Indian Premier League 2023 March 31- May 28

In what *en universe is spencer Johnson worth more than Trav Head ??

******ed

Pretty simple if you get the IPL. As good as Head is, there’s a LOT of Indian opening bats. There are very few genuine express left armers.

Absolutely madness that Starc goes for more than Head let alone 3x more

Opening bad, who can bowl spin and field well. Give me a 60 off 35 batsmen over 4 overs of left arm quick any day of the week.

Plenty of Indian bats. Seems bowlers are harder to find and hence more valuable.

Curiously how much is that per pie for Starc....lol.

Good lists. I’ve been supporting Mumbai for the last few seasons because of the Aussie contingent. Toss up now between them and Bangalore for me given the likely playing XIs.

Dhoni is 43 next year. Is his place on a cricket roster even justified on anything other than prior reputation?

 

[corbies]

Hoping Behrendorff tears it up this year. He deserves more than his 135k salary that he's getting.

Got plenty of wickets last season but went at over 9 an over.

Reputation and brand value I assume. He is well past it but his captaincy and being around a team is worth a bit.

We have to remember Chennai won the title last season too, so possibly it be a case of him now deciding when to hang the boots?

 

[akkaps]

The franchise want him to stay on in some sort of mentor capacity after retirement as well

Hardik Pandya uncertain for IPL due to injury.
The flow on affect of picking another captain and then filling that hole within the side of MI

Weird they would pay all that money for a guy who is still injured. Does the ipl not do medical before trades lol
