Champions again!! For the 38th time..
And Mumbai did this with the wrong team!
Think about it - the squad contains 4 openers ( Jaffer, Rahane, Kukreja and Mane) and they open with Vinayak Samant, the wicket keeper.
The squad has, for most of the season ridden on the shoulders of one bolwer. A rookie.
Its most promising left arm spinner is a no show, its only genuine all rounder is down with dengue for most of the season.
The team selection raised more questions ( and more than a few hackles).
And yet, they won 5 of the 7 league game, beat HP outright before winning against Saurasthra on the basis on the basis of the first innings and beat U.P outright in the finals!
And all of this with the backdrop of the outrage inMumbai.
The only explanation I have for Mumbai's run - either God is a Mumbaikar or Praveen Amre has used up all good luck cards this season ( and we are in for a lot of pain in the next) !
