mumbai indians vs chennai superkings
Mumbai Indians' new signings, Pragyan Ojha and Richard Levi, made immediate impact to set up an easy win over defending champions Chennai Super Kings in the season opener. Richard Levi swiped his way to a 35-ball 50 in an easy chase, but it was Ojha who made the crucial contribution. He made a seamless transition from Deccan Chargers to Mumbai, taking two wickets in his first two overs to pull Super Kings just when they were threatening to break free.
This was the poorest opening match of an IPL season ever. In 2008, there was Brendon McCullum's blitzkrieg in Bangalore. In 2009, as the bandwagon moved to South Africa where the batting conditions were tougher, there was Sachin Tendulkar batting 20 overs for an unbeaten and match-winning 59 from 49 balls. In 2010, there was Kolkata Knight Riders edging Deccan Chargers in a hard-fought opener in Mumbai. In 2011, there was Chennai Super Kings beating Kolkata in a nail-biter.
England have the captain they want and the debate they do not need. A standing ovation from the travelling supporters when Andrew Strauss reached what was surely was one of his most painstaking Test half-centuries indicated that the public, at least, feels the talking can now stop.
The debate has been a valid one as any dispassionate analysis of Strauss' batting form reveals. But even those England fans who had dozed their way through a somnolent second day at the P Sara Oval roused themselves briefly to make their loyalty known. Many had long surrendered to the exhausting April heat which threatened to widen the cracks in a desperately slow pitch but which failed to expose any cracks in England's set-up.
