Always trust Dhoni. For some reason he just inspires confidence. I honestly feel his leadership and calm is the reason why Chennai have won 2 titles + Champions League (as well as India's World Twenty20 + ODI World Cup). If Chennai somehow make the top 4 they will probably end up winning this IPL. I would back them under pressure. Delhi and Mumbai crumble under pressure.

Dhoni plays best under pressure, believes in the game until the lastball. He got a special shot to hit six for near yorker length balls which comes handy in last overs. Helicopter shot!

Watson backs Dhoni.

Mumbai won many tight matches as well. More than Chennai did in this IPL.

Excellent. Thanks!

Of course, this one shits all over both of them...and I hate giving our little brothers credit for anything.

It's our year, boys!

OUTSTANDING!! Top of the line!

Kings XI in with a chance here. I guess I support them, as crap as they are.

It would be amazing if they pulled off a play off's spot. Even if they beat Chennai today I think they play Delhi again.

Chennai's 3/44 off 9 but have a fair bit of fire power left in the lineup.

 

[dajesmac]

Amazing, this Awana guy has 2/4 off 3 overs. Big chance of a boilover here.

 

[dajesmac]

Yep, Gilly's done it. KXP now with a slight chance of qualifying.

 

[red+black]

Gayle 128* (62) 7x4 13x6

204* partnership for the 2nd wicket, 2nd best in IPL

His first 9 balls: 1 . . . . . . . .

He moved on to 38 (34)

His last 19 balls: 6 . 6 6 1 1 6 6 6 1 1 6 6 1 6 1 1 . 6 1

Gayle is a freak

His biggest quality is that he doesn't need a full extension of his arms flowing through the shot for it to be a six. He is so powerful that he can just stand there and send the ball to the stands with just a "short arm jab", no footwork required nor a proper follow through of the bat. Amazing really.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

We got well and truly Gayled last night!

Happy that we didn't fall too short without Sehwag in the team. Morkel would have made a huge difference to our bowling last night as well.

Still our tournament to win, Daredevils!

I think Kings XI Punjab can still qualify for the play offs if one of RCB or Mumbai lose ( Mumbai has to lose by a decent margin) their final game.

But this means nothing if they can't topple Delhi. Which they won't. It'll be a travesty if we qualify haha.

Warner made 79 off 44

Chennai have snatched another game.

Hilfy looks dead on his feet tonight.

Chennai with another finals win. Dhoni once again performs in a final 60 odd off 20 balls. Hussey did well again. Prepare for the Chennai onslaught; they will win the title. The other two have too many chokers in their team whilst Chennai have Dhoni, Morkel and Hussey; three top line finals performers. KKR will be a test as Gambhir does perform. Delhi will start favourites against Chennai but will crumble under pressure.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Delhi having no luck lately.

Play KKR at a neutral venue. We base our team on pace, they base theirs on spin. Groundsman produces a massive dustbowl. FML.

Now we have to play Chennai...in Chennai. Hardly seems fair...if Chennai win, the final will also be played there. So Chennai may finish fourth and play 2/3 finals at home, we finish first and we don't even get a look in for a home game.

Seems a shit system.

 

[dajesmac]

Wtf? Chennai hosting? That is hugely shit.

Delhi should be hosting regardless.

Two amazing shots from Dhoni the other day,

The venues for the playoffs are decided on the basis of the previous year's results if I'm not mistaken.

I assumed it was for capacity.

That's a stupid system if true. But I doubt it anyway; we played our first final against KKR at Pune's stadium, and they did shit all last season (as well as this one!).
