Coz Swann plays test cricket and would miss some of the IPL. Collingwood to Rajasthan - may have retired just in time

Having said that, so do Broad & KP

It'll be a long drag this time with the extra two teams! Isn't it about 96 games??

Really? That was the list supplied to us by IMG World 3 days ago.

Do you have the updated one?

[espocrespo]

yeah, they narrowed it down, loads of them were taken out of the auction tom because no one was interested in them.

i quite like Deccan's team

Kevin Pietersen

Ok - the list we have is 353 players. It was originally 413, cut down to 350 with 4 more added after Kumble dropped out.

Do you have the final one? How many are on that?

[Tom]

Thanks, but that's not the up to date one. Kumble is on it and Adrian Shankar is missing - who I'm 99% sure is up tomorrow.

[espocrespo]

would love to see Rilee Rossouw in the IPL quality young saffer

Ah right. It said on Cricinfo it was the ammended final list, and I thought so too as I didn't see Croft on there.

[Tom]

Yeh, the final final list doesn't seem to be anywhere. In fact there's not a huge amount of info around about the auction at all, who's being auctioned when etc.

[espocrespo]

very hush hush isnt it, its because half of it is probably backhand money etc. lots of scandals in the IPL all the time, i bet there is rigged matches as well, either i still like watching it
