Holysmoke Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 However, the franchises are simply not convinced. "Chennai Super Kings have managed to retain as many players as possible who were with them last season. It's another thing to tell the media that 'we wanted to keep the camaraderie going' but the point everybody is overlooking is the manner in which these players were brought up for auction (Bollinger, Badrinath for example). They were all in the second list when the franchises had already finished spending a bit of money in round one," complained a franchise member who sat in the auction. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/auction-coverage/Team-owners-upset-at-BCCI-secretarys-multiple-role/iplarticleshow/7250518.cms Mumbai Indians have sought an explanation from the IPL regarding a last-minute change in the auction procedure, which they feel compromised the "level-playing field" for all franchises. In a two-page letter (a copy of which is available with ESPNcricinfo), Mumbai referred specifically to the clause in the 'Player Auction Briefing' dated December 17, 2010, which stated that the auction of player sets would occur in random order. But on the eve of the auction (held on January 8 and 9), two hours before the final auction briefing, the franchises were sent an email containing an amendment which stated that the random order would be replaced by pre-decided 'order of the auction list'. http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2011/content/current/story/498498.html now put 2 + 2 together.

vpg0002 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I think BCCI should not have any one on the board who are (direct or indirect) owners of IPL teams. It is a big conflict of interest and hope to see that clamped down soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
