Unfair with McGrath! McGrath couldn’t get a single chance to play this time and this is highly unfair with a player like him. He had played a crucial role in last season and deserved a place in the team. It’d be better had they appointed him as a coach. He’s so disappointed and has revealed that also. They have made a mockery of him. At least, when they had fixed their place for semifinal they could give him a chance to play and evaluate his fitness. Poor Pidge! As a cricket fan I’m really sorry for him. He’s a true fighter and a gentle player (except a controversy with Sarvan, he’s no issue with him). Bye Pidge..have a happy time ahead!

Rightly said. DD have been totally unfair to this legend. Agreed Dirk Nannes has been performing well for DD. But why did'nt they pick him atleast in the last couple of league matches even after clinching a semi-final berth ??? If having leftarm seamers was the logic, then DD has Ashish Nehra & Pradeep Sangwan to do the job. It is an utter waste of talent to bench Mcgrath through out this IPL. He has already expressed doubts on his participation next year due to the shoddy treatment meted out to him. Cricket lovers worldwide have been deprived of watching the legend in action this time & most probably would never get the opportunity again in future.
Sachin's ability ,Performance is declined and also become old by age but Sachin forcing public embracement.
Sachin is unfit for Captain and his views ,ideas are outdated and making Mumbai IPL team players disable.
Sachin may be rich by money as he scored runs in Tests and ODI matches as he played for number of years but truely not worth even to win a major cup by self.
Sachin has no luck factor backing and it is proved many times true.
Sachin should understand and give away his place for the sake of INDIA to win many Cups by draging out his unluck factor & selfishness.

I don't want to replace Kallis. I want to replace M.Boucher for J.Ryder. Uthppa should wicket-keeping and come down the order.

Uthappa has lost confidence under average captaincy of Kumble. Captain should give him confidence and release the pressure on him.

I don't think Sehwag is in form. He needs 2-3 good innings consistently then we can say he is in form. I think Vaas will make come back today. I still believe DC will beat DD despite of their lose yesterday.

I feel DC's bowling is not up to mark. too many part timers. nothing can be said in t20, but now that both openers of DD have confidence, DD have edge.
The day Sachin was made captain of MI, team's fate was decided.. Sachin may be a good player, but not a good captain. It has been proved again and again and again...Hope MI management realizes atleast in next edition of IPL.

sachin is not fit for 20-20 and also he plays for his own score and he has not even 1% ability to lead a side.
