No one reckons Krejza is a chance on spinning Indian decks?

Handy with the bat also.

Not a snowballs chance in hell.

There are so many Indian spinners going around that in order to be picked up and played as an International, you have to be a pretty special spinner.

Swann didn't even get picked up at auction last time.

Hogg might as he is cheaper and has variations hardly anyone can read.

From my team (Delhi) alone, we have...

Travis Birt
James Hopes
Aaron Finch
Matthew Wade
David Warner

And we just traded Andrew McDonald to another side.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Bollinger, Mike Hussey, Bailey, White, Christian, Warner, Pomersbach, Lynn, Finch, McDonald, Hopes, Wade, Rimmington, S Marsh, Ryan Harris, Gilchrist, David Hussey, Brett Lee, J-Pat, Blizzard, Symonds, Tait, Watson, Ferguson, Faulkner, M Marsh, Paine.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Each franchise gets 2 mil to spend on three players. Does this mean the Royals get 3.8mil because of Warnie's retirement?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Ravi Jadeja is the big ticket item tonight...expect him to go for the full $2 million.

I hope Delhi pick up Hoggy and Andre Russell, who is a bit of a bargain at $50,000.

Oh, and does anybody want Sreesanth playing for them?

 

[Bucking Beads]

I always look forward to seeing the ridiculous amounts players get paid in this tournament. I thought there was a salary cap in this thing?

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Bollinger, Mike Hussey, Bailey, White, Christian, Warner, Pomersbach, Lynn, Finch, McDonald, Hopes, Wade, Rimmington, S Marsh, Ryan Harris, Gilchrist, David Hussey, Brett Lee, J-Pat, Blizzard, Symonds, Tait, Watson, Ferguson, Faulkner, M Marsh, Paine.

And Gilly. Don't know if he's playing this year. He was in good nick last year for Punjab.

That list is a wonderful example of how much having Aussie coaches helps our players get contracts. Especially lolworthy was the insane bidding war over Mr Flop himself, Dan Christian.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Just out of interest, what is happening with the broadcasting rights for IPL in Australia this year?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Brendon McCullum went to KKR for $900,000

Ravi Jadeja went for more than $2 million to CSK

Murali went to RCB for $220,000

Mahela Jayawardene went to DDD for $1.4 million

James Anderson unsold as expected

 

[Danger in Texas]

Pune not at auction.

Surprised McCullum went for so little.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Herschelle Gibbs bought by Mumbai for $50,000.

Darren Bravo, Owais Shah, Tamim Iqbal, Ian Bell, Ramnaresh Sarwan and Adrian Barath are unsold.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I don't understand how Mahela goes for over 1.4 million and Gibbs goes for 50k?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Glad Hodge got picked up. $475,000 for him. Very tidy

 

[Danger in Texas]

Brad Hodge goes to the Royals for $475,000. Wow.

Upul Tharanga unsold.

 

[Danger in Texas]

LAXMAN GOES UNSOLD.

This year's version of the Ganguly saga.

 

[aussierulesrules]

And Gilly. Don't know if he's playing this year. He was in good nick last year for Punjab.

That list is a wonderful example of how much having Aussie coaches helps our players get contracts. Especially lolworthy was the insane bidding war over Mr Flop himself, Dan Christian.

There was also no sign of Dirty Dirk on any of their lists and he's not up for auction today, that I'm aware of, so I'm not sure what's happening there. He may have been traded from one franny to another.

Brad Hodge goes to the Royals for $475,000. Wow.

Obviously Andrew Hilditch has nothing to do with these auctions!

 

[Danger in Texas]

Parthiv Patel gos to Deccan for $650,000.

Sri Lankan keeper Dinesh Chandimal goes to the Royals for $50,000. Smart buy for my team.

 

[Danger in Texas]

No bids for Steve Smith. Who's perfect now, Blessed?

 

[Doodlesweaver]

I don't understand how Mahela goes for over 1.4 million and Gibbs goes for 50k?

Gibbs was good this year for Scorchers but he has a very ordinary record at the IPL. He went unsold last year for that reason.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Mitchell Johnson goes to Mumbai for base price - 300k. Right now I'm about to vomit.

Andre Russel goes to Dehli for 450k. Teriffic athlete, he is.

Luke Wright unsold. Surprised by this.

And that's all the updating I'm going to do, folks.

 

[ajdude]

Interested to see how Kevin does here...

unsold, wat

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Johnson 300k yet Kevin O Brien unsold?

 

[ajdude]

my god haha

is there a live stream for this? there isn't one on the bcci website like there was last year

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Johnson 300k yet Kevin O Brien unsold?

So you think a player who has more ODI wickets in the sub-continent than anybody else at an average of 22 and who has an excellent T20 bowling record internationally shouldn't be bought, whereas a player who has had ONE good innings against a team that is recogniseably and notoriously shite in the sub-continent in short formats should be?
