He bats - he scores - MI fails . He bats - He fails - MI tastes success - the story in this IPL. Ponting stepped down on his own we are told - ST will also do that as he is team player.
1.Sehwag.Attack from the first ball and maximum utilisation of power play.Once set can play long without compromising natural play 2.Chris Gayle.Take some time to settle and target weak links of bowling in a very destructive manner 3.Michael Hussey.Very busy player who converts singles into twos and waits for loose deliveries to put away cleanly 4.Dhoni.Last 5 6 overs are his favourite period.Can finish in his trademark style by taking on even the best bowlers during that period. 5.Sachin.Try to play straight bat shots in the beginning but once find it is not that productive tries for cross batted and inventive shots which can be resulted in his early exit very common now a days he gets LBW on straight or inswinging deliveries.
Not sure if anyone has read his recent interview in rediff and other cricket sites. He has clearly stated that he will play as long as he is interested and allowed to play by BCCI,team management ,selection committee inspite of his failures. He also stated that he has already been aware of his poor performances and said that he will try his best to perform well till he decides to quit cricket by himself. But in this process, if he gets dropped, he said that he wont mind and will try his best to come back to side through performance etc.
The pride of Indian cricket is no more good enough to continue playing cricket.He wont retire till he gets his fees for playing cricket.MI should drop him and allow other younger players to open the innings.Sachin should realise that he is an emberassment to his team.
When Ponting and Gilchrist are sitting out, Sachin has to sit out as he has failed in almost all the games. he is playing only for the crows.It is high time he gives a chance to young and better guys. He is only after the crows.

Should Preity Zinta sit out from Kings X1 games - she is their icon. Similarly Sachin cannot sit out from MI games - he is their icon.
