Bitcointalk PSL T20 Pool and discussion.

[darewaller]

What will be the fate of 2020 edition of PSL's last 3 matches? They were lucky to conduct all the round robin league matches before the outbreak of corona in south Asian countries compared to IPL matches.  I guess they may plan  up for all three remaining matches to happen after corona scare will be settle down but cancelling an entire tournament will be different than postponing only the qualifying matches. I mean availability and form of players will differ from the beginning of this edition to ending. It may become similar to having league matches in one year and qualifying matches in another year.

When availability and form of players changes it will seem like another edition. Not sure managements of PSL will decide what and when.

Yea I was missing you both guys so ban end or what happened because I was expecting this is going to be for 7 days but you back after just four days so they reduced this which is good 

It was about joining an on forum altcoin giveaway. We all mess up and this is a part of life. But I think the situation was confusing too and this is whey theymos decided to lift the ban from all of us who were affected by this. Read here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234779.msg54089385#msg54089385

I was not aware about it but user efialtis was the one who sent me a message in my telegram  and I was like MY MAN! :-D

Super happy to be freed in here :-)

BTW, I was missing both Royse777 and JSRAW. Nice to see you guys back!!!

Thanks bud. I missed you lot too. Last few days were boring AF.

In case the matches did happen, the Lahore would have made 65 -6 and would have shown disappointed performance in the semi finals.



Check the exact scores and who would have won the PSL 2020 How the PSL 2020 final would have played out, had coronavirus not happened

It seems they made the equation very simple LOL
If it was possible to finish everything using pan and paper then the most beneficial people would be the gamblers. Always bet for the team who is strong in pen and paper and win the money. :-P

It sad that they did not think Lahore could be one of the finalist. How why do they think Lahore would made 65 runs? LOL

By the way, you guys must miss JSRAW? Me and him was banned :-P

Since Lahore was unpredictable team and unpredictable teams normally perform bad on the big day, so might be they took that equation when calculating the results. Anyways we would never know who will win unless the match actually takes place.

Good to see them free from ban in 4 days only. Lets hope the whole world lock-down also end up more quickly too.

My whole point is the same as you said - in any sports you can not put an end until the match finish. Lahor is unpredictable but I think they have the strength to win the league too. So underestimate them will not be wise.

We need theymos to run for election :-p

Also find the estimate of loss faced by the PCB by not having the tournament playoffs.

This is not much big considering the number of life's were saved. From a social gathering millions can get infected and die. From this PSL the big achievement for PCB is that the cricket is back in Pakistan.

I think they need to start looking at the positives from it.

If anyone taking this financial lose seriously then they are free to do so but IMO this PSL edition was not about money but statement for cricketing world " Pakistan is safe for cricket"

This was my thought too. Before starting the event they were emphasizing on bringing cricket back in Pakistan now on a sudden talking about financial loss is a bit weird.

However I know Wasim is a very respectful personal in their and he is one of the legand for the world cricket.

Exactly, they shouldn't focus on short term gains much but work on Brand just like IPL, BBL.
 
Small Correction : He's not bowling legend Wasim Akram but Chief executive (i guess) of PCB - Wasim Khan.

Well those who are in authorities, their mission is to earn money for the cricket board and themselves. If you see his full statement (below), there is no sentence of cricket safe for Pakistan. They have forgotten that a few months before no teams wanted to visit Pakistan.   

I was roughly calculating that it could be around the 200-million-rupee mark in terms of gate receipts that we actually lost on our revenue,” Wasim told the publication, adding that the an additional loss of $3-4m will be caused by cancellation of the remainder of Bangladesh’s tour.

Okay, it's a shame for me. I forgot that was Akram :-D I have not clue about this Khan guy by the way.

This PSL is a success for Pakistan cricket. I do not think there will be many teams now will complain to visit there. So Pakistan board needs to embrace it.

Same guy (Wasim Khan) still backing Misbah for coach despite his recent PSL failure, if i am not wrong? And last i read about him he made some changes in domestic cricket, so he can't be that bad for PCB, right?

Okay, it's a shame for me. I forgot that was Akram :-D I have not clue about this Khan guy by the way.

I don't know much about him either.

For both of you, here is a brief introduction of this Khan Guy.

When i said i don't know about him. I meant his brief history and character etc

By posting this introduction You must be picturing us to be a retarded person. hahaha damn you Umer

They should look at the positives. Only 3 matches were cancelled. The remainder saw huge crowd response and the revenues were much higher than what they were anticipating. On top of that, the tournament went nicely, without any safety issues. Dozens of foreign players, including some of the T20 stars took part in the matches. Given these facts, I would say that the PSL 2020 was a grand success.

Ah... Nice to see you both getting unbanned early. Since the ban lift, I see both of you are on a posting spree maybe because of the lockdown

Tbh, this PSL and the two series prior with BAN and SL went on smoothly, so I believe they did a good job at bringing the game back to the country. But money is also a necessary evil.

I think the impact of the PSL is leather than Bangladesh and the other series. Although if I am not wrong then in one of the series they had presidential security.

True and yeah the presidential security was for the Bangladesh T20 series.

I shouldn't say this in current World wide crisis but for me its like X-MAS. I am already workaholic so all good, the only thing i am missing out is my GYM.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will be in a good financial situation only of the BCCI agrees to a bilateral tour. That tour is going to be huge and both the boards may get richer by a few hundred million USD. But the problem here is that BCCI doesn't have any interest in doing this, as they are already in a comfortable financial position. Another issue is that the Pakistani players are not permitted in IPL, which is the richest T20 league in the world.
