Any ideas folks who are well versed with PL strategies?
- RCB releasing Morris is a surprise indeed. The official reason is his lack of preparedness and match practice. Umesh is not a good white ball bowler so expected.

- DC released Roy because it has enough openers in the squad already. Shaw, Dhawan, Rahane etc. Carey was a surprise.

- Maxwell and Smith did not give enough value at Rs 10 / Rs 12 + cr respectively.

There’s a video on YouTube that RCB (and some other teams) have released where they talk about why they released the players they did.

The guy speaking for RCB said Morris was having injury problems and things didn’t work out with Finch. It made sense. RCB have padikkal and Kohli will open with him.
They said they need to look at solving their middle order issues. Let’s see how things play out.

Smith since he was blocking an international player slot. For RR, Archer, Stokes and Butter are all essential. Smith, in the fourth slot, wasn't creating any impact. As captain and a player of his stature, he can't be excluded either. Hence they've taken him out. (Also probably why Samson is captain, and not Stokes.)

Maxwell was a known thing. Couple days after the IPL, it was already known that he'd be released. I thought of the India T20s too, but his lack of performance with them was a much longer one in the IPL

Carey is a shocker. Didn't get too many chances either. Pant was definitely off color except in the final, and I thought Carey definitely deserved more than the couple outings.

re: The IPL Thread (Fantasy game league details on pg 238)

Steve Smith with a starting price of 2cr goes to DC for 2.2Cr...good deal IMO.
Morris to RR for 16.25crs!! his starting price was only 75Lakhs. costliest player in IPL history beating Yuvraj (16cr).
Punjab Kings taking Dawid Malan is also a good one I felt.
Moeen taken by CSK for 7cr....Another "experienced" player to CSK.

So, RCB gave up Moeen Ali and Chris Morris and got Glenn Maxwell in return.

It seems to be able to play for CSK, you need to be 30 and above only. Am thinking of applying

Mumbai Indians Fans rejoice?
R Sharma
QDK
I Kishan
SKY
K Pollard
H Pandya
K Pandya
P Chawla
R Chahar
N C'nile
J Bhumrah

I am sure Arjun to get atleast one game. Have seen him bowl and comes across as someone who could do good. We should have gone for Malan as a replacement for QDK in case he isn't in form.

Hope against hope. Maxwell has been a flop in IPL. Franchises are tossing him around in the hope he connects this time. This time its RCB

Also, Junior Tendulkar has qualified for IPL auctions this year and has joined MI (20L).

That's a terrific buy. Smith should play as a batman (not as captain).

RCB should have traded Morris for Maxi with Kings XI! That should have saved a good amount of cash for both the team!

Arjun: the new kiddo on the block, makes it to IPL, the moment his name was announced, immediately Zahir Khan picked up the auction flag, he was sold for the price of a SAFARI

We BHPian's can never think beyond cars.

re: The IPL Thread (Fantasy game league details on pg 238)

The thing about Tendulkar at the auction that surprised me was why no one else even made an attempt to get him. We all knew MI would go for him. Someone like KXIP, KKR or someone else could have just raised their hands - just to see if MI could be made to pay a little more than the base price

You don't threaten, if you can't follow through...
You don't point a gun, if you don't intend to shoot...
You don't bid, if you don't want to buy...
