Who would you recruit for the IPL in the January auction?

[KiWiNiNjA]

These large tables aren't exactly practical for whispered discussions.

 

[Garson007]

Wow, KKR bidding on Kallis was terrible.

 

[GGG]

Ross Taylor is in the form of his life, scored a couple of tons v India and yet goes unsold. Surely they need to drug test the bidders.

This isn't a Test auction. Taylor is nowhere near his power hitting best.

He went unsold in round 1 and I'm sure he'll get picked up round 2.

 

[Blocky]

Some of the selections just seem so stupid and I still for the life of me can't figure out the appeal of Glen Maxwell.

 

[Blocky]

Finally some degree of sense, no Guptill.

 

[Athlai]

Guptill. 7th best T20I batsman in the world and former #1.

Never picked in IPL.

WAG

 

[hendrix]

given the amount of yuck spin in the IPL, you'd think someone would pick up Prasanna for 50 ****ing lakh

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

All rounders time.

Have the bidders forgotten about Jimmy Neesham's Champions Trophy performance?

You get the feeling everyone is just waiting for the Corey Anderson Show.

 

[Flem274*]

i reckon corey will go cheaper than most nzers would predict. he's left his run too late.

guptill should have gone. taylor has been **** in all t20 for a while now so not surprising he hasn't gone yet. neesham should go.

 

[Athlai]

20 awesome blokes ignored in a row selling for SFA and Glenn bloody Maxwell goes for a million.

 

[Daemon]

Maxwell went for a million again?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeah, Anderson might have made more if he was before Maxwell. Might just be Delhi and Mumbai left in the market for Anderson. 300-450L?

 

[Zinzan]

Will anyone raise Mumbai's INR 450 lakh?


Edit: Anderson sold to Mumbai Indians for INR 450 lakh - $ 750,000

 

[Blocky]

Wow - so Maxwell goes for more than Anderson? That's just ridiculous.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

450L it is. That must be close to NZ$1mill

E: $900,000

 

[Athlai]

How do Mumbai still have money ffs?

 

[GGG]

Bah Mumbai, hope he gets a game.

 

[benchmark00]

Wow - so Maxwell goes for more than Anderson? That's just ridiculous.

fmd.

 

[Daemon]

If Anderson was earlier in the list he'd have definitely gone for more.
