Lanka Premier League - Randy - 02-16-2018
Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has finalised dates for its Lankan Premier League (LPL) T20 tournament, but its ability to attract foreign talent may be limited due to scheduling clashes with the Caribbean Premier League and England's T20 Blast.
The LPL is scheduled to run between August 18 and September 10, while the CPL is set to be played from August 8 to September 16, and the English domestic season ongoing throughout. The LPL will feature six teams in its inaugural edition.
Although the clash seems an oversight, perhaps there was no way around it. With the IPL taking up almost two months, and the southern-hemisphere T20 leagues being played roughly from December to January, the Sri Lankan board is hamstrung by a busy schedule, not to mention the island's monsoon season. An August-September window may be the best of a poor set of options.
There is, at least, a slight lull in the international cricket schedule in those months. SLC may target players from New Zealand, Bangladesh and Australia, with those teams likely to be free during this period. Pakistan players could also be an option, particularly if their tour to Zimbabwe is called off. As the T20 blast and the CPL - in particular - are bigger-ticket tournaments, the LPL may struggle to attract the marquee players that other T20 tournaments boast.
Nevertheless, news of a high-profile Sri Lankan T20 tournament will be welcomed by local players, who have not had a regular domestic T20 tournament over the past few years. SLC had hosted an IPL-style T20 event in 2012, called the SLPL. That tournament collapsed after its first edition, largely due to lack of interest.

RE: Lankan Premier League - stillwill - 02-17-2018
Postpone it to September/October and attract cheap WI and few other players. Why compete with CPL and English T20 ? This is going to be a big failure and embarrassing. We don't need to have a T20 just because all others are having it. When SLPL started there was just couple of T20 leagues and SL had a strong team that people respected. Even that ended in an embarrassment. No even watches SL play international cricket anymore and no one is going to watch Isuru Udana Komarasuru. Can't get cheap Caribbean players and the likes of McCullum and Bravo will be in CPL, cheap Scottish and Ireland players will be playing in English. WTF we gonna do ? play with Masakadza ? Scum like Thilanga shouldn't even exist. This idiot promises a lot, does absolutely nothing and always takes credit for everything. Empty stadium, players looking lost and Gautham Bhimani commentary should be perfect.
RE: Lankan Premier League - Randy - 02-17-2018
Yeah this is gonna be an utter failure and embarrassing, now that you have said what you wanted GTFO.

This is the kind of attitude you shouldn't bring to the forum if you want to stay here. If you don't know how to disagree with an opinion in a decent manner, just don't reply.

So he's okay to use the words like scum,idiot and bring a whole lot negativity in to this.That was the worst post I've seen in my entire life.
RE: Lankan Premier League - Randy - 02-17-2018
Cheap Scottish, Irish players wtf?
Is he saying Test players cheap?
He should learn to appreciate what is done, without being a "I'm THEEE man"

I've seen worse insults on the forum and I've seen worse insults by you directed at users here. He did not insult a user here. It was about Sumathipala?
And hell no, you're not in any position to question the standards here considering how you have behaved. So think twice before you want to argue about that because that will be the last time.

He hasn't done absolutely nothing. Only you have done everything to the Sri Lanka Cricket with your grand use of words like "cheap,scum" and your perfect analysis of the game.We need more chaps like you, not scums like Thilanga who waste time building cricket grounds,handing over domestic contracts, initiating a T20 franchise style tournament.
RE: Lankan Premier League - Bada - 02-17-2018
Sumathipala is actually scum. Most people know that. Sharing this just in case you didn't know

So what everyone has a past.What matters is the the present, and his contribution to cricket.
He was involved with the SL mob and he is a bookie. Dambulla was good work. Right now he's just doing his job and SLC is not about the work of one person. On the other hand, he did scrap Mahela and Sidath's domestic plan and delayed it so he can start it as his own. He is a shameless PR stuntman. You might have great respect for him, but that doesn't mean we have to be naive too.
