[Titan24]

Forgettable tournament so far for current Pakistan players(including sir Misbah)

Great tournament for Lala. Blew oppositions

Could have been a good start for Hassan though if Liton Das could take a simple catch

 

[Titan24]

I guess its fair enough to have asked them to play certain number of matches of deomestic tournament and then they can play in BPL.

 

[babajee]

Brilliant from Hasan Ali

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Bopara played a truly match losing innings.His team was in trouble at the beginning but he couldn’t hit out when needed the most.

DHAKA: Bangladesh has launched a series of police raids to crack down on illegal betting in cricket stadiums that has gripped the country’s main Twenty20 competition, tournament officials said on Saturday.

Some 77 people have been thrown out of two cricket grounds in the cities of Dhaka and Sylhet in the past few days after being suspected of betting during the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), a lucrative competition modelled on the Indian Premier League, officials said.

Betting is illegal in Bangladesh, but the alleged offenders — 10 of whom were Indian nationals — used their mobile phones to place live bets before scores were broadcast on television and online, BPL secretary Ismail Haider Mallick told reporters.

“Matches go on air four to five seconds or in some cases nine seconds after the original actions take place (on the ground). Gamblers were using the time gap to do betting,” he said.

The bettors were monitored at the venues, before being caught and evicted with assistance from special branch police, Bangladesh Cricket Board spokesman Jalal Yunus told AFP.

The BPL has been dogged by betting allegations since its first two editions in 2011 and 2012 were blighted by a match- fixing scandal involving players and team owners.

Top Bengali daily Prothom Alo reported last week that betting has become common in cities and remote towns during BPL matches.

Tea stalls, restaurants and auto-rickshaw garages have all become venues for fans to place their bets during the matches, the newspaper said.

A university student was allegedly murdered following an argument over a bet during a BPL match in Dhaka on November 6.

But Mallick said cricket authorities alone could not stop illegal gambling.

“We are trying to create awareness … but we can’t stop betting around the country. It entirely depends on the law- enforcing agencies,” he said.

The cricket board has tried similar tactics to curb betting in the past — at least four suspected bookmakers were thrown out of cricket stadiums in 2015 — but that has not stopped the gamblers.

Last year the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission blocked 12 betting websites in an attempt to curb gambling during cricket matches.

Nearly 50 foreign cricketers, including Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga, the West Indies’ Chris Gayle, New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum and England’s Jos Buttler are taking part in the seven-team BPL tournament this year.

[Executioner]

Nobody of the current lot played other than today's match

From what I've checked Sami and Misbah played only. So only two yeah.

Btw what about shadab and Sarfaraz?

Could have been a good start for Hassan though if Liton Das could take a simple catch

Yeah unfortunate.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Total disrespectful of Comilla Victorians to Drop their Captain Mohammad Nabi who's done well just because some other International players arrive.

 

[Titan24]

Btw what about shadab and Sarfaraz?



Yeah unfortunate.

Misbah is retired from all forms of international cricket so he was available and Sami is not a contracted player. By the way Afridi performed well but all of these are not from current lot.

Yes we might see Shadab in next few days but Sarfaraz has pulled out of the tournument.

Heard Babar Azam is also in Dhaka. PCB should ask him to not participate if he has niggles

 

[RobinJay]

Hassan Ali on fire. Two wickets in his first 3 balls after dropping a catch in the first over.

[Usman Chadda]

Forgettable tournament so far for current Pakistan players(including sir Misbah)

Great tournament for Lala. Blew oppositions

Misbah is a current Pakistan player and Afridi is not?

 

[Dios]

Why would you drop an in-form Tharanga for tuk tuk Azam?

 

[b.lesner]

there is no interest in seeing established players like babar azam, hasan ali and shoaib malik they are in pakistan team right now

The interest is in the unknown pakistan players who have been picked like Raza ali dar and shaheen shah afridi etc

Anyone knows if Raza ali dar has reached to play for rajshahi kings , it is impossible to understand how he is playing national t-20 and he has been selected in BPL

 

[Dios]

Babar Azam 2 off 5

 

[Someone]

Soo they dropped Highest run scorer of BPL ( Upul Tharanga) for Babar Azam ? oppz he scored 2 off 5 balls

 

[Arsalan Pro]

4-27 for Junaid Khan in his first match this season. Brilliant last over, where he bowled yorker after yorker.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Mohammad Sami strikes in his first over too.

 

[another drop catch]

Mohammad Sami strikes in his first over too.

yesterday hassan
today junaid
pakistanis overshadowing bangla bros

 

[MenInG]

2 wickets for Sami

 

[Sajjad-007]

Pakistani fast bowlers performance In BPL 2017.

Hasan, Junaid And Amir bowled exceptionally well. I thik BPL getting bigger by the participation of this pakistani star bowlers. Hasan ali just destroying every batsman.Junaid And Amir also bowling well.

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Outstanding bowling by Junaid Khan at the death, giving only 11 runs for 1 wicket in his last 2 overs to ensure victory for his team, some brilliant yorkers once again.

 

[Markhor]

Ghulam Mudassar operating at around 125-130kph and bowling one hit me ball after another in this first over.

 

[MMHS]

What an innings by Raza

 

[DRsohail]

What an innings by Raza

i think BPL franchises have done more homework than ours.some of their signings are so good like RAZA,Shahin SHAH though he has not get a game,RONCHI. and some of these Afghani players.
off the topic JUNAId has been superb today.

 

[DRsohail]

What an innings by Raza

Tharanga.MALINGA. and the srilankan skipper.

Afghans are dropped from PSL probably for different reason.

BPL international picks will always be better than most PLs & SLs as long as it operates in "Pay as you play" mode. I had long, long, long "explanations" for beggar BPL's PAYP concept - read that from top to bottom, you should understand how that mechanism is better when you have a wage cap & don't have an IPL like dedicated window.

 

[MMHS]

ZAC is the 2nd best batting wicket in BD, unless they stop watering before Test. If SS don't choke under scoreboard pressure, it's going to be a close game.

 

[riajul]

Babar Azam is on the crease at the moment.

 

[RobinJay]

lol Babar just hit a six

 

[DRsohail]

babar is playing well.should bat till the end.

 

[MMHS]

This pair is losing the match here. What I have seen, in T20, 125% of initial asking is probably the maximum a team can make up in last 10 overs. It has reached 13.5 level with 9 wickets in hand.

 

[babajee]

Babar needs to play like this for Pakistan

BABAR should rotate the strike the other has to hit it .

 

[Khan12]

Babar needs to play like this for Pakistan

He won't becuase of the UAE pitches. He was batting much better then this when we played world 11 in Lahore.
