~The BCCI placed so many restrictions on the league, such as limit on salary purse and restriction on the number of overseas players. On top of that, there is no incentive to preform, as the promotion-relegation system is not followed in IPL.
The restriction on the number of overseas players should increase to 5 players allowed per team and there might not be having any incentive to perform but there is pressure on getting to a team next time around if they are not performing in a particular season Cheesy.

Punters might adjust quickly if this rule become norm.
It is not that easy, in football if you substitute a player you can understand how it can go but cricket sometimes rely on individual performance. Suppose a team is bowling first and they can fill a team with 5 bowlers and then can substitute with a batsman at a later time and it will make a major difference.

Many people were already discussing about the PSL final above your post and hence they are watching the match.  Cool
I did not not watch it live though but glad to see another tournament got completed and not affected by the pandemic.

It was a low-scoring match, but I enjoyed watching it. Babar Azam once again confirmed that he is miles ahead of the remaining batsmen. The PCB did a great job in resuming the tournament and managing it through the end. Initially,  thought that it would be better in case they abandon the remaining matches and concentrate on the next year's tournament. But in the end, it worked well for them and the TV audience ratings were also good.

Yes, Baber Azam was the difference between the two teams and Karachi deserve this win. However i was little disappointed to see a low scoring match in the finals. The rest three of the qualifiers were thriller and i expected something similar in the finals too.

This is really frustrating. Everyone expects to watch a competitive match in the final. But the match was one-sided. Lahore qalandars  start their match fairly well. Fakhar Zaman and Tamim Iqbal had a good partnership. After Tamim Iqbal was out, no other player could play well against the bowlers of Karachi Kings. Lahore gave a target of only 135 runs. Babar Ajam's devastating batting easily made Karachi the champions.

Not able to recall any game  Roll Eyes. Did they really implemented this in any significant series? If not then you can't blame fans to forget small tweaks. Yeah first class cricket should be breading ground for innovation to avoid backlash or any drawbacks.

I am also unable to recall any major instances. But I remember reading about it (may be in cricinfo). Back then the ICC was desperate to come up with some "innovation". They were in a haste and implemented the measures without proper analysis. Although they discarded the idea after a few months, I had always thought that it can be brought back in to the game, with necessary changes.

Yes of course. Babar Azam such a good performer, having idea how to come mainstream by his batting. He has his own class, style of batting and regular performer. Anyway, It's great to see Karachi winnings PSL, first winning is always special. A big congrats.

I never heard about this "Super-sub" tho so can't comment much.

LOL.. almost everyone seems to have forgotten about that innovation. It was introduced by the ICC sometime in 2005. But the implementation was done with too much haste, without proper planning. They should have first implemented it in the first class cricket and then studied the merits and demerits. In less than one year (2006), ICC was forced to remove the super sub rule. The most vocal criticism was that it gave advantage only to the team which wins the toss.

More innovation in T-20, this time BBL. 3 new rules folks...
X factor looks interesting and it is not a good aspect for gamblers because you never know which player will be substituted who could change a match and mess up our bet  Cheesy.

Is anyone watching the final match of PSL? The final match between Karachi kings and Lahore Qalandars is being held. Lahore won the toss and elected to bat. They have collected only 134 runs in 20 overs. Except for two openers, Tamim Iqbal and Fakhar Zaman, no one was able to play well. I think the champion of PSL will be Karachi kings.

The IPL is played for 13 years and yet they did not identify this problem and that is what surprises me, may be they do not care about the audience outside India and the people in each territory does not bother which player is playing as long as they win or produce exciting cricket Undecided . As an outside fan i would like to see some stability in the team composition.

Indian fans are also tired of this constantly shifting team composition. The BCCI placed so many restrictions on the league, such as limit on salary purse and restriction on the number of overseas players. On top of that, there is no incentive to preform, as the promotion-relegation system is not followed in IPL. In the long term, these limitations can have a negative impact on the revenues.

It is really irritating to adjust with the changing team composition after every season. There needs to be some stability in the squad composition.

I am supporting Lahore Qalandars for today's final but i am not betting on the match.  Tongue

Its good that you are not betting on Lahore team because they are on the losing side till now. They are unable to score a decent total and are struggling near the 100 runs.
Look like the Late Dean Jones team will win this match and the final.

Very poor start from Lahore Qalandars in the PSL final. They only manage to score 99 runs after 16 Overs and lost 5 wickets. If they somehow manage to put 140-150 runs on the scoreboard then this match will be excited otherwise Karachi Kings will win easily as their batting lineup is good.My bet is on Karachi Kings tonight.

PSL final, Pakistan's greatest rivalry set to start just after 1 hour later, between Lahore Qalandars and Karachi Kings!

As we've known that both team are first time finalists, which adds more excitement. My favorite players are playing in both teams, truly can't choose which team i'm going to support. However, My blessings and good wishes to the team of Lahore regardless of how Karachi team are looking better. Anticipating a nail batting challenge.

Yes, both team has many good players and being a neutral person it is difficult for anyone to support one team. However, its easy in my case to support my home team, i.e Lahore Qalandars.

I am supporting Lahore Qalandars for today's final but i am not betting on the match.  Tongue

Really Hardik Pandya is a game changer. He is like a pillar of the middle order. He can help the team in times of need. And he is one of the best finishers. But MI has to remove any one of these 5 players from the team. Rohit Sharma is out of this list. So de Kock, Bumrah, Pollard and Pandya have to select 3 out of these four.  MI  will never want to be released Bumrah from the team. The other 3 are very skilled players. It is very difficult to decide to exclude one of them.
I am expecting them to retain all their stock players including Hardik Pandya, Pollard and Bumrah, the only question is what happens to Trent Boult and Quinton de Kock who were not their first choice players during the auction and they had an impact on the tournament and they cannot let go Trent Boult as he is a game changer as well but then next IPL will be played in India and it might change things.

There's a T20 match held on tomorrow between Pakistan and Zimbabwe.
Head to head Pakistan wins 11 matches, where Zimbabwe didn't get a single chance to win any match.
Pakistani cricket team plays with an average of 155.5 against Zimbabwe, which means they can win the match with a big margin.

More innovation in T-20, this time BBL. 3 new rules folks...

- Power Surge
- X-Factor
- Bash Boost (This one seems bit tricky, in case any team getting a point despite loosing a game lol )


https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/30324344/bbl-2020-21-introducing-bbl-power-surge-x-factor-bash-boost

Apart from X factor, the other innovations are not very interesting. And even this X factor seems to be another attempt to revive the failed proposal of "super-sub". X factor tries to address one of the issues with the super sub rule, as two players can be named as substitutes. So the teams can have one batsmen and one bowler named as substitutes and can replace the players according to the match situation.
Power Surge seems interesting to me. IMO it would force teams to focus more on strategy like, when to take 2nd power play according to their batting order and situation, similarly bowling side would change their strategy as well.
