What SG said.

Here's SMH, quoting Modi on the same:

However, it was not clear whether the talented middle-order batsman - who withdrew last year to spend time with his ill father - would have made the reserve price. While keen to play, Clarke is determined not to be undervalued.

He tried to call Modi before announcing his decision and, when unable to, sent him a text message before going public.

Clearly unimpressed, Modi told India's NDTV: "I don't think anybody is ready to pay that kind of price [$US1m]. The reality is in front of him. He didn't want to be unsold in the auction and so decided to pull out.

"We asked him to reduce [his] price but he was unwilling."

Linky.

Not that Modi is reliable either. But me, I am more than happy to believe anything which confirms that Michael Clarke is a QUNT.

$1M reserve price. Like f*ck.

No he didn't. He returned it.
