Will Vettori still be getting paid for the matches he doesn't play in?

 

[99*]

But but... how can that be? Isn't Vettori one of the big signings?

Not to mention one of the best T20 bowlers in the world.

Yep, unless your unavaiable or injuried for the whole tournment you still get paid. I think you still get a percentage of your pay even if your injuried or unavaiable.

I think cus he is leaving early and Maharoof had a good game they decided to go with him and Malik instead. So they don't have have to chance combinations once the finals arrive.

That is not a good excuse, a lot of Aussie players and WI players are leaving too but you don't see them dropped.

Different sides different tactics really.

On the contrary, I'm trying to suck out a reason from Chaminda as to why he is dropped other than the leaving early theory.

It'll make me feel less lonely bashing him.

Tiwary doing well here...Delhi need about 165-170 to have a defendable score.

 

[pasag]

So you acknowledge the bowling problem and suggest getting rid of one of the most effective Twenty20 bowlers?

Gilchrist is by a distance the man to go. His performances have been falling away for a while and he's done little so far.

Yeah, you're right. Afridi's bowling is often overlooked so as I said, Gilchrist would probably be the one to go for now although with Symonds leaving soon that may sort itself out.

Actually I think Delhi is side that said they wanted to play an all Asian side, so thats probably the actually reason. They had this big thing about only playing Pakistan and Sri Lankan players as there overseas players. But if Vettori was as good as McGrath then he might have played.

I'll try and find the article if you want, but I'm pretty sure that would be reason. Dilshan probably would have played ahead of him as well if he wasn't on a plane back from the West Indies.

EDIT: AB Di Villers is India now and Malik got picked ahead of him. I think that is enough proof there.

If that is the case why fork out 700 000 + for Vettori at the auction?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

If that is the case why fork out 700 000 + for Vettori at the auction?

So they wouldn't have to face him?

 

[Manee]

VRV Singh bowled well today. He gets massively steep bounce, it is quite extraordinary. I'd like to see him bowl more often in the 140kph area though, but it would seem that the pace of the four Punjab fast bowlers were all down today.

 

[chaminda_00]

I guess in case Maharoof and Asif got injured. Both had some injuries clouds over them when they were picked up. They also got their preferred Pakistan/Sri Lanka players fairly cheap, so they would have had money to spend.

Katich is such a gun.

 

[chaminda_00]

Was surprised when Katich was selected ahead of Sarwan and then an opener ahead of Shaun Marsh, considering he is ahead if him in the Australian limited overs pecking order. But at the end of day you can't keep a good man down. Qualiy stuff from Katich.

**** gets out as I post.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Deccan Chargers fielding, probably decided that it doesn't matter how many they score going first their bowling will botch it.

6 out of 13 Australian MOTM awards so far, fair effort.
