Substitution rule in IPL?

pal, i like that, thanks. there is no much politics in our small town when it comes to your kids playing ball i know what unfairness is.it may be that way in the big sports field to, i don't know/ alot of times here it wasn't who was the best it was who your parents nwere. i was never in the in crowd & thanfully my kids were pretty good players but believe i didn't mind jumping in when i thought it was needed. lol. have a good weekend.

Lady, It is nothing like you are talking about. The platform is much bigger than what you are talking about. I mean there are 8 teams at national level and at a time only 11 players can play in a game from each team. Thre is 26 players pool, alright but all of them gets a salary, whether they play or not. So, there is no unfairness in it. Aprt from it that oly 11 best player should play in a game as all teams need to win their matches to head to a final where the winner get 6 million dollars, it is a big amount to win. My concern is that by using substituion, more players can get a chance to win!

Even if you don't know anything about cricket, you have understood my point. I appreciate your effort pal!

The question is that if flintoff would have been carrying on the same form which he has in IPL2, could Dhoni afford to make him play in every matches! I doubt it because at the end, they want the matches to be won by their team. I don't think they will play someone only because they have paid more money to them but performance is the key!

yes and that was the reason why they were loosing the game. I mean one bowler giving 50 runs in a T20 match means that he is making a great negative impact on the team's performance. Hope that Oram will be performing well now on!

If they are sitting out then that means that somehow they are lesser then those who are playing and I won't mind seeing the better ones forever!

but there is nothing wrong in experimentation, isn't ti?

Whatever you are saying is correct but still we havn't seen players like Stephan Fleming, Makhaya ntini or Paul Collingwood, only because we have a rule of playig 4 os players in a team at a time. So, if there will be a rule of substitution these players can get a chance, same thing apply for under 23 also!

You must be using your email notification link to answer this discussion. Yes, it is related to cricket and IPL stands for Indina Premier League. It is just like English Premire League. Here top 8 teams from India used to play in the league.

thanks for your response. i like sports, both my sons played sports i was there biggest fan. sometimes they too big, lol.

Thank you very much scififan for the response Yes, it will be exciting, there is nothing wrong in giving it a try.

Hopefuly the rule will be inplmented.

That is why I say that some inovation is required in it. I mean if one team gets to replace two players, either batsman or bowler in each innings after toss, then it will be a good thing. I have given that advise on Iplt20.com. Let's see what happens next!

That is why I am saying that there will be a pool of players from which they can choose the players. Say we are allowed to substitute 2 players in each innings. It is a little complicated though. We can also try what people do in baseball too!

Is there any way we can contact mr. Modi? I mean someone has to give this idea into his ear isn' it?

It is a little bit complecated but what they can do is having a pool of 15 players with 2 xtra batsman and 2 extra bowlers and the substitution may be allowed either start of the match(after the toss) and in the middle(lunch time). After all T20 is an experiments and all 26 players may get a chance of playing a game, isn't it?
