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

[King Pietersen]

Dernbach unsold. Clearly fixed.

What's worse is Ravi Bopara going unsold. Definitely fixed. Those two should clearly have been multi-million dollar signings.

...

Franklin gets no bid. This is ****ing ridiculous.

What? And you have no problems with Taylor not getting picked?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

lol kiwis getting their panties in a bunch over the ipl auction. It's cute.

tend to favour the G-string tbh

 

[straw man]

Surprise of the week that M. Henry picked up - should be a great experience and surely 'only' $50k wouldn't go astray either.

Fleming buying his business partner in McCullum is hilarious. When your conflicts of interest are conspicuous even amongst a collection of Indian moguls it might be time for a rethink.

 

[Days of Grace]

Yeah, I mean, it's not like McCullum's a proven t20 player or anything.

 

[straw man]

That's not the point. If there's a conflict of interest the person involved is likely to have mixed motivations that do not align with the role they're supposed to be performing at the time, and to be prudent they should therefore abstain from being involved in related decision-making. If CSK are happy to have Fleming not abstain then that's their business, however I can still make jokes about it being a bad look.

 

[ohnoitsyou]

Who really cares, its not as if he was going for millions. Fleming said they were possible after McCullum, and for that price who wouldn't?

 

[Blocky]

Considering he's one of the top run scorers in T20, also has one of the highest average multiplied by strike rate scores of any cricketer (36.27 at T20I and 32.39 in T20 at a strike rate of 135) - it's a surprise to me that he didn't go for big money.

Seems to me you've got to be a ****ty Australian domestic player to get contracts like that.

[OverratedSanity]

Philander has got to get sold tomorrow. Will be glorious to see **** indian players mis-hit him for sixes

 

[benchmark00]

If dermo Abbott gets picked up...

 

[ajdude]

wtf is happening with this live stream

 

[Spikey]

was muirhead at the minimum price? if so i find it surprising somebody didn't buy him

 

[benchmark00]

Carn Benny Dunk.

 

[Athlai]

Redhills goes for 20 bucks.

 

[benchmark00]

Australia's Ben Dunk, the player of the BBL, base price INR 20 lakh. No bids for him. Unsold.by George Binoy 4:07 PM

[benchmark00]

Such poor recruiting.

 

[benchmark00]

Dermo Abbott should be coming up soon.
