  • $125,000: Kaif, Raina.
  • $100,000: Zoysa, Shoaib Malik, M.Johnson, Haddin, C.White, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma.
  • No reserve price: P. Jayawardene, Umar Gul, Kamran Akmal, Justin Kemp, Mortaza Ashraful.
  • My thoughts follows below

    The highest reserve prices are obviously for the Indian players and noticeably  though his reserve price is low, Ishant's is bound to draw a higher price.

    It is disappointing to see Laxman bracketed alongside Chawla,Powar and Jaffer and if Fleming's retirement rumours are true, he is bound to pull in a bid equal to Gayle and Jayasuriya.
