'F off Vijay' is what I shouted as soon as Venu took the catch! :D
DD is bowling really well today.

Yup man, one of the best catches of this IPL. But I would say, Nadeem should get 4 overs quota on this pitch. Hope Dhoni would be flop today. :thumbs

63 off 31 balls from the man, the captain, the boss, MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI!!!!!!:D:wave Badrinath 55 off 43 balls!!! Royal spanking in those last 2 overs - 20 runs and 17 runs apiece! When Hopes had 2 overs remaining, he could have easily limited the damage by bowling himself for one of those overs. Well its always said captains either over bowl or under bowl themselves, and Hopes unfortunately did the second thing.

Badri should easily make the Indian side for the WI ODI's now. It would be really stupid if they ignore Badri again this time.

50 Runs scored in last 3 overs. :eek: Aaron's superb spell goes in vain as Agarkar and Pathan were very bad in death overs. Its always fascinating to watch devastating MS Dhoni, like the old one. :clap:clap:clap strike rate above 200...

177 without Sehwag is just impossible, so don't get surprised if game gets over within 15 overs or so, under 100 runs. :p

Spectacular catch from Bravo!!!! That was a real "Karbonn Kamal" blinder!:lol CSK have started the choking strategy already (only 4 runs per over off the last 3).

After being 50/0 after 5 overs, we just lost plot. Certainly did miss Viru as nobody capitalized on the good start. We started well with the ball as well as with the bat, but just couldn't get the victory.

Excellent work on the field by the Chennai boys! Especially Bravo, Vijay, Saha, Hussey and Raina did a great job. They took their catches which made the difference in the end. To the top of the table now. 2 games to go, hope we can end up at No.1 or No.2 in the table which will give us two chances to make it to the finals.:clap:cheers

Would love to see Dhoni play like this more often for India too. Probably not as much pressure here which he has while captaining India. But he performs much better when he is attacking right from the start.

Its ironical that the last two games of the league stages of the IPL will feature all the four teams that look the most likely to make it the playoffs. CSK plays RCB in the day game, and MI plays KKR in the night game on May 22 which is the last day for the league stages. So the last day of the league stage will most likely decide who will play Qualifier 1 and who will play the Eliminator.

Hmm. That's good to know Sai. CSK would like to thump RCB while MI will look to keep KKR at no.3 or 4. :thumbs

That was mind-blowing ground fielding from CSK, that's why they are table-toppers now. Bravo's catch was the best one so far in IPL-4. Raina bowled beautifully, just 16 runs from his 4 overs. :clap

Irfan Pathan was trying hard to get DD win but failed as there was no support for him. Hopes lost all hopes, missed Sehwag today. Still I will say posting more than 150 was outstanding effort against quality bowling and fielding side, and that too in the absence of Sehwag. :clap Ashwin was as always awesome with his variations. :cheers

Only 3 men ere responsible for today's loss... WARNER (just 21 off 25 balls :lol), Agarkar's pathetic spell (1/49) and not the least HOPES fr his outstanding captaincy & all-rounding ability. :D

Hard fightback by Delhi Daredevils. Din't expect them to give such a great fightback! 159 against Chennai bowling with in experienced batting order is something which needs an appreciation:thumbs.
