IPL Player Auction

[kenrosewall]

Here's where I read it:

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com..._auction_on_Wednesday/articleshow/2796608.cms

'The auction will not be broadcast live since Sony is the exclusive broadcaster. However, Sony will release edited highlights of the auction to the media as breaking news at the end of each segment of the auction.'

I recon Warne will go the highest- he is a Celebrity afterall.

 

[jefffff34]

How many segments are there going to be?

 

[statsman74]

Why is Fleming worth more than Symonds and Hussey?

My guess is that Fleming will be available for all matches for all 3 years, whereas the other two will be restricted at some point.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Maybe so but the IPL is about selling stadiums, and merchandise, not about how many games player X will play

Thats very true what price players will bring will be very depenant on whether manager/owners want a winning team or a marketable team.

Me thinks that this will be the best chance of keeping up to date as the Auction happens!!!

Well bugger me if I can find anything on the internet suggesting when we can expect to hear any results from the auction.

Yeh the IPL website is useless. I at least thought they would of had the auction details on there and kept us up to date but its pretty unorganised.

 

[Jaymin]

They said on SEN that the auction is likely to take 12 hours.

 

[kenrosewall]

DJ Hussey is just in the process of assuring he gets top dollar- 76 no off 51 balls

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Is Justin Langer taking the piss? What's his name doing there? I heard Greg Blewett also wanted to nominate (but obviously didn't make it). That sure made be giggle.

 

[Blue Red and Gold]

Boof has put his name up too

 

[kenrosewall]

David Hussey's price tag just doubled- 106no off 61 balls

 

[Willow_2000]

WTH, Hussey must of just made 30 runs off 10 odd balls lol

 

[Banga19]

So does anyone know when we are likely to hear anything about the auctions?

Be interesting to see how he goes after being out of the game for a while. Good value on Murali I would of thought.

Dhoni maybe a bit over the top but I suppose he would be highly marketable over in India.

 

[stmookeyj]

Chennai has spent 2.1 mil on 2 players (Dhoni, Murali). Jeepers they'll be looking at the cheap end of the market now I assume.

As a Hyderabad supporter, I'm a little disappointed in getting Gilly, I wanted Dhoni!

 

[Willow_2000]

I would rather Gilly than Dhoni!

 

[jimmy_clement#8]

That blog has no mention of Jayawardena, where you gitting your info from Saintbot?

 

[notting18]

Is Jaipur the Lachlan Murdoch part-owned franchise? No surprise they signed Warne in that case.
