Texan Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Its high time for MI to get Pollard out of his misery by dropping him. MI aren't doing any favors to Pollard by picking him. A struggling player needs to take his mind away from the game for a while and then try to make a comeback. MI management us just dragging their feet in conveying the news to Pollard. asterix and rollingstoned 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dery Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Rohit is probably still having nightmares of that wc t20 game vs Pak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I just happened to check Ramandeep Singh's domestic stats. List A avg of 23 at SR of 66 T20 avg of 12 at SR of 115 Those stats suggest that he is neither a big run getter nor a quick run getter and he hasn't even bowled much. He is not even a 19-20 year old kid that they saw play in U19s and picked him. He is 25 years old. And he batted at number 4 for MI, 5-time IPL champions. He barely gets into the Punjab team. So, my question is: which dimwit picked this guy? And what was the criteria? And they expect they will win IPL matches playing with such guys?

Stan AF Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Throw all these fool's back into the auction table. Save some$$$$ and get new players. They can't be worse than this season. Sams Mills Unadkat Thampi Rd Singh M Ashwin Kartikeya & Last but not least Ishan. He has to go. I gave the kid a benefit of 2nd chance after seeing him do well in 2020 season. But the truth is the kid has a bad attitude and often plays for his own. What was the point of yesterday's 50. If he is dropped again this year that would be 5 in a row.

Our batting woes existed before this guy was picked to play. Why he was selected? Does it make sense, who picked him etc are digressions to the fundamental question: Why have we batted poorly all season? RoSha Kishan Pollard have been tailender like. SKY's played a flash in the pan innings every once in a while. Not dependable. Even now, when we have nothing to lose, we bat so cautiously. The rot in batting has to be fixed top down. zen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree that he is obviously not the reason MI is in a trench. But the point here is that MI, despite having some of the most illustrious names in their team management, doesn't even appear to do some basic research before picking someone in their squad. What is the use of so many big names in their management team? How did players like this guy just slip through the cracks? Now, he might go on to play a blinder one day, but the overall records and whatever little I watched of him today don't suggest that there is a high likelihood of that happening.

nevada Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It's high time for some resignations, starting with Rohit. The coaching staff also needs to be sacked. Making a habit of winning has caused too much complacency to seep in. Its time to get rid of tbe Deadwood and start afresh.

bowl_out Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Maybe CSK's batting and MI's bowling would have made a good team.. A team made of Csk bowling and MI batting would be perfect wooden spoon contenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MI had no money left to pick anyone. Most of these domestic players are their last minute pick to complete their minimum squad. Picked at base price. What his domestic stats were didn't even matter.
