IPL IPL Player Auction 2011

[0601731]

Pathetic auction, though I am quite happy with the way the teams now look.
Lalit Modi, would have never allowed such an auction, it lingered on for a long long time.

My observations :
1. If the uncapped Indian players were not in the auction list, then, why were the uncapped players from Australia and England put in the auction list ?

2. English players were a bit over-priced. Its no wonder that they didnt fetch many bids. $400,000 for a few Englishmen who havent played in India,is quite high.

I agree, its absolutely ridiculous not to have Indian first class players in the auction. I cant believe that someone like Venugopal Rao would end up getting a much higher package than guys like Suman,Rayudu and Pandey.

The reason behind not having Uncapped players in the Auction is to discourage young players from becoming T-20 specialists, and make them work for an India Cap before they can enjoy IPL Spoils.

Read that off CW. Makes sense.

Can't help but feel Ganguly deserved better.

I seriously think Gayle's case is some conspiracy because of his attitude toward his board, but again Bravo got picked.

I think this is pretty solid. WICB told BCCI not to buy him.

If it is because of that, then thats a very good step. Or there would have been many yuvi's in the making

Gayle didnt get sold, thats ridiculous

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Not really. Gayle will only be available for 2 weeks or something. That's 200K per week. Not worth it.

Same for Bravo, right?

Ganguly can still be signed by a team in the case of an individual deal, is it?

 

[AbhishekS]

And can anyone provide a link for the final squads of each side?

 

[Rohit Doshi]

Go to IPL on Cricinfo and check their squad it's updated

Thanks a lot. I wanted to check out Delhi's squad and there were no updates on iplt20.com. The team's official site (delhidaredevils.com) also didn't update the squad.

Thanks again!

Same for Bravo, right?

I would assume so.

Don't they get the salaray on a pro-rota basis or something? So if he was only available for 2 weeks he would only get that amount of his salary rather than the whole amount?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Don't know. Thought they get paid the full amount regardless?
