Interview with Shaun Pollock
Not the best of the starts what do you think are your chances in this game ?
]SP:- Ya we lost a couple of wickets at the end the main wicket for us was that of J.P.Duminy loosing him early has
got us into some kind of trouble.But all said Jayasuriya is still at the crease and with Bravo and Abhishek Nayar to follow
I think it wont be difficult for us.
What do you think about IPL coming to india ?
SP:- Its a good move this.The crowd here loves the sport a lot and there will be alot of people coming in for the matches.
It will be a good exposure for indian domestic cricketers to play in England and get the taste of the international flavour.
Thanks alot for talking all the best for the chase.
SP:- thanks..

Post match presentation:-
Hello and welcome to the post match presentation ceremony
First we would like to call Sachin Tendulkar the loosing captain
Not a good chase sachin what do you think was the turning point ?
ST:- We were in a good position till the end of 9 overs but then loosing two wickets just before the strategic break didnt helped us.If jayasuriya could have batted about 5 more overs we could have a different result.Surely it gives us alot of positives and we hope to carry them forward in the tournament.
Thanks and all the best for you next match..
Now could we call upon the winning captain M.S.Dhoni .
Good start to tournament how does it feel to start of with a win ?
Dhoni:- Yea it feels good to start of with a win. We had a plan for Sachin and Sanath its good that we executed it well and got them without doing much damage and that helped us apply some pressure and get a win..
Thanks M.S for talking with us and you are the man of the match as well
all the best for your next match.
FINAL RESULT:- Chennai Super Kings win by 33 runs.
