They will do when they draft the kids and local players in.

Hyderabad better sign some quality youngsters and local players or they are toast. Only 3 out of the current 11 are Indian.

OK, Glenn McGrath and Michael Hussey didn't get picked while Afridi makes 500k. The apocalypse is near.
Though I think a large amount of fault lies with CA and their 2 Aussies-per-team rule.

Demand and supply .
All those players who had more franchisees bidding for them have gone for more.It was a open auction.

McGrath no longer has a CSA contract, he is a free agent.

While Ponting, one of the finest batsmen in history is worth more than two times less than an unproven stick thin 19 year old fast bowler.

Yeah looking at all Australians and many who are not contracted players not picked yet. Im sure it only 2 Australians per team, regardless of whether they have a contract or not.

Yes, he automatically makes 15% higher than the next highest.
Good point, though what about the two year limit? Isn't he considered a player from Australia for two years after retirement?
If not, then the apocalypse isn't near - it's here.

Just hoping BSKYB secure the UK TV coverage.

Well, you'd expect the Indians to make more money considering their appeal with the public. Plus, this isn't Test cricket, and Symonds (not exactly loved in India) made out with 1.35 million.

It is like that in most sports though, the best players don't always earn the most money.

Who the Indian fans (you know, the ones who will be paying for the tickets) want to go watch, and represent their region. This isn't about you or Australian fans, I know that's hard for you to understand or accept. This is an Indian tournament, they are the ones bidding, and the public are the ones catered too.
And **** I love Laxman, turns down icon status so his team can have a higher salary cap. Absolute legend.
By the way, love what this tournament is doing to promote India the country as well. Many people down here wouldn't know the capital of India, and I already know some of them telling me how they want Hyderabad to win for the Gilly/Symo combo.
