IPL IPL Player Auction 2011

wow Nathan McCullum??

 

[SaiSrini]

Its not about class. When did T20 become about class? Its about the impact your make for your team, the potential that you give for a T20, etc. It also depends on other issues as availability, etc.

As the auctioneer remarks - Nathan McCullum is a utility player.

 

[ferg512]

I don't give a ████ to the IPl now. I am not going to bother to see the rest of the auction because classy players are not taken all because the franchise owners don't know even the spelling of cricket

What do you expect?? Twenty20 isn't really cricket. I'm not sure Swann and Anderson really care anyway, an Ashes win much more important.

Well, KP and Broad are part of the Eng. squad too. So Swann not even getting 1 bid is weird...

yeah they pretty much got their A.. whipped when they toured India in 08 and were white washed 5-0

Lets see this time though . Indians seem to have a tremendous record in major tourneys .

ICC WC 2007 : India thrashed by Bangaldesh . England finish 5th
ICC World t20 2009 : India deepshited by england in the Super 8s
England crash out in the worst possible manner (flinging D/L 9 overs match VS WI )
ICC World t20 2010 : Indians ***** in Super 8s once again . England the world champs .
ICC Champions Trophy 2009 : Indians crash out to the likes of pakistan in the 1st round
England lose out to eventual champions Australia in Semis

So i guess even a 3rd string england side should see off india comfortably

So its basically a walk over from India's point of view.

Not the time for country-biased petty fights.

save your purse for Pandey girl.

 

[Dipak]

T20 WC07 win was a fluke. Special thanks to the IPL for getting me against India

----------

England have proved themselves in the Ashes with 3 innings win . India can never think of that with bangladesh also...Anyways /end discussion

Its IPL not EPL. And English players dont even like IPL so stop whining as I said earlier.

You are getting so emotionally worked up for your favorite England players. Calm down!

 

[relentless_rock]

Pretty sure there are availability issues with English players, and that's why Anderson and Swann weren't picked.

The more puzzling non-bid is the one for Murali Kartik. Who is probably one of the better spinners in the country. Sigh.

Too many uncapped left-arm orthodox spinner options available. They'll prolly be dirt cheap thtsy no bids for Kartik

It just shows how desperately they want their players in IPL and yet hate IPL.

What do you expect when high time match winners like swann fail to earn a contract ?? I accept i got emotional when jimmy and luke wright missed out . But seriously i cant take the failure of swann
