Semis No. 2

Oh I know I said I would sit back and watch a good match, but I don't think that was a very good match at all! Neither team did well batting. Deccan's bowling was good, but fielding was average. CSK's fielding and bowling was really good. Captaincy from both teams was good. But overall the match just didn't entertain :(

The happy news is that CSK is through (the JOYOUS news would have been if Deccan was through lol) and will take on Mighty Mumbai in the finals. Let's hope that game is a good one!

Deccan will play off with Bangalore for the Champions' Trophy place. Gilly isn't particularly happy with the play-off method, and he said so at the post-match ceremony. I wonder why... hmm. Loved Dhoni's speech and how he was so matter of fact. I particularly loved it when he said to Ravi Shastri, "It's easy to say everything worked when you're the winning side. If we were the losing side, everyone would have asked questions about us picking 3 spinners in the side. But since we won, it's easy to say it worked for us." Indeed, and I'm glad he realises that and good to see he still has his feet on the ground.

That's all for now, and looking forward to Sat and Sun! Kep Kep (Gilly style).
