Shane Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I think Mortaza will be a good buy for SRK as he can bat and ball and we know this kind of players can do anything. KP is worst for me:D BigCricket welcome to ICF:icflove: what abt intrducing yourself in the Intro thread http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=33861&page=17 So u a Bangladeshi ???

amits Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 its unbelievable that nobody bought shakib alhasan. shakib & duminy were expected to be the most expensive players but only duminy managed that getting $950000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jf1gp_1 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 worst buy is tait , i have never seen duminy but not sure if he is worth that much. best has to be ashraful, for 75k you cant get a better player. i also dont think murtaza at 600K is a bad buy, he just has to bowl 4 overs 2-3 will be good, can give you a quick 15-20 and a good fielder plus he will also pull in lot of crowd. One guy i am surprised didnt go is Kulasekara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy i am surprised didnt go is Kulasekara i'm glad mortaza got 600 K, but he was worth much less. he is one of the best new ball operators in the world with the white ball, but his 20-20 record is ordinary at best. but then again, a lot of players in IPL are vastly overpaid. sakib should have gotten a deal, shocked he wasn't picked. we'll see if ashraful was a smart pick or not. if he blast a quick 20 runs per match, sure, but my feeling is he'll fail to score 3 times for every decent knock.

Lord Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 i didnt understand the auction somewhat?how can kapugedera,nel,D.smith go under the hammer,they were bought in last season? n why were Kings XI stopped wen they were going for flintoff?

I think Kings X1 would have exceeded their max cap of $2m had they gone further with bidding for Freddie. Hence asked them to opt out of the race.

ludhianvi Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Freddie for the CSK seems like a good buy although it may seem a bit high but the value he adds to the team is huge, atleast on paper. Bowler and batsman all in one-- very tough to match Freddie. However, the crucial factor is how will will the English palyers be available. From yesterday's it seemed like they would be available for 3 weeks. So the impact may only be visible for the initial part of the season. Chennai looks good. Some of the teams looked lost and seemed to have just shown up for the tea and cookies. Couldnt understand their tactics--perhaps waiting and pouching the players later. These teams still have some money left so they can still draft some more players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hiten. Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 KP is heavily overpriced. $1.55 million for a man who is available for only 3 weeks (sure he may feature in all the games in 3rd IPL edition) but this is just insane. Duminy's 950,000 was equally disastrous as Ishant's bid by Kolkata. It seems likefranchises are looking to fill their squad with 'stars' rather than players who are best suited for 20-20.

rkt.india Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Tait is the best buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CricPassion Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Ashraful will be the best value for money player. Even I wouldn't pay $600,000 for Mashrafe. What's up with Indians they don't buy the World's No. 1 all-rounder who has been in great form for a whole year but instead buy two hit or miss players.

amits Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 ashraful might turn out to be a good buy. he can hit the 10-ball 20s in 20/20 & is perfectly suited to the 20/20 cricket, however he is a flop in odis & tests and shakib alhasan should have got the $600000 instead of mortaza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suraj Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Mortaza @ 600K has to be the worst buy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
