IPL 2010 Auction Review: Pollard, Bond sell for top dollar; Pakistan players ignored!
The third Instalment of the Indian Premier League got a kick start with the player auction process that generated a fair bit of hysteria and gave a major fillip to Lalit Modi and his band of merry men. The auctioning process (as compared to the year before) reflected some better prepared team owners, who had already come with their primary and secondary plans in place. There was selective bidding, in the sense that teams knew beforehand the players they were going to bid for and the players they believed would make a major difference to their setup.
The surprise story of the day was the case of Pakistan's posse of players, who despite their good credentials in the shortest form of the game were ignored by team owners and not even one name in the rather long and distinguished list attracted any interest. A possible reason for this dubious ‘non selection' rests with the acrimony that already exists between the two boards (BCCI and PCB) following the withdrawal of Pakistan players from last year's event. Teams were left high and dry without some of their best players and the owners probably decided to make best use of what little funds were available to buy players who are a certainty to be available for the event.
It would be fair to expect though when the re-auction from scratch takes place in 2010, proven match winners of the calibre of Shahid Afridi, Imran Nazir, Sohail Tanveer, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Mohammad Aamer, Umar Gul, Lou Vincent et al will definitely re-ignite the purse strings of the IPL team owners.
The headlines of the day were dominated by the triumvirate of Kieron Pollard ($750,000), Shane Bond ($750,000) and Kemar Roach ($720,000), whose names were subjected to some fierce bidding by the team owners. Bond and Pollard's team jersey was determined through the highly controversial silent bidding process which caps the player's earnings at $750,000 and hands over the unnamed additional amount (hence silent) over and above that into the coffers of the IPL.
Pollard's name followed Afridi's out of the hat and it was a welcome relief to see so many takers. The Mumbai Indians, Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings expressed an early interest with the Kolkata Knight Riders and Bangalore Royal Challengers joining in later. Kings XI dropped out of the race as they had reportedly already signed atleast one player (Adrian Barath) pre-auction limiting their spending purse below the $750,000 the other teams had available. The other four sides submitted their written bids and were then invited on stage to see the winning bid but were instructed to not make the number public. Pollard headed the way of the Mumbai Indians, much to the delight of Mrs. Ambani.
Bond was the subject of an early bidding war between the two southern giants - Chennai Super Kings and Deccan Chargers. The Kolkata Knight Riders waited patiently for the two teams to raise the stakes and then jumped in after the $600,000 mark was crossed. Chennai dropped out of the race for Bond, leaving the other two in the fray. Deccan and Kolkata took the bidding on to the second silent auction of the day with the Knight Riders crucially emerging victorious. Bond, who replaces Umar Gul in the Kolkata line-up will need to bring his A-game to turn the beleaguered franchises prospects around.
Roach was picked up by Deccan Chargers with the Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab also showing interest. It was very interesting to see the Super Kings lose out on players for a change, after their extravagant bidding in season's 1 and 2 saw them land MS Dhoni and Andrew Flintoff at sky high prices. The deals so far made excellent cricketing and business sense as you would have undoubtedly read in Anurag's predictions piece earlier this week - IPL Auction Preview Part 2 - The Teams: Who needs to buy Pollard?.
The other notable signing of the day was Wayne Parnell ($610,00) - South Africa's rising star and a nippy left arm fast bowler - who was snapped up by Virender Sehwag's Delhi Daredevils. Daredevils, who are a team heavily dependent on its batting arsenal - boasting of the likes of Sehwag, Gambhir, Dilshan, AB DeVilliers - now have a bowling weapon that can only improve their normally stand out displays. Mohammad Kaif (the forgotten man of Indian cricket and IPL's last season) seemed to get a break through as well as he was snapped up by Kings XI Punjab for an amount of $250,000. Kaif will be delighted to reunite with Yuvraj Singh after a very long time. Their careers sure have taken differing trajectories after India's famous win at Lord's in the final of the Natwest Series.
The bargain deal of the auction could well be Adam Voges whose services were acquired by Rajasthan Royals for a mere $50,000. Voges, is a proven performer at the ultra competitive Australian domestic level and has made a mark at the International level too with the limited chances he has had. His big hitting under pressure is the stuff that folklore in the Australian domestic circuit are made of. The Royals, who seem to enter the market only for bargain deals (and often strike gold) may thus have another stand out performer in Voges. Their selection of Damien Martyn ($100,000) could well turn out to be a gold mine as well with the former Australian middle order batsman top scoring for the Ahmedabad Rockets in the rebel ICL in the 2008 season.
On the southern side of the country, Chennai Super Kings may have unearthed a little gem of their own in Thisara Perera - the Sri Lankan hard hitting batsman - who has recently come to the fore with some consistent lusty hitting and the ability to win close matches with the naive ease of a bludgeoner. The Super Kings also added South Africa's ‘big six hitter' Justin Kemp to the line up as well. With MS Dhoni, Matthew Hayden, Albie Morkel and Jacob Oram already in the side, the Super Kings on paper look every bit a T20 champion side and 2010 may finally be their year.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore too seem to have made a smart choice in picking up Eoin Morgan from England at a reasonable fee of $220,000. Morgan has displayed at the highest level that he is capable of winning matches on his own and can smash his way out of trouble. He is definitely a shrewd acquisition for Bangalore who last season had to rely heavily on Ross Taylor to provide the fireworks.
Thus, it was a day which marked the onset of IPL 2010 and like the tournament itself, the auctioning process had its fair share of twists and turns. We now eagerly await the signing up of non-capped Indian players, who could well prove to be the difference makers considering that 7 out of 11 players out on the field need to be, Indian!

Lyrics of Salaam Aaya Song
Dabi dabi saanson mein suna tha maine
Bole bina mera naam aaya
Palkein jhuki aurr uthne lagi to
Haule se uska salaam aaya
Dabi dabi saanson mein suna tha maine
Bole bina mera naam aaya
Palkein jhuki aurr uthne lagi to
Haule se uska salaam aaya
Jab bole woh, jab bole
Uski aankh mein rab bole
Jab bole woh, jab bole
Uski aankh mein rab bole
Paas paas hi rehna tu
Aankh aankh mein kehna tu
Dekha tumhe to aaram aaya
Dabi dabi saanson mein suna tha maine
Bole bina mera naam aaya

Roz hi dil ki aag utha kar haath pe le kar chalna hai
Tere bina bina tere boondh boondh ab raat raat bhar jalna hai
Tum mile na mile, ye haseen silsile
Waqt ke saqt hai ab ye pitt te nahi
Haan tere bina saans bhi chalti hai
Tere bina dil bhi dhadakta hai
Yaad nahi that yaad aaya
Dabi dabi saanson mein suna tha maine
Bole bina mera naam aaya
Palkein jhuki aurr uthne lagi to
Haule se uska salaam aaya
