Decided to start this thread with the mindboggling news that Delhi have cut Travis Head, a bargain basement buy, just as he is getting his international colours/exposure and has been in ripping form in the tournament. If somebody could explain this piece of shit organisation to me, I'd love to hear it. Is tipped to now go for a fairly big price in the auction...
 
Perhaps he said that he would be happy to sit out the competition if he wasn't going to get paid his value, so they cut him with a view to resigning him on more cash.
Hmm, I doubt it. Doesn't seem like the kind of demand a developing player would make.

He was contracted, if he said something like that I'd just make him stay and see it out the rest of his current contract for chips. He performs, we'll give him more. Has to earn it first.

The new teams logo and name is so so bad.

Bloke who bought the license owns a company called the RP Sanjiv Goenka Group.

I guess it was basically just here are some words that start with RPSG...

I thought they already had the auction or was that just some cut off date for whether teams wanted to retain current players. I'm sure I heard the commentators on 10 reading out contract values at some stage of the big bash.

The auction is on the 6th.

What you probably heard was the Pune team and the Rajkot team being able at pick fife players from the Chennai and Rajathan franchises as retainer players. All the other teams have also picked which players they'd like to retain for the season and transfers between clubs have just come to an end.

Delhi, with the biggest purse, didn't buy any of the marquee players. Interesting.
Shane Watson sells for $1.98 million.

This now ends the argument about whether Indians know anything about either cricket, or the value of money.
He's worth every cent of that in the IPL.
