....while fellow England bowler Chris Woakes was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for £504,140.
England one-day captain Eoin Morgan has gone to Kings XI Punjab for £240,066.
International team-mates Jason Roy and Chris Jordan were sold to Gujarat Lions and Sun Risers Hyderabad.
Batsman Roy fetched £120,000, while bowler Jordan cost £60,000.'
So Mills gets 1.4m whilst Jordan gets 60k despite them being broadly comparable (Jordan being a 1st rate fielder and can hold a bat).....I hope Tymal buys him a drink next time they play together! |  | | |  |

Mad isn't it.
I played football against Mills at u16 & he was an absolute tank then. |  |

Certainly a few interesting signings today. I was pleased to see a couple of the Afghan players get signed up as well, although disappointed the entertaining Shahzad went unsold.
If my counting is correct, 1 England player per team? A rather even spread! |  | | |

I played cricket against him around the same time. He'd only picked up a cricket ball a few months earlier. Just turned up to Mildenhall nets one day and slung it down like a rocket! |  |

Before he went to Mildenhall, he used to bowl left arm spin for Brandon and Tuddenham. Used to turn up to indoor games with a 6 pack of Stella and drink half with his mate before they played.
Quick and wild in those days, pinned a few boys with beamers. |  |

Good luck to him - with his first class record and injury situation, if he had been around 15/20 years ago he'd have dropped down into minor counties cricket or out of the game. |  | | |

For him, see Shaun Tait. |  |

not many can fire down 90mph yorkers the way Mills can. I saw him play in a T/20 at Lords a couple of years ago & he was awesome.
Pity his body won't hold up for him to play longer forms, but good he can reap a harvest from the IPL. |  |

You know he has been 'bought' for 1.4m; does that mean he earns that money? Thats what he gets paid? |  |

When I played him, he came on 3rd or 4th change for their stiffs. First ball went nose-high, on the full, to second slip. Next ball almost broke my foot as it sent my middle stump cartwheeling into the boundary fence!! | |

Yeah. The figures are basically their salaries. Each team gets a pot of cash to distribute how it wishes. | |

Bloody hell. No wonder everyone is worried about test cricket. that's twice what Cook earned from his central contract! | |

No wonder Pietersen wanted to play in the IPL as well. I think the ECB should have accepted that the IPL can offer players far more money than it can & left a window of availability. Then, they could have paid their centrally contracted players far less. Stokes was signed for £1.7m, but has to come back to play a couple of knockabout ODI friendly games against Ireland, FFS. | |

I remember playing against Reece Topley.
Absolutely bricking it I was but first ball had a juicy half volley which I creamed to the covers, well at least that's how it felt but it was probably more an agricultural heave. Next ball I didn't even see, just heard it crash into the stumps & send them flying. | |

A friend of mine, who was a decent enough cricketer to play for Notts IIs & Hertfordshire, was facing a tall, skinny opening bowler in 1994 when playing against Spencer CC. After a couple of balls, he thought "hmm..this lad's a bit quick - better call for a helmet".
Turned out the skinny kid's name was Alex Tudor (then 17). | |

My brother got a 50 batting against him when he was about 16 or 17, he reckoned he was bowling around 80 mph at that stage
He hasn't actually been playing that long has he, he started at about 15? |  |

The ECB have handled the IPL thing terribly but it seems now they're more willing to allow players to go & play.
I think it's vital for them to go there & learn off the very best in the world rather be be stuck in the ECB bubble. | |
