MUMBAI INDIAN'S DEMERITS AND THE REASONS FOR NOT QUALIFYING AS FOLLOWS:

1. WHO IS LALCHAND RAJPUT HAS HE PLAYED ATLEAST 10 MATCHES?  how could a man with 2TESTS AND 4 ODIS as an experiance to coach a team

2. MUMBAI TEAM  was a lot dependent on the S  CUBE thats Sachin,Sanath,Shaun

3. Actualy they didn't have any  STRIKE BOWLER WHO COULD TAKE WICKETS ,remember shaun was only ECONOMICAL

4. THORNELEY AND LUKE RONCHI FAILED WITH BAT

5. DWAYNE BRAVO'S EXIT AND CHANGE OF CAPTAINCY IN BETWEEN THE TOURNAMENT

BASICALLY THEY WERE NOT FEELING THAT RUSH OR ANY SORT OF TEMPO TO WIN CRUNCH GAMES.LOT OF EXPERIANCED SENIOR PLAYERS HANDLED THE SITUATIONS LIKE A 50 OVER MATCH.PROBABLY SENIORS IN THE TEAM WITH A LACK OF T20 EXPERIANCE PAVED THE WAY FOR THEIR TEAM TO NOT TO QUALIFY FOR THE SEMIS.

whereas look at other teams which qualified for the semis, its all abt youngsters who delivered it on when it was needed.

It was shabby fielding.

They misfielded so many times.

They had all the chances of a win.

First of all i would like to remind you that they are still not out from the tournament. If DC beat CSK then Mumbai have to beat RCB.

If this doesn't happen then they will be out.

I think they played really well but the four consecutive losses in the start of tournament led them down.

I think the main reasons are

1) absence of Sachin in the first half.

2) Harbhajjan Singh was made the captain in the first 4 matches which Mumbai Indian lost, i think Shaun Pollock should 've been made the captain in place of Bhajji in the first 4 matches.

3) Mumbai Indians lost some close matches.

4) Their batsman were not firing in the first 4-5 matches.

5) They lost to Rajasthan which was the most crucial of all the matches.

Chennai Super Kings made it to the semi-finals!

MUMBAI DOESN'T HAVE A BALANCED TEAM. IF SACHIN AND JAYSURYS FAIL, IT IS ALL OVER FOR MUMBAI INDIANS. THEY NEED SOLID MIDDLE ORDER BATSMEN AND A LOT BETTER OPENING BOWLERS THAN WHAT THEY HAVE.

Rajasthan Royals needed 15runs in the last over and the over was bowled by Dilarp Fernandes,who was the most successful bowler for Bombay Indians. The penultimate ball of the last over was bowled by him as a wide as a result of which Bombay Indians got one more ball. Then he failed to stop the ball on his follow-through and Jayasuriya failed to restrict the batsman in taking the 2nd run. This ledtheir defeat against Rajasthan Royals and chance to qualify for semi final birth.

Further, they had very dismal performance in the first couple of matches because of non-availability of Sachin Tendulkar and lack of form of Jayasuriya.
