Superkings going good...As usual their main player (at the top) hayden is going bang bang..He is leading run scorer in this edition upto now..i guess he is 38 still going very strong..CSK will be looking around 170-180 because SC have Gilly and Gibs at the top

 

[SaiSrini]

CSK have to get 160 odd to be in a good position. The par total on this ground is 145, but we should have 160+ to get that cushion. If we can get to 170 and above, it would be great enough. Good move by Dhoni to push himself up to No.3 to get out of the batting slump. Vijay is batting well. As usual, a blitzkrieg super innings from Hayden.

CSK are going on top tonight :

 

[SaiSrini]

CSK finish with 178/3, which is a very good score considering that DC has to chase 179 under lights (batting second under lights is always tougher as has been proved in this IPL). Dhoni finally showed glimpses of what he can actually do after having a poor run of form in this IPL. Morkel really has been worrying. He has hit a poor patch himself and had Badri come in place of Morkel, we could have got 180+ maybe.

Anyways, right now the advantage lies a little with CSK (though Gibbs, Gilly and Deccan are a big proposition). GAME ON!!! Hope CSK wins

 

[SciD]

This is crap. Gilly was not out.

 

[gudduthemaster]

is he??:
DC in great trouble

 

[SciD]

Smith is trying hard to get out but fielders are not assisting. DC will do well to score 50 runs.

 

[King Pietersen]

They've got more than 50

Dwayne Smith and Rohit Sharma are awesome. Not as awesome as Jeremy Coney's poem though. He's taken over from David Lloyd as the funniest Cricketing Commentator. Legend.

This is crap. Gilly was not out.

I dont see any pathetic umpiring.I saw both of those replays,and both were absolutely correct decisions.

Seems we forgot to wash the lunch butter off our hands.Pretty sloppy fielding really.Maybe due to the winds :
Jakati has another four wicket haul.This guys really has some talent.Having back to back four wicket hauls.

[Gurjot95]

Yes great victory by CSK. There were great in all fields. They batted well and then they bowled Deccan for only 100 runs and now CSK are on 1st spot
