Zia seems be competent with Amir.
I particularly like several things and features of PSL which moves it to the international standard.

what the fuck happened to lahore and islamabad teams both got big names but nakame performance on all fronts.
quetta team blew me away the team i underestimated a lot is kicking everyones ass wright did great batting in yesterday match.

zalmi did win the match too but why the fuck is every1 playing like its one day match its T20 for the love of cricket.when targets will be close to 200 score than i think PSL will become real interesting to watch all big names will wake up than seeing big scores and are pressured to perform.

i dnt think these pitches do support 200 runs as the ball grips .

I hate this PSL already. All Lahore players are hired by other franchises. We dont have a single pace bowler. Even Mustafizur left us. No chance for Qalandars.

Yes. Exactly.
I was in the stadium yesterday and I've never seen such a boring T20 before. A lot of people walked out. And, pretty much all the matches have been that way so far, so, I kinda think it's the dead pitch.

They shud make batting friendly pitches ppl like sixes in the leagues or it is a quality bowling? And batsmen are losuy

Btw i am pretty disappointed to see pakistan batting not a single youngster looks promising and looks like we have to stick with players like shehzad hafeez and azhar ali decades
They should learn few things from luke right and kp how to do firey opening

PSL can seriously stand out with its factor of bowling attack, and in return forcing the local batsmen to improve further. All the big leagues are already stale with flat tracks and batting bullies. The big shots in PSL can actually be the big shots in value too.

The problem with the pitches are that they're low and slow, they have no pace and the batsman can't time shots properly, this makes for very boring cricket. Bowlers like zulfiqar baber can pitch the ball on one spot and get wickets, there is no skill required to do that, no working out the batsman. This is the same problem in domestic pitches, and this is the reason we are not producing fluent batsman and good bowlers anymore.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
