Who else has lost interest in PSL season 2 after the corruption scandal?

[Ahmad Shah]

Atleast i have lost faith and interest in this season
though initially i was extremely excited
my heart is broken
after this incident i see every ball with suspicion
for me every moment of every match looks fixed


who else has lost interest in this PSL season

would PSL still be successful after these allegation at the initial stage of tournament ???

 

[MRSN]

I personally quite enjoying PSL. If someone does corruption and gets caught and taken out of system it is good signs. We should not be upset over some X,Y,Z getting caught. Cricket must move on.

 

[DoosraTeesra]

My interest isn't hampered by these corruption allegations.

It was already on the low side due to recent continuous losses by Pakistan team playing down under.

Furthermore, No local starpower. Only interested in seeing how foreigners perform in PSL.

 

[Barragan]

Nope, I'm loving it.

I'm a bit frustrated with the foreign captains having no faith in the local talent.

A has been like elliot was batting above Rizwan.

 

[shaaik]

I am dejected. Sharjeel has shot himself on the foot here. He was improving with each game and his international stakes were rising immensely... his international career should be over if found guilty.

 

[dhump]

Not lost the interest completely, but I am genuinely hurt by these allegations and not for players whom are named but the image of PSL they have damaged.

 

[WC-Passion]

I'm still watching but I'm hoping the matches are a bit closer, so far it's been pretty comfortably for the winning sides.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

If it is indeed just these 2 players, then I'll feel better knowing that the PCB was able to catch it and took swift action.

But if more players come out, then this season truly is tainted.

 

[KingKhanWC]

It has soured the tournament.

Sethi breaking the news on commentary while a live match is in progress has to be the most stupid thing I've ever seen in any sports match. PCB has no clue what is going on out there and is trying to protect itself by making foolish decisions ruining a league with potential.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

The fact that we've lost our best LOI batsman is a hard one to swallow.

 

[Sub-Zero]

not me. I'm enjoying it.
Go Quetta!

 

[Zohaib Shah]

I think this is a huge over reaction.

Corruption in cricket is never a new thing. Why should you lose interest in such a ill matter?

 

[MRSN]

Pakistan is a cricket crazy nation. I witnessed IPL being watched all over my city despite BCCI didn't allow our players to be in the auction. People just love cricket here. These types of incident affect passionate fans but don't think general people will care about Sharjeel or Latif. They will keep on watching cricket which is good. cricket must move on. If Sharjeel is guilty bad for him and his family. It will provide chance to a more honest player to replace him.

I have lost interest in Karachi Kings since Amir is playing for them. I would not support Amir anymore. If he plays for Pakistan national team then I will support all the team members except him. Dont want to see him bowling at all and making a mockery of Pakistan cricket.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

enjoying it every match... 3 - 4 players and the whole tournament is bad ? no... cricket doesnt go that way..

agree handling was quite foolish. zero marks for professionalism from Sethi and co.

 

[Finisher]

the dull commentary and empty stands is contributing more to me losing interest.

 

[Cheetah99]

Not at all, loving every minute of it
Go Lahore!

 

[Major]

I'm dejected by Isloos mood

 

[waqar goraya]

Not at all. Although I am disheartened to see that we don't have good enough bowlers who can put the likes of Perera, Pollard, Elliot to rest.

Amir as a whole seems over hyped. He is like Rohit Sharma of bowling. He looks pretty when he plays but once in a blue moon will he bring results. Cricket is not about looking pretty its about getting results with that beauty. Amir fails at it a lot these days.

This.

I am personally happy the bad apples have been weeded out so that I can enjoy a nice, clean product where everyone is playing fairly to win.

 

[Syed1]

PSL is just 'fun'

I'm more worried about the future of our LOI side.


There might be situation where we have Azhar and Shehzad opening the batting for us

I would rather have superstars like Shehzad opening than the fixers.

If Azhar is gone too from the ODI squad - would love to Fakhar Zaman or Imam a chance to partner with Shehzad.

Yar aek tou ap bhi apnay Shehzad ke agenda ke sath ajatay hain


What would it take for you to see that Shehzad is not good enough for international cricket. He has zero performance, plays at a bad strike rate and then has an ugly attitude. Shehzad should be kept as far away from the side as possible.

He also hasn't done zilch in the 2 matches of the PSL.

Shehzad is simply not good enough. Not sure what you guys see in him.

True but it is still early stages in the tournament - give it a few more games to determine who amongst the top performers. You will have a good idea by the time the playoffs start.

 

[moghul]

Empty stadium, depressing. Non-stop losses by Pak team taking its toll on over all interest in cricket in Pakistan.

 

[Square Drive]

Basically this.

Also, although I admittedly did lose interest for yesterday's games after hearing this news, I'm very much back to normal now, especially after hearing that Sharjeel and Khalid remain the only two at fault. .

A part of me is still hopeful that Sharjeel and Latif, too, are cleared.

Let's see what evidence PCB pulls out.

was amongst the highest run scorers in the domestic events. Also if I'm not wrong he lead his side to victory with great match winning knocks in the finals?

[MRSN]

What was his strike rate?

his Departmental One day cup last three innings
Final : scored 68 off 51 chasing 235
Semi Final: 166 off 133 chasing 286
prior to sf: 112 off 112 chasing 257

If he can play like that in international cricket I will support him. Cause that sounds like the old Ahmad Shahzad.
