rich old dudes bidding lots of money on women hmmm

 

[ataraxia]

Seems a bit lacklustre. Hayley Matthews unsold?

Yeah someone could've snapped her up at base price and a great value.

You’re making the mistake of thinking that they have any idea

Ecclestone is going for more than Perry

did MI get Kaur for half the price of Mandhana? seems like a bargain buy

 

[anil1405]

Both big guns McGrath and Kaur have gone for bargain prices.

and look, Cricbuzz finally has stats for the women cricketers on their app

all it took was one WIPL

it’s like the early ipl days, Australian cricketers seem to be the main targets with the odd cricketer from elsewhere. at least in this case it makes sense as even a couple of them seem op in the same team

and now Jemimah is on a higher contract than Kaur deal keeps looking better and better

Delhi could've spent the same amount on Harmanpreet.

 

[Socerer 01]

These budgets seem too small for the proportions in which these dudes are bidding

Laura Wolvaardt unsold!

Smriti and Jemimah are both better value as T20 bats than Harmanpreet tbh. Sophie Ecclestone worth the money she got as well, best bowler in world cricket right now.

 

[_Ed_]

Can't believe Wolvaardt didn't get picked up.

Smriti and Laura opening together would be bliss. Hope that happens.

the lack of overseas spots is really making teams be stingy unless it’s an Aussie player

Kaur’s got the big match ability though, think she’s always been a factor in India’s pressure situations. that sort of ability is rare and I assumed it would be getting her more money. seems tailor made for being a mi skipper

 

[Socerer 01]

Can't believe Wolvaardt didn't get picked up.

there’s only 25 overseas slots if i’m right as the sixth one in a team must be an associate player so it makes to go after the ones you think will be in demand first. wouldn’t be surprised to see Laura picked up late in the draft

 

[anil1405]

Looking at the budgets remaining, Healy might go for a pretty reasonable price too.

 

[cnerd123]

I so hope Kary Chan gets picked up. In Set 16, but has been priced at 20 lakhs, while 6 of the other Associates in that set are 10 lakhs. Some good talent in that set and only 5 get picked so hoping the fact that's she's an SLA bowler works in her favour. Did not have a great outing at the HK Women's All Stars Games yesterday but has a great record in general.

Even though they should know how the system works by now, it still must sting a player like Lanning to be sold for half the price of players who wouldn’t make the Australian team
