It is the worst. And I didn't expect anything different.

It's like Ananta Jalil vs Tom Cruise movies .

Um, I disagree. It's not that bad....

Take a look at CPL. I love it, we all love...that's out culture..
Bachannal, bubbling up, twerking...etc...

No one party like us!!

Last night I was following up on my cricket and had two highlights option. IndvsEng in Willow and BPL in CI.

I watched the test highlights of IndvsEng. Coz I had no interest at all to watch BPL highlights.

Absolute **** of a league. Disgrace for us in so many ways. And that host makes me wanna die.

1) Low scoring affairs

3) Poor crowd
4) Low quality international players
5) Poorly managed league. Fixing, Semi-finalist selection dilemma
6) Payment dilemma
7) No home and away system, played in the same 2 places over and over again
8) Handful of international quality coaches
9) Poor coverage
10) Poor hostess

Can barely find any positives. Atleast BPL 3 had good crowds. All matches were sold out

Agree things need to be sorted out.

Picture in HD looks OK : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjW-Kz56AGw
Players are OK

Rest needed to be sorted out.

but we folks in Bangladesh don't get anything better than 480p output from channel 9

Until they move to home and away, the league is a farce, even without any of the other things you've mentioned.

I haven't even bothered to watch the BPL. Of course I only watch to see upcoming players and since Ebadat is injured, don't give a rat's behind anymore.

Didnt Ambreen get fired last year in the middle of the tournament?
How is she back?

[jeesh]

Just speaking about the marketing/presentation aspect.

Some of the Franchises are so unimaginative with respect to naming their teams. Rajshahi Kings? Sylhet Superstars?

Khulna Titan's jersey is a shocking copy of Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Seriously doesnt Bangladesh have a proper English speaking presenter to interview players? Even the countdown announcer pronounces numbers like a 1990's BTV English newsreader.

Commentators too. Cant they get at least a few decent commentators?

Given BPL is being broadcast around the world, organizing committee must be a bit more attentive towards the packaging of the tournament. Seems like no one quite cares. Just watch how its done in CPL, so much better every aspect-so much to learn, but will we

[nynemesis]

it wouldnt be like this if they were giving the match to sylhet stadium ,khulnah staidum and other stadium

BPL is as rubbish as the film industry of the country. Appeals to the mass local audience. And to be brutally honest our country as a whole lacks taste and are not innovative.

[MHRAM]

Teams can't even score 140+

And pitch ain't that bad

[hoodlum]

One positive thing as a fan: Atleast we are getting some cricket to watch.

This is the risk of playing the entire tournament on two grounds. Pitches will wear out, bounce gets uneven.

These low scores will continue

Film industry is on the big change. So let's spare that, for a while. Lots new good films coming out, plus with dual ventures its changing.

BPL will change too. BPL is being made to look like some ultra cheap league by some. What they are missing is, it's main purpose is locals to get some exposure playing with international players, sharing dreasing room with international players etc. This experience itself is good for the growth of a local player, mentally.
BPL WILL get better, once they (the gov body of BPL) gets the home and away system sorted, and does the organisation more professionally, advertising it a month before the league starts, hyping it all corners of BD with good promoting. Things will change.

[brockley]

Does it matter if it rated 1 or 2,or rather that it succeeds.
Borrow from the leagues that work and it will only get better.

[MHRAM]

^We aren't looking for any miracle

We can't even get the basics right at all.

-ambrin
-zing bells malfunctioning
-speedguns off
-poor picture quality supplied to Bangladeshi citizens

[simon]

what hurts the most is the quality of cricket.
in a T20 lg where teams are struggling to score 120 runs is just pathetic.
As both locals and overseas players struggling u have to blame the pitch.

[tonmoy.dhaka]

If this is a "rant threat" than I really want to rant about the terrible DJ's.

I wish there was no music or song or whatever... they keep playing the same tune for every 4's and 6's and wickets... it gets nauseating when watching the highlights.

Most things about BPL feels really cheap to be honest. I always feel that we should always have our own identity when we do things instead of blindly copying another country.

I miss the days of 50 overs DPL in the 90's. The clubs had an identity, it was our league. The foreign recruits also loved the experience. The spectators were not "bhara kora cheerleaders", and cricket was cricket. I used to be glued to the radio if not the TV (only the finals were broadcasted).

Takes time to build a prodct,Big Bash didn't happen overnight,now its outrating the Australian tennis open and soccer.Maybe will outdo the tests.
Was a better night last night,and the crowds were out to.

[jeesh]

Well at least Sheena is back :P

[tanvir_nus]

Dude... eat your words... this match alone proves how good BPL is and how good it can be in the future... fantastic matches.. all close finishes and nail biters.. pressure on the nerves

[Zeeshan]

Frankly I avoid all leagues. They are all so compact. It's like my posting dosage. Too much spoils it.
