wow so did u guys see the auction how the bids were increasing lol.. it ws funny.. plus no pak players bought which wasnt very suprising
I did not get to watch it... btw do share what made the event funny! I suppose this particular event always made poor soul like me realize, how much easy it is... for some people to earn bag full of money! Regards, RightMan
I think ipl team owners are affraid of visa problems of pak players or they dotn want to disappoint indian people
Well this time they had a limit on highest bid which was 750000$ USD there were 2 tie breakers for this.. all pakistani players were not sold..
Pollard and Bond were the favorites ! Great to have bond in KKR team. By the way, I would miss watching Afridi and Tanvir.
Well I was expecting on Pollard's bid as he already give his talent in Champions League and for me and I think Mumbai Mumbai Indians got best player in this auction. Here is list of Sold players: Sold players: Kieron Pollard (Mumbai, USD750,000+), Shane Bond (Kolkata, 750,000+), Kemar Roach (Deccan, 720,000), Wayne Parnell (Delhi, 610,000), Mohammad Kaif (Punjab, 250,000), Eoin Morgan (Bangalore, 220,000), Damien Martyn (Rajasthan, 100,000), Justin Kemp (Chennai, 100,000), Thissara Perera (Chennai, 50,000), Adam Voges (Rajasthan, 50,000), Yusuf Abdulla (Punjab, 50,000)
With the list, it seems that West Indians were the favorites.. After all,they are the ones who believe in hit or miss philosophy.
hiii ya you are right because last time same thing happened with pak players... but many pak players are very nice.. i like many pak players because they blow and bat very nicely... they make matches very nice and interesting like 1st T20 WORLD CUP FINAL....
I was happy to see Shane Bond in Kolkata team. He will do something good for Kolkata. - Mr.President -
Keioron Pollard it is,but can you compare him with any of the Pakistani t20 player ? no you can't I don't know why the f*** they include politics with sports.
Its not nice to interfere politics with sports.. But at the same time, no franchise owner would want to get into trouble regarding pak visas. I think its not a conspiracy or something of that sort.
Ah these are all excuses,if they are approved why won't they get visas? why won't they issue visa to Pakistani players ?
Yes he is Kieron Pollard and I think it's not much expansive for them as he is hard hitter and he can turn the match at any time. Remember that now their is no Icon player for franchises so they not need to spend fix income to icon players.
He is just like our yusuf pathan , a big hit or miss , so i don't expect much from him , though he can still win us a few games by himself which justifiies his price.
Yes and we already seen him in CLT 20. It will also good for Mumbai too as they can expect Semi-final place as they have no good hitters in the team.
