Sachinism Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Chris Cairns removed from IPL auction list The IPL has removed Chris Cairns from its auction list over what it said were allegations of match-fixing when the player was with the ICL. Cairns was among the players available for auction when the list was released last week but his name has now been taken off. "The [iPL] governing council has decided against keeping him on the list," Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, told Cricinfo. "We have removed him from the list for his alleged allegation [sic] as we have zero tolerance for this kind of stuff." http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/content/current/story/442534.html ------------------- Little activity in IPL transfer window For the second consecutive year, trading between IPL franchises was a dull affair with only three transfers taking place. With most teams having settled squads, Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders were the only ones involved in the player exchange. Meanwhile, certain teams have bought out some of their players in order to free up slots for the forthcoming auction on January 19. The most prominent name is Glenn McGrath whose contract, worth $350,000, has been bought out by Delhi. Kolkata swapped Australia and New South Wales allrounder Moises Henriques for the England batsman Owais Shah. Delhi had bought Shah at the inaugural auction in 2008 for $250,000 while Kolkata had signed Henriques for $300,000 before he made his international debut last February in a Twenty20 against New Zealand. Both teams were also involved in the third trade, with Delhi transferring Manoj Tiwary to Kolkata. Tiwary was bought for $625,000 in the first auction but now returns to his home state Bengal. Though no IPL official confirmed the transfers they were listed on the tournament's official website. Amrit Mathur, Delhi's chief operating officer, said trading was always going to be a slow affair except for teams making "minor adjustments". "Teams have very limited requirements except for minor adjustments in terms of injuries, or if a player is not available like in case of a buy-out," he said. "Sometimes economics comes in the way and sometimes you have to consider the player availability and how long his contract stands for." The franchises' spending will be capped at $750,000 during the forthcoming auction and they have focused on creating space for a possible big-name signing for the third season. Hyderabad had ended the contracts of Sri Lankan batsman Chamara Silva and bowler Nuwan Zoysa. Darren Lehmann, Hyderabad's coach, confirmed the development, saying they were looking to buy players during the auction to fill vacancies. Unlike the first two years, this year's auction could be more sedate. The IPL website said: "Players should be aware that the number of overseas players that a franchise may have in its squad is capped at ten. In 2009, over 100 players registered an interest in being included in the auction and 50 were presented for the 17 available places in the franchises' squads. Although the final number of available places in the franchises' squads for 2010 will not be known until nearer the auction, IPL expects that the number will be substantially lower than 17 that were available in 2009." The other reason teams were reluctant to trade was because they were waiting for the IPL to release auction guidelines for 2011 and beyond, when all players except a select few would be available in the market. "We don't even know the rules about what happens to the buys after 2010 - do we get to keep them or do they go back on the auction," said an official from another franchise. Mathur is optimistic about trading becoming popular in future when each franchise will have a large squad and they will buy and sell for "economic" reasons. "At the moment trading is not done for financial reasons, it is dictated by team requirement," he said. The next move would be for the teams to nurture young talent for a few years and then sell them when they need money, but that will take time. http://www.cricinfo.com/ipl2010/content/current/story/442502.html
Zelig Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Cairns threatens to sue IPL A day after being removed from IPL auction list due to his alleged involvement in the match-fixing scandal during a stint with the unofficial ICL, Chris Cairns is exploring legal action against Lalit Modi over "defamatory" comments against him. Cairns' lawyer Andrew Fitch-Holland said his client had recently been offered high-profile coaching roles, and any "defamatory" comment will jeopardise his future earnings. The Dubai-based former Kiwi all-rounder is exploring legal action against Lalit Modi and several overseas media outlets for the comments explaining his removal from the list of 97 players registered for the IPL auction on January 19. "Chris believes he has no future in any form of the game. He feels he's been made a pariah," Fitch-Holland told NZPA from London. "He said to me today 'that's me finished in cricket for the next 30 years'. He's devastated, he's angry. "If the ICC are running cricket then surely they must have some degree of control over this sort of behaviour." he added. After long discussions with Cairns, Fitch-Holland had engaged libel lawyers to explore what action they would take. Cairns' name was included in the original list for the auction but Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi had said on Tuesday the Kiwi's name was removed because of the match-fixing taint. Cairns, 39, was suspended from the ICL in October 2008 on what was described as "disciplinary grounds" after captaining the Chandigarh Lions in three matches. Cairns, who once held the world record for the most sixes in Tests (87) and is one of only seven players to have reached the double of 200 wickets and 3,000 runs, was a Wisden cricketer of the year in 2000. However, his career was repeatedly disrupted by injury and he last played Test cricket in 2004 before ending his international career two years later following a Twenty20 match against the West Indies. Source Modi:hehe:

Guest Hiten. Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Chris Cairns to sue Lalit Modi Chris Cairns has announced he intends to sue Indian Premier League Commissioner Lalit Modi for comments made in relation to the IPL's decision to withdraw Cairns' name from the initial list of potential players. Modi's comments appeared on his Twitter page and also in an interview with Cricinfo. "The allegation made by Lalit Modi that I have been involved in match fixing is scandalous and wholly untrue," Cairns said in a statement issued by Andrew Fitch-Holland, his solicitor. "For him to circulate such a falsehood around the world is outrageous. Mr. Modi's allegation has caused me huge personal distress and professional damage. "I cannot allow these slurs to ruin my future and I have instructed my solicitors, Collyer Bristow LLP, to bring proceedings for defamation against Mr. Modi". "This situation has really caused Chris terrible upset," Fitch-Holland told Cricinfo. "There appear to be a lot of negative feelings against him being generated as a result of Modi's comments. "This is both hurtful and distressing for Chris but also damaging to his future prospects. We immediately took advice from Rhory Robertson at Collyer Bristow here in London, who is a leading specialist lawyer with extensive experience in both defamation and professional sports. "Having spent much of the last day seeking this expert advice, we will now move quickly to fight the damage being done to Chris' reputation."

Desi Cartman Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Who would have bought him :dontknow: usually teams either go for the batsmen or for the all rounders. they very rarely bid for a bowler ( unless its someone like Lee or Styen ).
