Quotes from presentation
"Disappointing losing today," says David Warner. "Thought the bowlers bowled well in the top six, but didn't get wickets in the middle, which let them get away. It's tough, but you have to play with a clear mind. You still have to win the matches for the folks back in Delhi. Hope the Dharamsala wicket is nice and juicy."
"I try to keep myself blank when preparing," says MS Dhoni, also the Man of the Match. "I try to visualise. The bus ride. I like the stadium at least 15-20 minutes from the hotel so I can visualise during the ride. Each and every side has strengths and weakness. We have balanced that well. In each of six years we have made the playoffs. That is a big achievement both for the team and the owners."
It's all over. An easy win. Never did Delhi look like winning this one. Can't blame them for just going through their motions. And CSK stay on track for a top-two finish, which will give them two semi-finals

Srinivas Goud: "Horrible captaincy from Dhoni. They just have 7 balls to get the wicket and I see no close catching fielders."
nearly a yorker, dug out wide of third man, takes a couple, and hands over the strike to Yadav

full toss, driven to deep cover for one
short, slower ball, on the stumps, Kaul sways out of its line
slower ball, on a length, middle and leg, defended
"'For a change, no dance from Bravo' - Test cricket is a gentlemen's game." Yes, Sharan, I had forgotten
Mohit Sharma to bowl now
full and straight. It took all the defensive fortitude of Kaul to keep this out
Kaul to face the hat-trick ball. They didn't cross while the ball was still in the air
Bravo on a hat-trick. Slower ball, outside off, Nehra slogs, gets a big edge. Dhoni gets under it
yorker, goes past the outside edge of Pathan, who is backing away. For a change, no dance from Bravo
driven to deep cover
JV: "They should now declare and let Chennai play the last 4 overs before stumps....Oh...no second innings?"
clipped away of the pads
"Bravo gave away 8 runs in first over and 7 runs in his second over, so that makes a total of 15 runs conceded in 2 overs." Dhana, now I know how Newton felt when the apple fell on his head
full, on off, driven to long-off for one
Krithikou: "Delhi should target the "Nayi Soch" award by declaring here..."
Sreejit: "I just hope the commentators don't say,"End of 1st Days play." after the match is over."
full outside off, squeezed out to third man
Yadav has not read the team orders. He has actually taken a length ball and smashed it over long-on for six when all he just needs to do is bat out three overs for a draw
Over 20 • DC 135/9
CSK won by 33 runs
