Should Mike Hussy and Mathew Hayden play for their ipl side or play in a tour match?

Question

Their ipl side the chennai superking want them to play for their franchise in a T20 tournament that will clash with a planned tour match in india later this year?

Answer 1

They should play for Australia..

That is where their loyalties should lie..

Answer 2

Their number 1 priority should be playing for their country.

End of discussion.

Answer 3

Their number one priority should be the tour match.

Loyalty to ones country should overcome the mighty dollar!!!

Answer 4

Cricket Australia should let them play for Chennai. In their absence it is really good to try out new talent so give youngsters a go in the tour match. Also its not like they're gonna miss any training afterall it is the Champions League. Also they are getting paid so much money, it would be just good manners to play for Chennai

Answer 5

When you folks start paying Hayden and Hussey's bills, you may decide where they should play (or not)

Till then it rests on the players to decide which contract they want to honour, depending on 'their' needs.

How is this discussion any less puerile than the ones that argue the merit of tendulkar over bradman?

Answer 6

It doesn't matter what IPL wants national duties comes first. Before the begaining of the tournament Modi and BCCI said that National duties for all players comes first now they are forcing them to -play for IPL instead for their Countries. If they forced Hussey and Hayden to play for IPL then I think Cricket Australia should not allow its players to play in IPL

Answer 7

The long and the short of this is that Country comes first

Answer 8

tour match

Answer 9

In the tour match. Otherwise, give them the boot! I am very serious about this, their first loyalty must be to their country, not that 'hit & giggle' game in India.

Answer 10

Well its up to Them But if They really Wanna get better they should take the tour because ipl is like a twenty20 match and is for fun but test is serious..

Hope i helped

Answer 11

Both play for their country with out considering IPL.

Answer 12

They 'Have' to play for Australia..

Yes they are contracted to the Superking's IPL team,but if i know those 2 guys they will say 'Sorry' Chennai,we have a match to play for Australia..

Yes it is going to come down to Team loyalties,but we all know how loyal our guys are..

I will be very surprised,and annoyed if the chose to play for Chennai instead of their country...

The only reson they chose to play in the IPL was because it did'nt clash with any of our matches,i am certain the boys will chose their love for their home team over a little IPL tournament...
