IPL 2013
« on: February 04, 2013, 01:30:16 AM »

So many aussies involved this year i count 13!!  Ponting and Clarke both bought and quite a few unsold. Finch, Bollinger, Wade, Paine all passed up and no place for any english player either although Owais Shah is bound to be carrying drinks for somebody.

He's a decent T20 cricketer, if a bit inconsistent. Can certainly hit a ball, and the IPL seems to pay overs for all-rounders.

Oh yeah, Morgan has been carrying drinks for the last few years also, KP must've been retained as no mention of him.

he set the record for the fastest ever half-century in Australian interstate one day cricket, getting 50 runs off 19 balls. but looks like he comes off every now and then instead of warranting that sort of price. However this is the IPL where common sense goes out the window. Lets remember Dan Christian was bought for 900,000 dollars a few years back and could barely muster a run.

Yeah good if you can get it. Another year of carrying drinks won't do Morgans England career very much good tho.

I suppose being around great players means he can learn as netting with the best players they might pass on tips etc

From what I've seen he's quite a swinger but can come off very good on his good days. Also seems to have a slightly big ego  ;).

The self proclaimed X-Factor in the Australia team!  >:(

So many second rate aussies in the IPL is ridiculous, Maxwell, Faulkner, Richardson, I think the teams must see the nationality and presume they are half decent because the aussies dominated for so long.

True a player available for whole tournament is more attractive than a player who can only play part of it as that is why Gayle was not picked up before then after the argument with West Indies rcb picked him up as he was available for more of tournament
