Ofcourse things will change if Bangladesh refuse to tour Pakistan
Its a shame thatGuls form has declined so drastically lately that he is no longer considered in the top category - mean while I see Bangladesh still remember what Imran Nazir did to them in the T20 World Cup

Any reason why Ahmed Shehzad is not considered for it? He was brilliant last year so it's a surprise.

No Ahmed Shehzad and Jamshed who were the most successful batsmen in the last season with one of them finishing with the top run scorer?

Dont think the top players will be involved.
I thnk Srilankan players could have been involved easily. But shame that they arent because many of their players will be free during that period not to mention BD did their part and sent their players to make SLPL better, thoughhimself was unfit for the league

Have to agree that a lot of players have turned to play BPL 2013 and few more will join once the BBL ends and BPL is halfway through. But, they could have much better players had they been smart and paid the players early.
But one can seriously question the category system when someone like Tino best, Fidel Edwards and Dimitri mascarenhas gets a "Golden Contract" when players like Brendan Taylor are in the B category

Seems that quality international players is way better in BPL than SLPL. SLPL had pakistanis, tamim, azhar mahmood, hodge, nannes, jacob oram.....though there was expected to be a lot more players: Gayle, marsh brothers, botha, levi, shakib, samuels
But slpl had some great local players like dillu, sanga, jaya, mathews. Something BPL needs to concentrate on

Most of the top PAK players opted out, because chances are that they 'll miss the entire BPL for SAF Tour. Apart from pay as you play, there is a signing money & top PAK players might not be called during auction.
There is quota of foreign players & Franchises 'll not block their quota for players likely to miss entire BPL. Last time IPL teams also didn't bid for any PAK players, as they were not sure if these players 'll be cleared by Govt., didn't block their allocation.

LMAO....you think BD public personally asked for all those players?? Majority of BD pop would probably be able to only name 2-3 of the current PAK team.
Pak is the largest overseas pool to BPL as you guys have the most players willing to play and earn some real money (...even if it is paid late LOL)....need to fill in the gaps somehow so why not with pak players??

@Executioner are these category's based on Player's base prices??
-
18th December 2012, 15:01 #32
yes.
For foreign players, golden category is 75Ks, A category has 50Ks, B category 30Ks and C category 15Ks
though the money isnt all that much, its still better than that in SLPL. And in the future the amount will be increased considering that the league is held in more cities, and the ticket prices slightly increased. The matches usually start at 2PM in the afternoon, change it to 3:30-4:00 and there will be more viewers

-
18th December 2012, 16:04 #36
It is so amazing that most of us Pakistani fans (speically on PP) want Afridi out of the team.... and yet, all the executives, owners and management of foreign domestic cricket leagues (BBL, BPL, Hampshire, South African domestic T20, etc) are willing to spend prime dollars on this guy.
Either those executives, owners and managements are totally stupid or .... we (the fans) have no clue how to judge a player!

They are willing to spend money on him because he is still one of the most popular players with a very recognizable name. Doesn't mean he's still a good player. But these tournaments are all about getting people to watch, and Afridi still has a lot of popularity wherever he goes.

-
18th December 2012, 21:24 #47
Please read the first sentence of my post. As I said, if you look at the majority of the posters here on PP, they want him out of the team ... but you are saying people still want to watch him? Isn't that contradicting??
Or
you are saying the PPer are much smarter than the people who just get pulled to the stadiums all over the world by his popularity.....even if they see him get out first ball?
Now you are implying ... that fans who go to watch him are totally stupid .... because they don't know about his non-performance and they don't care about his performance? They'll just watch the golden-ducks after golden-ducks? Correct?
Any die hard Afridi fan (let alone people watching him play in BPL, County T20, SAF T20, BBL etc) would not go watch him get out first ball!!!
I guess, I don't understand your popularity comment vs unpopularity here on PP ..or even general Pakistani fans wanting him out of Pak team altogether!

This.
His that guy who you know will cause some sort of drama on or off the field that will make things a bit more interesting.
I think under his current form people are still interested to watch him just to see if he has a blistering comeback or if he drops to more lows in his performance.

They're not stupid at all.
Cricket is, after all, just entertainment.
And if people are entertained by him, then by all means they should pay to go watch him.
Similarly, leagues are, and should be, given the freedom to take advantage of his contagious publicity.
The entertainment he provides however is, more often than not, just the dramatization of his performance rather than its actual quality.
For example, the way he poses after wickets, his agressive appealing and the emphasis on his appearance.
Make no mistake, I'm not saying what he or his fans do is 'wrong' or 'bad' in any way.
It's just that most fans of the national team, despite being entertained by him, would rather see the team win than carry an out-of-form player for the entertainment.

Sorry for not fully understanding your response... or not being able to explain my point.... but let me try to clarify again....
I am talking about this poll on PP.
http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/sh...d.php?t=167132
39% wanted him to be dropped altogether.
36% wanted him to be dropped from ODIs.
That is whopping 75% (that is a large number) of the PPers who don't want to the see the "entertainment" that you mentioned. They don't care about drama, that you mentioned.
So... if PPer who voted for his ouster, (assuming they represent a decent sample of cricket fans) will mis the entertainment and drama that he brought into Pakistan team.
Then you guys keep mentioning "his popularity" and "the being the crowd puller"... .then is PCB stupid to drop him? Why PCB does not want the crowd to come and watch in UAE - regardless of the performance!!!?
Fans or executive who pay him big bucks?
Agree.... but what makes him worth the entertainment for BBL/BPL/Hampshire/etc fans but not for Pakistani fans and PCB?
So PCB does not care about the money that would bring in .. in UAE for our home matches?
Sachin is not being let go by BCCI because even with his Afridi-like performances, he is still part of the team.
Now you are question fan's IQ again!Are you saying all the BBL/BPL/Hamshire/etc fans don't recognize this?
I thought, he was more popular because of his six-hitting ability .... and now it is gone... the question I raise is... why leagues all over the world care about him but 75% PPer don't? That is the one of my question.
Ok.
Why don't executives on those foreign leagues see that...we 75% of the PPer see?Are you saying wins are not important to those team....when there is hefty reward/prize for the winners? Why do you think, Adelaide executives flew Saeed Ajmal to Australia for just one match..... and bowl only 4 overs? Entertainment or performance?
Last comment... for Afridi to entertain foriegn leagues, he HAS to stay at the wicket, hit a few sixes ... but we PPers (75% of them) think.... that he is not worth time and money!Why? Which goes back to my question in the first post .... do we 75% of PPer know cricket than league owners?

Imran Nazir is in golden because of his performance in the last BPL, including this in the Final:
http://www.espncricinfo.com/banglade...ch/551077.html
He was dominant in BPL, and also destroyed Bangladesh in the T20 World Cup recently.

What most people here do not realise is that the list is produced based on the interest shown by the players and not by the team.
Ahmed Shehzad or Hafeez is not there because they decided not to participate...

Aces Sports on Twitter reported that Ahmed Shehzad has been added to the auction, but I don't see him on the list.

No Jamshed/Shehzad, but there are players like Zulfiqar Babar, Asad Ali, and other newbies.
A lot of Pakistanis in Category C.
BTW why is Chanderpaul there?

5 reasons why PCB are correct in forcing Bangladesh to tour
1. Bangladesh got test status because of us
2. Mustafa Kamal got ICC vice presidency because of us
3. Bangladesh promised to tour
4. Pakistan need more tests - 5 test and 7 ODI series
5. Pakistan will provide top security and is safe as in Karachi games.
Well done PCB, organise more games please.

Aren't you going to pull out stats and twist them to prove how great lala has been in the past couple of years? use some common sense. League owners are paying him money because he is a massive crowd puller because where there is Afridi there is drama and also because of his past reputation such as smashing the fastest century and with lala at the crease it's going to be hit or miss which people like to see but that doesn't mean he is a great player and should not be dropped. As far as pp is concerned most of the posters here have a lot more knowledge about the game than a common cricket fan just take facebook comments for example there are a lot fans who like to watch cricket but are not crazy like digging up stats and spending hours everyday reading about it like a lot of posters here so ppers are bound to have more knowledge than a normal person. now as far as league owners are concerned they want crowd and money and Pakistan is not a league or club team and we want to win so sometimes you have to put your mind ahead of your heart and make the wise decision.
It's like everything you like to do doesn't always mean it's good for you like i want to see Afridi bat but at the same time I want Pakistan to win and if Afridi is failing to deliver than too bad we have move on. We are here to win while at the club level winning is important but making money is the first priority and I will pay to watch afridi because I don't really care who wins a match between two cities in Bangladesh it's just down to pure entertainment. hope i made it clear

he was ADDED, probably not in the initial list.
I think a lot more players will put their name in the auction and few others could enter once the BBL ends.
But someone like Nasir Jamshed could have easily been in that list. Not to mention, the league will really miss the service of gayle and samuels

No afghan players on the list?
Afghan players like mohammad shehzad, mangal and hamid hassan....and some other good players could get some good bids had they put their name up in that list. Atleast we know these guys unlike 50% of the pakistani players
Also, someone like tendoeschate could have easily put his name up, dont know whats holding him back. No lankan players as well?
