Umar Akmal is a potential batting great

[The Outsider]

so great that noone spent a penny on him for the IPL hahahahaha

Yeah, Pollard is the man with $2.75 million. I was so wrong on the Tendulkars and Dravids as well.

lol the great cleaned up by peter "ordinary" siddle:giggle:

[vvvslaxman]

Yeah' date=' Pollard is the man with $2.75 million. I was so wrong on the Tendulkars and Dravids as well.[/quote'] Naah those millions from the 'silent tie breaker' directly went to LM's bank account. Pollard only got 750k.

[ensd2]

well whats happen to the paki ?

[ensd2]

Yeah' date=' Pollard is the man with $2.75 million. I was so wrong on the Tendulkars and Dravids as well.[/quote'] I think GRAEME SWANN IS BETTER THAN Pollard

That's not relevant. Fact is Mumbai Indians willingly shelled out $2.75 million for Pollard and only around $1 million for Tendulkar.

Don't think SRT being the icon player went to the auctions. Also there were no silent bids in Jan 2008.

Honeymoon over? This guy is a glorified slogger.

Yeah' date=' Pollard is the man with $2.75 million. I was so wrong on the Tendulkars and Dravids as well.[/quote'] $2.75 million is a ridiculous price to pay for a below average cricketer who doesn't even have a regular place in his international team which itself is ranked no 8. Serves MI right for sending someone like Nita Ambani to the auction.

well MI needs Pollard, tehy have been missing big hitter down the order and with Jayasuriya probably phasing out, they needed a big hitter. I think spending on Duminy was waste for MI

[Dravid]

any1 see his dismissal in 2nd ODI 1st ball siddle gives him a sharp bouncer, which khatmal has no idea about next ball bowled top of off stump as khatmal was backing away :hahaha: gutless :)

MI always spend tons of money on unproven cricketers who hardly prove anything because Ambanis don't have any shortage of money. Instead of heaping so much money on undeserving cricketers, I wished they did a little more charity the way other rich people do (Gates, Buffett etc).

One slightly pacey bouncer and his feet were nowhere.

You guys can continue to bump this thread after every failure of Umar, but I still believe 10 years down the line I'll have the last and hearty laugh.

[Sachinism]

bumps are not directed at you personally. Just funz and stuffz :winky:

[Dravid]

You guys can continue to bump this thread after every failure of Umar' date=' but I still believe 10 years down the line I'll have the last and hearty laugh.[/quote'] 10 years from now, pak will be demoted from int. level to division 1 where you will see akmal score 100s against nepal. We will all have a hearty laugh.:giggle:
