IPL Mumbai Indians

[rahuldravidfan]

^ Yep. You seem Sri Lankan. You know better. But in T20s, a couple of 6s and we're all cool again

 

[Gaurav_7]

C'mon man, one good innings and Sanath will be back. DW!

A couple of sixes isn't enough tbh, he always gets the starts but doesn't go on to make a big score.For mumbai to win he or sachin would obviously have to score big!

Mike23 added 1 Minutes and 34 Seconds later...

That isn't this sanath that's the sanath of yesteryear!

That's true for mumbai to win Sachin should play at his best.
Also the opening pair should not be experimented, It was a crap decision last seaaon.
Napier and Pollard should come in middle to hold it or no chance to mumbai.

Well for the first my team would be this...

Sanath
Sachin
Rayudu
JP Duminy
Madan(wk)
Nayar
Napier
Bhajji
Dhawal
Zak
Malinga

This will be a good chance of Sanath and JP do get their form back because if you see Royals they are missing some players and are full of youngsters and also at Brabourne Stadium few teams win.

I dont understand why all Mumbai matches are at Brabourne(20,000) when they have DY Patil which is thrice its capacity and I am sure they will be getting a full house every game with Sachin playing. Could have got more revenue..

 

[AkshayS]

Sachin
Jayasuriya
Duminy
Rahane
Napier
Madan
Nayar
Bhajji
Zak
Dhawal
Malinga.
Since WEstindian players won't be available.

Rahane hasnt been selected in the 23-man squad for the first game, so i guess he wont play.

How stupid is Mumbai Indians ?

 

[.Mob]

We'll decide by where they play Nayar in the batting line up.

 

[Cricketman]

As long he's in the XI it'll be all good.

He was an absolute savior in season one.

 

[AkshayS]

Stupid decision by MI by not picking Rahane.

Napier.... Dark Horse?

 

[icyman]

MI hasnt really got any big names in its line-up barring their two openers. This is what might eventually pull them down.

 

[AkshayS]

^man a team doesn't need star names.
They have much players who are dark horses. Also 30-40 are good in T20s.

what MI has to do is to be together, confident and work on their strategies a bit more.
Sachin, Robin and Jhonty has to do the job of binding the team together.

 

[SciD]

Watch out for Tare the keeper. He will be player of this season.

And if you think Zak, Bhajji, JPD and Dwayne Bravo are flops then I have no problems.

Edit: add Pollard to it.
