Not much in MI bowling attack beyond Bumrah, feels Lara

Beyond Jasprit Bumrah there is not much in Mumbai Indians bowling attack and they need to improve in that department of the game said West Indian legend Brian Lara after MI lost to Chennai Super Kings by 20 runs in their IPL match hereBumrah 027 from 4 overs had an ordinary day against CSK considering the high standard he sets for himself and captain Hardik Pandya was hammered for three consecutive sixes by peerless MS Dhoni as MI lost the match at home on Sunday nightNot much I think when we look at Mumbai Indians a lot of people have them as favourites simply because they were batting so well they scored 230 runs they chased on 196 made it look very easy 15 overs so on that fact I think we pick them as favourites Lara said on Star Sports Cricket Live ShowBut their bowling is poor Beyond Jasprit Bumrah there is no one to actually support them in that bowling attack and the CSK batters took them apartMI did not use their spinners after the eighth over as Shivam Dube who has been impressive against the slow bowlers was at the creaseThe spinners they only bowled 4 overs after around 7 runs an over but they werent trusted with Shivam Dube out there So MI will have to improve in that area theyve got to find a couple of bowlers matchwinning bowlers the batting great saidWhat it tells me more about this game is that if youve got a good bowling unit like CSK you look at their bowling every single bowler played a part in that game every single bowler We had dot balls at the time we thought that Mumbai Indians were supposed to accelerate they didntAlso ReadThe price of passionOn Pandya being hit for three consecutive sixes in the last over Lara said For me Hardik Pandya had it tough I think he turned himself in the last couple of over the master MS Dhoni did you know three sixes in the last 45 ballsSri Lankan Matheesha Pathirana 428 was the pick of the CSK bowlers who stopped MI to 186 for 6 in 20 overs 21 runs short of winning target and former England captain Kevin Pietersen praised the unorthodox rightarm pacerVery unorthodox and with unorthodox bowlers youve got to sometimes just mind your gap as they say because youve got to get used to his delivery and youve got to get used to where the ball is coming from because its not the ordinary and normal and its abnormalSo youve got to bide your time when hes bowling so beautifully with the older ball and hes also got that wonderful ability to not reverse in swing the ball but hes got the ball to reverse and dip and thats quite a hard ball to facePietersen compared Pathirana with Sri Lanka great Lasith Malinga who is with MI currently as a bowling coachIt was something that Malinga had as well it was reverse but it wasnt reverse in it was reverse down and thats always going away from the angle of where youre trying to hit the ball he saidWhen youve got a bowler thats coming at an angle but its not coming on at a natural angle its coming on at an angle that actually starts to dip on you then you cant actually play the sweep you cant play the ramp because its going to get under your bat and then it also makes it really hard to hit down the ground Its a gem for CSK what a bowlerWith PTI inputs
