Also been in good form in this year's Ranji, with a meaty strike rate.
With A Raja or Shriprakash Jaiswal or Allen Stanford or <insert mega scam kingpin> as franchise owner, maybe.Azharuddin, Jadeja, Saleem Malik in the staff. Sreesanth, Salman Butt and Asif in the team.

Mumbai have retained Rohit and Malinga, but the decision to stay with Pollard, Rayudu and Harbhajan is baffling. Bhajji has missed quite a few games this Ranji and is barely fit. Rayudu's strike rate is way too poor to be useful anywhere above number seven. Pollard's been average, great strike rate, poor conversion, and his bowling is simply unsafe on anything that's not sufficiently bouncy or seamer-friendly. They had to let go of Mitch because CA won't let him play much. They can grab Dwayne Smith, who's been more useful as a batsman alone, than Pollard.
With as many as three all-rounders likely, they may have to let go of Rishi Dhawan. They can keep Karthik; he's useful as a quick-scoring batsman and a decent wicketkeeper (a rare breed these days, at least in India, with plenty of opening batsmen passing off as them now), as well as Pragyan Ojha (much more productive than Bhajji, with the ball alone), and also get more out of Dhawal Kulkarni. They may want to bid for Corey Anderson. I hope not, as it isn't practical for them, and not ideal for the domestic base either. They can push for Pankaj Singh, for he'll make a good partner for Malinga. They'll have to fill their overseas slots with bargain players, since they won't have much to spend.

I think Arun Finch's local knowledge will be a handy asset to any franchise.
Ooh definitely million dollar,some dollars for Jessie Ryder.
At 36 sanga and Jaya would be lucky to get contracts,at least Gilchrist was retired from international cricket.
Surprised Punjab did not retain Shaun Marsh averages over 40 in IPL,maybe a club change for him.

Don't think Anderson will break a million.
The IPL auctions are weird. You just can't predict them. Remember last time when Maxwell went for over a million and Ryder only sold for 100K? Yeah.
Also factor in that there are at least 3 very good international all rounders probably up for auction now. Guys like Faulkner, Stokes, Watson etc are going to command big prices, along with slightly lower level guys like Matthews, Bravo etc.
I don't think any team has the purse to get into a bidding war over him.
