Bad auction for almost every batsmen. Top scorer of BBL Alex Hales also goes unsold along with many other batsmen. Marnus is not big name in T-20 but he's entertaining personality when on the field. He deserve some bidding for his ranting, needy, innocent nature (he's kind of "Taare Zameen Par" Type of guy), I like him.

The auction looked like some sort of favoring the players they like the most, reject good players while paying huge amount of money to players who never performed well in the IPL like Steven Smith and Glen Maxwell and Piyush Chawla and Harbhajan Singh getting big amounts as well and they are not playing international cricket for along time while neglecting some youngsters and the most controversy will be the inclusion of Arjun Tendulkar and there are talks of nepotism popping up again Cheesy

.

I wouldn't say that anyone doing any favor to anyone. I look at recent auction as only demand and supply. All rounders and fast bowlers were in demand, batsmen not so much.

Arjun has been part of Mumbai Indian family for very long and from last 2-3 years they are consistently using him as net bowler so it was pretty obvious.
