Quality of cricket better than BBL or CPL? What you drinking? Quality is awful. Someone like Kamran Akmal looked a world beater when he a proven flop at international level

Someone with 6 test tons and 5 ODI tons is a flop batting lower down the order.
Kamran Akmal has been in top form for the past 2 years in domestic and he is on the verge of a recall in Pakistan team. And yes its the same PSL where likes of Gayle,  Pieterson and few other big names who struggled to get runs last year and so far this year too.

Tbf it's probably on par with the blast as that has some horrendous players in it. Bbl has had some ransoms too mind.

Any of these 5 teams in the PSL would beat any of the teams in the Blast.

@shax12 dud league where two of the sides have basically just copied the jerseys of two IPL sides...

We stopped willy waving in here yet??

@shax12 dud league where two of the sides have basically just copied the jerseys of two IPL sides...

So because 2 of the kits are similar to IPL team kits this league is a dud and below the blast and other leagues.
PSL won't reach the IPL level but certainly ahead of the likes of blast, BB and other domestic T20 leagues. That's why the likes of these big names are playing in it instead of Blast and other leagues. Quality of cricket it better then Blast, BBL and other leagues. No league can reach IPL level.

And as mentioned before any of these PSL team could win it which makes it competitive and any of yes 5 teams could beat any other domestic T20 team except IPL teams.

Apparently not.

@shax12 equally any of them could be done for corruption
Just throw that one in there

@shax12 I don't see what is achieved by comparing the PSL to the Blast. One is a franchise based league, whereas the other is a county based league. Naturally there's no comparison.

Yes IPL and PSL have corruption as they are bigger leagues then the rest and more money is involved in those leagues then the rest. Other countries can only dream of being as big as IPL and even PSL which is only in its second year.

You called the quality of cricket rubbish so had to tell you how the quality is better then the rest especially the Blast. Not PSL fault the ECB can't organise a franchise style T20.

@shax12 if you say so 😘

@shax12 how can you say the standard is poor in the blast?
I've been at Sussex matches where I have seen
1. Chris Gayles stumps DEMOLISHED by Tymal mills
2. A 40 ball 100 by David willey
3. A 37 ball 100 by Scott styris (including an over that went for 38)
4. Many of the worlds best players playing in our little "inferior competition"

Shows the standards when likes of Willey are getting hundreds 
While in the PSL, KP who was making rums for fun on the BB is struggling to get runs in the PSL.
And the inferior Blast been around for donkey years but PSL only in its 2nd year is ahead. World's best players are more in PSL.
ECB need to revamp their domestic T20 competition.

Can't believe anyone's arguing that the blast is up there with any franchise competition. Blast has 18 teams which dilutes talent, far more fillers in each side and hardly any international stars (e.g. AbD) given it's played over months. It also overlaps the CPL now, so all the international players disappear off.

But hey it's an English product so must be the best

I'd say the biggest difference in runs being scored by KP is the decks played on. BBL and RamSlam lovely flat ones that have pace in. Pitches in Dubai don't. Its like comparing apples with oranges!


And if anyone thinks the PSL is the strongest comp however pass me what they are having as it must be good stuff!
