IPL The so called Fair play points...

[Earagav]

Okay, I will be straight.

In club football, if a manager signs a good player and doesn't give him enough chances, then its considered to be unfair. Isn't it?

Chennai Super Kings players, Samuel Badree and Irfan Pathan, have not even played a single match this season! Badree is a great t20 bowling talent, just look at his averages, but CSK refuse to play him.

Okay, its their wish, but HOW on Earth do they still lead for the Fair Play award?!? Shouldn't there points be refused because of this?

~JUSTICE~​

Totally Agree

CSK signed up so many good players of the likes of Irfan, Hussey, Badree, Rahul Sharama for strengthening their bench squad.

In that case they should atleast play ONE match.

Seriously? Badree for bench-warming and Playing Ashwin/Jadeja? Doesnt make a damn sense.

Dhoni doesn't change his XI if he feels it alright.Not just in IPL,in every series he has captained India also he never change his XI much unless there is an injury or someone is seriously out of form.I think he rather believes in having a stable XI.

There is an overseas limit so Badree can not replace either Ashwin or Jadeja.It has to be one of McCullum,Smith,Bravo or Faf du Plessis.No one would want the best openers to sit out neither would one agree to keep the purple cap holder out.The last one is Faf du Plessis but with an unstable middle order, keeping Faf out will only back fire. So its better off CSK keeps Badree especially when Ashwin and Jadeja is not being that bad.

On the fair play awards,it is based on the points Umpires give after the match.Its based on on field attitude and discipline.If umpires feel the team is quite discilined in the field he gives good points.No wonder Mumbai sits at the last after what Pollard did on the ground.

Though CSK are on the top their Average is just 5.46, this means how undisciplined the other teams are.
