Ben Stokes sold to Pune Super Giants for 1.7 Million Pounds!!
-
Tymal Mills for 12 cr lol
Gotta be joking, one of the worst buys anyones gonna make.
Roy going unsold is a joke too.
-
Absolutely.. Roy being unsold came as a surprise
-
Mills is now RCBs most expensive player after Kohli, ahead of De Villiers and Watson :o.
-
Don't be surprised when he gets figured out and smacked everywhere ;)
-
Pleased to see Mills go for good money, deserves a good boost to his career now he can only play t20. Unsold players list is a bit good! Guptill, Roy, Tahir, Hales...
-
Ben Stokes is probably worth it provided he stays away from bowling to Brathwaite.
-
No secret Roy can't play spin
Great news for mills after so many injuries - hard work pays off. Don't rcb have starc?
Mills must've impressed kohli
-
Starc has pulled out of IPL
-
I have a feeling Roy will be called back and bought by someone later
-
Woakes is a good buy for KKR
-
Thought Corey Anderson went very cheaply
-
12 cr is how much in £?
-
1.44 million GBP approximately
-
Corey Anderson has been terrible lately and hasn't been able to bowl consistently for a long while now.
-
The prices are unbelievable. Some players going or what seems to be "cheap". As usual some players are getting a great boost to their bank balances. Thought De Kock might fetxh a higher price. Young Rabada certainly fetching a good price.
-
QDK was retained. Didnt realise that.
-
i love following the auction, it is so interesting following which teams are bidding for who etc...
Mills went for what he did for a few simple reasons -
1. Starc pulled out yesterday and RCB needed an overseas quick - preferably LA
2. Boult was right before him in the auction and MI missed out, so they therefore come into the bidding for Mills.
3. He started his Base Price low which makes him look like a bargain - a bidding war then drives the price up.
Not to mention he has actually been playing well :) :)
-
roy sold in the second round
Unsurprisingly bairstow unsold given how high he had his price tag
-

yep i really don't get that why do they set it so high when you can see by the way Mills auction went if you get 2 teams bidding your price can go up very quickly or worst case you actually get sold for a low price and you still get sold and have a brilliant experience etc...

Or you could pull out before the start of the tournament if the price is too low. Bizarre from Bairstow, the experience would have done him some good!

Flemings reaction to getting Ben Stokes is amazing https://gfycat.com/AlertLividGoldenretriever

Clearly didn't want to pay that much yet the owners did there own thing. Interesting that dhoni is no longer captain and smith will captain instead
-
really hoping mills goes well (not just being RCB fan) but he got natural ability and been shot by the back disease so deserves some luck
-

It's the totally despondent look; the owners all congratulating each other whilst the knowledgeable blokes looks on, beaten inside.
Don't get me wrong, I love him, but that is absolutely insane money...
-

i can see why though it has left Pune with hardly any cash.
However they have got a gun team - but they did have last year and got nowhere.
Overseas will be - Smith, Du Plessis, Stokes and Marsh plus Dhoni, Ashwin, Rahane.
Their bowling looks a bit weak though.
-
J Roy looks an unbelievable bargain. Mills for 1.4 mil?! We know he bowled Gayle with a yorker once on a Friday night at Hove....but 1.4 million?!
-
Corey Anderson has been terrible lately and hasn't been able to bowl consistently for a long while now.
Difficult for any player to hit the ground running after a bad injury.. Also not quite sure where you get the idea he is in poor form when he has hardly played in last 9 months.
Form is temporary, class is permanent. :)
-
Prett sure all players enter the auction again in 2018, so Pune and Bangalore went big on Stokes and Mills as they know it's only for 1 season. Guptill bargain of a lifetime 50lahks! Sad that Brad Hogg missed out. Also Tahir surprisingly got no love
-

will be interesting to see if Roy gets a game considering he is at GL which already include Overseas players - Brendon McCullum, Aaron Finch, Dwayne Smith, Dwayne Bravo, James Faulkner and Andrew Tye.
-
RCB always do something stupid in the auctions! Buying Tymal Mills for that price is crazy...having said that, all the players go back into the pool next yr so it probably wont hurt RCB as much. Strange that they didnt go after Mitch Johnson...given the form he is in, he would have been an ideal replacement for Starc.
-
Rcb are a odd team - no way are they within the squad budgets. People like Gayle are paid on the side through other means.
Rich owners finding loopholes
-
The biggest surprise for me was Mohammed Shehzad not picked by any of the teams..he can be a very destructive batsman and a game changer. Also, Imran Tahir not inviting any bids! how did that happen?
-
there were definitely a few surprises - but there always is -
Imran Tahir - unsold
Ishant Sharma - unsold
Klinger - unsold - with a base price of only 50 lakhs!
Dickwella - the SL is in great form and didn't attract anything
and thats just a few
it really was all about the seamers this year though.
can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned Woakes in this thread yet - went to KKR for 500K!
-
Ishant sharma has been over paid for years! he's made a killing from the IPL
-
I was just about to comment on Woakes, seems absolutely mental.
Been flogged like a dead horse but seeing all of the English players doing well shows how far we've come from the horror show of that 2015 World Cup in such a short space of time, exciting times
-

Yes definitely, can't believe there will be 8 England players in this years IPL (and Hales & Bairstow went unsold) - amazingly they are all at different teams as well -
Stokes - RPS
Jordan - SRH
Roy - GL
Woakes - KKR
Mills - RCB
Morgan - KIXP
Butler - MI
Billings - DD

WOAKSEY get in there @WalkingWicket37 eat my dust no bars in the sticks can cope with that bar bill !!

Except for Jordan, I think all of them would be first choice in the starting XI...although Roy will have to fight it out with a few other openers in GL.
-
If Roy doesn't open after the winter he's had in the subcontinent then they're absolutely clueless
-

Yep agreed.
It is a shame Roy didn't go to one of the other sides because at GL he is likely up against Finch and Smith for one of the openers spots and the last OS place.
With McCullum definitely opening and Bravo nailed on to play and probably either Faulkner or Tye as the final OS.
For me he gets in ahead of Finch and Smith though.
-
Dont know what the teams see in Eoin Morgan....he lacks consistency but still gets picked by teams.

If anyone in T20 cricket was consistent they'd be paid billions.

All about experience - if you look at where Kings XI paid their money they also bought Sammy and Guptill.
To be honest all 3 were absolute steals at the prices they paid as well.

I think Billings will struggle to be an automatic pick looking at DD's overseas roster
-

thats a fair shout - you have to think that De Kock will keep then the other 3 will be Rabada, Duminy and then 1 of the AR's so Morris, Matthews, Anderson or Brathwaite
-
Don't see Morgan getting many games for Punjab. Maxwell and Miller are locked on to play every match. Stonis probably bagged himself the all rounder spot. I doubt they would go in with 4 overseasa whom are mainly batsmen.
As for Roy unless he's somehow learnt to play spin, he's no more than a bench player.
-
Punjab also have Amla and Shaun marsh who is their best ever batsman on ipl history statistically
-
Happy for Mills. After all he's been through, to make more in one evening than most of us do in a lifetime is amazing! Well done kiddo!
-
The best Twitter comment for Stokes IPL auction
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5GpgutWMAAEPsL.jpg)
Ben Stokes can start his own IPL franchise and buy all the unsold players
Root - I am the England Captain..
Ben Stokes - With my Package I can buy 10 of Ur captain types
-
Dont know what the teams see in Eoin Morgan....he lacks consistency but still gets picked by teams.
for what they've paid? he's a decent bet.
-
Gutted Lyon didn't go for his 200k asking price. Haddin also stuck himself for 200k!
-

Not sure I agree. Mills is going to do well IMO.
And I am sure Virat would have had a hand in getting him signed up. Having just faced him, I think Virat was impressed.

Tahir --- I think his orgins may have something to do with not getting picked. As performance wise, his decent in t20 format?
-
Keep an eye out on the young leg spinner Rashid from Afghanistan... Reckon he will do well :D
-
Tahir --- I think his orgins may have something to do with not getting picked. As performance wise, his decent in t20 format?
He played in the past three seasons...so that definitely cannot be the reason.
-

I read that most South Africans have to leave early to prepare for champions trophy so it'd probably likely Tahir will get another chance in 2018
-

Why would any franchise buy a mediocre off spinner? Basically every Indian domestic player can bowl some flithy off breaks
-
Personally think Mills would've been better off at Mumbai or Kolkata. The pitches offer more for change up deliveries. Whereas Bangalore is pretty much a batsman's playground
-
WOAKSEY get in there @WalkingWicket37 eat my dust no bars in the sticks can cope with that bar bill !!
Woakes
1/2 million price tag is the back page headlines in our local paper
-
Woakes lucked out with Russell's ban. As Woakes showed against India his medium pace isn't doing to offer much.
-
So stokes, waokes and buttler are being allowed to miss ODI's vs Ireland to play the whole IPL. What's the point of arranging pointless ODI's then? Last year Morgan skipped them
-

Not really pointless given there is the champions trophy this year?
-

so doesn't really make sense allowing 3 players to skip the ODI's does it? whilst Roy, mills, jordan and morgan have to come back
Setting different rules for different players, asking for trouble.
-
Although those 3 are dead certs to start the comp :)
-
at the risk of being called an ECB LAPDOG (!) I think they have got this right. some of the players not picked before have a chance to earn serious money, some who have played before have to come back....incl the captain, yet all are contracted to the ECB in some way.
IIRC KP wanted to miss a test series against bangla and that was one of his issues. Now there is flexibility.....is that fair...tricky I think.
the ECB have shown some flexibility before to Morgan etc and now they are showing the same
tin hat on !!! :)

Mills can't play ODIs and Jordan probably won't get selected, particularly if he's getting picked for Hyderabad at the time. Only Morgan, Roy and Billings will have to come back. Morgan because he's captain, Billings because he's not established (and I'm sure he'll jump at the opportunity to have a couple more chances to do so before everyone is fit and available). Roy didn't nessecarily need to be called back.
-
Does anyone else feel that billings deserves more of a game for England?
Always seems to do well when he's filling in for someone
-
He should get a run in the side like others have who show at times they are not worth there selection.

Nice read that, good luck to the lad, comes across as a down to earth kinda bloke.

Decent article with his about his style of t20 bowling in this months Alloutcricket. Fair play to the lad, could have been oh so different.
