IPL5 Auction

[Shri]

Mumbai pick up Johnson for his base price, not bad.

Either Tsotsobe's turn isn't up yet, or the auctioneers are ****ing retards.

Tsotsobe was unsold.

 

[Shri]

The IPL has been the equivalent of winning the lottery for Indian players as mind-boggling figures continue to get paid to very, very average local players

The good foreign players have been retained and the best earn ****loads. The local players are more valuable as you can accommodate 7 in a side compared to 4 foreigners.

[Spikey]

Don't all the players who get passed over get put back up for sale for 20K at the end of the auction?

 

[Daemon]

Tsotsobe was going at $50k ffs! How could you not buy him??!!

 

[Prince EWS]

Don't all the players who get passed over get put back up for sale for 20K at the end of the auction?

Only if they want to, I'm pretty sure.

 

[ankitj]

Ha! Why should Vinay Kumar want to reflect back on the Aus test series?

 

[ankitj]

And after the $2 million deal, can Ravindra Jadeja please retire from international cricket? One good thing that can result from IPL for Indian cricket.

 

[Daemon]

Sunil Narine - $700,000 to Kolkata Knight Riders (base price $50,000)

Young unproven LO specialist settled for life, just like that. Pretty hard to resist concentrating on T20 with money like that flying around.

 

[kingkallis]

Owais Shah remained unsold? WOW!

Brendon Taylor, Tsotsobe could have been decent picks as well.

[Spikey]

if the ipl wants to be taken seriously they should force all teams to field two foreign fast bowlers so as to stop **** like that

He only gets $950k because that was his previous salary. The rest goes to the BCCI.

 

[ganeshran]

Vinay Kumar's price is ridiculous. Should have been taken at base price

 

[G.I.Joe]

Vinay Kumar
