http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Paul-Fleming-c91190 points out fatigue as the cause of CSK’s defeat – Cricket News Update
Former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 on Tuesday - which omitted the former Champions League
(CL) Twenty20 (T20) title winners from the competition.
“In terms of their form and what they have come up, there is an element of fatigue. No doubt that they are playing a lot of cricket as a lot of other players,” said Fleming.
“But playing with players with fatigue is part and parcel of the deal for an IPL coach. They have come through a tough tour and if you are looking for form, Twenty20 does not give you a lot of time to adjust to Indian conditions,” the Coach added.
During his post-match comments, Fleming also included http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
The Coach further highlighted the lack of adaptability within the players, citing that the two had previously been engaged on the English pitches, which serve with a completely different setting compared to those in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
During Tuesday’s bout, Fleming’s squad was hammered with an imposing chase of 202 runs by the New South Wales batters, thanks to the team’s opening batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301, who retained an unbeaten performance throughout the innings and whacked the tournament’s
highest sum of 135 off 69 deliveries.
As for Chennai’s response, the team took on the mark with a worthy start, but to their despair, all was wasted after the team suffered a consecutive loss of wickets, right till the final player in the 19th over, and fell 46 runs short of the target.
Fleming also admitted that his team had to face a massive target by the Aussie outfit, which normally does not come as an easy task under T20 cricket.
The team had no other choice but to go with hard knocks which resulted the Chennai Super Kings to suffer a disappointing crumble on its line-up.
