No need for apologies at all.
Can't win them all!

Was there any reasoning given for him being dropped? Ridiculous decision

I think the "reasoning" went something like this.

Irfan Pathan was injured and they felt that they needed an all-rounder to replace him to retain the balance of the side. Andre Russell was the only available option. They decided that they needed Jayawardene, Warner and Taylor in the side therefore Morkel had to miss out because of the limit of four foreign players.
An awful decision, I think.

The whole thing seemed dodgy.  Should they not have batted first when won the toss? Sehwag coming in at 3. Sehwag also seemed to put in zero effort with a catch that came over his shoulder towards the end of the innings. Whole thing seemed a bit dodgy!

I think we're in danger of seeing ghosts where they don't exist but it was all rather unsatisfactory, particularly the points you make.

Why would anyone bet on the IPL , it's more corrupt than any other sporting event!

I don't think that's true. What are you basing that on?

Just opinion and that 5 people have been suspended, funny team selections, funny batting orders, funny batting tactics!
