Quality fielding from MI. Did brilliantly to leave it for eachother. I really don't enjoy watching MS Dhoni bat. He's a very good player, capable of smashing the ball miles, but he never seems to do it when I'm watching. Just nudges and nurdles looking generally pretty ugly before playing the odd massive shot. Can't doubt his effectiveness, but the ugliness of his batting puts him up alongside the likes of Simon Katich for me. Those 2 batting together would be horrible to watch.

Yeah no doubt. T20 is a short game, and we all have short memories with it.

If Pietersen and Graeme Smith were batting in my backyard, I'd draw the curtains.

We'll have to agree to disagree on KP; but I do agree on Smith. He'd be up there with Katich and Dhoni on my list of players I don't enjoy batting. A few South African's would come close to that list actually. I don't find Smith, Kallis, Prince, McKenzie or Amla particularly entertaining to watch.

Yeah no doubt about that, very ugly to watch. In the league of Smith, Katich and KP in terms of ugly playing. Fantastic T20 and ODI bat and underrated Test bat though.

Pollard's all about his slower balls, if they start getting picked or anticipated he'll get slaughtered.
So he can quickly switch between very effective and liability. He's generally been the former so far.

Agreed with Prince, McKenzie - very dull to watch. But Amla is pretty good and Kallis has his occasional moments of inspiration. AB is very entertaining however.

Especially if the mis-hits don't get taken. 6 or in the air at this stage. Zaheer should be able to take those everytime.
