News: IPL Auction - Results

[Blue Dimension]

Hey boys and girls, click here to follow the IPL auction:

http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/content/current/story/444986.html

Nobody bought Afridi for the base price of 250,000 but Pollard has reached 750,000 in the bidding. Insane. Afridi surely would be one of the first on your list?

Edit: Watch live footage HERE: http://www.ndtv.com/news/videos/vide...id=LIVE_BG24x7

[Blue Dimension]

Keiron Pollard (WI) - $750,000 - Silent bid goes to Mumbai
Wayne Parnell (SA) - $610,000 - Dehli
Shane Bond (NZ) - $750,000 - Silent auction goes to Kolkatta

[Chris25]

There seems to be a bit of uncertainty over the Pakistani players, probably why nobody bid for the expensive Afridi. I'd expect him to go at the end though, possibly at a lower price though. Nobody wanted Haddin or Swann either.

Good to see Pollard fetching some serious money though, the same goes for Parnell right now it looks like....

[Blue Dimension]

Brad Haddin did not sell for the base price of $250,000
Graeme Swann did not sell for the base price of $250,000
Shahid Afridi did not sell for the base price of $250,000
Mohammad Kaif who was bought out by Rajasthan did not sell for the base price of $100,000

Glad Mumbai got Pollard.

[The Falcon Strike]

parnell a surprise eh?

Thanks a bunch for that evdo, will put the link in the OP :thumbsu:

[BluesInTheSky]

Two silent bids, both could have gone for 800k

[wce_all_da_way]

This is fun to watch. Roach is going up a bit after a delayed start.

[The Falcon Strike]

$300k plus for roach?

surely they jest?

[Chris25]

parnell a surprise eh?

I would have paid more for Parnell than I would have for Bond....

Hopefully Roach can go for a bit here too.

[alfy!]

Bond getting the maximum is surprising, in my opinion.

[BluesInTheSky]

Roach could go for 500k

[wce_all_da_way]

He's gone over 500k! What is going on there?

[The Falcon Strike]

more money than sense!!

[BluesInTheSky]

Wow Roach is pushing 600k

[Blue Dimension]

Would have happily paid the maximum for Bond. He's all class and still has his zip and pace. On top of that he's no longer playing Test cricket so will be available for the majority of the IPL.

[BluesInTheSky]

Wow Roach, could be another tie break

[The Falcon Strike]

Tanvir is still to come - i would have thought he and Bollinger would be better gets!

Laughed when i saw damien martyn is listed to be auctioned!!

[Chris25]

It's all about youth and speed. Most of the teams already have young Indian batsmen and wicket-keepers. But there aren't a lot of these young quicks like Parnell and Roach, so it's not really that surprising they are fetching so much.

The interesting thing will be to see if any batsmen get picked up. Especially with guys like Tanvir, Naved, Aamer and Gul all to come.

[statsman74]

Ponting bought out by KKR, and also noticed in the pre-auction chat that Quiney and Pomersbach have been bought out too.

[evdo1706]

The spell against Ponting paid off big time..!!!

[OzBomber]

If Deccan can get Roach it would be a huge asset. Would be awesome if we could get him.

Edit: Got him.

[BluesInTheSky]

Too much for Roach? What do you think?

[The Falcon Strike]

$720k - that's a joke!!

[evdo1706]

Roach sold for $ 720 K to DC

[The Falcon Strike]

$200k for Morgan+ - and Haddin is passed in at $250k

Good one bangalore!!! another promising year coming up i see!!

[StFly]

720 to Deccan, probably overs in the money department, but when you're desperate for bowlers why not.

[Russian]

It's all about youth and speed.Youth really doesn't matter, everything gets reset after this season, which is also why nobody's paying $250k for 3 weeks of Brad Haddin.

[Blue Dimension]

Kemar Roach (WI) - $720,000 - Deccan
Eoin Morgan (Eng) - $220,000 - Bangalore

[OzBomber]

Brad Haddin did not sell for the base price of $250,000

Shahid Afridi did not sell for the base price of $250,000

These 2 are the ones that shock me most. Afridi is probably the best all rounder in the world.

Haddin is a very good batsmen and would do well in the IPL.

[BluesInTheSky]

What happens to the guys who dont get sold?

[Blue Dimension]

What happens to the guys who dont get sold?

Believe they get put up again at the end of the Auction.

[statsman74]

Thats the thing that people are missing, I think Ponting would have only been available for 4 of the 14 games, so I'd imagine there are plenty of other Aussies, such as Haddin, in the same boat.

Its the next tier down that might be able to play most of the tournament.

England in Bangladesh at the time of IPL3 as well I think.

[DamoESP]

What happens to the guys who dont get sold?
They probably get upset that no one wants to pay money for them :p

[BluesInTheSky]

Anderson will be a good buy. Could get 750k

[Blue Dimension]

These 2 are the ones that shock me most. Afridi is probably the best all rounder in the world.

Haddin is a very good batsmen and would do well in the IPL.

Quality keepers are worth their weight in gold. Haddin is majorly surprising. Afridi, well.. I can think of some reasons but can't believe not one franchise didn't have a nibble.

Will be interesting to see how much the other Pakistani's (i.e. Akmal's, Gul, Razzaq, etc) go for.

[evdo1706]

The reason for Shahid Afridi not getting a contract has more to do with the volatile relations between India and Pak rather than his cricketing abilities. KKR learned it the hard way.

[statsman74]

Anderson will be a good buy. Could get 750k

For 4 games?

[The Falcon Strike]

Believe they get put up again at the end of the Auction.

yep - think that's the case as well.

with so many players listed - and so few spots - your best putting the cheque book away until the end.

Not sure how these teams can make money - when they pay squibs so much money

I'd rather afridi at $250k to parnell.

Bond is the man - has a body that can probaby just take 4 overs of bowling

[The Falcon Strike]

For 4 games?

i'm pretty sure they only get paid pro-rata for the games they are available

[Blue Dimension]

Cannot believe Mcgrath's treatment in the IPL. They just didn't want to give him a go. When they did he dominated one game, went for a few in the second and then he was axed again. Now he's been bought out... he'd be one I'd be after (and he'd come cheap). Just have to take a look at the T20 he played against the Aussies to see what he's made of.

Anderson will be a good buy. Could get 750k

Wouldn't pay that amount of money for Anderson. Gul, Tanvir, Bollinger are all better options imo.

[BluesInTheSky]

Mumbai cant bid anymor.

[statsman74]

i'm pretty sure they only get paid pro-rata for the games they are available

That is true, but IPL teams are looking for certainty and being available for the whole tournament if possible....pro-rata payment will reduce the cost but its an international spot on their list which could be used more productively.

Just checked;

IPL : 12 March to 25 April

England v Bangladesh - start of tournament to last match on 24 March
WI v ZIM - only 12/3 and 14/3 matches
Aust in NZ - start of tournment to last match on 31 March

[Blue Dimension]

Jason Krejza did not sell for the base price of $50,000

[Spikey]

Bond getting the maximum is surprising, in my opinion.

One of the best bowlers in the world and is available for most, if not all, of the IPL season...

[StFly]

Cannot believe Mcgrath's treatment in the IPL. They just didn't want to give him a go. When they did he dominated one game, went for a few in the second and then he was axed again.

Wouldn't pay that amount of money for Anderson. Gul, Tanvir, Bollinger are all better options imo.

Tanvir I'd go for personally, but yeah that dumbfounded me how Delhi used Pidg, would have liked to see him and Nannes but I guess they value pizzaz more than a quality bowler.

[The Falcon Strike]

Anyone get the feeling the owners have got together and said - let's not buy any Pakistani's

[alfy!]

poor al hasan

[DamoESP]

Anyone get the feeling the owners have got together and said - let's not buy any Pakistani's
Looks that way.

[StFly]

Anyone get the feeling the owners have got together and said - let's not buy any Pakistani's

0-5 thus far with Umar Akmal, you'd be forgiven if the Pakistani players just up and left at this point. Although everyone is being passed through so maybe more a "hey 2 teams out, lets get everyone cheaply!" conspiracy.

[The Falcon Strike]

Tanvir is still to come - i would have thought he and Bollinger would be better gets!

Laughed when i saw damien martyn is listed to be auctioned!!


Go Marto!!!!!

Warne wants a drinking buddy!!!

[Blue Dimension]

Damien Martyn - $100,000 - Rajasthan Royals

[The Falcon Strike]

0-5 thus far with Umar Akmal, you'd be forgiven if the Pakistani players just up and left at this point. Although everyone is being passed through so maybe more a "hey 2 teams out, lets get everyone cheaply!" conspiracy.

they are not going to get them any cheaper than their base price though

[StFly]

WTF? Did not expect that...

[Blue Dimension]

poor al hasan

Would have been bought if Bangladesh were available one feels.

[statsman74]

Aussies remaining;

Australia: Adam Voges, Luke Pomersbach, Clint McKay, Graham Manou, Ben Laughlin

[alfy!]

Martyn! Good on him ha.

[The Falcon Strike]

still shaking my head over marto!!

[BluesInTheSky]

Aussies and Pakis not popular it seems.

[The Falcon Strike]

Voges now - you beauty!!

[Spikey]

There all season. For 100K it's not the worst buy. Russian (cause chances are you'll know) how he'd go in the ICL?

(Martyn)

[Yero]

Rajasthan get Voges for $50000.

[statsman74]

Brad Haddin - no bids

Edits : Bracken removed

[Spikey]

Bracken got bought out.

[peternorth]

has clarke decided to put his hat in the ring this year?

[RooBuoy]

How did Haddin not get picked up?

[alfy!]

Very interesting that the teams bypassed all Pakistani's.

[aussie1st]

Lol so Gul, Afridi and Rana 3 of the best players in T20 didn't get picked up.

[likka]

Cannot believe Mcgrath's treatment in the IPL.

Why not? There are limited international spots and Nannes bowled brilliantly and kept him out of the team. A couple of years down the track and he's too old.

Quality keepers are worth their weight in gold.

Explains why Haddin was passed on then... Tim Paine is a far better option, especially seeing the way he batted in Big Bash and he'd be available for entire tournament.

Very surprised he didn't nominate, but surely he'll be chased next year.

Very interesting that the teams bypassed all Pakistani's.

Be like Israeli or American teams drafting Iranian players... not gonna happen.

[Blue Dimension]

Why not? There are limited international spots and Nannes bowled brilliantly and kept him out of the team. A couple of years down the track and he's too old.

Mcgrath was harshly treated, and my thoughts were similar to those of the 10 commentary team during IPL 2. There may be limited international spots but there were times where Dehli's bowling attack looked brittle after Nannes, hence why Mcgrath was later given a short stint.

The thought process was that he hadn't played cricket and therefore was no longer good enough. He played 2 games in the IPL last season 1 beauty, 1 below average game and was dropped again.

He could have provided Dehli with much more than what they gave him an opportunity to do. He showed that he still had his mojo this summer against the Aussies.

[drexel]

Marto's back baby! hahaa

[likka]

Mcgrath was harshly treated

No he was not.

Each IPL team are only allowed to play 4 internationals each match. Dilshan and AB de Villiers were the preferred international batsmen (both T20 guns), whilst Nannes and Vettori were the preferred bowlers... and when Sehwag didn't play Warner usually got a gig.

Nannes probably the best quick in IPL 2 so they would have had to have dropped Vettori on wearing pitches to fit him into the attack, which was never going to happen.

When McGrath played in IPL 1 i was only a couple of months after he retired. Another 12 months down the track and he would have dropped quite a bit of zip, which is very noticeable when you've got a bloke like Nannes taking bags of wickets at express pace, breaking helmets in the process.

He may have been able to do more for another franchise, but there injury aside there was not a spot for him in the Delhi XI.

[Close to 17]

Interesting that India bangs on about racism and they shun all Pakistanis

[HSSB]

Wouldn't waste my money on buying an Australian Internation when they're going only be able to play a few games. Lehman coaches Deccan doesn't he?

[The Falcon Strike]

Interesting that India bangs on about racism and they shun all Pakistanis

This is what would be going through their mind:

* Visa issues - are they going to be allowed in the country
* It's a business - will pakistan players attract an indian audience
* Can you be sure they won't try and throw a match?

I can understand the rationale

[Dixie Flatline]

Bring out the effigies, boys, there's a burnin' to be done!

http://www.cricinfo.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/113200/113238.2.jpg

[Spikey]

What does the use of the Tasmanian Devil as the head symbolise?

[Ill Chicken]

It gives the effigy that appearance of agony from burning to death.
