Or it could just be that he's a wuss.

Well, it seems that these franchise owners are more interested in collecting big names than the best players. Tatenda Taibu's far superior to Kamran Akmal, among others, but because he's not that big a name (and perhaps because he's a lowly Zimbabwean) he gets overlooked.

i dont know whats going on Aurelius, I wish what ur saying was true to see a trend among the franchises....i mean scott styris is a big name compared to albie morkel who is kinda unknown.... and morkel gets 4 time the money styris is getting. styris is taken by hyderabad for a dirt cheap $280k...so i'm not complaining!!! hyderabad really is playing it nice so is kolkatta and chennai, bangalore. delhi, jaipur and mumbai owned by the richest man for a while mukesh ambani seem to be very sluggish.

I saw that and just about spat out half a can of over proof "bundy rum"

Joking aside Cameron White like M.S Dohni is a good reason umpires should wear body armour.

At 24yo I think Cam is a better buy than Symonds who is almost 32yo.

P.S to my last post

Like Dohni who I predict will be an "iconic" Indian star leading the national team as captain in all forms of the game Test's, 50 overs and 20/20.

I predict Cameron White will do likewise for Australia. Michael Clarke may lead the test team for a while at some stage, but it has always been an unhappy marriage separating the Test and Limited overs captaincy in Australian cricket.

Ponting successfully straddles both forms of the game, Michael Clarke does not have the power hitting to sustain a presence in a limited overs format of the game. Unfortunately for him that form of the game will have a much greater public profile.

Hence I think that White who has the power and a big foot in the test arena due to Australia's current vacuum in spin bowling will be irresistible as Australian captain sooner rather than later.

And wont Richie Benaud be pleased to see a leggy leading the side. Half as pleased as Bill Lawry who will be ecstatic about a Victorian.

Mike Hussey unsold brother David Hussey $625 thousand USD; 113 off 64 balls today may have helped

[QUOTE]In the seventh round of bidding that featured batsmen, six of the 16 players went unsold. Mumbai's exciting batsman Rohit Sharma was purchased by Hyderabad for USD 7,50,000 while Bengal's Manoj Tiwary was bought by Delhi for USD 6,75,000. While Michael Hussey was unsold earlier in the day, his brother, David Hussey went under the hammer for USD 6,25,000 and was bought by Kolkata.
Gautam Gambhir, Delhi, 7,25,000 (2,00,000)

What are you talking about? Clarke's done exceptionally well in the ODI game since making his debut- what, 3 or 4 years ago? He's averaging well over 40 with the bat, has a strike rate of over 80, and is one of the strongest fielders in the side, and one of the highest-regarded players of spin in the world. Those are numbers he's sustained for a while now- over a hundred matches- and although it's possible that those numbers might go down a little (the natural consequence of an extended career) I can't see him being dropped from the ODI side for many years to come.

Cool...we have something in common
