IPL auction results

Posted: Friday, February 6, 2009
KP 1.55 Bangalore old dudes; still seems a lot of money to me, but if nothing he will stop people from thinking Bangalore is a test team.

Freddie1.55 Chennai sooper dooper kings, worth every dollar, but wont help them win the final.

JP Duminy 950 Slapping Indians, take away the MCG and how much would he have been worth, but probably worth every dollar.

Tait 375 Royal Warnes, I wouldn’t have paid this much for him, but he will win matches for him, and if Warne can’t get him mentally right, Tait should retire.

Fidel Edwards 150 Charging Gillys, great buy, very under rated bowler, who is getting better all the time.

Owais Shah 275, Dirty Delhi Daredevils, good pick up for Delhi’s middle order.

Collingwood 275 DDD, you have got to be kidding me, Delhi, are you feeling ok?

Tyron Henderson 650 RW, for the people of the world who think one Shahid Afridi isn’t enough, seems a bit over priced, but can play.

Ravi Bopara 450 Xi Punjab’s king, can’t believe he went for so much more than Shah, being that Shah has probably done more internationally, and is the more talented.

Thilan Thushara 140 CSDK, a pretty good buy really, has a one day batting average of 20, and bowling average of 25.

Jesse Ryder 160 BOD, great buy, with him, Taylor and KP, Bangalore have three top class white ball batsmen, and with Jesse they have an opener, which last year they struggled with.

Kyle Mills 150 SI, too good a one day bowler to miss out, but if Mumbai are clever will use him as a pinch hitter the way Rana Naved does it for Lahore.

Jerome Taylor 150 XIPK, just made a test match hundred, and is a decent fast bowler, could be a good pick up.

Dwayne Smith 100 CG, professional 2020 player, will end up in the ICL, but handy back up player.

Ashraful 75 SI, considering his obvious talent it’s a great bargain, that said, he doesn’t produce that often, so if you paid any ore it could have been a waste of time.

Mortaza 600 SRK’s Hasselhoffs, whoa, I like Mortaza, and he is a big hitter who can bowl pretty decently, but that is alot of money for him.

George Bailey 50 CSDK, the smiling assassin, will be interesting to see if he plays, just made a hundred against New Zealand, so the talent is there, but has never put it all together in a season.

Can’t believe they missed them.

Shakid Al Hasan, you have got to be kidding me. Would have been one of the first players I would have picked.

Brad Haddin, talk about cheating at the wrong time, although no keepers were picked, so that was a slot where everyone was stocked.

Brett Geeves, since he played in the IPL last year, has played for Australia, and has two first class 99* and being that all rounders were all the rage here, must have been unlucky to miss out.

Jon Moss, was he not picked because of his faith? Are jews not welcome in the IPL, or was it the fact he hasn’t played domestic cricket for 2 or so years?
