Pollard inspires as Mumbai wins again

MUMBAI, India, CMC- Lendl Simmons failed with the bat while Kieron Pollard scored an unbeaten knock that inspired as Mumbai Indians recovered to beat Delhi Daredevils by five wickets with three balls to spare in the Indian Premier League (IPL) yesterday.

Simmons was removed for a duck in the first legal delivery of the innings while his Trinidad and Tobago colleague Pollard smashed 26 from 14 balls, pushing Mumbai to 153 for five after Daredevils posted 152 for six at Wankhede Stadium.

Mumbai had lost four wickets for 40 runs on the chase including the Simmons who was beaten by a length ball swinging back into the right-handed batsman to pin him in front.

However Simmons made amends to some extent with a marvellous, diving catch at point in the penultimate over to dismiss Yuvraj Singh.

Singh was the man of the innings for Delhi Daredevils scoring 57 off 44 balls to help them recover from a poor start.

Pollard’s knock was punctuated with three sixes including one from the second ball he faced and the first ball from the penultimate over that set the tone from there.

Pollard’s hitting seemed to have inspired Ambati Rayudu who was also undefeated with a top score of 49.

Earlier Rayudu teamed up with Rohit Sharma, who scored 46, to stage a healthy recovery for Mumbai.

I have seen mainly highlights and all the Windians seem to be doing well, Smith, Bravo, Pollard, Simmons etc.

Saw a fantastic match changing run out of Kohli by Bravo which was absolutely sensational.

Smith has been lashing as usual and Simmons has got a couple 50s at the top with Pollard chipping in with all round performances, a couple match winning.

I just saw this run out now. Amazing bit of fielding off his own bowling.

Clowns do well in a Circus.

Excellent Batsman  and 20 overs Slogfest  does not compute.

More like : There are some excellent sloggers in  India SlogFest !

I would say your pet hates (not that you are prejudiced or can be reeled in in any way....far to superior for all and sundry)
plus Sammy, that Jamaican chappy Lloyd wants to play test cricket are predominantly sloggers.

Well you seem to have a lot to say that is irrelevant ...

As a technique batsman I know for a fact that Slogging will only destroy a Technique batsman game !!

Couple of shots may look great as you correctly point out ...

but again as you correctly point out : I am superior in knowledge on these matters

I did apologise to you for getting too personal about you not being able to keep a wife leaving children to be bought up, predominantly, without a father.
