It was groundhog day for David Warner as he again went unsold at the Indian Premier League auction, likely ending a lucrative, run-laden connection with the blockbuster T20 competition. The explosive opener has scored 6565 runs at a strike rate of 140 and an average above 40 in the IPL, but on Sunday, none of the 10 franchises were prepared to invest in the 38-year-old left-hander as the auction wound up with a lengthy second day’s bidding in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Close behind was Spencer Johnson; he was a target of Ponting’s but the Kings were outbid by the Kolkata Knight Riders, who offered $510,000. Ponting did then land Hardie for $225,000 and, after missing out on Nathan Ellis — who went to the Chennai Super Kings for $365,000 — signed Bartlett, the top wicket-taker in BBL last summer, for just $145,000. Alex Carey may be Australia’s Test wicketkeeper but Inglis has the gloves in the white-ball game and it showed as he went for $475,000.
