Knowing how West Indians are, especially toward Jamaicans, that must be a rhetorical question. cool

I will be surprised if that happens. IPL is a business and fans go to see Gayle. He is a hero in India.

Correct IPL is a business and franchises want to win so will they accommodate an aging failing star?

 
Khaga 2018-01-22 11:29:35 

Gayle is a designated marquee player..there must be some protection against being unsold for the marquees..

1m minimum

He will fill the seats. And will attract TV audiences. Both equal revenue.

The success of the IPL is the perfect marriage of sport and entertainment. Gayle is a huge draw for tv ratings and the gate.
He will be picked up because IPL is not ran by CWI.

Case in point Gayle was transferred to St Kitts Patriots and he added value to that franchise.

 
Halliwell 2018-01-22 13:16:42 

Why people so bad mind? rolleyes

Garfield St Aub Sobers will also go unsold rolleyes

You know I was just thinking the same too
cool

 
Andy99 2018-01-22 13:31:10 

He will get pick but I dont think he will cross US1M.
Most he'd get is US700K IMO.
His age, declining form and fitness is going to drop his value but just thru his name he will get a decent-good deal.

 
Kay 2018-01-22 14:05:46 

Although IPL is a business teams still want to win and will not pick a player just for tv ratings.

The stores with the cuter mannequins don't always sell the most clothes... smile

The biggest chunk of cricket earnings is TV rights. Pakistan plays in UAE in virtually empty stadiums.

In reply to Cleg

Mr 333 why would I be hating only?

I just gave my opinion. The IPL will dump any star who has faded ask Virender.

BTW WHAT has he done since that ton?

 
Devin 2018-01-23 17:54:49 

Gayle should bat in the middle order. Send him in when the only option is to cowlash.

 
Cleg 2018-01-23 19:43:58 

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

BTW WHAT has he done since that ton?


He shared a 201-run partnership with No.3 batsman Brendon McCullum (51 not out) as Rangpur Riders posted 1-206, which ultimately gave them a 57-run win over Dhaka Dynamites.

The opposing bowling attack was far from average, featuring international stars Shakib Al Hasan, Sunil Narine, Shahid Afridi, Kieron Pollard and Mosaddek Hossain.



Fuzzy as usual I see!!
How many T20 has he played since that ton???

I can see you your HATE is so strong...you didn`t even bother to read the link.

Never mind a so it go!
lol lol

Btw,should Brendon McCullum not get an IPL contract as well?

 
FuzzyWuzzy 2018-01-23 19:53:28 

In reply to Cleg

I never said Gayle shouldn't get a contract. It has nothing to do with me.

I was merely responding to the assertion that he will be picked because he brings crowd an IPL is a business.

Add injury prone to aging failing star

Lots of disappointed peeps on this MB....

Gayle sold to Punjab.

"For the third time, CHRIS GAYLE! Base price INR 2 crore. Is there a bid? Is there a bid? For the third time of asking ... There's a bid! KXIP make the bid for Gayle. His IPL career is not done. sold!"

That's what? US$312k? Nice piece of spending money, after the WICB get their cut....

Good for you Gayle,pocket some spare change and enjoy growing old.I am sure he will play a few matches and hit some sixes.
lol

i suspect this will be his last season kudos to him for being relevant at near 38

incidentally who is Sammy with this year ??

 
Pacy 2018-01-28 06:50:38 

The cheer across the room when he was selected shows the respect the teams have for him. Everyone seemed to be happy to have the PD play in the tournament.

He will be linking with Virender Sehwag who is part of the Kings setup

I always felt there needed to be a parting of the ways from RCB

I am not a Kolhi Hater but there is just too much drama around him ...... Daniel Vettori does not impress me either cant see him standing up to Kohli either..

 
Cornfused 2018-01-28 09:28:10 

Those who were worried about Mr. CH Gayle, while this may or may not be his last IPL, he is by far the most financially comfortable cricketer in the West Indies and in the top 10 on the planet. He can kick back and pay to let a professional manage his wealth. Regarding the departure from RCB, Kholi Gayle and De Villiers at the bat and where they did they finish?

 
Khaga 2018-01-28 09:36:49 

In reply to ponderiver

You are not a Kohli hater,but just a Gayle baty licker..since he has not been retained by RCB and got shunted out,it is a case of sour grapes for you with RCB..

 
rubberd 2018-01-28 09:55:39 

In reply to Khaga

Gayle got his price, major brands do not lower their rates as it is difficult to recover. This may be the reason he not playing in PSL after his team there failed to retain him. To offer his services on the cheap in PSL would have diminish his value in IPL. BOSS MOVE.

 
ponderiver 2018-01-28 10:07:33 

In reply to Khaga

you are not a Gayle hater but just a Kohli Lover

Kholi's toxic leadership has been questioned at the the highest level in India, Gayle batty lickers the lot of them ??

that you should choose to address my point with a vulgar and low class terminology says more about your real agenda here

What's really hurting you is the fact that Gayle was picked up in the IPL and the series loss to SA

oh not to mention the white flag of Surrender at Sabina Park !!

 
granite 2018-01-28 10:12:06

Yes mate that's how I see it,no shame,it's just a natural phenomenon.I feel sure he will have more to do with the IPL in the future. cool
