Some Live News from Auction

Hey ... just heard about this in the News about which players have been bought by whom, I'm not sure about the values but Dhoni was the most expensive at $1.5Million:

Shane Warne : Jaipur
MS Dhoni : Chennai
Muralidharan : Chennai
Adam Gilchrist : Hyderabad
Shohaib Akhtar : Kolkota
Jayawardene : Mohali


No purchases by Mumbai and Delhi ... let's see what they do

1.5 million! Dear lord!

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, 1.5mill!?

Dhoni the Million Dollar Player he's worth 1/5th of team

Well, they paid 1/5 of the value for him. Whether he's worth it will depend on how he goes I suppose.

Amazing coin for these guys, isn't it? Imagine the dough blokes like Botham, Imran, Keith Miller & Sobers would have gotten for this sort of caper.

 

[ayush_17]

Warnie was relatively quite cheap ... $450,000 second lowest to Akhtar for $425,00

 

[Protean]

Gilchrist second highest so far at $700 000.

Just covers his phone bill.

I just heard of it now. Shah Rukh Khan (for those who don't know, he's an iconic film actor here), owner of the Kolkata team, had even spoken to Shoaib Akhtar with the hope of getting him in his team.

How did Jayawardene get ahead of Sangakkara, Lee and Ponting?

 

[Arjun]

Nicknames: Chennai Superkings (they copied an ICL name! how sad!), Delhi Daredevils, so far on the screens. There's a lot of action out here.

EDIT: Laxman is not an 'icon'.

 

[ayush_17]

I heard that Ponting and Symonds quit ... how true is that ?

 

[sideshowtim]

Super Kings is an absolutely awful nickname. Why Super Kings? Why not just Kings?

 

[sideshowtim]

I heard that Ponting and Symonds quit ... how true is that ?

Where'd you hear this? It's not true as far as I know.

 

[chaminda_00]

Haha whoever gets Ishant Sharma at 74 will be over the moon.

 

[ayush_17]

Where'd you hear this? It's not true as far as I know.

Indian news channel ... haven't heard it anywhere else, so probably just BS
