Texan Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 WINNER: Chris Gayle =========================== Original OP: It's that time of the year......! As the league phase of this year's IPL is nearing its end, we shall now pick the most worthless player of IPL 2014. Here are the past winners: 2013 - Kumara Sangakkara; Runner-up: Ashok Dinda Link to thread 2012 - Yusuf Pathan Link to thread So, who do you think was the most worthless player this year. Remember the definition of a worthless player: A player who is earning big bucks this year but flopping miserably. The minimum salary of the player must be $300k. Also, the more money that the player earns and the poorer the performance the more worthless he is. E.g. if player A and player B had identical performances and if A earned $500k and B earned $2 million, then B is more worthless Here are the contenders for this year - Chris Gayle (RCB) - Salary $1.6 million - the star performer of the last few IPLs has had a torrid time this year Virat Kohli (RCB) - Salary $2.1 million - I absolutely hate to put him in this list; superhero for India but super-flop for RCB Corey Anderson (MI) - Salary $770k Michael Hussey (MI) - Salary $850k Kevin Pietersen (DD) - Salary $1 million+ (not sure exactly how much) Amit Mishra (SRH) - Salary $810k Shikhar Dhawan (SRH) - Salary $1.6 million Jacques Kallis (KKR) - Salary $940k Stuart Binny (RR) - Salary $580k Pragyan Ojha (MI) - Salary $550k ** Salary data may not be accurate. If you find a discrepancy, let me know
Pagalpanti Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 All of em have put up a fight at least in few of the games, yet to see Corey do something.. easily the worst buy of this auction..
yoda Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 M. Vijay should be there in that list with a salary of 5 crores per year. My vote will go for Gayle mainly cause he doesn't even seem to care. The fecker is out of shape, won't run for singles, won't bend, WTF!
Sir john Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 mishra on top gave me minus too many times :facepalm:
bulbul Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 M. Vijay should be there in that list with a salary of 5 crores per year. My vote will go for Gayle mainly cause he doesn't even seem to care. The fecker is out of shape' date=' won't run for singles, won't bend, WTF![/quote'] It's not his fault..he is forced to play i guess. Kohli is teh biggest issue...he is a avergae T20 player for RCb in 7 seasons...[except last season]
someone Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Binny, he neither has bowled well nor batted well. Was he retained for a specialist fielder?
rkt.india Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 All of em have put up a fight at least in few of the games' date=' yet to see Corey do something.. easily the worst buy of this auction.. [/quote'] Corey helped them win one match, I guess.
BlueBee Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Corey helped them win one match' date=' I guess.[/quote'] Yep..For which he was awarded the MOM
The Realist Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Has to be Gayle. He looks and moves like an OAP in the field. Not one innings of substance. He looks done.
Cricket_Hacker Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Yuchup drops dollies,doesnt bowl and his batting is crap
Texan Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Pathan brothers? Pathan brothers are no longer earning the lofty salaries that they did in the past. Even though both do meet the minimum salary criterion, I have tried to pick mostly players who earn much more and have performed as bad or worse.
Zelig Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Any player who steps in our way You have a couple in your own team. For starters...

You can also add Mooli Vijay/SHami to the list.
sscomp32 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Binny, The Most Useless and Luckiest cricketer in India. :whack:
AbhishekS Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 From the players mentioned in the first post, Kevin Pietersen and Corey Anderson according to me. Even Chris Gayle to some extent. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
