IPL5 Auction

[mono]

wonder what happened to lasith malinga.

Murali went for very little as well. I wonder why?

 

[mono]

Gibbs & Chandimal went for way too cheap

 

[social]

Brad Hogg - $180,000 to Rajasthan Royals (base price $100,000)

IMO, Steve O'Keefe @ 100k represents much better value than Hogg

The guy can is a better fieldsman, infinitely better batsman and bowling is about equal

 

[sunilreddy]

Dan harris sold to DC for 70k
Kevon cooper - sold at 50k to Rajasthan royals
Faulkner at 190 k sold to kings xi

 

[sunilreddy]

Azhar Mahmood sold to kxip at 200k

 

[sunilreddy]

Thisara Perera now up. Contest between MI and DC.

 

[sunilreddy]

Thisara Perera now at 650k to mumbai Indians. Sold

 

[sunilreddy]

KKR gets de Lange at 50k

 

[Howe_zat]

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

I think the idea that the IPL is intended to be taken seriously ought to be put to bed.

Jadeja just went for ten times as much as Murali. This isn't a Cricket Chat draft, this is a business plan exercise.

 

[silentstriker]

Due to the way it's structured, Indian players will be valued above foreign counterparts - you can't look at the two figures equally.

 

[Daemon]

And the league is designed to benefit Indian cricketers anyways, the foreign players are there to attract crowds, as well as to increase the standards of play in the tournament, nothing else.

Moises Henriques is worth a lot more than 50K.

 

[Spikey]

no he isn't. as a depth signing he's worth maybe that, probably less.

 

[Dan]

Moises Henriques is worth a lot more than 50K.

Henriques should be paying an IPL side to let him play for them, not the other way around.

Most overrated guy going around Australian cricket, bar none.

 

[Daemon]

erm, wtf do MI see in Perera that isn't present in Franklin? 650k? gagf.

IMO, Steve O'Keefe @ 100k represents much better value than Hogg

God forbid the IPL teams should know anything about domestic cricket.

 

[weeman27bob]

I suspect you could make a fairly decent team out of the international players who weren't selected.

IMO, Steve O'Keefe @ 100k represents much better value than Hogg

No way on earth is O'Keefe a better fielder than Hogg IMO.

 

[Debris]

No way on earth is O'Keefe a better fielder than Hogg IMO.

You are thinking of Hogg 10 years ago, not the 40 year old geriatric he is now. His fielding has tailed off a lot, particularly in speed to the ball.

 

[Debris]

Henriques should be paying an IPL side to let him play for them, not the other way around.

Most overrated guy going around Australian cricket, bar none.

The IPL might be the one place where he is worth money. His batting seems to be better there than anywhere else.
