Overlapping international schedule with the BBL is not new trend for Australia. They are playing Boxing day test match or series continuously since 80s and BBL comes during the summer so its obvious both events clashes with each other every time so nothing related to Indian tour.
If I am not wrong, this time the broadcasters are not happy with the scheduling and they are suing CA. At this point, it was a bad decision from the part of the board to schedule the Indian tour exactly overlapping the BBL. Actually the BBL started well with the domestic Australian audience, with more than 700,000 viewers for the initial matches. But it declined later, as the national team started its matches against India. The viewership for BBL in India is also down by a lot, for obvious reasons.
PSL 2021 schedule is announced and it will start from 20 Feb 2021. Defending champions Karachi Kings could only enjoy the title for few months as we will have a new winner in March 2021. Since covid-19 situation is still not over in most parts of the world, the matches will only be played in Lahore and Karachi and the small cities will not get any matches this time around.
@Royse, any plan for starting the pool for the PSL 2021 Edition ?
Warner has already made it clear that he is not interested in the BBL. But the audience ratings and viewership figures are really low, since the national team is also playing at the same time. It wasn't an easy decision for Cricket Australia to schedule the Indian tour, but in that case they could have postponed the BBL by a month or two. Current scenario hurts the brand value of the BBL.
The problem is not with the BBL. The issue arises when Cricket Australia schedules the Indian tour in such a way, that it overlaps with the BBL schedule. This means less revenue for the broadcasters, and the unavailability of national players for franchise duty. When the TV channels pay such huge amounts for the media rights, they expect better support and understanding from Cricket Australia.
Is the schedule really creating revenue issues for the broadcasters, i understand the reason they scheduled the Indian tour and the only reason is to generate the revenue that is lost due to the pandemic and the format of matches they are playing is different and the only players that will be missing is Smith and Warner along with the bowlers.

This is nothing new in BBL because if you able to check previous dates mostly they started in these days just because of this all BBL is one off longest leagues in cricket because they have mostly revenue from media coverage they are not going in big loses but they need to do some better in marketing for this all because now they are going to face some more challenges in future.

The BBL is not making much of a hype outside Australia. The Cricket Australia needs to take the blame, as they scheduled the Indian tour overlapping with the BBL schedule. Who is going to watch club cricket, when the national team is playing? Obviously this might have resulted in huge losses for the broadcasters. And if I am not wrong, Channel Seven has already taken Cricket Australia to the court over this.

Khawaja,Hales & Ferguson makes a good start for Sydney Thunder and put 219 in first innings.
Melbourne now need 220 runs to chase. They need a solid start in order to win this match.

The first match was also quite exciting. Melbourne Renegades made 168/6 (thanks to Shaun Marsh and Aaron Finch) and Sydney Sixers need another 26 runs in 15 balls for a win. Sixers started well with Josh Philippe and Jack Edwards putting up a 50 plus opening stand, but then they lost quick wickets. Jordan Silk is still out there with unbeaten 31, along with Jason Holder.
@vishnu.Reang in the end Sydney Thunder comfortably won the match, and I felt that Melbourne Stars crumbled under the pressure while chasing such a huge total posted by Sydney Thunder. Also it’s pertinent to note that lots of credit goes to Chris Green for picking 4 wickets, and the fall of those wickets too increased the pressure on Melbourne Stars, which resulted in their defeat.

A team which has unlimited amount of money can purchase those top 24 players which is available and it can be a strategical ploy and if they can dominate the game it can be a advertising strategy as well as all these team investors are business personalities if i am not mistaken and they do not need to spend much money for other media advertisement if they can dominate the tournament every time.
I am just speculating and i have no idea why these cap to the players.

Purchasing all the top players can never be realized, as it will end up triggering a bidding war. It is going to be one franchise against the other seven (soon it will be nine). At the most, a particular team may end up with 1/4th or 1/5th of the top players and I don't think that it should give any lop-sided advantage to that franchise. EPL teams follow the same strategy and it hasn't impacted the competitiveness among various clubs.
Adelaide Strikers won by 71 runs.Consecutive wins for the Strikers . Thoroughly professional performance from their bowlers here.
A great match on behalf of the Adelaide Strikers. P. Salt made 51 off 31 balls. Great an innings. The most interesting thing in this match is, all the bowlers in Adelaide took 2 wickets each.

A team can purchase only a limited number of players (around 24 if I am not wrong), so the argument is not right. Even if a team such as Mumbai Indians pour a lot of money to purchase the top 24 players (which is very unlikely), there are enough quality players left for the other teams. But I agree that the shuffling of players must stop. It is confusing for the fans to see the top players changing the franchises every year.

Adelaide Strikers are in very good form and right now they are topping the BBL points table with 13 points. They are among the strongest teams in the tournament with players such as Phil Salt, Alex Carey, Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle. Today the turning point came when Rashid Khan added some valuable runs during the final overs, when he scored 29 runs from 13 balls. None of the Perth bowlers could contain the batsmen, with the exception of Mitchell Marsh.

The only reason i can think to have a cap on player salaries is to avoid a team having a monopoly who have unlimited resources to purchase any player and if that happens the competition level dips and it can affect the entire IPL brand.
The only change i would like to see is to stop shuffling the players every year. They can have player transfers and these bidding should happen every 2 or 3 years so that they can build a fan following outside India.

Why can't they remove the budget cap? Why should the BCCI put a cap on player salaries? Obviously there is an argument that if the salary cap is not there, then weaker franchises would struggle to retain their players. But that goes against the spirit of free choice. If a franchise can't afford good players, then they should not be participating in the IPL, period. In the end, players are going to benefit in the form of increased salaries.
