Some great players are UNSOLD in the auction of INDIAN PREMIER LEAGUE SEASON-4!!

I have never thought that Ganguly was unsold, this is a surprise of the season. I do not care about others but wanted to see ganguly play atlesst this last season. It's time for him to say good bye to Cricket world.

The auction was run totally based on latest performance of the players, i thought thats why Gauthi was sold out like a hot cake...

well friend, Lara is not playing cricket from 3 years or so. One more thing is that he might be picked up later part of auctions. I hope somehow Mumbai Indian pick up Lara,so that we can see Lara and Tendulkar playing together, it would be great spectacle. It is not surprising that Ganguly is not taken by KKR. Ganguly did not perform well under Mc Cullum captaincy and I assume that is reason why KKR have not retain him. But who knows Dada might be picked up later in auctions. In my view Jesse Ryder is physically poor, his fitness is always big problem. I haven't seen in single series where Jesse Ryder never got injured, he is good player but not outstanding player that franchise would die to buy him. Boucher too did not do any wonders when he played for RCB. He is not selected even in South African ODI and T20 teams as well, that shows his career is over for ODI and T20. Boucher has to play some match winning innings then only he can get chance in his national side as well as IPL but we do not know he might be picked up by some team in 2 day of auctions. Herchelle Gibbs is not that much interesting for any franchise because he is neither playing for South African test side or ODI sides. His controversial book made him dropped from South African national side. I doubt Gibbs will be picked up by any team. Some Sri Lankan players have revealed to IPL that they have to go for national duties and not available for the wholes series that is why some Sri Lankan players were ignored but still second day auction is there, so, after the full auction process is finished then only we can come to any conclusions.

i felt very ba about saurav dada because he is such a great player and he got ignored ....i am a great fan of him ...i am not a bengali but i like him....he is one of the great player who made centuries on their test debut....he is the most successful captains of india and he got unsold very disappointing...... i dont care about lara or others but ganguly should have been purchased by someone.....

IPL is about investment and profit for team owners and hence its not surprising that these players didn't get any buyers.About Ganguly,Jayasuya and Lara , well they certainly are legends but all three of them are seriously short of match practice and to a certain extent fitness also.About Gram Swann he didnt show much interest in IPL earlier so its surprising that he made himself available for auction this time.For a team owner if a player is confused himself about playing in IPL its difficult to chose him.Jesse Ryder has been unfit for 8 months in a year so who will invest in him.About Mendis he is not a mysterious bowler anymore .About Boucher, Gibbs Murali Karthik and Kapugedera they are average players now so nobody showed interest in them either.My personal opinion is Ganguly should have opted out of IPL like Kumble did and BCCI should give him some important role to make Indian cricket better.Ganguly has done so much for Indian cricket and he can contribute a lot in future also.

U R Rt Some Of The Great Players Unsold ..but According To Me If Some One Is Investing The Money ..so Need The Performance ,,they Were Good At One Point At Time ..but As Per Today ,,they R Good Fr Nothing...still Like The Ajanta Mendis..great Bowler..skipped,,might Be Franchise Owner Have Mindset That These Player Will Be Not Fixed.

Of these lot I am only a bit surprised about Mendis. But even he has not been very effective. The problem with some of these players is their base price. And most of the IPL clubs now are really wiser for the first three seasons and are trying not to repeat past mistakes. Cheers! Ram

Teams will look for players who will serve them well for the next three years. Thus the reluctance to pick aging players. Swann was not considered seriously because English season clashes with IPL. Mendis & gibbs cannot complain as they did not contribute at all last year. Ryder was the real shocker. Many called it pure commerce, saying that this was a classic case of less demand & oversupply. I heard one franchisee say that if 12 good international allrounders were in the fray, they are sure the get the 10th or 11 one for a cheaper bid.
