Guest Hiten. Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I seriously thought that MI committed a blunder by not electing Shikhar Dhawan as our opening batsman for today's game. This is Shikhar Dhawan's strong point and he deserved a chance to prove his ability in absence of Jayasuriya. Ronchi is a known non-performer and shouldn't be in MI's squad at all. Moreover, why are we not trying out Rahil Shaikh when ZAK is not available ? We have seen Amit Singh (RR), de Preez (BRC) perform brilliantly in their short stint in IPL (point being..they're 'unknown' commodity). Someone (obviously SRT) has to define Nayar's role in the team because he himself does not what is he doing in the team. He has been horrible in this tournament and has not justified his talent at all. Why is Ashraful being benched when MI is DESPERATE to strengthen their Middle Order... I am not saying Ashraful is a great batsman and all but he is a player who can hit big shot and/or rotate strikes when needed. My team for the next game would be: Shikhar Dhawan Pinal Shah .. tell him to go nuts Duminy SRT Nayar Ashraful Bravo Bhajji Malinga Rahil Shaikh Kulkarni With this team I am confident MI can win at least 3/5 games. They have been not using their bench strength to solve their problems and that is what have killed our chances for semi finals berth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic23 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 we've lost 5 games. if we win the remaining 5, we can have an outside chance. And Nayar MUST be sent up the order. And Jayasuriya needs to be brought back. I don't care if his batting isn't clicking - he's a rare gift to the team, and must be completely utilized - both as a bowler and a batsman. Dhawan's hopeless right now. And a very good point you make about bringing in new bowlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Sharma Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I had high hopes on MI before the start of the tournament but they are falling apart right now. Everyone apart from Malinga and Duminy, to a certain extent Sachin, is having a poor tourny. They have to win atleast four outta five games which is going to be very difficult especially after having got their free ones from KKR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRT had to come at 4 to add some stability and sense in the middle order (not to be in this game...but it will work out). No one else had the potential of being flexible with change of batting order (...today we found out neither does dumi :haha:). It didn't really matter who came first Nayar or Rahane. Fingers crossed about BHajji's form.. but Malinga has been losing his charm and had sucked in the past 2-3 games.:(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRT could come at 4 if Jaya was opening.one of them had to open to have a good start. It mattered that Nayar came ahead of Rahane.they needed a partnership at that time.n a batsman who could rotate strike.at the end someone like Nayar who could hit sixes was needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't have dropped Sanath given both his batting and bowling are a positive influence on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
