18.2  R.Bose to P.Shah, Six!  (6) 
18.3  R.Bose to P.Shah, Nice yorker! The batsmen gets a thin inside edge and the ball flies past the legstump and the keeper. Fine leg fields to keep it down to two.  (2) 
18.4  R.Bose to P.Shah, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (3) 
18.5  R.Bose to S.Bangar, Swing and a miss. No run.  (0) 
18.6  R.Bose to S.Bangar, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1)

19.2  D.Mascarenhas to P.Shah, He's absolutely NAILED that one, but the man in the deep makes a fantastic save, pushing the ball back in just in time! His teammate picks up the ball and hurls it in and they save a run, good teamwork.  (3) 
19.3  D.Mascarenhas to S.Bangar, Edged and through the vacant gully region for four! And just after the captained had removed a man from there! Don't you just hate it when that happens?  (4) 
19.4  D.Mascarenhas to S.Bangar, The batsman has a wild slog, and gets enough to send the ball to the fence for four! Not the best looking shot, but it certainly was effective.  (4)

9.6  JP Duminy to A.Nayar, Good ball, he goes for the cut, it's too close to cut, he's inside edged it, and it misses the stumps by a whisker! The keeper tidies up and there is no run. Phew that was close.   (0)

10.1  V.Sehwag to K.Pietersen, Edged and over the slip fielder! Two runs while third man tidies up.  (2) 
10.2  V.Sehwag to K.Pietersen, Ahhh that's poor fielding. The batsman taps it away for a single, and the fielder fires in an over-eager throw well wide of the stumps. No one is backing up and some the batsmen run two more in overthrows! The captain isn't happy!  (3) 
10.3  V.Sehwag to A.Nayar, Tries to late cut that away but misses it, and the ball thuds into the keeper's gloves. No run.  (0)

10.5  V.Sehwag to K.Pietersen, Oooh! Good ball, yorker length delivery on the legstump. The batsman just barely gets his bat down on time, and the non striker urges him through for a quick single.  (1)

Chennai Champions vs. Kolkata Hawks


Kolkata Hawks - 124/10 in 19.3 overs. 
Chennai Champions - 125/2 in 13.3 overs. 



Chennai Champions wins the match by 8 wickets

Dhawal Kulkarni was named the Man Of The Match.
 
Awesome!!! :banana2:banana2:banana2:banana2:banana2
Tyagi has wrecked havoc on Ahmedabad.
Daniel Vettori sees us through again with a lot of support from Johan Botha who didn't quite deliver the goods with the ball.
We're not at all worried about the form of a few players as anything can happen in this format of the game.
We are fortunate enough to still remain unbeaten as we had a couple of very close shaves.
We'd like to carry this momentum in to the semis and not choke again.
We've got one more game to go in the group stage and we'd like to rest a couple of our key players for that to test the bench strength. :)

4.2  U.Gul to N.Ojha, The batsman lines up for a big slog over cow corner, but gets an inside edge, which scoots past the stumps and the keeper for four runs! The bowler has a wry smile, if the batsman keeps that up, it won't be too long till he's back in the pavillion...  (4) 
4.3  U.Gul to N.Ojha, Down the track and driven through midwicket. There is no fielder in the deep so Long On has to run around to field it, and so in the meanwhile the batsmen get three. Poor bowling but good placement.  (3)

Cochin Crusaders vs. Pune Punks


Pune Punks - 179/10 in 18.3 overs. 
Cochin Crusaders - 165/8 in 20.0 overs. 



Pune Punks wins the match by 14 runs

Luke Wright was named the Man Of The Match.
 
In Group B my match is effectively a quarter final, as it is 2 v 3.
Winner will get into the semis, and the loser won't.

In my previous match my bowling wasn't too bad. I would back us to chase down 170, but we just weren't up to it.

Ryder, Flintoff and Pathan were all very disappointing, and need to start standing up consistently.
 
Yes, good bowling, it looked like they were gonna get to 175 but we restricted them well enough.
