Morne van Wyk makes himself a shedload of money

In the IPL that is.  Undrafted in the IPL, after his blitzkreig today (67 off 39) in the one-off T20, he will be in demand for sure.  Talking about seizing the moment -- he is only in the squad because Graham Smith dropped out.


So who has cap room left?  All the teams, but only significant amounts are Kings & Deccan with $2M each, and Pune with $1M.  Kings will probably be cautious given their financial situation. Delhi has $750K and Mumbai $500K.  I'm guessing at least $500K for Morne -- timing is everything.  Had this game been held a few days ago, he may have been a lot richer.

The World Cup will surely throw up some stars (who will probably get popular in India).  The wiser teams have retained some cap room to sign undrafted free agents at that time before IPL4 begins.
