Road to IPL 2009.

holy ****

At least Tyron has form in 20/20.

Mortaza has been playing international cricket for a number of years and has done nothing of any note. Got a terrible 20/20 record as well. Kolkata apparently wanted some pace in their attack but his not even that quick, Taylor is quicker (and better of course).

Good for him though. Sets him up for life.

Don't want to splash the cash on a guy whose form is just built upon six months work...

Say what you will about JP and his price but his dominated in first class cricket and South African domestic cricket for a number of years.

Something like $ 50,000 for Klinger won't be the worst punt ever would it, and as for JP, given the kind of money likes of Henderson and Mortaza are getting, now i feel he should have also got more money than what he has got

 

[TT Boy]

George Bailey $50,000 to Chennai.

 

[TT Boy]

No takers for Yusuf Abdulla, Daniel Harris, Kemar Roach. Chucker Bird, Michael Dighton, Michael Hill and Brett Geeves.

 

[Edged&Taken]

Have they gone nuts, crazy price for him.

It was Buchanan bidding for the Knightriders

As I said, it's an auction.
You don't waste money, even if it's $50,000, until you have got the players you are after.

For example, Bangalore got KP early, so they could then go after guys for smaller amounts.

 

[chaminda_00]

George Bailey $50,000 to Chennai.

So so gun. If we pick up Hasan later it going to NSW who.

 

[TT Boy]

Only Mumbai and Punjab have room at the inn.

 

[pup11]

It's an auction.
If more than one team wants a player, then the price will be driven up. If not, then they become relative steals.

I know that, but why would any of the teams want players like these at such huge prices, when likes of Mills or Collingwood who are much better players than Mortaza or Henderson are not even getting one-foruth of what they getting, its crazy...

 

[TT Boy]

Taylor to Punjab for $150,000.

Mumbai don't want to do any more business. Auction over.

 

[pup11]

No takers for Yusuf Abdulla, Daniel Harris, Kemar Roach. Chucker Bird, Michael Dighton, Michael Hill and Brett Geeves.

Such a shame, Royals should have either gone for Geeves or Abdulla, they have no slots left now, do they.

Btw is Brad Haddin still unsold?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Taylor to Punjab for $150,000.

Another steal.

 

[chaminda_00]

Mumbai don't want to do any more business. Auction over.

They could have got Hasan for 50k. What a bunch of tools.

 

[TT Boy]

Such a shame, Royals should have either gone for Geeves or Abdulla, they have no slots left now, do they.

Btw is Brad Haddin still unsold?

Yeah.

 

[Precambrian]

Can anyone summarise the buys team-wise with prices. Will be thankful and a margarita.

 

[TT Boy]

Another steal.

If Lee can get back to fitness and form, he would be a good opening pair.

 

[Precambrian]

BJ Haddin unsold? Good good.

Shakib Might as well pick him in the next round.

 

[pup11]

Yeah.

Lol...!!

He would feeling like **** atm, and i am 100% positive about that!!

 

[TT Boy]

Surprised there were no takers for Stuart Clark but maybe his elbow injury put pay to any deal. It would be risky signing someone up who has been injured for the whole summer and there are no guarantees about how he will shape up when he does comeback.
