I still can't believe that you'd put Harby in before Duminy. If JP was ever going to be effective, it would be going in at that period.

And if they wanted a hitter, why not Pollard?

Now they have given them a few balls where all they can really do is slog

Ludicrous

 

[Avada Kedavra]

Very bad captaincy from Sachin not to send Pollard.I do not think seending Harby was that bad as he has this uncanny ability to hit a few big ones.

Murali has been epic in the finals. What a champ!

 

[vcs]

Well, there's the game up for Mumbai.

 

[Jono]

Some stupid tactics by Mumbai will cost them the trophy.

 

[Cruxdude]

I wouldn't have sent Harby in and I would have sent Pollard before Duminy.

I don't care who wins this but I hope it goes down to the last over. Doesn't look like it though with Pollard still in the dugout.

Poor juggling of the team order by Sachin....

Poor batting by Sachin too. 48 from 45 balls might just have eaten up too many balls.

Murali!!,
Great spell in a final again.

Overall, pretty happy for SL's bowling going into the 20/20WC. Murali/Malinga look in great form, with Mendis,Mathews and Fernando for support.

 

[The_roc]

Pollard in when the run rate is 17?

Mumbai getting exactly what they deserve ....... nothing

Wasn't one of Sachin's most fluent knocks but a bit silly to blame his batting today.

Pollard.

What. The. ****. was he doing in the dugout for 17 overs?

 

[social]

Dont speak too soon

 

[Jono]

Pollard is oh so good

 

[Cruxdude]

****. We need a spinner now.

 

[Jono]

OMG

****ing amazing

 

[Teja.]

This boy is going to go far! WAG!

 

[Lostman]

Pollard is crazy

Poor juggling of the team order by Sachin....

Can he be blamed for the order when he's in the middle?

 

[vcs]

This is a bit reminiscent of Misbah's batting in the T20 WC finals in '07, but in a more hopeless situation.

But how often does that sort of thing (elevating a tailender up the order to have a whack) work in finals and pressure situations?
