And he's uni-dimensional. So it isn't as if club owners aren't thinking while bidding for a player.<BR/><BR/>Players too must not get carried away and think that all it needs is a few domestic performances or a few international performances to valued. They will have to develop different aspects of their game, be verstaile in their prime talent, and must have the felxibility to keep accomodating improvements in what they do to have value.<BR/><BR/>Fitness, primary skills and their range of development, some all round ability, adaptability of player, fielding...all these things have been considered.<BR/><BR/>So high level of performances and a range of them with the ability to mould them as needed will fetch better value and custom to players.<BR/><BR/>There may be the rare reshman walking stright in on the basis of percieved talent, but mostly, players will have to display their abilities repeatedly to hold any value in such leagues as and when they come up.Soulberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15830619858224129215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-72945809746031111202008-02-21T15:33:00.000+04:002008-02-21T15:33:00.000+04:00Great analysis - definitely shocking how low Ponti...Great analysis - definitely shocking how low Ponting, Hayden and Gul went for. I also thought Sharma and Kallis were overvalued. I thought even Gayle went for higher than expected.NAzharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04276711484769076802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3713921718473352259.post-46413007837620852952008-02-21T11:52:00.001+04:002008-02-21T11:52:00.001+04:00I thouht so too, she picked up the so called studs...I thouht so too, she picked up the so called studs - pathan, lee, sanga..hahaha!
