@TheSultan was running his mouth a lot on SRs in BBL even saying it is worse than spot fixing. I wonder what he has to say about SRs in BPL...
BPL is the epitome of toughness... Nobody can perform there.. Wait
Because nobody cares about this low-grade league full of shady owners and a history of not even paying the players the money they were owed
So that makes Farhan's performances irrelevant I guess? What logic..no wonder you like 2 chikkay Farhan and *hokli.
I don't remember asking Chokli fans to comment.
More excuses. Farhan on any and every kind of pitch has a ceiling of 120 SR.
I actually think he's a pretty flawed player but I would still take him any day of the week over the 114 strike-rate King who gets offended and hurt when better batsmen show him his true place and tell him to stay at the non-striker's end.
Is that why his T20I SR as an opener is 130+?
I think Rizwan would kill for a strike-rate of 120 right about nowIs that why his T20I SR as an opener is 130+?
Maybe your viewing ceiling is 120 alongside Babar and Rizwan and thus you can't see above.
Only when you include minnows. Excluding, it is 127:Is that why his T20I SR as an opener is 130+?

Rizwan is a keeper and won a WC semi vs NZ and a WC game vs India. Farhan's ceiling will be 2 chikkay against Bhumrah.I think Rizwan would kill for a strike-rate of 120 right about now
Talking of minnows.Only when you include minnows. Excluding, it is 127:

I am being kind by leaving West Indies there. Against SENAI (England he has not played) avg 25, SR 115:

Do you want me to show stats of Babar as an opener?
Good to know how high your standards are. Winning two matches in tournaments we didn't even win. Btw, what happened after that in the big final? When Pakistan needed their GOAT T20 opener to step up and deliver? I'll give you a hint...
Pitches in Sylhet were good. Mirpur is low standard wicket to play t20s. BPL is lacking proper organisation, proper visionary taking the game to each division with proper plans.
Hopefully under the new bcb president and new next gov, Bogra will be back, saw news on Barisal stadium getting renovation, need other stadiums in Khulna, Rangpur, Comilla, Coxs Bazar sorted.Yes. I agree with you.
I think Chittagong pitch is also good for T20. It is very flat.
They should use other grounds too (Bogra, Khulna etc.). I don't know why they don't use more grounds.
Ironic, my standards are a thrashing of our rivals in a WC and a WC semi win....your standards are smashing some SL club bowlers and some "chikkay" in a losing cause.
How many ICC tournaments has Farhan won? What a clown post calling a chase against India low pressure! I am sure you thought 120 vs India in T20 WC 24 was low pressure as well.
Yes Babar played a leading role in that ICC tournament win with his best of 46 and 133 runs across five matches. Btw how many big matches and finals has he lost since? I guess the USA match doesn't count as a big match. You can keep obsessing over Farhan all you want, won't change the fact that Babar has been a bum with the bat for years now. The simple reality is that he is a mentally weak, overhyped batter who despite his talent hasn't done or achieved anything meaningful in years. He has been on a downward trajectory since 2023 and has only gotten worse with each passing year. Rather than making an effort to improve his weaknesses he is content with coasting on his name and that makes him a lazy and mediocre cricketer. I had alot of hopes from him and was willing to look past alot of it, but everyone has their breaking point. The only thing worse than Babar are die-hard fans of his who look past all the obvious facts and numbers because they like watching 6 second TikToks or his cover-drives or whatever.
It is not so bad a league. Much better than the fake leagues and yeah it can attract big names.I know quality of BPL isn't very high and posters are rightfully pointing that out.
But, despite the low quality and various issues, BPL regularly manage to attract big names.
This year, many Pakistani players are playing. There are also big names playing, such as - Mohammad Nabi, Chris Woakes, Kane Williamson, James Neesham, Moeen Ali, Dawid Malan etc. I know they are old and washed up but these are big names.
In the past, major players who played in BPL were --> Sanath Jayasuriya, Chris Gayle, Narine, Pooran, Steven Smith, David Warner, Brendon McCullum, Faf Du Plessis, Shaun Tait, Brad Hodge, Shahid Afridi, Andre Russell, Pollard, Darren Sammy etc.
Main purposes of BPL are to generate some revenues and identify T20 talents for the national team.
Anyway, Pakistani players regularly play in BPL and it is very much appreciated. Even Ramiz Raza commentates in BPL regularly I believe (Aamir Sohail and Waqar Younis were also past BPL commentators).
Some criticisms are valid like the ownership can do better and be more professional but we gotta appreciate these leagues that run independently without fake cash injections from Indian capital . For BPL to keep standing firm and attracting good players is testament to the good work done.Those who paint it as doom and gloom criticize it for their dislike for BD. Nothing to do with BPL. LOL.
Anyway, they can be ignored I guess since their criticisms aren't constructive in nature.
Anyway, BPL is one of the oldest T20 leagues in the world. It started in 2011 I believe.

and Babar faced better quality bowlers in foreign conditions where has this clown was batting in one of the worst leagues in more familiar conditions facing BD bowlers. well when his resume is filled with achievements like hitting two sixers against bumrah in a a losing cause, one cannot expect much i guess
Let the ususal agenda based poster do some bhagra... All they remember is those 2 sixes where he played run a ball knock.
