Poll coming up...

 

[chaminda_00]

Mendis was brought for pretty cheap, would looking to transfer him if I owned a club.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Sreesanth for a mil?

I reckon I could crack 100K if that's the case. Ridiculous.

 

[sanga1337]

Marsh out of those. Still a bargain at 55,000. Sreesanth is rediculously overpriced at 1 million . Wouldn't spend more than 300,000 on him.

 

[Burgey]

Sreesanth for $1 million is a joke.

I'd buy Alan Stanford. I'm sure the BCCI would like to as well.

 

[four_or_six]

I reckon I could find a few people who'd club together to have Shane Watson for a few weeks for $200 000.

 

[Spinksy]

I'd say KP (750k) for sure, great buy.

Would be tempeted to buy Shane Watson and Shaun Marsh both are quality imo, so would be tempted to buy them, btw is Sree Santh' price tag a joke.

Agreed, he is good, but not wroth 1mil ffs.

Sreesanth for $1 million is a joke.

A price tag so high it almost makes me cry.

 

[pup11]

Btw are the likes Clarke, Johnson, Haddin along with the English players likely to be the part of the IPL auctions this time around??

And secondly are the Royals crazy to auction all the premium players in one go, and i Sree Santh is overpriced then Watson and Marsh are ridiculously under-priced after taking into account the way both played in last IPL season.

 

[pup11]

A price tag so high it almost makes me cry.

Especially considering a guy like Bracks being one of the best Odi bowlers in the world won't even get half of that.

 

[Rickripper]

Shaun Marsh is of course value for money, as is Watson. But KP, you can't beat the entertainment value.

I don't think these franchises give a **** about entertainment as long as the player wins them games, and btw watching Watson' troll like wicket-taking celebrations and Marsh' eye-catching strokeplay also has its own entertainment value.

 

[Rickripper]

True, but I take it that for this hypothetical question, money is no object. If it was, I'd sign the likes of Tyron Henderson and Michael Carberry.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

With those prices, has to be Marsh surely.

 

[PhoenixFire]

It's a joke that you can get KP and Watson for less than the price of Sreesanth alone.

 

[four_or_six]

They're only estimated prices, out of the newspaper article.

 

[bryce]

Watson - he's two top class 20/20 players in one. He would be my first pick, but yeah Mendis would be well worth it too

 

[morgieb]

KP & Shane Warne, obv.
Mendis, Watson & Marsh would be great value, too.
