Mumbai overbid for HS and Jayasuriya but they stole Pollock. I think Delhi is wasting a lot of money on role players. Same with Bangalore. Jaipur has the money to take every good Indian player from now on. Hope they do that. Mohali massively overbid for IP and SS. They don't even have 2 openers or a spinner right now.

Okay, Just to refresh: Link Some rules: • Franchises can bid only once for each player. • Each franchise can have eight overseas players from the IPL pool of 83, four players from the local catchment area, four under-22 players and the big-name Indian players in the pool. • Each franchise can spend between $3.8 million and $5.43 million on its squad of 16. • Cricket Australia stipulates no more than two Australians can represent any one franchise, lest it begin to resemble a pseudo- Australian team. • Players will sign three-year contracts with the franchise that wins their services, but they can be traded after two years. • The bid starts with the annual “base player fee” that has already been fixed by the IPL. This base player fee assumes that the player is available for the entire tournament. This fee will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis, depending on the players’ availability. • The minimum “percentage availability” for any player included in the auction will be 25 per cent. Thus, even if a player is expected to be either completely unavailable or only available for less than four of the DLF IPL matches in 2008, 25 per cent of the player fee bid for that player in the auction will count against the $5 million purse. For example, the purchase for $400,000 of a player who is expected to be completely unavailable in 2008 will cause a deduction of $100,000 from the franchise’s overall $5 million purse. • The players will be divided into “sets” of approximately 12 each, according to their base player fee, cricketing speciality and expected availability for the opening season. But the bids will start with a set of marquee players like Gilchrist, Dhoni, Ricky Ponting and Chris Gayle. A random draw will decide the order in which players go up on the block. • No bid can be withdrawn. • Icon Players - Sourav Ganguly (Kolkata), Sachin Tendulkar (Mumbai), Rahul Dravid (Banglaore), Yuvraj Singh (Mohali), Virender Sehwag (Delhi) Detailed player list here
