SA20 | Total domination by the now two-time champions!

It looks incomplete without RCB team...

Anybody following the auction so far?

Highlights include Tristan Stubbs netting a cool half a million dollars, Magala being the fifth most expensive player whilst Phehlukwayo goes unsold and the biggest of all the white ball team captain in Bavuma going unsold. Pretty shocking the last one! Surprised that JRoy got a successful bid after his poor recent form whilst Kusal Mendis doesn’t even get a token bid.

I just put it on and was going to turn off then I saw the lady in the dress.

Sunrisers’ franchise seem to want to fill that role this time around.

Ngl the fashion sense amongst the South Africans is miles better than anything we’ve seen in the IPL so far. Production values from Supersport seem pretty good too.

Some of these overseas blokes must have been high considering the base prices they’ve set for themselves.

Lol Mason Crane has a bid and Matt Parkinson doesn't

Shaun von Berg and Dawood get bids whilst Harmer of Essex T20 Blast fame doesn’t get one.

EDIT: of course it is Sunrisers who bid for Crane.

Yeah, bit surprised Harmer didn't get a bid. Although his T20 record isn't remarkable.

He’s capable of batting at seven or extending the batting depth at eight though. Certainly worth a bid at base price.

Sipamla also went unsold, I know he’s a better longer format player but yet again it feels like these blokes are just looking at cricinfo pages before strategising or making moves.

Off spinner though I think most teams would prefer a leg spinner or slow left arm to bowl to right handers.

Arguably the three best T20 SA batters at the moment are all lefties though.

Did Duan Jansen get this much money just because his brother happens to be a rising national star and they believe it is because of the genetics?

auctions just make me want to do Social Distancing Shield 2

Lizaad Williams is probably the first reserve international pacer for SA behind their quartet and he’s bought for nearly his base price by the Super Kings management. They’ve always done something like this in every auction and pulled an absolute bargain out of nowhere.
