IPL IPL Player Auction 2011

[STLIndian]

tbh, Dan Christian has been the best Aussie Domestic bowler this season in One Day cricket and been like South Australia's best bat as well. He hit an unbelievable knock against NSW, can't remember what he ended up scoring but he was going at a SR of about 200. (In OD cricket)

And bloody hell, Delhi is wasting all their money. Should have bought AB, I reckon. Anyway, following Bangalore this season.

Not saying he's not a good player, but Deccan don't have space for him.

Sangakkara (Captain, WK), Cameron White, and Steyn are all must-plays and that leaves only 1 open spot.

Unless they consistently play him instead of KP/Duminy, this was a waste of money.

(And if they DO play him, why'd they get KP? They could have spent that money for a sorely needed Indian batsmen.)

RR have 6 os players and only 1 local so far.

 

[Prithvi]

Hmm... good going!
Daniel Christian buy is something n00bish from DC! DC needed a batting AR, but putting 900k on him is too much IMO. It'd have been better, if we'd have saved up Dwayne Smith, by 100k or max he'd have been in bag for 200k or so.

Lol, Paul harris...

 

[SaiSrini]

Thank god, CSK gave up Balaji to KKR.

Umesh Yadav. who the fearsome tweak! WHO THE fearsome tweak is he?? Tait gets base price and these jack asses are going after some kid...

oh don't give me that 'it's INDIAN premier league'

 

[hedger_14]

yeah, McKay and Wade have been the biggest bargains today. Barely nothing payed for them and both are really good in T20/One Day cricket.

And obviously Monty Panesar and Paul Harris won't sell.

 

[Prithvi]

Deccan need a couple or good local batsmen.

I feel Saving up Suman and Venugopal Rao would be better.
And Roelof under hammer! I'd love to see him either in DC colors or RCB colors!

 

[Sartaj]

Deccan will probably play:
1.Sangakkara
2.White/KP/JPD
3.Christian
4.Steyn

Christian is now a definite starter because we need a 5th bowling option without compromising on batting depth.
Looks like a good buy now.

 

[McLOVIN]

Swann went unsold again. That's tweaked

 

[ferg512]

I don't really know why they are all wasting their money on the overseas players. I can understand on Indians as they form the base of your side. I agree, that there is no point buying Christian for that much when he will hardly get a game. They could have got Dwayne Smith who would do pretty much the same role.

I feel Saving up Suman and Venugopal Rao would be better.
And Roelof under hammer! I'd love to see him either in DC colors or RCB colors!

Ambati Rayudu FTW please!

 

[STLIndian]

Umesh Yadav. who the fling! WHO THE fling is he?? Tait gets base price and these jack asses are going after some kid...

oh don't give me that 'it's INDIAN premier league'

You can only play 4 foreign players. Duh.

Think before you post.

 

[Prithvi]

Ambati Rayudu FTW please!

He has bit of demand now! Adding salt to Injury, he has cut down all his relations with Hyderabad/Andhra Pradesh (He's playing for Baroda).
Hmm... addition of him would be excellent, but may cost us around 600-800k easily!

 

[riz7khan12]

hmm... o'keefe meh.
