[biased indian]

A lot of aussie and pakistan players in there
even though both the countries are playing during that time..

Edit: ha the tour is shortened now rite ???

 

[DJellett]

By 18 days. But i expect players will boycott and it will be cancelled anyhow.

 

[biased indian]

Mumbai had spend a lot of just three players...

Harbhajan was clearly over priced for me

i hope pakistan players dont pull out due to security reason. so that they can play in IPL...

The REAL shocker on price in Jayasuria for mine.

 

[Jamee999]

Mohali look very strong.

 

[duffer]

So that's most of the big names down. Looking forward to seeing where all the young Indian talent goes.

but he might be a hit on small indian grounds under sub continet condition and also he can bowl

Considering Sreesanth got 600k, I don't think Harbarjan was that much overpaid. Jayasuriya an interesting one, but looking at the prices of other spin bowling all rounder Gayle and Vettori they seem to in high demand. Afridi went pretty cheap considering those other sales.

I thought Afridi would be a dark horse for one of the highest paid TBH...too unpredictable I spose

 

[duffer]

No takers for Taibu saddens me a little. Would have been a great value for money pickup IMO.

 

[burr]

Why would anyone pay that much for Jayasuria. What a dud. As is Harbajhan Singh. Love the look of Hyderabad. Isn’t that VVS’ team too? My money’s on them

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Why the **** would you pay so much for Karthik when you have a better player in de Villiers anyway?

VVS is NOT listed as an icon player. Hyderabad withdrew the application for him to be considered so...

Home grown player, he had to play for Chennai. Also it seems Indian players prices are basically double from what overseas players are getting of the same quality.

Agree. Better than Akmal IMO. Feel really sorry for the little guy. Hope he gets picked up later.

Definetly seems the franchises are as interested in marketing as they are in results.
