Could there be something in IPL/CSK contract that these players(TEAM INDIA) should represent national side in certain number or percentages of the games to maintain their stardom status. Its Kanspiracy theory between corporate world and IPL big teams but its still worth thinking. After all why the hell we have Jaddu Dhawan Binny Vijay Ashwin in playing 11

Ashwin is our best spinner, Vijay highest run getter, Dhawan runs in NZ.

Ashwin is our best spinner' date=' Vijay highest run getter, Dhawan runs in NZ.[/quote'] There is nothing wrong with persisting with players or giving them chances. I remember Dravids early days. Every time he struck the ball it went to the fielder. So, even after hrs of batting his contribution contribution to the scoreboard used to be insignificant. But you could see he was flawless in technique and very pleasing to watch. Offcouse when you are out there and have IPL quality and if lucky you will score some runs. Scorecoard never tells how many times batsmen got beat or ball didnt carry to slip or went flying past some fielder.
