IPL match 47: Mumbai Indians v Delhi Daredevils at Visakhapatnam, May 15, 2016

Fails of the Match

Delhi Daredevils

• Imran Tahir: He is arguably the worst spin bowler in the entire history of international cricket. He never bowls anything decent. It really leaves me wondering how healthy the mental condition of the daredevil management. Why would anyone play for someone like Imran Tahir to play for their team? This is a person that will struggle to make the first-class cricket side in India’s domestic competition. In this match Tahir wins the title of most runs conceded by a bowler this season and most conceded by a spinner in the IPL. With every over going for more than 10 and a massive 23 runs off a single over, Tahir end up giving away almost 60 runs for the night. What possess a captain to bowl someone like that? Worse why would any selector pick him to play? This is a complete waste of money from the daredevils to purchase this useless person. The daredevil fans should be very upset.

Mumbai Indians

• Kieron Pollard: most players get better with age. However, this guy has been playing worse and worse as his career progresses. When he first made his name he was one of the most destructive batsman in the world. However, now he struggles to make the West Indies international side in any form of cricket. His 3 from 6 last night sum up his form right now and probably what he will forever be. Poor timing, poor technique and weird shot selection brought up his downfall. His strike rate is like a test match player yet his average is not. It is really disappointing to see players fall from grace like this.
