Think it as over all - first, the quality of PAK cricket has gone significantly down over the years. Then take out 15-16 top bowlers means, at an average 3 bowlers are missing from every team, who would have started for their FC teams.
From data or competitiveness, you’ll never be able to judge the quality because the players are missing from both ends - batting and bowling. Ideally, the concept is correct that six teams means accumulation of top players, but it will backfire when the overall quality is low. Therefore, for a six team FC system, it worked brilliantly for Aussies, particularly in 1990s, when NSW alone could have been best cricket team in world - take this: Taylor, Slater, Blewet, Mark, Steve, Bevan, Gilchrist (he left NSW for WA to ensure 1st team cricket!!!), Shane Lee, Brett Lee, McGrath, McGill .......
So, when Aussies were on tour, it was an opportunity for other players. For current state of PAK cricket, it’s detrimental, because there is just not enough quality cricketers even for first team. I have read your post minutely bro - your judgement is cluttered here. Read the names -
Zia ul Haq
Aamer Yamin
Zahid Mehmood
Mohammad Ilyas
Mir Hamza
Tabish Khan
Shahnawaz Dhani
Hasan Mohsin
Taj Wali
Umaid Asif
Kashif Bhatti
You will be surprised to realise how many of these would have been called to bowl in PAK nets 25 years?
Alternatively, you’ll have to take that the top few of the list in QeA season tally are going to pull-up some trees, because the numbers are truly mind blowing.
