Pakistani fans - How annoyed are you at the lack of cricket after the 2017 Champions Trophy?

[DRsohail]

For me its quite strange and makes me feel angry when i see all other major teams playing non stop cricket but here our Sethi sb always talking about PSL.
He should have arranged a series even if it was against ireland or Zimbabway.

It is really frustrating! Just shows the unprofessionalism of PCB. No planning. When Pakistan won the CT, surely it was time to cash in on the new found status?

Let sethi cash PSL for his long stay...by the way less than 8 month are remaining in his tenure,going by the current political situation of the country.

The players aren’t robots and they deserve some time at home. Given you guys don’t play any matches at home it must be incredibly tough for the players, mentally, to be on the road all the time. This period of no international cricket will be beneficial for the players imo.

but it has been more than 6 months,,,just one series.

 

[Markhor]

I'd have taken a 3 match ODI series vs Zimbabwe in Karachi this month.

Just anything ! We already had a long break in the summer. But these gaps are to be expected when you have no cricketing relations with two countries.

 

[shaz619]

We should have invited Bangladesh to the UAE

Knew that we were going to regret our diva attitude. Would have been an interesting series in the UAE if Shahryar hadn't messed up. A lot better than the WI and SL series.

It's become like a habit now. Players do a serie and then take a long break. It's pathetic how the PCB hasn't looked into this last year.

 

[DRsohail]

Let PCB chief satisfy his ego.We dhould be having good relations with BCB if we are not having it with BCCI for non criceketing reasons.and now Aghanistan is another one.

 

[ShahidDar08]

it is really frustrating to see Pakistan playing very little compared to other teams. I think this is the main reason why our batting is not established. PCB need to think about it seriously and take necessary measures to insure that Pakistan cricket team plays enough cricket and match with the potential of other top cricketing nations.

 

[babajee]

We should have invited Bangladesh to the UAE

Agreed, It would have been fun bashing our Bangla bros.

 

[Syed1]

Don't worry Najam Sethi is working on more vanity projects.

 

[Wonderwoman]

After getting whitewashed by Lanka .. I dont think Pak fans can claim that easily

He is obviously talking about ODIs, in which Lanka didn't even compete in one match. Do not mix up the formats.

We are under a rebuilding period so yes bangla would beat us but in 2 years time I expect us to be much better than we were against sri lanka. In odis I don't think bangla would have a chance.

 

[Hasan123]

It's very frustrating. Having some competitive cricket would have allowed us to build on the CT win and keep up the momentum.

We should have played that series with Bangladesh . Pakistan aren't in a position to turn down series when we don't play enough cricket as it is.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan lack of test matches is worrying.

PCB should make sure that Pakistan play at least 10 - 12 Test Matches every year.

pcb cant manage even half of them.

Pakistan is firmly in 6th place with a 12 point margin to 5th team. And Bangladesh are in no way inferior to Lankans in LOI.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

so we have a full series vs New zealand in January and after that nothing until Ma/June vs England.

We have the PSL in Feb-March.

 

[Last Monetarist]

It's clearly incompetent scheduling, especially when you consider that Bangladesh, South Africa and New Zealand were relatively free during this period as well.

 

[DRsohail]

bore hogaye hain yaar

to the last extent.....kitna boring time ha.

 

[WC-Passion]

It's annoying for sure, I've barely watched much Cricket since. I watched some of the Sri Lanka and World XI stuff and recently have been watching the Ashes when possible but other than that, there's been a lack of Cricket for me.

 

[Justcrazy]

They need to , that is the reason why very few pakistan batters get to 8000 - 10 K test runs , and also bowlers getting 300 Test wickets

Not new.when PCB is run by media people.

India has played 26 ODIs this year. Pakistan only 18. SL has played 13 Tests this year. Pakistan only 6.

 

[Hitman]

A rule needs to be implemented where every team gets to play a certain minimum number of matches in every format per year. 10 Test matches a year for every team would be awesome.

Absolutely. And the more matches smaller teams get, the more they'll improve. Just look at how Zimbabwe and WI have progressed over the last year.

 

[QalandarFan]

Yep it was pretty sad that there was only 1 series after the CT. However in under a month we will be back in action in NZ, and I can not wait to see that!

 

[Buffet]

India has played 26 ODIs this year. Pakistan only 18.

Aus - 15 ODIs
NZ - 17 ODIs
SA - 19 ODIs

Pakistan should try to play more tests, because only Zim has played less tests than Pakistan.

 

[Hitman]

I don't understand why such a rule hasen't been implemented yet. It would be so benefitial to the game.

This.
The bigger concern is lack to tests than anything else. We should have organised a test series after the Sri Lanka series against some other team. We should've played Bangladesh but pcb decided to make enemies by rejecting to play Bangladesh while we complain that no-one plays us.

 

[DRsohail]

the long wait for quality cricket is about to End.

 

[DRsohail]

BUMP..now annoyed by quality of cricket not played again.
