gaurav92 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 :two_thumbs_up: With Mumbai Indians needing someone to stay there till the very end....its not quite happening in this edition of IPL so far....some might say that only Duminy's willow in the middle order is firing consistently...but IMO its not Duminy who can do the job alone.....he needs some support from other players as well But I think DUMINY scored 52(48) alright but it was not the kind of knock Mumbai needed... we needed duminy to play a safe game early on and when the target difference or simply the run rate bounces upto 9 he mustnt be afraid to play the big shots...he didnt do that but he turned on the strike everytime and got to his fifty putting mumbai's chances of winning in the gamble..... m not saying that he washed away mumbai's chances of winnng but m just pointing out as a :mi: supporter where duminy has to improve... he should not leave the hitting to the final 2-3 overs as at that time under pressure u cant strike the ball as easily as u can at some previous stage.... JP is a key player for us and needs to play the anchor role as well as play the big shots whenever the run rate req. climbs up to keep up the pace with the run rate...they should not get bocked down by the fall of wickets :two_thumbs_up: :two_thumbs_up: :two_thumbs_up: :two_thumbs_up: :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holysmoke Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Duminy is too raw. He hasnt grasped what his role is fully. The reason Pinal shah went for that wild slog was because JP had 3 dot balls in that over and then took a single. It was the same thing in the earlier game.

gaurav92 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 i think JPdumiony gets a lil bocked down after getting a start and he cant play strokes under pressure at any given time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomainK Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Apart from tendulkar, Jayasuriya, Bhajji and ZAK, MI doesn't have any batsmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaurav92 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thats a dumb comment to make considering how Duminy has done better than all of the above. if u go by stats thats alright but if u go by the way duminy has played in tuff situations i dont think he played that well...he was sort of ok ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic23 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Um, if MI haven't lost by bigger margins, its because of Duminy. I think he's their best human batsman - he's been consistent and has tried in every single game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUminy has played his part on most occasions, Nayar is the one along with Bravo(other than the RCB game) who have been off color, in the last few games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic23 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Nayar played a horrendous shot. Bravo has been off color throughout the tournament barring that 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaurav92 Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 nayar had dissapointed all the mumbai fans after the promise he gave in the first game when he smashed freddie out of the ground for some huge sixes....after that its been all mystery for mumbai :(( :(( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamy Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Nah, Nayar is a good player. Didn't you see IPL-1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohum Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Nayar is a good player - What has been happening for MI is that the top two are not giving us the start we need. That leaves the burden of scoring almost entire runs on the middle order. This puts way more pressure on them and in an effort to slog - they throw away their wicket. Duminy has scored 50+ in 3 games. These would have been sufficient - if the TOP order would have scored. We definitely need reshuffling of batting - to have stability in the middle order.

ViruRulez Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Duminy is the most consistent MI batsmen and I dont know how n00bs think he is not a good finisher .. what can he do when wickets at the other end choke and crumble .. he has been even better than Sachin and Jaya in this tournament if I take into consideration that he is in the middle order and has got a lot more pressure than the openers as he is the middle order mainstay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Duminy's been good.it was Bravo n Nayar that cost them the game from a comfortable position Duminy put them in after a bad start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboysfan Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 lol-i cant believe bambis are complaining about Duminy now -i can see other more heralded players laying a big egg for them and dont hear a peep from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomainK Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I feel sorry for him as in most matches everything falls on his shoulders. But he mostly seems to do an unfinished job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I have been consistently criticising him and mumbai management that he won't turn out to be a great buy.. he would score 30s and 50s, but won't win.. too slow for this format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
