This is only the base price for the Auction. Not sure of the buying of old horses for the race.

They will be bought if at all to give the physio some practice.

Now why are people getting exited. Sri Lanka has been trying to sideline them for long now. Our people are a disgrace not showing gratitude for their past service. Even now they are envious. Is this typical Sri Lankan nature?

IPL Are you crazy or what? Most school boys play better cricket than SL team

No SL player was offered a bid for the last IPL. You can put high base price, the question is whether there would be any takers? Currently Malinga or Mathews are not consistent.
