MI loses out

Take out Sachin out of MI and the team is a cropper. Yesterday he retired at 45 and the rest of them could not lift their games to continue the winning run.   Chennai are now 4th in the list and that sparks an interesting battle for the 4th team between itself, Kolkata and perhaps Rajasthan Royals. Royals are today at 10 and would go past 12 as they would thump KXIP tonite.

Peculiar example of Keiron Pollard once again proves that the expensive signings do not always result in best performance on the field. Just one sparkling innings and the price zooms up to millions. That does not work.  All expensive signings this year have not fired – Kemar Roach, Shane Bond,  Pollard are prime examples.

So whats the key ? Consistency and experience. That’s what has always counted in the game of cricket and would always do in whatsoever format it is.  Even if you nix corporate and Bollywood jamboorie in it.
