Delhi scored 191 runs and set a target of 192 for Dravid's team. Dravid's team failed again.
Magnificent batting by Dhawan and Gambhir saw them score 191. Gambhir is the fifth biggest scorer and his 86 was a revealation ! Dravid's men could not get the 192 !
Royal Challengers are going down. Chennai is on top at the moment. But with Hussey and Hayden gone, let us see how Chennai fares again.

Maiden win for Mumbai !
Shaun Pollock removed Ganguly and McCullum and Kolkotta were 6/2. Early wickets from which they never truly recoverd.
Laxmi Shukla scored 40 with 2 sixes and 4 fours. But the revealation was Debabrata Das who hit 5 fours and a six in his blistering 29, when Ganguly, McCullum and Ponting failed.
All that the Knight Riders could muster was 131. Mumbai were 25/3 and there were fears of a Mumbai loss, like the last four matches. But then Uthapp (37 n o ) and Bravo ( 64 no ) were involved in a 113 run partnership, which saw the Mumbai Indians home.
Here are the points of the 8 teams
M V L T P ( M-Match, V-Victory, L- Loss, T = Tie, P=Points)
Chennai 4 4 0 0 8
Rajasthan 4 3 1 0 6

Royal Challengers fail again !
We do not know what is wrong with the Royal Challengers, they have failed again.
Dravid was again out for a blob and Virat Kohli did not shine. The target was gettable, particulary after Waseem Jaffer and Ross Taylor scored half-centuries.
Dhoni won the toss and batted on a hostile pitch. Dale Steyn was hostile, bowling at 145 kph. Hayden was out to Zaheer and then Patel got out. Dhoni's blitzkreing was 65 out of 30 balls. Hussey scored 47 and the Chennai Super Kings finished at 178/5.
The Royal Challengers were on top at 102/1, when Jaffer, who had hit 2 sixes, got out. Then they lost quick wickets in succession. It looked like a procession of batsmen. RC failed again and were all out for 165 !

Punjab and Hyderabad win comfortably !
Sehwag out means half the battle lost. He was taken by Pathan and Lee took Dhawan, VRV Singh took 3-29 and the Dare Devils could only muster 158/8. Manoj Tiwari scored 39 . The Kings XI game plan worked well.
Simon Katich continued his great form with the bat. He scored 75 and got Man of the Match Award. Yuvraj was at his striking best ( 40 not out ) and he got a hug from Preity Zinta.
In the other match Laxman won the toss and fielded. The Mumbai Indians were 27/3. Shaun Pollock scored 31 and Abhishek Nair scored 34, blasting 3 sixes in the process.
The Deccan Chargers wanted 155 runs and they got it in style. Gilly blasted 10 sixes and nine fours in his 109 no and Laxman gave solid support in the massive score of 155 for none. This is the greatest partnership ever in the IPL. The massive crowd of 50 K had got their money's worth, as they saw one of the greatest innings in T20 from Gilchrist.

Chennai & Rajasthan prevail !
That it is a mind game is proved by Shane Warne. He won the toss, put Dravdis' men to bat and bowled them out for 138. Their game plan was class. Dravid, Chanderpaul and Kallis were held in the deep. Except for some lusty hitting by Ross Taylor (44) and Praveen Kumar (34), none of the other batsmen could excel. Munaf got 2 wickets, Trivedi 1, Warne 1 and Watson 2.
Shane Watson was as solid as ever, playing the sheet anchor role and scoring 61 not out. Graeme Smith became successful for the second time and scored 49. Yousuf Pathan scored only 21, but the innings was embellished with 5 fours.
In the other match, Dhoni's men proved to be formidable. Jacob Oram took both the wickets of McCullum and Ponting to reduce the Knight Riders to 32/2, from which they never recovered. He also took the wicket of Karthik ang got the Man of the Match award.
Laxmi Ratan Shukla played well for his 42 and the innings folded up at 147/9.
A glorious stand of 66 by Parthiv Patel and Hayden saw the Super Kings on to a solid start. When Patel perished for 21, in walked Dhoni and both Dhoni and Hayden saw the Super Kings home with some excellent batting !

Sangakara pulls, cuts and lofts Punjab to victory !
Magnificent batting by Sangakara and great bowling by Kings XI saw Punjab home in the match against the Mumbai Indians.
The 182 scored by Punjab was a competitive score, and the Punjab bowlers bowled superbly. Brett Lee bowled well and took one wicket, Chawla 2, Sreesanth 2, VRV 1 and Pathan 1.
This is the third consecutive defeat of the Mumbai Indians and they have to win the rest 4 matches to be in the reckoning.
Here we give a list of the 8 sites of the teams. May them become the Manchester Uniteds and the Chelseas of Cricket
Deccan Chargers
Royal Challengers
Rajasthan Royals
Punjab Kings XI
Mumbai Indians
Chennai Super Kings
Kolkotta KnightRiders
Delhi Dare Devils

Rajastan Royals win in thriller !
Now all teams are scoring more than 200 and 200 has become the standard of the game.
Yesterday saw a lot of records rewritten. The fastest hundred off 47 balls by Symonds, the fastest 50 off 21 balls by Yousuf Pathan ( who incidentally got the Man of the Match ) and the fastest 100 in 51 balls or 8.3 overs, by Rajastan Royals !
Deccan Chargers palyed well for their 214/5, with Symonds scoring 117. Magnificent support from Rohit Sharma, who scored 36. You will think that 214 is a formidable score, but the Rajastan Royals eclipsed it with 217/7 !
Yousuf Pathan belted six sixes, scoring 61 off 28 balls ! Graeme Smith scored 71 and then in walked Shane Warne. Off the last over, RR needed 17 runs to win. Shane belted a four and 2 sixes and Royals won the game royally !
This will go down in history as one of the best thrillers ever seen !
Chennai once again prove to be formidable !
Edging out Mumbai in a thriller, Chennai proved that they are one of the best teams in the tournament, even though it is too early to say so.
Hayden blasted 81 off 46 balls, Suresh Raina 53 off 37 balls and Dhoni 30 off 16 balls, as Chennai scored 209 runs in 120 balls !
Century partnership between Raina and Hayden was well received by the Chennai audience, numbering more than 30000. Crowds went into ecstacy, as the Super Kings crossed 200 for the second consecutive time. A score above 200 is considered mighty in T20 !
Chasing a mammoth 209, Mumbai fought well. Uthappa, Bravo, A Nayar and Bajji contributed, but fell short by 6 runs ! Joginder Sharma and Muralitharan, bagged 2 wickets each.
IPL is a huge hit in Australia. Channel Ten reports that 800,000 people saw Hussey score 116 not out ! It is a mega hit in India, with 300 million people glued to their TV sets at night. All are making money, the BCCI, the 8 investing teams, the players etc.
Now the teams on form are Chennai, Kolkota and Delhi. It is too early to say who is going to come out tops. The other teams have not found their rhythm yet. Deccan Chargers, Royals and Indians are all powerful teams, but have not found their touch.
Chennai is a formidable team with Hussey, Hayden, Raina, Badrianath, Dhoni, Patel & Oram. They have not scored less than 200 in any match ! Deccan Chargers, with a formidable batting line up, with Boom-Boom ( Afridi ), Gilly, Symonds, Gibbs etc get a chance to show their formidability today.

Rohit & Sehwag dazzle !
A magnificent 94 not out off 41 balls by Sehwag saw the Daredevils home by 9 wickets.
Earlier great bowling by McGrath, Asif and Mahroof had reduced the formidable Deccan Chargers to 60/5. The Hour findeth the man and the man for the Chargers was Rohit Sharma !
4 sixes flowed from his bat and out of 36 balls he had scored 66. What an innings.
This innings was later ecliped by the 94 not out by Sehwag.
This IPL is a mega hit. BCCI should be congratulated for arranging this event. All franchises will do well. This is a great boon for the players. Now players like Dinda, Salunke, Saha, Jadeja are in the limelight. This is Cricket's most glorious moment.

Shane Watson, Man of the Match and R Royals win !
Yuvraj' s Punjab got a shock, when they were trounced by Rajasthan Royals.
RR was totally a different team today. There are many who say this is a batters game ( Mark Boucher ). Ian Bishop differed from that view, stating that the bowler has equal chance in a T20 format. As the batsmen go on taking risks and choose the aerial route, the bowler can take wickets at any time ! Depends on the skill of the bowler.
The latter view was proved right by the Royals. Shane Warne came in to bowl and he took 3 wickets. Salunke the other spinner foxed M Jayawardene, as he lunged forward to hit him off the ground. He was stumped. Warne had Hopes lbw for 16, caught and bowled Sangakara and had Yuvraj lbw. Bowlers win matches, whether it be in a Test, ODI or T20 format !
Yuvraj played well for his 57, embellished as it was with 4 sixes.
Sreesanth drew first blood by removing Kaif !Even though Sreesanth, Lee and Hopes bowled well, the target of 165 was not enough. We have seen matches with scores of more than 200.
In other words, both Shanes, Shane Watson and Shane Warne starred in the Royals win. It was a professional approach, the Aussie approach.

Knight Riders & Royal Champions win !
In a low scoring match, Deccan Chargers fought and lost narrowly. The Knight Riders were 21/3, when they were let off the hook by DC. The captain did not give Vas the 4th over. After 21/3, there was a retrieving stand. David Hussey, the brother of Mike Hussey, won the game for the Knight Riders !
In the other match, Dravid's men won against the Mumbai Indians, who were handicapped by the absence of Tendulkar. Sweet innings by Virat Kohli (23),Dravid (32), Jack Kallis (25), Ross Taylor ( 23), 39 off 19 balls by Mark Boucher saw the Royal Challengers home.
For Mumbai, Uthappa scored 44, Jayasuria 28, Pollock 28, A Nayar 20, out of a total of 165.

IPL, Word's greatest League, kicks off !
In the IPL League, Indian players have failed so far. This is due to the pressure of playing before home crowd where reputation is at stake. Maybe they will come back into their elements.
On the other hand, we fnd that foreign players are doing well. Hopes, Mccullum, Hussy are are finding IPL a paradise.
IPL has clicked and T20 is here to stay.
One cannot say which team is the best. Robin Jackman says his favourite is the Deccan Chargers, who has got Afridi, Symonds, Gilchrist and Gibbs in their team. It is skippered by the well experienced VVS Laxman,
Hussy’s magnificent 116 no proves how the Grinders can take away the match single handedly. He became another McCullum, who scored a record 158 not out off 73 balls.
Foreign players are performing better in IPL than Indian players.
The highest rated team amongst the bookies is the Knight Riders. Second comes the Chennai Super Kings and third the Deccan Chargers.
Royals are facing an acute player shortage. Most of the Pak players will reach only on Tuesday and will not be there for the Monday, when they take on the Punjab Kings.

India takes sweet revenge !
India spins out RSA for 121 and wins the Final Test.
Now in ICC Rankings, India is still No 2, in Tests.
A great innings of 87 by Ganguly and some five fours by Sreesanth ( 29) saw India reach 325 in the second innings.
Then the Indian spinners took over. Bajji with his 4/44 and Sehwag with his 3/12 spun out RSA for 121 !
Sreesanth drew first blood when scalped McKenzie. That was his 50th wicket in 13 Tests !
Now all eyes are on IPL,where 8 great teams, full of international players, struggle for supremacy. IPL is supported by Bollywood and Industry and this League will be a force to reckon with in the days to come. ICL is also offering stiff challenge, as it is full of professionals !

The very champagne of Cricket !
We had incredible cricket matches !
2 balls, 10 runs needed and Chanderpaul hits a four and a six and gives WI a one wicket fantastic victory !
Ishant Sharma, Bajji and Chowla bowl out SA for 265. India comes back after the post-lunch session.
In the ICL matches, ICL India defeats ICL Pak, thanks to a 63 off 47 balls by Khaleel and a 29 not out by the skipper R Satish.
For SL, Kapugudera hit 95 and SL was all out for 235. Chasing 235, WI were nine down and 13 runs were needed in the last over. Out of 4 balls, only 3 runs were got. So the equation was 10 runs off 2 balls and Chanderpaul hit a four and a six and brought home the bacon !
At Kanpur, Dhoni's captaincy paid off. He brought some intelligent changes and his bowlers Ishant, Bajji and Chawla bowled superbly, restricting RSA to 265 !

The main cause of India's defeat is IPL, says Gavaskar
Gavaskar has come out with the statement that it was IPL which was the main cause of India's defeat.
Under the influence of largesse, Indian players have forgotten India !
Previously, even with a slight injury players were ready to prove their fitness and play for the country.
Now the situation has reversed, with the players ready to sit outside, lest they aggravate their injury.
Previously, fielders gave 100%, to save boundaries and sixes. Now the situation has changed, with the fielders not exerting fully, lest they be injured. Injury means they will not be able to play for IPL and earn fabulous sums ! As many as 81 fours were conceded to the South Africans in the First Test.
Instead of playing for the country and gaining glory thereby, most of the players are now spending more time for the multi-crore IPL. This, says India's veteran, is responsible for the Indian defeat.
The defeat suffered by India is humiliating. There are players who have not fielded for two days ! This behaviour has amazed many, says Gavaskar.
Indian players have not played Test after end Jan. Most of them were more interested in jumping at the function hosted by the bosses of IPL.
Gavaskar appealed to Gary Kirsten to bring all players under one umbrealla.
It is evident that the players coming from abroad will be enthusiastic when going home. But in a series in India, after coming from home, why try to fly home after one week ? This overenthusiasm fuels suspicion. Whip is needed for this problem, says the ex-batsman.
Instead of training for dance, players should correct themselves. They are up against a formidable pace trio, perhaps, the most potent fast bowling attack in the world. At least on current form. Steyn is ranked No 1. If Indian players cannot do the modifications, all the good name gained during the Tour Down Under will go down the drain.
This is a very critical time for Indian criket. If India cannot win the 3rd Test, she will be replaced from the No 2 spot !
