In other news David Warner says he regrets having played in recent matches.
Is he referring to last test series against India, where he was unfit? If not then i don't remember him playing any cricket after that unless he jumped into some Sheffield games.

Big show went crazy against Kiwis today. Poor Neesham end up giving 60 runs in 4 overs.

Hello all, IPL is coming soon so get ready for another pool, we have more than 30 days to discuss and set the entry fees etc. Hope it will get good response again, similar to last year. Feel free to drop your suggestion in the IPL discussion thread.

Once the entry fee is decided then we will be able to take a decision. I missed the opportunity last time because I was short of coins. But for the regulars here, it is a very nice opportunity to get hands on some big $$$. IPL 2020 pool was extremely beneficial for the participants, because almost 80% of the prize money came from the sponsors and only around 20% came from the entry fee.
You can drop your preferable fee suggestion in the IPL thread. If i recall correctly then last time it was around $10-$15 bucks.

I agree, maybe they need more strict rules like if a player does go out and mixes with the public then they could receive a fine or even suspension. I have seen this happen in other sports when players break the rules by going out side the bubbles. They are set up for a reason to help protect the players and the tournament. So I think if they introduce strict rules then it might stop players from going out side the bubble/hub.

The latest news is that two more overseas players have tested positive for the virus. PCB hasn't released the names, but in the statement it also mentions that a few of the supporting staff have also returned positive results for COVID 19. This tournament had such a great start. And after all that, now there are doubts about how the new positive cases will affect the remaining matches.

The last IPL prediction was fun and i am waiting for this years tournament and hopefully my luck continues Cheesy. There are many cricket fans here in the thread and it will be easy to get 20 users.

Once the entry fee is decided then we will be able to take a decision. I missed the opportunity last time because I was short of coins.
If not for @akhjob i would have missed the last years tournament. I hope it will not be a nominal entry fee so that everyone can join.

Maybe they have to monitor the movement of the players and also restrict them. Very often we see players who visit to nay country, go out in the markets for shopping and dinning. In these covid-19 days, such activities should be completely prohibited to avoid any risk of covid-19 infection.

If the players go out for shopping, then what is the point in setting up all these bio-secure bubbles? According to the protocol, the players can't meet anyone outside the bubble as long as the tournament is ongoing. If they disregard this protocol and meet outsiders, then they are not only putting themselves and the teammates in danger, but also causing millions of USD worth of potential damages to the TV broadcasters and the sponsors.

After a missive hit (the last IPL), here we are again!
In the last IPL the prize pot was 0.09525399 BTC which was $1,698.77 at the time when I sent the prize to the winners. BTC is skyrocketing and in today's price  0.09525399 BTC is more or less $4,654! I wish the price was less so that we could have more sats :-D

IPL 2021 has been scheduled from 11 April 2021 which means we have 5 weeks in hand and in this five weeks we will need to find participants, sponsors and finalize everything before I unlock the main thread. But first we need to find a fair entry prize and need to see how many users are interested to join the pool. I will keep this topic open for a week. Let's promote this topic in different topic (cricket related).

It will be easier for me to talk to the sponsors when there will be many interested users to join the pool. So I would request the regulars to give little efforts to help us to manage at least 20 participants.

This also raises a lot questions about the continuity of the tournament at the risk of players health.
Looks like they have everything under control as only one player was tested positive and the rest of the players are negative and even though they postponed the match i do expect that the series to continue and i am still puzzled with the way how only one player tested positive when they are placed in a safe bubble as per the standards followed by the teams in general.

The match has been delayed for a day but if fawad has covid-19, its means other players are at risk too. Let hope this does not effect the whole PSL  Huh
Are these players in a bubble and how come someone could get infected in the middle of a tournament, it is really unfortunate if it spreads to the entire team and if that is the situation they will be forced to move the tournament at a later date. Not sure how the PCB is trying to sort the issue, they might make the bubble even stricter to avoid these situation which could hurt them financially.

The players are not taking the precautions seriously. PCB did it's best to set up the bio-secure bubbles, but what they can do if the players don't heed to their advice and roam around? Two weeks ago it was found that Wahab Riaz and Darren Sammy of Peshawar Zalmi had met someone outside the bubble. PCB asked these two to go for a three-day quarantine. But Wahab refused to undergo quarantine and he was included in the next match for Zalmi.

Maybe this is the scenario with IPL too. The IPL auctions were almost over and the ground selections were under progress. Matches without audience seems to be worse, and might be the same situation as PSL. In certain regions of India there is rise in the covid-19 cases. So ground selection is much concerned. Watching in TV too boring with the edited claps and cheering of audience.
It do accept that the matches are not that great with fake cheering as they are doing those audio in a loop irrespective of the situation  Grin. The last IPL was conducted successfully without any hiccups and hope they can conduct this one the same way. Not sure how a player in the PSL got positive during a tournament and whether there was a lapse in the environment they created to protect the players.

Will this mean that the remaining tournament may be postponed ? Did they find the root cause as how this player caught the corona virus when all the players were tested negative for covid.

Last time also when the tournament was progressing really well the final few matches had to be postponed due to the pandemic restrictions. And this time it is going to be worse if the players test positive. Because the tournament has just started. Both the PCB and the TV broadcasters will face huge losses if this spiral out of control. That said, a thorough investigation needs to be done on how Fawad got the virus. He was in the biosecure bubble for more than three weeks. It is impossible to catch the virus, if he was following the necessary safety protocols.

When the series started 150 to 160 was the average score and now in the past few matches i was following the scores were well above 180 to 190 runs and anyone chasing the score was able to win. I made a couple of small bets and till now it was successful and the odds you get are pretty good if you are placing the bet well before the second innings starts Grin.

I have also noticed this. Also, there is another startling statistic. Out of the 11 completed matches in PSL so far, all 11 have been won by the team batting second. I am not saying that toss alone is deciding the winner, but in no other tournament I have witnessed such an one sided statistic. The team which bats first have failed every time, and that happened yesterday as well with Karachi Kings.

When Lahore Qalandars started the innings, there were 2 down with no runs on the board. It look like that Lahore Qalandars will lose the match but due to some excellent batting by Fakhar Zaman (83 runs) kept them in the game. In the end David Wiese 31 runs in only 9 runs converted the match in the favor of Lahore.  Smiley

Karachi managed to make 186 runs which is quite good. This match is evenly poised but Lahore Qalandars has end the first innings on a high note and high confidence. The energy from the Lahore Qalandars bowlers is devastating however there was some lose fielding from them.

Taking into account the results from previous matches, 187 is not a big target. But we can't forget the fact that at one point Karachi were struggling at 37/3 after 5 overs (Babar Azam was the first wicket to fall). They managed 149 runs from the next 15 overs, which is impressive. Both Mohammad Nabi and Sharjeel Khan scored runs at a good pace. Now Lahore is in a difficult position and two of their important batsmen are out. Advantage seems to be with Karachi.
