if india and sri lanka are struggling to chase modest totals, what happens when the aussie batsmen - ie all of them bar clarke - get back in form?
i am loving these games actually, for once the bowlers are dominating.

that boy can bowl like a machine. he really knows what to bowl and when. good news though, he is only 30. at aussies' retirement age, he still got another world cup in him.

haddin, pup and johnson out of the ipl. they don't want to play so they can focus on their international career and moderate their workload. its a good move on their part, seeing they still got yongs to go. its especially smart on pup's part, seeing he is going for the vice captaincy against huss, and he's loyalty to ca probably plays a crucial part in this decision making. he is a sly devil, pup. good on them all.
the older players probably feel their playing days are coming to an end, so might as well earn as much as possible while they are still in demand. i can see their case.

i think the skill level of the player has less to do with the pricing, it is who the india's billion crowd want to see. i mean, fk me dead, the game's greatest leg spin bowler couldn't fetch more than harbhajan singh, that says something. the fact that the icon players always get the most money in the team is really screwed, 'cause whoever is the icon player for chenai or hyderabad must be so stoked he would have orgasmed.
i feel so ripped off for some of the better players.

A High Way Man
all ova da world
its to do with the timing. even tho ricky ponting is the worlds best batsman (tho the bowling to him has been brilliant this summer), he is due to go to pakistan at the same time as when the IPL begins (and thus is unlikely to play), hence has gone for a lower price
dhoni is the most popular cricketer in india
this whole auction has nothing to do with skill or experience, but popularity. lee went for a high price because he's big with the public (see bollywood video, movie)

he is an icon player.
justin langer only got 200k, people don't realise it but he can bat crazy if he wants to, too. mcgrath only got 350k, that is just unfair.
question tho, are these amounts for the duration of the 3years or annual salary?

I don't think mcgrath had played enough 20/20 games to warrant a huge investment (something like 2 international games?)
On another note, how good a summer has Sharma gotten...made it into the indian test team, has a decent tour and just got $950,000 to play in the IPL.
