flamy Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/content/current/story/453728.html Kumar Sangakkara, the captain of Kings XI Punjab, has been banned for one match after his side was found guilty of not completing their overs on time, for the third time in the IPL. The latest instance was on Saturday, in the defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders in Mohali. "KXIP slow on over rate again tonight. Sanga (Sangakkara) banned for 1 game," IPL chief executive Sundar Raman said on his Twitter page, shortly after the completion of the match. Right through the tournament, the IPL has come down hard on captains for shoddy over-rates. After the first three games of the 2010 season, four captains - Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Sangakkara - were fined $20,000 each because their teams were not able to complete its overs on time. Punjab were once again at the receiving end, after falling one over short of the requirement during their defeat against Rajasthan on March 24. Sangakkara, being a repeat-offender was fined $40,000, while each of his team-mates were poorer by $10,000. Despite being hauled up twice for the offence, Punjab fell short of the necessary over-rates against Kolkata, prompting the harsh punishment. The one-match ban for their captain adds to Punjab's woes, as they continue to struggle for form on the field, and are languishing at the bottom of the table with five defeats in six games. Their next match is against table-toppers Mumbai Indians, on March 30. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Yuvi will be captain for the next game? :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also believe that Mahila should get the boot and Barath given a chance Agree. Maha is off colour. Even Bopara is off colour as well. Pathan should just play as a batsman. He is a trundler. Theron should come in. So 4 foreign players should be: Marsh, Bopara/Jaya, Lee, Theron. I can see what the best combination is, why cant these experienced players and the coach?

Sachinism Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 The IPL's ridiculous over-rate fines by Aakash Chopra This was perhaps in the offing. Kumar Sangakarra’s ban for a match didn’t really take me by surprise. After being penalized twice in five games for the same offence, the third faux pas just had to be dealt with severely. Yet, it would be too naive for us to take this slip-up as just that. Had it been the case, the mammoth fine of $140,000 would’ve undoubtedly served as a good enough deterrent. Perhaps, there is more to the story than what meets the eye. Since it takes only four minutes to finish an over, 80 minutes should be enough to finish 20. Two strategic time outs of 2.5 minutes each should then settle the innings at around 85 minutes in total. This time span becomes lesser, if you happen to have spinners in the side, bowling at less than three minutes an over. But what’s transpiring on the field is quite the opposite. As many as four captains have already been fined once for slow over-rate. This tells us that the estimations aren’t as clear-cut as they sound, at least not in this format. While T20 runs at its own rapid pace, there’s always the danger of a captain going with the flow. But if the captain allows that to happen, the team is doomed. He needs to break the momentum at regular intervals to ensure that the opposition doesn’t run away with the game. And that’s where the problem starts. Most bowlers take a few extra minutes at the start of a spell, to warm-up, get the run-up and think right, which they make up for in the following overs. Unlike 50-over cricket, where bowlers get to bowl longer spells, in T20, bowling changes are introduced after every couple of overs, which in turn is not always easy on them. While most bowlers mark their run-ups in advance, it’s only natural to be 100% sure every time they start a new spell. Because one no-ball followed by a free-hit can change the complexion of the game. Also, most teams have at least three-four quick bowlers who take a lot more time than the spinners. In ODIs, longer spells from spinners make up for the extra time consumed by the quick bowlers, but four-over spells in T20 are not enough. To add to a captain’s woes, the noise in the stadium makes it almost impossible for him to convey messages to his out-fielders. But you can also not have the fielders in the right place. Hence, the field change too consumes another couple of crucial minutes. I won’t be surprised if Sangakarra has had a quiet word with the DJ in Mohali to avoid further penalties. Slow over-rate might have an explanation or two; unfortunately it doesn’t have any real solution, except of course running between the overs and even the deliveries. While a fine is perhaps the only way to book the guilty, the flip side of it baffles me. The third offence not only led to Sangakarra's ban but also another whopping fine of $250,000. Sangakarra might not have a problem in paying $110k ($20k for the first offence and $40k & $50k for the other two), others in the team, especially the local Indian recruits are sure to feel the pinch shelling out $30,000 each. Some of them are earning no more than a few lakhs for the entire tournament and if they happened to be fined twice, they may take home nothing. One more offence and these players will have to pay from their pockets to play in the IPL. Most franchisees would happily pay the fine, but it’s only a gesture. Since they are not forced to pay, one cannot really hold it against them if they decide otherwise. http://blogs.cricinfo.com/beyondtheblues/archives/2010/03/the_ipls_ridiculous_overrate_f.php Thankfully this issue was addressed, the fines are pathetic, its just another excuses for the administrators just filling their pockets Who in the IPL adminstration wants a thinking fielding captain who sets attacking fields and guides his bowlers? bowler is only an instrument to bowl a full toss for six! # comment from cricinfo :giggle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wicket Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If a player in the fielding side got into a physical altercation with one of the opponents that held the game up for 15 minutes, I wonder if he would get the harsher punishment from the ICC (or whichever inbred dumb**** board executive would make the ruling) or whether his captain would be worse off, because the over rate got slowed down.

Cricketics Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Sanga as a captain is such a joke. sanga can't lead the sinhala speaking 11 man lankan team.. how will he lead punjabis. He shouldn't have accepted the proposal of captaincy. I thought he would resign as captaincy of Sri Lanka, but he is still their captain and accepted punjab's captaincy too.
