I seriously don't get how some players are being bought at 1 Million + while decent players are going for less than half that price ::). Some of them aren't all that good compared to the few slipping by cheap!

Supply and Demand there's something like 150 internationals in the running for about 90 spots whereas there's only 48 Indians in the draft...thus they're getting overbidded.

I know he isn't at his best but I wouldn't be passing on Lara ::)

Insane though, I know the Indians have an advantage but it's just...

Lara priced himself out. Noone in their right mind will pay 400k for a 41 year old who's not played competively for 4 years

[Alex7089]

Yeah it is a lot to ask, and not sure how he'd go in T20 cricket but he is still amazing.

There's still an outside chance he'll get picked up. Anyone passed in today can be brought up at the end of the auction tomorrow by any team.

[MajorLazer]

Chris Gayle will surely get picked tomorrow then?

[BratPack]

And that will wrap up Day 1. Still a lot of players on the board for tomorrow.

ML I don't know. The word was that due to his West Indies commitments he'd only be available for 2 weeks of the IPL. But then Bravo got picked up...

[MajorLazer]

Just surprising that he didn't get picked for a T20 comp.

[BratPack]

Very surprising. It seems like I was saying to HP Supply and Demand is driving the market. Every Indian is hyper inflated.

KKR have exploded their team.
Chennai seems to want theirs back. Although Kochi slipped in and stole Murali

[Alex7089]

Knight Riders FTW!
