Looks like everyone has spent their money and not much left or any places left. Though Dwayne Smith got picked up in this round. Deccan Chargers must have had him lined up.

Haha, Dwayne Smith bought, but Shakib, Noffke and Taylor left untouched. Pathetic.

Taylor wouldn't care, he already is a millionaire.

No surprises to see all those Australians not being signed up. Jon Moss hasn't even played recently, has he? He should look to the ICL...

Shakib was overrated for mine. He doesn't have much form as a quick firing batsman, does a decent job rebuilding the ship for a poor side and his bowling is more suited to test cricket, unless his bowling 4 overs against Zim on square turners. Ray Price would be a better bet. :)

"Many reckon that Sri Lanka's Prasanna Jayawardene is the best wicketkeeper on the circuit these days but he too did not attract any bids. "

Well he can't bat, so of course his not going to get any bids.

Guess blokes like Taylor and Shakib and maybe even Ashraful will get signed after the auction at a scaled down price..

Ditch one slogger, Afridi and bring in an even worse slogger who bowls pies, Smith. Good stuff.

Decent fielder though...

International Coach
bought by mallya -that is funny imo.hope ryder kicked the habit by then.
Ryder can drink all he wants now, free of cost, he should be a happy man..:ph34r:

Tyron Henderson goes to Rajasthan for $650,000
This is dire, Royals wasted a lot of money on a pretty average player, just because he has done well in the county circuit hardly means he is going to do the same against international players.

Seriously likes of Hendrson and Duminy going at such astronomic prices and people are saying Clarke is over-priced...!!

I thought Taylor would be a cert considering his 20/20 record and his got marketable pace. He can hit a long ball as well.
