Also evil BCCI never takes a single penny from the Asia cup so it serves them right that no one has a favorable opinion towards BCCI.

I am also feeling now we need to bring changes as well as they already talk countlessly and India is not coming to play cricket in Pakistan then surely they need to go ahead without them even this could be not profitable, but this is good time for checking this all that can they survive without India in Asia or not if this happens in positive way then surely this could be good for the ACC as well because while next time India wants to host Asia Cup then surely they can also go ahead without Pakistan, and we will have end of this all drama which is creating mess up in ACC.

But, if they have not been minding to play without India then surely they need to go ahead at neutral place and stop this all media drama and other bullshit talk which is not favourable for anyone and just having off the field sentiments, hopefully we will have better decision in near future about this all.

Few peoples are feeling they are going to have election in near future and things could be on same way as were before the Najam Sethi, but these all are just rumours because after checking many sources and media reports there is deadlock, and it's not going to end soon, but rumours are doing their job.

No doubt about Ramiz Raja abilities and his revolutionary changes which bring some good life in PCB, but there were also few concerns as well specially as you mention Pakistan Junior League was failure and many in PCB were also not happy with this all which is also not favourable for the Rambo but now look like things are going as this was happening before him and we will have nothing improved in coming days as well even they can lose few foreign players due to this Peshawar Masjid bomb blast as well.

Now PSL season is about to start in Pakistan and Najam sethi has allowed betting company like 1Xbit to sponsor domestic cricket in an islamic country where gambling is banned. Rashid Latif has slammed PCB for doing this - but I think NAjam sethi is a selfish person - he would only think about money and nothing more than that.

The last statement summarizes your attitude. You are calling PCB as beggars.

I wonder if any of the smaller boards (outside the pig-4) have a favorable opinion towards the BCCI. CSA and WICB may enter into deals with them, but even they know that dominance from the BCCI is not good. Here in this case, there are no excuses. Asia Cup was awarded to Pakistan, since they are one of the full members from Asia. So they have every right to host the tournament. The BCCI didn't had a problem when the tournament hosting rights were awarded. Their issue started only a few months back.

@elevates is not making this statement out of thin air tho. Sharriff Junior actually said this recently.

That statement became a huge issue in Pakistan politics and he also got brutally trolled by on social media. Ultimately he had to come out with an answer on why he meant by that statement. You can read this article to improve your GK . I mean @elevates only quoted what he said. What can you then expect from PCB it is still based in Pakistan.

Yes - this statement has gained so much momentum and people showed so much displeasure over it.
But they are so selfish politicians and they only care for themselves and their money. that is one of the reasons people are losing interests in Pakistan and they are moving abroad.

@Sithara007 please do not make it a personal issue. I clearly wrote & quoted what the PM of Pakistan has publically said and which was on every media channel in Pakistan as well as India. Thanks, @pakhitheboss & @JSRAW for the prompt reply.

These are corrupt ,selfish politicians who are playing with the future ok Pakistan,  they don't care for Pakistan reputation and image in the world . When shehbaz sharing said this line he wasn't prime minister but later on they snatched the seat from imran Khan for their personal interests.
This is the reason for Pakistan downfall and instability.

I would prefer if they host the tournament without India despite taking a hit on revenue. Also evil BCCI never takes a single penny from the Asia cup so it serves them right that no one has a favorable opinion towards BCCI.

I am also feeling now we need to bring changes as well as they already talk countlessly and India is not coming to play cricket in Pakistan then surely they need to go ahead without them even this could be not profitable, but this is good time for checking this all that can they survive without India in Asia or not if this happens in positive way then surely this could be good for the ACC as well because while next time India wants to host Asia Cup then surely they can also go ahead without Pakistan, and we will have end of this all drama which is creating mess up in ACC.

Pakistani cricket and economy are both in limbo
They seem so unstable. I am not sure if there is any way Pakistan is going to be stable again - today I was watching in new that Tim Hortons has their highest sale over 61 years in Lahore. Are the people of Pakistan really poor?

Comparing the sale figure of Tim Hortons with that of the Pakistan's present scenario is unfair. Every country have got poor as well as rich people. The rich always enjoy the luxury, even at the bad economic situation the life style won't be disturbed much. This is the reason Tim Hortons have made history, not because of the people who are striving for a day's meal.

However, it is never possible to understand the overall situation of a country by looking at the life style of the elite class people of a country. Tim Hortons is located where the upper class lives, organizations like Tim Hortons operate in those areas. As far as I know Pakistan is currently going through a major financial crisis. It may take some time for this situation to normalize. Poverty is increasing rapidly.

For Pakistan to recover from the ongoing financial problem it takes years. Already Pakistan isn't good with its economy, the pandemic affected them hard. When the slow progress began the floods and debts got accumulated and weakened the economy. Government mismanagement too a major reason for the prevailing situation in Pakistan. Somehow this hasn't affected the sporting activities within the country. Before things go worse initiative need to be taken to safeguard the country's economy.

Pakistan's floods, political situation as well as economy are now in negative shape from all aspects. This was still the case when Imran Khan was in power but not as much as it is now. All the problems became visible with the change of power. Pakistan is trying to get rid of that situation but it is not possible to say when it will be free. Pakistan's economic impact is not visible in cricket, But it will definitely have an impact invisibly.

The situation of Pakistan economy is getting worse with each passing day and no doubt the rich and elite class of Pakistan has no idea about poverty  and crisis as they have all the luxury.  Tim Hortons is example of that as there are two lines people are making these days
1) line of people for food and basic commodities
2) lines outside tim Hortons.
This difference of classes is very threatening.

Right now, just because of cricket talking about any country's other problems are not suitable because we have the worst situation in many countries but due to tough media control we have no all updates about them in Pakistan situation is same but sadly here media is not under control, so we have all negative aspects are coming out and nothing positive happening on media and peoples are surely suffering, but they are also having courage to fight with this all situation which is also good.

Main problem is corruption which is in many Asian and African countries and nothing good happening even I was checking few reports in India Modi government is clearing billions of USD debit and this all was just few families and peoples those are helping to rule party, so we can't talk this all is happening only in Pakistan we have things like these in all countries but right now we are having Pakistan in our radar so no one love to talk about other countries.

If you compare the economic situation in Sri Lanka with that in Pakistan, you will admit that the Lankan are in a much worse situation. But that didn't prevented them from hosting the Lanka Premier League successfully a few months back. With the PCB, they already have an old and established league in the PSL. With the new revenue sharing model that was implemented last year by Rameez, if the tournament is conducted properly then the board can get a lot of revenues in the form of media rights and sponsorship. Flood and inflation will have an impact, but I am sure that they will get through.

The biggest difference between Pakistan & Srilanka in the current situation is that IMF has agreed on a bailout package for Srilanka and not with Pakistan. I would never say that Pakistan cannot organize another season of PSL. I would only say that this is not the right time. The worst is yet to come for Pakistan and you can blame it blatantly on the ruling class for the current situation. Rameez did good to for PCB but with Sethi as chairman, I do not think the revenue generated by PSL will go fairly to the board.

Pakistan may get loans from some of the international agencies, as talks are going on. The case with Sri Lanka was much worse and that country ran out of petrol and diesel, and there were people waiting to fill their vehicles for weeks. Similar to the case with the IPL (which is the major revenue generator for the BCCI), PSL has gradually become a revenue earner for the PCB. Sethi don't need to do anything special. Before his departure, Rameez had already finalized the revenue sharing deal with the franchises and entered in to a very competitive media rights deal with PTV Sports and A Sports. There will be a steady flow of revenue, and Sethi just need to sit back and watch while funds flow in to the PCB accounts.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka have the same problem. But the overall situation of the two parties is not the same. Pakistan is an important country in world politics. And there are many countries that are ready to lend to Pakistan subject to various conditions. But it is difficult for Pakistan to accept the terms. Even then I think eventually Pakistan will be able to raise a smart amount of debt. So there is less chance of going bankrupt very quickly.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka's economy was completely dependent on the tourism sector. Sri Lanka is facing a lot of problems during the Corona Pandemic. And at the same time due to some wrong decisions of the government, the country is in such a bad state today.

First of all, it will be wrong to compare these two countries in the first place. Pakistan's population is more than 10 times higher than that of Sri Lanka, and their diaspora population itself may be larger than the total population of Sri Lanka. The problem with Pakistan is that they are unable to convert their large market to revenues in the cricket domain. Media rights revenues are around 1% of that in India, due to a variety of reasons - regulations on advertisement, content-sharing rules and low cable TV penetration. In these aspects, Sri Lanka ranks higher than Pakistan.

No doubt about few similarities between these two countries Pakistan and Sri Lanka but ground realities are completely different, but we can't discuss here because right now we are just talking about cricket and related things which are more important right now here on this thread instead of going into deep facts about things which are happening in this region and few countries with most chances for me Pakistan will not survive from this situation because they are going badly down even out of the way for having stabilization, but few big countries are still having their interest which are more important and just because of this mostly feeling Pakistan will take time but survive and things could be normal.

Now about this event which is going ahead despite having many problems as @Sithara007 already mention Ramiz Raja already done all paper work and other things related to PSL8 and now Najam Sethi have to sit and watch all things which will be good for them and this event.

[John Abraham]

Oh, Interesting. It seems like there is no discussion about a match between Nepal and Namibia. This match is a part of ICC Cricket World Cup League Two 2019-23. The match was on the home ground of Nepal. The Venue was Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground, Kirtipur. Namibia batted first, scoring 285 in 50 overs by losing all ten wickets. Michael van Lingen scored an impressive 133 runs from 137 balls. Nepal played 47.4 Overs to win the match. Opening batter Kushal Bhurtel scored 115 from 113 balls. They lost eight wickets and scored 287. Congratulations, Team Nepal.

Yes soon Pakistan will stand and will show its power. With the passage of time we will see Pakistan will survive and will be able to handle this condition. But as you said ut will take time but soon everything will be normal.

Ramiz Raja already done all paper work and other things related to PSL8 and now Najam Sethi have to sit and watch all things which will be good for them and this event.

Hope so. Because if this event will be held safely. I think this will be a good reputation point and also good for the international teams. I think so.
