We do a deep dive into the IPL Auction this week, looking at why certain players get paid so much, what the different selection tactics are, and what this says about how T20 is currently played. We also look ahead to the season with some predictions. Plus, the man with two first names is on all of our lips as we look at who got lucky this auction. FROM 37:35 . 

FROM 57:27 , we take the opportunity to compare the IPL's success to the rather rapid demise of the BBL. We ask what went wrong and whether it can be fixed. 

In another round of VOX POPULI, we discuss if Virat Kohli is the greatest white ball player of all time and whether  Steve Smith should be dropped.

Finally, in WHAT’S CAUGHT YOUR ATTENTION: 

- Ethan has been left a bit confused by some West Indies tactics. 

- Peerson reports on another dominant New Zealand performance at home

- Ted reports on all the Australian selection stories and opens up a surprising amount of debate over the plan for the T20 team.

PLUS, IN A CRICKET CENTRAL EXCLUSIVE, we reveal where Australian cricketers hang out in Melbourne.
