IPL4 Auction

[Migara]

So who are the big names coming up? Murali and Ojha would be in high demand I would imagine.

Murali going as an uncapped Indian player because of citizenship. Any body taking that route?

 

[jashan83]

No one picked up Gayle. wtf. Punjab could have picked him up.

 

[Spikey]

yeah but these guys are being bought for 3 seasons aren't they? Not just this one

 

[Cevno]

Lara is up too.

 

[Jono]

TEC you still live in Bangalore?

Is Dave Warner going to be for auction this time round? If so, he should get some decent money since he is basically a specialist in this form of the game.

 

[Cevno]

'It's understood from the franchises that Chris Gayle was available only for two weeks of the IPL in 2011 and that's why the teams didn't want to bid for him.'

West indies and English players seem a no go for that reason.

English players also have to pay double about 40 % tax in England and 15 % in India or something, plus have to reimburse their counties too.

Plus there are not certainties about their availability ,so hence the low bid for Piertesen.

 

[Cevno]

I wonder what Sachin would have went for in this auction had he not been retained?

3 million certainly,it would seem.

I think he will be getting paid that in any case by Mumbai.

 

[brockley]

Not really king pin,their will be 8 sides,2/3 overseas players,but the rest of it is still being worked out.
Sponsers can buy stakes up to 49 % in a side.
More a lower form of ipl,but the standard is very high,so don't expect the ipl dropsies in the field it is famous for.

Pretty sure England players are available for the whole series, if not most of it.

It is still not certain the counties and ECB will let them go ,and want hefty compensations.

 

[Cevno]

Pathan Family 4 million dollars per year richer today.

Must be celebrating.

 

[brockley]

IPL goes to mid june the srilanka series is in may.

 

[jashan83]

Someone there are players from 11 teams in for Auction. Which non test players are there for Auction? And plus with no ****'stani players that means 2.

Indians are happy with no ****'stani players for auction. Who knows where that money ends

 

[Cevno]

IPL goes to mid june the srilanka series is in may.

That would somewhat explain it.

West Indies and English players would be no goes it seems.

There are problems in future years with Newzealand players too.

 

[tooextracool]

Think Yardy, Hussey and Alviro Pietersen might surprise a few in addition to the likes of Vijay and Karthik.

 

[tooextracool]

TEC you still live in Bangalore?

been all over the place lately but spent more years there than anywhere else.

 

[Cevno]

Vijay has been retained by Chennai already.

 

[morgieb]

Think Yardy, Hussey and Alviro Pietersen might surprise a few in addition to the likes of Vijay and Karthik.

Vijay got retained by CSK iirc.

 

[Cevno]

Sidhartha Mallya saying they look at Virat Kohli as a future captain.

Maybe even this year.

Jono would be happy.
