Mumbai lacked consistency, says Wright

MUMBAI: They did a magnificent job of bouncing back and reaching the playoffs despite losing their first five matches on the trot in the UAE, but coach John Wright still seemed a disappointed man after the Mumbai Indians crashed out of the tournament, losing the `Eliminator' to Chennai Super Kings at the Brabourne Stadium on Wednesday night. Admitting that the team badly missed an `impact bowler' after Lankan ace Lasith Malinga's departure, Wright felt that the horrid start hurt the team's chances badly. "We haven't had the consistency that was needed, certainly not at the start.

Lendl Simmons did a magnificent job after coming into the team. He really turned things around for us. We juggled things a little bit. But the trouble with such a start is that sometimes you question your combinations and sometimes it takes a little while to get that right," Wright remarked.

Having said that, the former India coach was still full of praise for his boys for the way the defending champs staged a comeback in the tournament, with the miraculous 190-run chase in 14.4 overs against the Rajasthan Royals last Sunday being the standout effort. "We fought very hard since we have been back in India and I can't fault the boys from the position we were in," Wright said.
