Just 3 matches and they can do this all any time in these months without any problem but happy we have some good news about this all in this lock down.

I don't think it would be that easy to schedule these 3 matches anytime. They need to align with the foreign players who are part of these three matches if they are free at that time and also they have to see which other tournaments are planned by the ICC at the particular time so that there is no conflict of interest for the players.

I don't know how viable December will be. The Big Bash League (BBL) will start by then, and players such as Haris Rauf and Ben Dunk may prefer that league rather than the PSL. Also, the MSL of South Africa will be played during November-December. But still, they need just one week and my gut feeling is that PCB will be able to pull it off.

I would say the PCB are the most realistic sport organizers around these days, looking at window of November - December to hosts just 3 cricket fixtures, meanwhile their football counter with much more cases of the pandemic keep thinking of a month or two window. It's not that bad to be optimistic, but ignoring the glaring reality is just terrible.

If these were some domestic club cricket with local player then it was not a big deal but when it involves international players then yes it's not very easy. By the way, although no one knows which way we are moving (pandemic crisis) but November and December seems very reasonable time frame. I hope by then we will have normal lifestyle.

I doubt we can ever come back to normal life style again. The virus will be gone by that time but precautions will become a mandatory part of our life. Some of the major changes will be that people will never shake hands and social distancing will be practiced and will be considered a good habit. Another major thought will be that people can work form home (as it would have been tested successful for 2- 3 months) and hence a lot of costs could be save for office rents and travel to office costs etc. The world will be different before and after covid-19.

This is just frustration which is coming because of lock down because surely we will be again normal and live as we was living for centuries in human history many things happen and then again this all become normal so please just be calm about this all and about PSL now its easy for PCB because if forieng players not available then its not a issue as we can do this all without them because completing this even is priority not bringing foriegn players for authorties.

It wouldn't be interesting to play the playoffs without the foreign players.
They should be the part of the teams.

At the moment till a cure is out we do need to maintain social distancing and stay indoors. After the lockdown is over and incase there is no cure we can only keep ourself safe by following the same set of rules.

I think it is just a matter of time that a vaccine comes out in the market against his virus. Various countries are working on it and by the end of this year we should be hearing good news against this virus.

Too early to say that. Even now, the number of cases and deaths are increasing with every passing day. I am getting more and more skeptical as time passes by. Some of the experts were claiming that the pandemic would slow down when the summer season starts. In the Northern hemisphere, the summer season has started, but the infection continues to spread.

Not much thought about shaking hands and social distance practicing but working from home will be a good options for some startups. They can reduce the expenses but still there are needs of office, team meeting and a lot of other things that can not be done from home. Co-ordination gets hard.

Summer will slow down the virus spread and stuffs has no scientific reference. There are too many rumors surrounding this pandemic and in the social media every single person thinks that they have something to say and they are always right. Let's just hope that we invent the vaccine ASAP.

Well.. I think I had already posted about this. Dozens of different pharmaceutical companies are working on the Coronavirus vaccine. Even here in India, 6 different pharma companies are trying to invent one. But the problem is that all of them are in development and the testing phase hasn't started yet. Testing and approval can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months.

My advice is this - don't even think that a vaccine will be available anytime soon. Think about other methods to stop this pandemic.

Even in the movie Contagion where they hyped everything too much, they needed 6+ months to find the vaccine LOL

Anyway, what I learned is that, this process of finding vaccine and making them available in the market is a long run process and it can take 10 to 12 months.

Any, cricket update around?

I was thinking about the same that in the last few posts we are discussing about the coronavirus in the PSL discussion thread.
Nothing new found in PSL. 

"If the PCB doesn't close the PSL 5 and tries to organise the remaining four or five matches including the final later this year or before the PSL 6 it will dent the hype and spoil the momentum of the next edition."

Just wondering how can this spoil the momentum of PSL 2021 ?

[Vishnu.Reang]

Just wondering how can this spoil the momentum of PSL 2021 ?

The same argument came up in the IPL discussion thread as well.

Here is my logic - if the PCB conduct the remaining 3-4 matches during the end of this year, then it can have a negative impact on next year's edition. The viewers need a break of at least 10-12 months. Else the tournament may look repetitive for them. It will be better for the PCB to call off these matches, to avoid this repetitiveness.

Today I was watching one sports channel and PCB representative was very serious about this they want to complete this in next few months even they can still do some things but he was not going with any option other then completion of this event in next few months  most chances before Twenty/20 world cup.

Why do we need a break of 10 - 12 months after playing just 3 matches ?  This logic is just illogical

No, nothing will happen with this seriousness or eagerness to conduct the remaining matches.  Until the virus is completely locked down, only then the matches can be held.

In Australia and Germany we have some good news as they are doing hard work for preparing few events because they feel in next few weeks they will able to handle this all first event in Bundesliga which is going to start in May and in Australia they are also preparing for cricket matches as board feel its ok without crowd.

[Vishnu.Reang]

The question can be modified, to something like this: "Would you like to have another edition of the PSL, 3-4 months after the finals and semi-finals of the previous edition?"

It's not about the number of matches. A lot of hype will be generated, as these are the most important matches in the tournament. And after so much hype it will be very difficult to redo all that in just a few months.
