Can't happen.

Each franchise is allowed only two current Australian players.

Bowlers coming up next, so they could sign three decent ones and finish off the XI.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Can see Symonds, Afridi and Styris sending down 10 between them.

I thought it was 2 current CA contracted players. Dave Hussey isn't CA contracted.

The most sought after

Posted by Sidharth Monga 17 minutes ago in IPL

So who were the players that the franchises bid fiercely for? Mahendra Dhoni and Andrew Symonds, obviously, as their signing amounts of US$ 1.5m and $1.35m respectively suggest. Lait Modi said there was an intense bidding for the two. "Dhoni was bid across the table by every team, his went to every team. Symonds was bid pretty much all across too."

Modi also said he could not make out what was going through the minds of the bidders, and what their strategy was. "It all depends. Everybody is trying to build a team strategically. There are players whose price has gone up from a base price of $100,000 to about $475,000-$500,000.

"Some players have gone surprisingly low, some have gone surprisingly very very high. The rationale is not for me to judge, it's for the team owners to judge."

Modi just said that he expects every team to bid for IShant sharma.

Isn't it just two centrally contracted or players from the same state?

MS Dhoni (US$ 1.5 million)

LOL, six weeks of work. Ridiculous.

Yes, you are right.

I had forgotten that Dave Hussey isn't centrally contracted.

Chennai

Matthew Hayden
Stephen Fleming
Albie Mørkel
MS Dhoni
Jacob Oram
Suresh Raina
Parthiv Patel
Joginder Sharma
Chaminda Vaas
Muttiah Muralitharan

Inserted Chaminda Vaas into that side and that is pretty much unstoppable.

Wow, look at all this excitement for a 20/20 tournament - in the heaven of Test cricket of all places.

In any case, Symonds is #2 on the money list, after MS Dhoni. (Excluding the 'icon' players like Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly, etc, whose price is set at 15% higher than the next highest.

Yousuf's IPL participation in doubt

'News comes in regarding Mohammad Yousuf. The matter was heard today before the Hon’ble Arbitrator Mr. Justice B. P. Saraf (Retd) and the tribunal has not vacated the stay on Yousuf from taking part in any other rival league of the Indian Cricket League, such as the IPL by any further orders.

As per the order of 15th December, 2007 Mohammad Yousuf is restrained from taking part in any other rival league of the ICL such as the IPL and to maintain status quo as of that date.'
