Controversy == Akhtar

As you all must be aware of the no contest in wankade last night, it was true professional display of some great performance from the Mumbai Indians. As observed earlier they are a force to watch out and they might thrash any team on their day. Given that Jayasurya is peaking in form at the right time and Pollock is just doing great and Sachin id due for the big one. I think MI has a very good chance of making it to the last four, If they make it they have the biggest advantage of playing in the home grounds (both semi-finals and finals) with full support from the Mumbai Crowd.

Akhtar is back in news for all the wrong reasons, caught into yet another controversy of carrying empty syringe. I am sure more than the privilege of watching some high speed bowling, he is going to be an issue for the KKR owners and the IPL management. IPL is now forced to initiate surprise drug tests and put into a quandary to answering the un friendly media.

Its good that Mallya has come out with support to Dravid and team sensing that his earlier comments on team selection has not any good to the team and come out with total support to dravid and team and has accused the media for twisted reports. May be its too little too late for at least this edition of the IPL, but i am sure he has learnt a few lessons from the MI owners on how to deal with failures, after all IPL is sport and not totally business.
