a casual look of the first photo,it appears there's a ghost image of Munaf,a closer look shows Pollard juxtaposed so beautifully from top to bootom but for a little bit of his face and hand.
They tend to waste first 1 or 2 overs not trying to score runs. If regular batsmen don't want to take risks in first 2 overs, they might as well send Malinga and Harbhajan to open the batting.

MI has won the champions trophy only when (i.e. only because) sachin did not play in the team either as a captain or as a player...
Herschelle Gibbs would be an ideal partner for Sachin Tendulkar to open the innings for MI. With his experience he would be able to farm the bowling alongwith Sachin and give a good start to the innings.

James Franklin should be dropped for Herschelle Gibbs as his bowling too has not had an impact.
