It was a great day today watching the IPL auctions unfold.
A lot of drama combined with a vision to succeed made it a great spectacle. It was interesting to watch all the sports maniacs discussing as the auction got underway. All the news channels had only one new at that time and it wqas the great Indian bidding. Their live commentry of the auction benifitted us sitting in chennai were pay channels cannot be viewed having a normal cable connection. There were some really good picks in the auction, but, most of the bids were baseless and ridiculous. It was foolish on the part of some team bidding million dollars on players who have no chances of winning a match. It was also a day which showed all the guests sitting in the news channels were as bad as the bad biddings. They din't even have the basic understanding of what makes a winning combination and they were chatting about this from morning 10 o'clock to 6 in the evening.
Lets see what is going to happen tomorrow because tomorrow is the day were a winning team combination is going to be picked. But most of the franchisee's have lost their money on some baseless combinations. Eagerly waiting to see the winning combinations :)
For me right now Mumbai and Chennai look a stronger combination as of now.
