What does everybody think of the bidding wars for the players?

I wonder if the prices would have been the same if it was being held a different country, because IMO there were alot of Indians who were well overpaid if you compare them to other cricketers.

MS Dhoni is nowhere near the most valuable cricketer in the world, and other Indians like Tiwary ($740k - who the fuck is he?), Gambhir ($793k), Sharma ($821k), Pathan ($1.01m)& RP Singh ($950k) were all rediculously overpriced.

I was really surprised that players such as Vaas ($217k), Malinga ($380k), Ntini ($215k), Ponting ($436k - altho he is in terrible form atm), Akhtar ($464k) and Styris ($190k - hahaha he's not that good, but still worth more compared to what everybody else was getting) weren't picked up for more.

I'll try to find a site that has everybody's value on it, I just got those figures from the local paper.
