Well, Shane Watson,why had you hidden to-day's knock till the last game?If only you had played in this style from the begining RR would have been in the POs.As you yourself admitted this knock has come too late in the day.The reason why you didn't play such knock earlier must be either lack of self belief or lack of clarity in mind in regard to the batting approach.May be will see a new and devastating Shane Watson playing for Australia in the coming years.Anyway,it was a memeorable knock and a fitting parting gift for Warne's farewell match.
The only team retained the local players is CSK(Ashwin,badri,murli,anirudh,vidyut,mukkul etc),if Dhoni will leave then this local youngster will carry on CSK,other franchise will have hard time to regroup,even MI is having less Marathi players.
Rajasthan Royal pathetic both the losses to KKR with poorest total of 87 was difficult to blieve..Shane Warne hardly bowled in that match..both the matches lost KKR was deliberate by Warne and a gift to his friend manipulator SRK...

mukesh ambani is better looking than shilpa - that means it must be other way round -- great logic
Sachin (nor his fans)does not like criticisms.He like only praise .if He had taken criticisms, MI would not have dipped as low as this.Rohit sharma should open with a good foreign player.Sachin should provide an anchor role and form the back bone of Batting in case they loose early wickets.Sachin should come two down .With this only they will reach a good score or provide a good chase .Sachin opens cautiously and wastes 10 overs.What can a team with Pollards,Symonds and Rayudu do ?play blietkrieg..to take to good score...?ultimately they end in loosing wickets...As I told early,Sachin is only a good scorer ,not a match winner.

he wants other player to take risk like veeru does in odis and he takes his own time to settle down
Even though i m fan of MI,i wanted them to get knock-out of IPL,we wanted to see good cricket which Punjab & RCB entertains recently not a boring team like MI which is so scared to play even with minnows,Sachin is to blame if MI gets knocked out world class batsmen cannot increase the run rate or hits 4,MI will be better without Sachin in next IPL edition.

sachin try to bat through out the inning why he avoid taking risk in power play why he wants other player to take risk like veeru does in odis and he takes his own time to settle down

yes, because even though sachin has got runs in this ipl, but his strike rate is just 107, all top scorers have better strike rates. This is one of the big reasons for mi's ordinary net run rate and ultimately can spell disaster for mi because kxip has a better runrate.
