What I have learnt from the end of Day 1 of the MEGA AUCTION is the IPL is not ready for 10 teams.
Not enough depth and quality in my view. Prices are fluctuating without logic. Hope the quality of the games does not drop because of this imbalance.

BCCI has waited to know the status of WTC to announce the IPL schedule They need India to go early to UK to get used to the conditions etc. So more double headers than last season. If India did not make it they would have had the tournament last 1 week more. Win-win for all now
