Pollock is the man. The tournament, despite its format lending itslef to youth, has seen the oldies rule the roost. We have seen Mcgrath give his latest impression of Ice-Man, Warne that of Dumbledore and yesterday Pollock showed that he could be Mandela.
The comaprision may be stupid. But, Pollock showed that leaders can pull an entire side with them. He hit 33 runs in quick time. Then took crucial wickets. Brought on Dominic Thornley to pick Sehwag ( a rank long hop full toss admittedly) and clung on to the important catches.
But, the biggest contribution was to make people try their level best. Ashish Nehra diving across at long on to save a Dinesh Karthick shot. Somwhow, Pollock congratulating Nehra soon after the effort made it more special. A big cheer for Pollock and here is a wish that Mr Tendulkar finally plays a game.

The Return
It was a return worth waiting for as The Sheikh of Tweak spun his team to victory. For four overs, it was as if a time machine had dropped us in the 1990s, as Shane Warne mesmerized Ms Priety Zinta's team.
The IPL has seen some outstanding cricket - none better than my man McCullum's outstanding effort. But, for sheer class Pollock, Mcgrath and Warne have held sway over the rest. So, will the oldies still be the ones to beat or will youngsters finally assert themselves in "The Youngster's Game".
