New strategy? Or comfortable enough with what they've got?
Back to doing f**k all for Australia now.
Very surprised Guptill didn't get any bids.

820,000 for James Faulkner or 89,000 for Dre Russ 
I hope Michael Slater hasn't started burning an effigy of Indian cricket in retaliation.
Ah, what? He's well and truly worth that in T20, especially now he has no Aussie commitments.
They will pretty hard to beat with a lineup like that

WHAT THE **** DID WE SPEND SO MUCH ON CHRIS MORRIS FOR WHAT THE ****
Yeah, that's a fairly handy group. Add in Starc to the squad and that's a very handy core.
The decision making behind the auction picks is quite fascinating.
Some teams go a long time without making a bid and when they make one, they bid hard.
A lot of planning must go into franchises short list of players to target.
This next session may see a lot of bargain buys, which may work out well for some franchises.

Delhi spend a shitload on Nair now. We waste money on spuds year after year and never learn.
This middle of the road cricketer costing us more than the likes of Steyn, Pietersen and Ishant Sharma.
40 times his base price. **** me.

Now Negi for millions. What are we even doing? He's not that good, from what I've seen in the past. Though he has made their World T20 squad I think, so he's clearly rated by those in India.
We've spent basically half our purse on Negi and Morris. That is s**t work.

Great timing for Negi with his T20 squad inclusion.

He's a handy South African all-rounder. I don't mind him as a player but we overpaid ridiculously.

Looks like the Usman conspiracy reaches even the IPL!
