It’s Mailbag time again! I’ve been pretty overwhelmed with the volume of questions in previous mailbags so feel free to post any in the comments section below.
Topics this month can be anything cricket-related but preference will be given to these areas:-
2023 PSL
Upcoming Men’s IPL
Business of cricket
Please note that with the Hundred Draft several weeks away I will be unable to answer any questions relating to that tournament currently.
You often talk about how low boundary rate anchors are overvalued on the franchise circuit and why, usually due to a lack of intent. Regarding bowlers, you often talk about a low strike rate and high boundary percentage being mindicators of a lack of quality, but like a lack of intent is often the core factor behind low SR batting, are there any key actions from the bowler themself that cause this low strike rate and high boundary percentage?
Are franchise T20 Leagues making money except for IPL. Can you talk about PSL , CPL & LPL ? Are their respective boards & franchises making money? Will IT20 stay relevant in coming years with lot's of money but no actual fanbase as witnessed in UAE Stadiums?
