I think Morgan has turned down the IPL this year to focus on FC cricket.

For anybody who's interested to see the IPL auction here it is in all it's glory. Very odd...

Ok so it's 5 hrs long  the Glenn Maxwell auction is around an hour or so.

I d like to know how they justify the pricing.  MAxwell is hardly a world class player.  I would have thought a more established player would command a heftier price tag?  Any thoughts??

Does Maxwell's new franchise have anything to do with Shane Warne?

It was the same with Dan Christian a few years ago, I think he was even more than Maxwell and hadn't even played international cricket yet

IPL seems to be the place where fringe players can really make a name for themselves the likes of Sunil Narine were huge in the last edition. Looking forward to seeing the next big thing make an impression this year.

Agreed. He is mediocre at best.

IPL is more glamour and entertaintment than cricket. So the prices depend on the players viewership, althought Maxwell is not a world class player still he is good allrounder. But i doubt he can justify the price

He was playing Southern league cricket last year, It baffles me how he is now getting paid this much!
