And what if that player is sitting on the bench for the entire IPL while he could be playing cricket elsewhere. In order to please the crowds teams in the IPL play the "favorite players" instead of the best or better players.
Even National teams have a squad of 15. Does everyone get a game? NO. So whats the big deal if a player doesn't get a game? He's still getting paid the kind of money he'll take 2 yrs to make with his national contract.
As far as I am aware you don't get paid if you don't play. If you get signed by a team and you play half the season in the IPL but play the other half in your domestic competition you don't get paid your full contract.
Its a professional contract, not a random Sunday League game where you can turn up one day and say the next, "Dude, I don't feel like playing today. Carry on without me". You can't have a cake and eat it too. Players need to stop being greedy expecting millions to fall into their accounts eventhough they "feel like not turning up". When the IPL is going on, either play Domestic or play the IPL.
that just made no sense at all but whatever.
It means, the National boards have no problems allowing players to participate in the CLT20 because they get a cut for participation and a win. Everything takes a backseat at that point. However, when their players want to play in the IPL, the board suddenly realize that these players have a domestic tournament to play & refuse to grant an NOC.
As board, they need to pick ONE stance and stick to it. You can't have a cake and eat it too.
O but you have the right to put him up there right next to God, Sachin and the top of the game of cricket.
I'm not trying to vilify the dude but I'm pointing out something he is doing that isn't good for the game of cricket or for the relations of the cricket boards towards the IPL.
I don't put anyone next to God. If someone is right, I will support him even if the world is against him. And I believe Modi is running
HIS league the way
HE wants to ! Not just the IPL but everything in the world can be good for some and bad for some.
And by you, I didn't mean "YOU". It was a
general statement. We use a "You" generally while talking, don't we?
You are forgetting one thing, England and South Africa do it as a part of their domestic competition not a off shoot cricket league that is focused on just making money. Comparing England and Safers domestic limited overs competitions with the IPL is just clutching for straws. They arent even closely related or relevant to each other.
Well, we can't have different opinions when both decisions are money-making decisions. IPL is an Indian domestic tourney. Comparison becomes evident because when England & SA does it, they become "Holier than thou". When India does it, we get murdered by every section as well as any random 80 yr old cricket "enthusiast".
I can make whatever comments I feel like making. Same way you are allowed to post everything about Modi, so can I. We are posting about the same man after all. And don't take it so personal when I'm talking about Modi and his league, unless your him
. Its a topic to discuss nothing to pull your hair out for.
Nah Buddy. I always like a good debate. And thats what we're having here. No rants, no pics, just pure talk that makes sense
Also, congrats for responding to everything but this-
Lets not forget, IPL franchises LOSE >$200,000 for securing the services of a player who plays for multiple teams while non-IPL teams DON'T PAY A FIG ! That is UNFAIR to the IPL franchises !
I don't see anyone talking about this. Now why is that so? :sarcasm
To be honest, I knew you woudn't pick on it. And it was quite a conspicuous absence there :sarcasm
