IPL IPL Player Auction 2011

are you kidding me? how does armstrong expect to be in an ipl team without playing any sort of mens grade cricket?

 

[SaiSrini]

Do the uncapped players get to choose their teams instead of the teams choosing them (heard something of that sort somewhere)?

Not exactly sure how it works. Would like to know about that.

 

[riz7khan12]

omg finally! although i didn't think thomas would go.

 

[SaiSrini]

Chennai's strategy is just too straightforward. They dont mind taking back even the ordinary players of the last season just because we were the champions. Cant see why they picked back Joginder Sharma, Sudeep Tyagi, George Bailey, etc.

Sudeep Tyagi because they couldn't get Balaji and George Bailey because he might even be asked to open with Vijay because we miss Parthiv.

But why did they go for Jogi ?!?

Rilee rossouw to bangalore for $20 000, that's a steal.

Who is Nuwan Pradeep?

Who is Nuwan Pradeep?

I've never heard of him, but he picks up a contract ahead of countess other players I have heard of.

Deccan's bought Chris Lynn. Just don't understand what these teams are doing. Still can't believe nobody took Gayle though.

 

[riz7khan12]

i think that was a mistake by the lady, she said no then yes

 

[stefan]

Faf du plessis to chennai for $120 000. Good buy, really talented batsmen,good fielder and can bowl some legspin.

 

[ferg512]

First of all who the heck is Chris Lynn?? And who the heck are these other guys being auctioned?? Surely there would have been a much more productive way of doing it than this.

 

[Akash00]

Faf du Plessis

Chennai have bought him for $ 120,000 and with him they have finished buying their overseas quota.

 

[Sartaj]

Murali Kartik was one of the best performers last season and picked up 6 wickets against Australia in an ODI,the last time he played for India in 2008 (IIRC).
He and Gayle must have done something ugly.
Gayle was involved in a strip dance with Sherlyn Chopra last season,but Kartik (the way he celebrates a wicket was offensive perhaps)?

 

[ferg512]

It should be very interesting to see which of the unsold players get picked up. Surely someone will get Gayle now.
