Title: Pakistan Super League (PSL)
Post by: Cover_Drive on February 04, 2016, 04:26:08 AM
Since it starts tomorrow - anyone looking forward to it?

Seems like this tournament will benefit Pakistani cricket and players in particular.

Do you think they have done enough marketing for non pakistani audience other than in Pakistan ? Supporting Islamabad heared they have Watson in their lineup,  my favourite playa  :)

Thought cricket could do with another T20 tournament. No doubt will be played in front of empty stadiums.
Few english boys in this one: billings, KP, bopara, wright and vince

Apparently it's streamed on youtube

Not one batsmen going at 100 plus strike rate and Watson. Who looked in debasing form for aus got 15 of 27


Either really really good bowling or not very batsmen friendly conditions.



Anywhere to watch this in the U.K.?

What channel can't find it anywhere on my sky?

I'll answer myself. No one else will.


U.K. Sky. It's on ptv, part of the international section. Channel 792


Chase 62 for 1 wright and Pieterson at the crease. So maybe good bowling.

Painfully boring cricket in the PSL so far...not sure if it has to do with the pitches or the quality of players.

Low scores I think - they are not entertaining, quality of players is not very bad.

Pitches are on slower side which I believe could be due to the fact that they are used by MCL so more the use pitch has, slower it becomes.

Ian Healy isn't too far from that lot!

Morgan confirms that the door is firmly shut on KP. Such a shame because he's in some form! First ball down the wicket and flicked for 4.

Wow, for once I see him in form (I'm sorry but I am extremely cynical of him especially how he had a prolonged career for England)

Considering his bowling pace, I think ICC would want him to take some steroids to increase his pace. :P

Here are his bowling highlights;
