Former South African all-rounder Shaun Pollock today that Sachin Tendulkar’s show with the bat would be crucial to their fortunes in the Twenty20 tournament, beginning on Friday.
“I think Mumbai will need him to play well. Here is a guy so great so you would obviously want him to bat 20 overs and steers the ship through. If he can get some scores he can get the team to victory in some matches,” said the former South African skipper.
Pollock said if poor performance was the criteria for handing out bans to Pakistani cricketers then the punishment is a “bit harsh”. “I don’t know. If their loss in Australia is the reason for the ban then it’s a bit too harsh. Elevens players make a team and they all have to perform. I don’t know what the review system is but it’s not easy to comment when you don’t know the truth,” said a shocked Pollock, when informed about the ban.
