Thrills and Chills

Oh my goodness. WHAT.A.MATCH.

When Punjab score 192, I thought CSK were goners. And even though in my heart of hearts I wanted CSK to win, there was a part of me that wanted CSK to lose, just so Delhi and Deccan could take it slightly easier later. But I can't deny that as much as I want Deccan in the semis, my heart just SWELLED to watch CSK win. And especially DHONI winning it for them the way he did. I am a huge HUGE fan of MSD and watching him show his real character and buckle down and play like the champion he is... was just brilliant. If CSK had performed like this in previous matches they could have easily chucked RCB out of the semis.

And Raina and Badri were awesome too. Guh. What a match. I'm practically breathless with excitement, even though I just watched it on TV! I love this game. :)

Next match, my heart's in my throat. Goodbye :(
