err ..... it's more like they happened to be in the team that won

Abso-freaking-lutely. I think the next auction (if/when it happens) is going to have a much fairer distribution of cash, since people will know what they are getting from their investment from the body of work that these players will do in the next three years.

Dravid and Kallis 1-1 is due to Boucher, Kohli and TaylorDravid & Kallis 1-1
Rohit Sharma 0-2
And hopefully, that's how it will stay.
those two are not even close to kissing Rohit's butt in the tourney so far

Yea, for the price of Symonds or Dhoni, you could have had:What? For 120k only?
McGrath, Warne, Watson, and Mike Hussey.

sehwag and rohit sharma were phenomenal. i didn't actually get to see sehwag's innings but i can only imagine that it was incredible.
rohit's innings was great to watch - much better player than robin uthappa.

The three seamers he is talking about are McGrath, Asif and Maharoof. It's a bowlers game, I tell ya, regardless of how many batsmen win the MoM.

That's insane! I guess they want to sell T-shirts more than winning matches.

Isn't it, I would have Hussey over Symonds in any format of the game.

I doubt they paid $1.3million so Symonds could sell shirts in India. Symonds has zero appeal with the Indian public. Dhoni, obviously, can sell shirts.
No, they paid for Symonds because they all thought he would dominate. They were obviously wrong. Warne, McGrath, Hussey and Watson are probably going to dominate this a lot more. I would bet that in three years, the players value will be much fairer. Considering the small body of work, the first auction was a crapshoot.

even Kallis went for some $800K - $900K .... thats a lot, if you see the crap he has dished out so far
in the end, why bother if McGrath gets 300K and Symo 1300K .... there are ppl who lose that much in a night at Vegas .... i would focus on how they play, what they get paid is their and the franchise's business
