Sachin2210 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 9 hours ? It's going to be a long and tedious one, would rather do something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I wouldn't mind catching part of the action, just to see how much tamasha our BCCI babus can manage to display. :giggle: I have seen bits and pieces of the US NBA and NFL player drafts and would be interesting to compare and contrast.

SachDan Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Pakis are not even part of the auction this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludhianvi Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It was quite obvious that the BCCI/IPL did not want the Pakistani players in the IPL right from season 2 in South Africa. Last year, they were in the auction pool but no franchise picked them due to a mutual decision beforehand most likely. This year, they could not have been more blatant about their intentions and removed them totally out of the auction process. Btw, last year's auction was broadcast on youtube... I dont think we can see it there this time around or can we? And when does it start? In about 6-7 hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they will telecast an auction that would run for 9hrs. Maybe, they would for the first hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roshanrocks Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 indian players are expected to go for higher bids than their foreign counterparts primarily due to the demand-supply imbalance 305 overseas cricketers will battle for 95 foreign slots 48 Indians for 200+ slots Indian players are guaranteed to feature for the entire tournament plus they fill 7 slots in the playing 11. So most team will look for bagging the best indians out there (who arent that many) and possibly pump in a lesser amount of money for bagging foreing players who are available in larger numbers. And since you could possibly play only 4 foreign players at once, the scramble for that top foreign player may not not be as much as for an Indian player. But you would never really know would you? If I were a franchise owner i would go hell for leather after Yusuf Pathan and possibly Uttappa :hmmm: The irritating bit about T20 is that you are never too sure who would perform and who would fail and so you wouldnt be sure if u should go all out to bag a particular player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
