Guest Hiten. Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 NDTV, says jayawardena went to mohali ??
Guest HariSampath Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 ^ yeah, thnx, corrected bb.. Dhoni to lead the Chennai SuperKings. I spoke to Cheeka and I am told that we will be looking at one more International player who is very effective but slightly cheaper, because we have already spent 2.1 Millions of our 5 millions, but we are very happy to have won Murali and Dhoni !! ( two of the top Marquee players) With this, Dhoni becomes the world's HIGHEST paid cricket player !!

I don't have any business background, but I don't see the point of getting 2 marquee players and then filling other players just for the heck of it. I might be wrong, of course.
Chandan Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Murali's price was $150,000 more than that of Warne? That doesn't seem quite right. What did Delhi buy? Not even one player as yet? And Mumbai? What about Ponting, Symonds, Smith et al?

As far as I know, this auction is about to go for 10 hours :cantstop:
Zap_Brannigan Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 KKD just cant seem to catch a break.....
Rohan495 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 cant believe Laxman wasnt made iconic and Sehwag has. Utter Bullshit. Whats up with this racism against Laxman. I doubt hes gonna be selected
Zap_Brannigan Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Racism ? :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:
Guest Hiten. Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 cant believe Laxman wasnt made iconic and Sehwag has. Utter Bullshit. Whats up with this racism against Laxman. I doubt hes gonna be selected The bid is going for INDIAN premier league and NOT ENGLISH premier league :hysterical: Wht fckin racism ? :hysterical::hysterical: You could have said regionalism, btw. But that still wouldn't have made sense
Toony™® Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Chennai spent like 42% of their budget on 2 players..bit of a waste. Imo. Especially with a squad of 16 required Upto 14 * more players with a 2.9 million budget! * 4 players will be made up of u22/local.
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 MUmbai grabbing HS and Jayasuriya. Poor poor strategy I'd say. Get hold of Vettori, Oram, Smith, Gibbs, Gayle, Ishant and McGrath.
Rohan495 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 whats bullshit is that the north has so much control and so much say. hyderabad had to withdraw their request because of them. how lame is that. long live VVS.
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Ponting, Symonds, Lee and Hussey won't be playing in 2008. So they are esentially free agents. Won't be auctioned.

Get hold of Vettori' date=' Oram, Smith, Gibbs, Gayle, Ishant and McGrath.[/quote'] I swear wtf are they thinking ? FCKKKK, no cricketing strategy whatsoever :mad: Kumble sold to Banglore Sangakkar sold to Mohali. Mohali, slowly and steadily building a good team
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 whats bullshit is that the north has so much control and so much say. hyderabad had to withdraw their request because of them. how lame is that. long live VVS. Dude, Hyderabad should be happy they didn't have to pay 700,000$ for VVS. That doesn't make sense.
mhr123 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Dhoni breaks the million-dollar barrier The first hard news out - and it's big news. India's captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has been bought by the Chennai franchise for US$1.5 million. The other first picks: Adam Gilchrist has gone to Hyderabad for US$700,000, Muttiah Muralitharan to Chennai for US$600,000, Shane Warne to Jaipur for US$450,000 and Shoaib Akhtar to Kolkata for US$425,000. So Chennai has already spent US$2.1 million and grabbed two big names. It is unlikely that anyone will beat Dhoni's figure but in these times anything is possible.
Rohan495 Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Dude' date=' Hyderabad should be happy they didn't have to pay 700,000$ for VVS. That doesn't make sense.[/quote'] If Laxman is not selected by Hyderabad. it will be utter shame and hypocrisy. He may not be worth that much but VVS has to play in this tournament no matter what.
bunny Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Mumbai looks the suckiest team right now. SRT, HS and Jayasuriya and they have already spent 3 million. They need to get lucky now. (although they do have some young players in RS, etc).
