The lucrative ,cash rich third version of Indian Premiere Leauge auction has been held and has few interesting and shocking outcomes.
The hottest pick of the day was the tall ,sturdy West Indies All rounder Keiron Pollard bid for 750,000$ by the Mumbai Indians(thats the maximum a team can spend and in tie breaker it has exceeded that amount).
The New zealand pace spear head Shane Bond who has retired from the test cricket to concentrate on the shorter version of games was bid for the same whopping amount by the Knight Riders.
Kemar Roach again from the Carribean islands was the second costliest player with the bid of 720,000 $ by the deccan chargers.
The Angered Pakistanis:
The strange thing is that none of the 11 Pakistani players were bid inspite of having many potential t2o players.Lalit Modi has refused any discriminations and has said the franchises are lookig for available players and pointed out many star players who were not bid and 67 players were auctioned for 13 vacancies.
Afridi was quoted saying that "The way I see it, the IPL and India have made fun of us and our country," he said. "We are the Twenty20 world champions and for me the attitude of the franchises was disappointing. I feel bad for the Indian people who, I am sure, wanted to see us play in the IPL this year."
(he he highly optimistic!!!!!!!!! ) .Abdul Razzaq has voiced his opinion not to mix politics and cricket
However, Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman, was relatively unfazed. "It really does not bother us; what difference does it make to us if our players don't play in the IPL this season? They didn't play in the last season as well," he said.
(I wonder if he has any connections with former president Bush,I mean don you see how he talks ,BOTH SOUNDS STUPID )P.s :Lets hope no terrorist attacks happen in India quoting this rejection as a reason.
