IPL Auction

[NUFAN]

A little surprised that Ravi Rampaul was bought for $290,000.

I mean where is now? Is he injured or can't make the West Indies best ODI XI?

Dirk Nannes $600,000 has done very well for himself, he is a top bowler and hopefully he gets a bit more support compared to at the Thunder.

Bollinger will be gutted, I don't think I would have bid on him though.

Ramps is injured.

No one in their right mind would pay $100k for O'Keefe as a T20 player in India, no way.

100K might be a bit high a base price for him and I don't think he'd gun it in India, but "No one in their right mind would pay $100k for O'Keefe in India" is highly exaggerated itbt.

From today's action..

IPL 2013 auction : Who was sold to whom | Cricket News | Indian Premier League | ESPN Cricinfo

Jesse just $260K ? Mind boggling.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Guptill unsold at 100k while a guy who no-one had heard of until a week ago breaks 1 mill. Maxwell sure knows timing.

 

[sonnench]

There have been some really bad buys, and misses imo. Aussies seem to be making bank this auction, and for Maxwell to go for 1 million is crazy...would of been less surprised to see him be unsold for 20k. As much as I think Faulkner, Henriques and Pomersbach are decent players, they all went for way above their worth. The best buys have been Ryder and McCullum. Biggest misses for me are Dananjaya, Phangiso and de Kock, with all three only going at 20k, they were all absolute bargains.

 

[benchmark00]

Reckon Ryder was over priced. Looks absolute trash these days from the vision I've seen.

all the more reason why we're surprised at this result tbh

 

[NUFAN]

Ramps is injured.

Even more reason why I'm surprised that he went signed. Nah actually slightly unfair, big hitter and decent bowler at times.

Haha. Yeah like a million is heaps for the guy, but he is a pretty decent T20 Cricketer IMO.
Definitely figured he'd go for around the 400K mark.

Also, don't think NcCullum is that great a buy. He will hardly play IMO.

Reckon Ryder was over priced. Looks absolute trash these days from the vision I've seen.

Maybe in the longer forms, but he's perfect for t20's. his hand eye coordination is as good as it ever was, and he can still play all the shots. Good buy imo.

Poor guppy, turned down the ipl cash last year to focus on his intl career and now the ipl clubs won't touch him despite the fact that he hit a match winning t20 century a month ago.

 

[hendrix]

Do you think he should have went unsold or do you just disagree with his 1 million tag?

All I know is that before I'd ever heard anything about his batting I heard his self-proclaimed "x-factor"-ness.
I can just imagine him employing the Maeby Funke water cooler talk trick.
"Have you heard about that Maxwell fella? Prodigious talent. ATG. Get him in the team".

I watched his 50 the other day. He looked like a pinch hitter.

He could be an amazing talent, what has he actually done? Isn't he in the Aus side based on one innings?

Fixed

No. His produced some good performances in short form Cricket for a couple of years and is good in the field too. Made some useful runs while batting aggressively in Shield too. He's a good addition, but not worth a mill.

Morris up to 600K already, wow.

 

[Spikey]

morris, as far as I know, is not also known as the big show, so i'm ok with this

 

[Spikey]

good to see a local sixers boy make some cash. congrats to Senanayake! may IPL teams play you as badly as BBL teams

Yeah AWTAx2. Been in ridiculous T20 form too.
Feel for Guppy Prolly his dire ODI/Test run overshadowing his T20 awesomeness - can't think of any other reason tbh.

 

[Mike5181]

Despite the fact NMac feels like an ordinary player all the time, perhaps because of his average record in ODIs/FC etc. He's actually been a bloody good performer in T20Is. He's actually the 5th ranked bowler in the world in T20s. 40 wickets @ 18, ER of 6.4 + he's an awesome fielder, and a useful lower order batsman. 100k is a good buy considering guys like Maxwell went for a million.

 

[sonnench]

Wow was not expecting Morris to be picked up for that much!! I like the dude, and reckon he has a big future in all three formats for South Africa, but damn.

I know Dhoni is a HUGE fan of Albie Morkel, and Morris is quite similar, just better.
