IPL4 Auction

[Howsie]

whats NZ scehdule like during the IPL? are mccullum and vettori gonna miss alot of games or are the bidders crazy

Nup, they shouldn't miss any of the IPL this year anyway.

 

[Daemon]

Sree would be a pretty big gamble

 

[Mike5181]

475??? McCullum in the form of his life and they pay 2million for some average Indian player.

 

[Bun]

Kochi nets a bargain buy in McCullum!

Sreesanth 1

 

[Jacknife]

Gambhir and Sharma are not hacks at T20. They're not hacks at all.

This is so much smarter than spending milliosn on Pietersen and KP who do **** all when they play, and then piss off for international duty.

Taken in isolation, Gambhir and Sharma were very very smart buys.

Uthappa less so. But I'd have paid $1 mill for him. $2 mill is too much.

KP last year did pretty well, only played the 7 games but averages 59

 

[Cevno]

Kochi would want Sreesanth desperately.

Others should just bid to raise their price .

 

[Dissector]

BTW are these bids for each year or a total for the three years?

 

[cricman]

If Sree is gonna get a Million I guess Ishant will make more money this year as well

 

[Cevno]

475??? McCullum in the form of his life and they pay 2million for some average Indian player.

Don't think the Kiwi's like the English are available fully in the next 2 years.

 

[Cevno]

Kochi infact don't want Sreesanth it seems.

 

[Arjun]

Delhi has bought no one so far.

They have bid for one or 2 players only in any case.

They've lost their prime players as well as players from Delhi and catchment, which makes it difficult for them to assemble a more cohesive team.

 

[Craig]

So Jono, do you think Gambhir went for too much? If he got $1.8m, would you consider him undervalued? Not knocking the guy, make the most of it while you can.

 

[angad]

Sreesanth $900,000.

 

[Cevno]

Kochi infact don't want Sreesanth it seems.

And they jump in right at the end and get their man for 900k.

Was always gonna want the only international cricketer from Kerala. Marketing and all.

 

[morgieb]

Kochi picks up the local boy, Sreesanth.

 

[Bun]

BTW are these bids for each year or a total for the three years?

Those sums are payable for 1 year's service including CL, but the contrct period is for 2 years.

 

[outbreak]

Kochi ninja bid him

 

[Arjun]

Sreesanth $900,000.

Poor T20 player, comes from Kerala and has had a good run in the Tests in SA, so there's a trade-off for any team picking him.

 

[Cevno]

Chris Gayle?

Nobody wants?

 

[morgieb]

And they jump in right at the end and get their man for 900k.

Was always gonna want the only international cricketer from Kerala. Marketing and all.

Tinu Younahan much?

Gayle up. Would be funny if he was left alone, but he shouldn't be.
