The IPL auction — live!
Scheduled to start @ 10 am, today, 50 players will be auctioned in Goa for the 8 teams-playing in the IPL.

The 50 players have been divided into two sets of 5 players each, and then subsequent sets of 10 each, with the first set containing the players with the highest reserve price.

KP is the man with the highest reserve price, pegged at $1.3 million, and Vijay Mallya, the owner of BRC has made it clear that he is ready to spend his entire quota on this player, so as to instill some pinch hitting in his seemingly test squad! Clarke and Freddie have been reserved at $1 mil and $.95 mil each. J P Duminy, the star and the find of the SA's tour Down Under has got himself a reserve price of $300,000.

Some good money with some good talent out there!

However, even with the suspension of a few players, withdrawal of a few other, there are only 17 places up for grabs.

And then with a cap of $2 million on every team, what with some already haven spent some of it on Australian, South African and Indian domestic talent, even 17 players may not really be bought.

So, what finally happens today is yet to be seen. With All Padded Up having covered IPL, so extensively, in its inaugural season, stay rest assured that our coverage of IPL, this second season is going to get better!
