of all the ridiculous bidding in this auction, why pick Maxwell?

Because he comes across to me as nothing more than an inconsistent slogger who probably won't even be an international cricketer in five years time.

Lets see
One has the fastest ever international century in a game that was basically an international T20 match and followed that up by nearly scoring the fastest fifty against India a few games later.
The other can't get a match for the West Indies.
Yeah, I can see how they're similar.

That's my point. There are far more ridiculous selections than Maxwell.

Not Terrible
The bloke who scored a lot of runs on a small ground against a rubbish team and has a fairly solid but unremarkable domestic career in the shorter forms.
Or a bloke who scored a lot of runs in this tournament last year.
This isn't a Test match, ODI or even T20I auctions, it's the IPL. Picking players and valuing them on what they've contributed in this format is perfectly reasonable.

There's little doubt clubs avoid English & NZ players like the plague, yet absolutely love Australians, South Africans & (even the Windies to a lesser extent.) Australia might have a slight edge on NZ in T20s atm, but the current ratio of 8/1 (16 Aus players to 2 NZ players) is absurd. I assume this comes dfown to marketing and promotion as much anything else.
Incidentally, I know there's a quota on the number of overseas players that can be included in the final XIs, but is there a quota for the number allowed in the greater squad?
