Love the scheduling of this tournament. Blink and it's over, that's how it should be.

Gayle chugging along at a lazy SR or 230.

Gayle is more hard working than a Kamathipura hooker. How many teams does he service now?
If you count both West Indies and West Indians, hes up to 11: Barisal Burners, Jamaica, Kolkata Knight Riders, Matabeleland Tuskers, PCA Masters XI, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Stanford Superstars, Sydney Thunder, West Indians, West Indies, Western Australia.

Naeem Islam to be raging. Bowls 1 over for 5 and doesn't get another bowl. Then guys like Styris and Trego come on and get spanked for >20 off one over.

to be fair he doesn't play for kkr, stanford superstars or western australia anymore, also west indians/west indies should really be one team and the pca masters xi wasn't exactly a full time thing anymore, so currently he's up to 6

Rahim is probably shocked that he's keeping to a Fast Bowler, who actually bowls fast and can swing the ball.

Very Nice 1st over by Sami ... He's seems alot quicker than the last time I saw him.

I don't see why anyone would begrudge Bangladesh having an event like this. Yes the quality is going to patchy but they're not forcing you to watch it.

Afridi got 700k and Gayle got 550k, they were by a long way the highest earners. Most didn't even earn 100k, with a considerable number not even reaching 50k.

You guys are acting like 50K USD for 3 weeks of worth of work is something awful, Especially for some of the local players. Thats a ton of Money in Bangladesh. 50K USD is alot of money in 1st world countries

Afridi and Gayle are the highest earners but there getting paid on a pro rated basis. Since there not playing every game. Every West Indian is making over 250K. The Pakistani players are getting paid handsomely as well.

These leagues is what Symonds and Flintoff probably thought of how they were going to make money when they ended their international careers. It's ironic that it's Gayle who's living the mercenary lifestyle but he's being blackballed from playing international cricket.

Yes, it's not like they're going around Bangladesh mugging people to make up the money anyway.

I hope it gives the Bangladesh players exposure to a more professional environment, even if it's more through the training and coaches rather than the games themselves.

Seems to be a rather anomalous innings from Mahmudullah going by his career strike rate...
