Even though MI lost i really enjoyed the match.It was a perfect T20 match with a really close finish.Pollard's massive six of 120m is really an amazing one to watch.There is no surprise in the result as MI could never match SARB in terms of fielding and running between wickets and these r decisive factors in a T20 game.
If anyone has seen yesterday match. Everyone would have agreed upon how poor Sachin was as a captain. First going with two spiners on a very small ground was bad. Second his feilding setting had all gone wrong. third and final Malinga was their strike baller and he should have been the one to ball final over which could have given any chance of mumbai wining. - sachins is a great batsman but not a captain

Yup..you are probably right! They dropped some 5-6 catches because of wrong field setting. His main bowler Bhajji, Khan & Bravo gave away runs at 10 runs per over that was his bad captaincy!

You remove Sachin as the captain and place Dhoni instead.....you will see the difference. SACHIN IS WORLD'S POORSET CAPTAIN
That could be arguably the best description of Sachin Tendulkar.
Despite his huge talent, artistry, commitment and class, he couldn't succeed earlier as captain of Indian team.
As captain of Mumbai Indians, he was a non starter in 2008, failed to qualify for semifinals in 2009 and faltered at the finals in 2010.
He skipped the triseries ODI in Srilanka (should be considered a wise decision, since he has nothing to prove or no records to create in ODIs, having scaled the peak) to come home ahead of the rest of the team, practised and prepared hard for the CLT20, his was the first team to arrive in South Africa (as reported in media).
Despite all this commitment and preparation, his team lost narrowly in the first game and now has lost the second game.
Looks like he has to consult some astrologer, numerologist, palmist.....
