til nw, hw many csk players scored century ?
Vijay and Raina ...
I think M.Hussey, M.Vijay and S. Raina are the super kings who scored centuries for CSK.Quote:

How sad, the players go into auction again next year :sad:
I don't think Dhoni will move out of CSK.......vaazhnaaL varai thamizhanda! :pink:
Seenu maams will definitely find a way to retain stars or rig the auction :noteeth:
Bring Miller & Gayle for next season.. :yes:
Sell Vijay @ any cost.. :lol2:
Retain Dhoni, Raina , Bravo @ any cost.. :)
Gayle is a big no-no for CSK....we function and excel as a 'team', don't need one-man-army or players who cannot perform under pressure. Hussey should be bought back at any cost.
Vijay namma payyan, will be part of the core. Wouldn't wonder if retained.
Bravo will be in high demand next auction and may move out.
What CSK needs is a very good overseas seamer. Get Dale Steyn I say :yes:
Note- enna aanalum Jaddu-va mattum vittudadheenga :oops:
yes... no gayle...
Is retaining 4 players rule still there ? if so retain Dhoni , Raina , Huss and Ashwin ...
Go for Badri (shud be easily available) and jaddu in auction ... mudinja get back Balaji and pick Karthick if MI don't retain him ...
If we cannot retain any player than Dhoni-ya vangaave iruka kasellam selavu pannanum .. apuuram irruka kaasuku sadagopan ramesh / vikranth/ Vishal ah thaan koopdanum ...
Can't see CSK without Dhoni and Raina .. or Can't see Dhoni and Raina playing for other franchise ...
Keeping-low-profile foriegn players edutha pothum ... no big stars :).
Dhoni, Raina, Ashwin and Jadeja will be retained, I think.
As Scorps rightly points out Bravo will be high in demand in the auction and so does most of the overseas players from Chennai......Morris and Faf
Considering Hussey and Albie age, we can win them back @ the auction.
Badri may not go to auction and hence we can have him.
Plus, what will be fascinating would be the new picks :)
Personally, I would love to see the likes of Ross Taylor and some promising Indian bowlers along with the current crop
A big noooooooooo to Chris Gayle who fits better in the Kingfisher-Siddharth-Koyli-Party group.
David Miller will be retained for sure by Punjab and so will Dale Steyn.
Retention rule-llam illai.....strongly hoping Seenu maams will tweak a line to enable us retain the core :yes:
Jadeja was picked for almost 1.6M (if I am not wrong) and hence it would be close to impossible to rope him back. The best would be not to leave him in the auction pool.Quote:

The 4 player rule is still there, right?Quote:

Again, the massive popularity of IPL lies in the fact that fans become too loyal to a particular set of players...Dhoni-Raina for us, Kohls-Gayle for Blore, Sachin for MI etc....So, I'm sure the owners as well as BCCI will bring the retention clause again....if not 4, atleast 2 or 3.
That's a shocker of a scenario :shock:Quote:

Dhoni in the auction means there would be pandemonium and everyone would be exceeding their overall currency cap..
Chennai went into the first auction with a 'Dhoni at all cost' strategy and I think this time all 9 franchises might do that
aaL balam, adhikaara balam, paNa balam ellam namma kitta irukku....why worry? :-)
This interview by KKR Chief, Mr, Venky Mysore to cricinfo, gives us some idea
With player contracts expiring end of this season, franchises are getting ready for an overhaul with majority of the players - both capped and uncapped, including domestic Indian players - going to the auction. Mysore said the IPL would need to be transparent about the auction rules, especially on the point of retention. In 2011, the IPL had allowed every franchise to retain a maximum of four players with the rest returning to the auction. "Auction issue is big. While we really did not retain anyone in 2011, now we have an opportunity and we are certainly keen depending on what the rules are going to be. We are campaigning for saying retention is a must. If there is a precedence that says four, we are even happy to support more than four," he said.

What will be interesting is the other teams now know the strategy of CSK of buying back the core group. So they will try to play games in auction and increase the prices of our players. Mallya team is best known to do that. We should find a way to counter that.
Ajay, I somehow feel we won't go with that strategy anymore. We released so many players this season, that was an indication of that fact. Yes, we might still fight for some key players like Morris or Mohit but if Badri goes for a heavy price we might not bid at all. Just my thoughts
Mohit will not feature in the auction. He is an uncapped player.
An uncapped player will go into auction only if he/existing franchise wants to break the contract. He may still not go into auction if he is signed by another franchise immediately after his earlier contract is over.
I strongly believe Mohit will be one season wonder ... rendu international match chance kedaika vaipirukku :lol2:.
Most of us expected Mohit to be a one-match wonder and good that he has lasted this far :)
