.... it was a young man's game !
.... it was a batsman's game !
Clearly they had not reckoned about these great old warriors - a Lankan and a Protean now playing as "Indians" and producing performances like this and this.
Put in a slightly assisting wicket, and fill the opposition team with batsmen full of suspect technique and that is a classic recipe for Shaun Pollock to create havoc.
It is hard to believe that their respective countries have found these aged warriors redundant !
Seriously speaking, Kolkata's batting lineup is VERY weak. In the last few games the reason they have done so well is their bowling and fielding. In my opinion, Ganguly is easily the best player in the side and that's not saying much. I can't understand why Tatenda Taibu was benched - Mohammad Hafeez has hardly done anything of note at all.
As for the Mumbai Indians, well now they are a serious force to be reckoned with. The only question is how long will Jayasuriya's dream run last ? And will there be another one come semifinals time ?
Revenge Battle Results
Pollock v Ganguly - No show/Draw
Jayasuriya v Hussey - No show
Bravo v Shukla - No show
Jayasuriya v Ishant - Jayasuriya gets the revenge !

Only thing i can say about Mumbai Indians.. is that i don't want Chennai Super Kings to face them in the semi finals... Home crowd makes the team deadly...
We will know the team's true strength when they travel to Hyderabad on May 18..
