There's around 5 slots left available. Therefore only world class players or T20 experts will get a deal i think

Doubt Haddin would get a deal, as all the IPL sides have a keeper.

He's a good opener in the coloured clothes but nearly all the sides have a settled opening partnership. Also it would be a waste of an overseas slot to have Haddin in just as a batter.

I think that Kings XI Punjab will sign Monty Panesar. I hope they do!

You need to remember that Yuvraj isn't skipper any more, so it depends if Sangakkara would want Monty. Also Monty can't field or bat and Kings XI have some gun batters that have to play like Shaun Marsh, Mahela, Sangakkara

I was thinking Martyn could be looking a advisor's role,like Tom Moody or Mike Young have got.

Jonathan Trott's a pretty big name no?

Kemar Roach could be a brilliant signing. Also if Ponting around during IPL 3, Roach and he can renew their dual!!!

i actually rate him as a player big style! if you look he actually did well in the world 2020 against the good teams! hes a very good little package! and a bloody good keeper!

Post by: petehosk on January 03, 2010, 12:07:08 AM
You are probably right - as the guy isn't really a 'high profile' player.
But he is a very good keeper. And would make a good buy for a team!

The IPL is fiercely competitive though, so should be interesting to see who gets 'left on the shelf'!!

Does anyone know how many players have registered for the IPL, and how many actual places there are available???
Title: Re: Niall O'Brien Registers for IPL auction
Post by: Jeet on January 03, 2010, 01:28:30 AM
there are probably around 5-7 slots remaining. only 80 overseas players can take part in each season.

yeah. this year's signing will only get a 1 year deal. previously signed players are on 2 or 3 year deals

Yeh - I seem to remember that coontacts were for longer than 1 year last time!
I'm sure that the likes of Freddy and KP will have their place waiting for them!
Does anyone know if Gilchrist is still playing this year??? Not sure if he was bidded for 2-3 years?

if the player signed in 2008, they received a 3 year deal. 2009 signs got 2 year deals. 2010 will get a 1 year deal. in 2011 all players will be up for sale again as two new sides will be entered.

I may be the only one but i think that the indian players should play for their actual ranji trophy sides

eg I think Virat Kohli should be playing for Delhi and Wasim Jaffer for Mumbai

this shows how much say a dollar bill can have

Chaim, there is another twenty20 event in India, in which Ranji sides play against each other.

The IPL was designed to allow the players get away from their local sides and gain knowledge from other players.
