yoda Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Bravo is no more a contracted player with WICB so most probably he will play whole of IPL. may be he will make more with a WI contract than the 200k he went for here.
ensd2 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Ghambir is expensive for 2.4 $$ they could buy Ganguly for 400 000$
spectre Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Yep, but i think he got a little more. somewhere around 500K would have been ideal Oh how can i forget Irfan Pathan for 1900K - absurd to be honest :hysterical: Badri has been an integral part of our team pretty much starting every game and delivering more often that not. I wouldn't put him anywhere in the worst buy category. RS for 2 mil is expensive, but not a bad buy cause he is good in IPL. Sree is good being a local boy, so I think he is ok too.
Zelig Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Worst: Jaddu, Sree, Puja Best: Davy, Morgan, Sakib
cowboysfan Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I dont know why RCB picked up pujara.we havent seen him in odis let alone t20s are we are supposed to believe he will succeed in this format?
VRV Singh Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I really do think Chawla is the poorest investment by a long way
ensd2 Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Worst : chawla 900000$ !!!! Best in term of value : shakib collingwood and morgan
Zelig Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I dont know why RCB picked up pujara.we havent seen him in odis let alone t20s are we are supposed to believe he will succeed in this format? Some people expect him to do a MuVj. You never know :dontknow:
Zero_Unit Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 If by best/worst buy you mean players for cheap/expensive price then hands down that it will be like this Worst : Jadeja (WTF like seriusly) and Chawla Best: Shakib and Morgan ---> the price should have been vise versa with what those 2 idiots got on the worst list
cowboysfan Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 i just read that RCB bought Tiwary for 1.6 mil!!!!!.what the heck were they thinking,they could have got Uthappa instead and he is keeper too.
ludhianvi Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 The worst decision goes to Punjab for not retaining Yuvi. They were clueless in the initial stages bidding for the same players that they could've retained. A lot of the fanbase is going to be further reduced with Yuvi not in the team. Zinta was almost crying and telling the cameras to move away after that. What's worse is they bid and paid a lot more to guys like Nayar/Chawla. Obviously they didnt see the tradeoffs they could've made. They can still do well but this will hurt the fanbase for sure.

If there was a change in the Kings' ownership, he might have stayed.
jaggadaku Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Worst buys:Mahila Jayawardene, Jaddu, piyush chawla, rohit, uthappa, Best ones: Brandon Mccullum, morgan, Davy jacobs, bravo

coffee_rules Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Worst buy: SaTi was 1.6 mil. and ZK for 900k. BTW< Morgan didn't set the world on fire for :brc: last year. In fact, was a big letdown along with White. Worst decision: Not retainging either Uthappa or Dravid and have a huge following. Who will the Bengaluru crowd like so much in the team to throng to the stadium. Retaining Kohli and buying Sauti were bad. They re-bought ZK for 900k , and not buying either of the Kumars who did so well for them. Bowling is utter Shyte for :brc:. IPL4 team for brc sucks royally.
spectre Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 If they really wanted Yuvi, they should have retained him for 1.8 million, but then its by mutual consent. I think Yuvraj was not willing to remain with KXIP. So at the auctions, KXIP just acted like they tried their best to buy him back, and pushed it 1.5 million, knowing clearly he would go for plenty more. I am very surprised he went only for 1.8 million, when some mediocre ones like Nohit and Uthappa went for 2+ The worst decision goes to Punjab for not retaining Yuvi.

King Tendulkar Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 There must be stats that indian players performed better then foreign players. Only reason I can think of for such high fees for mediocre indians and low fees for seemingly class foreign players. Must be something from previous IPLs in terms of stats showing the above. Foreign players may be treating it as expensive holiday! Plus availabily issues of foreign players???
King Tendulkar Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Looks like foreign players have had a wake up call in that if they want the big money need to perform in IPL and rack up the stats

The excuse given by Zinta was that they had only four hours to retain the players after their court case.:giggile: Yeah, I am not sure what happened behind close doors so there could have been some problems with the management and Yuvi. I still maintain that KXIP has diluted its fanbase. There must be stats that indian players performed better then foreign players. Only reason I can think of for such high fees for mediocre indians and low fees for seemingly class foreign players. Must be something from previous IPLs in terms of stats showing the above. Foreign players may be treating it as expensive holiday! Plus availabily issues of foreign players??? It's due to the limited Indian players in the auction - about only 50. And with only a few good international Indian players, some of the clubs got into bidding wars. Hence the high prices for the Indians. You need to play 7 Indians and 4 foreigners. If your Indian players are weak, then the team gets exposed.
