New Delhi: Former South African great Graeme Pollock is sad that the opening duo of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting hasn’t quite “hit it off” for the Mumbai Indians in the ongoing sixth edition of the IPL.

“I am watching the IPL with interest… But I’m just a little sad that the great players Tendulkar and Ponting haven’t really hit it off,” Pollock posted on his Facebook page.

The legendary batsman also added that it’s always difficult to take a call on retirement. “It is always a hard decision to know when to get out,” he said.

Having slumped to their worst defeat in the tournament, Mumbai Indians’ captain Ponting had earlier in the day admitted that his and Sachin’s poor form have affected the team’s performance in the league. (PTI)
