It took some time to sink in - the idea of bidding for cricketers and buying them! It's a hell lot of money, indeed; and a sleepy blogger is not the best person to comment on it. Just one teeny-weeny doubt crossed this naive mind. Isn't this a sophisticated and glamourised form of slave auction, of course sans the barbarism and modern-day stigma attached to slavery?
Browse through the following link: It is the journalistic narrative of an 1859 slave auction. You can see how similar this sounds to any of the reports that came in the national dailies on IPL auctions.

This may not be the most opportune time for this rambling so let me do the next best thing - hit the sack!
