Presentation

M Vijay is the Man of the Match He says: "Very happy. Not really tired. Just enjoying it. I just though of hitting straight, the ball came onto the bat nicely, and I enjoyed it."

MS Dhoni "We batted brilliantly. Vijay and Morkel were special. Not much power, no stupid shots, but clean hitting. If you have 240-245 on the board, it's very difficult for the chasing team. Rajasthan batted really well, though, but Dougie bowled really well and his catch was special."

Shane Warne "Fantastic game. Our boys chased amazingly, but we can't keep on fielding and bowling like this. Credit to Lumb, Watson and Ojha for the way they batted."

Phew! Finally time to draw some breath. Thirty sixes in the match, to go with 39 fours. Vijay's century, Morkel's monster hits, Ojha's near-ton, Watson's near-magic, but among all that, Dougie Bollinger is the highlight of the match for me. Four overs for just 15 runs, and that amazing catch at the long-on boundary. Wouldn't be wrong to say that he was the difference in the match. Do hang on for presentation ceremony

skies this one, just wide of the bowler, Hayden is under it, and he drops it, but the single takes Ojha away from strike

Chennai can't lose this one now

lovely shot, slower ball, waits for it, gets under it, cuts over cover-point, four more - on 92 now

19.1
4
Tyagi to Ojha, FOUR runs

swings, gets a thick edge over the keeper

So now, fair enough to say the only interest left in the match is, whether Ojha can get a century

18.6
Bollinger to Raut, no run

superb spell comes to an end, finishes off with a yorker just inside that white line that judges wides, and he gets a huge applause from the Chennai crowd, what an impression he has made right away - somewhat like Malinga on the Mumbai crowds

18.5

Raut is the new man

18.3
W
Bollinger to AA Jhunjhunwala, OUT

slower offcutter gets another wicket! 116ks, Jhunjhunwala makes good connection with it, muscling it down the ground, but Raina judges it well and catches it at mid-off. Good captaincy too, to have mid-off up for Bollinger

W
Murali to Fazal, OUT

after keeping Fazal on strike with his fielding in the last over, Murali gets hisd wicket too, nicely flighting an offbreak. Fazal gets the toe end of the bat while looking for the big shot, and lobs it to cover-point

Faiz Fazal c Anirudha b Muralidaran 4 (5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 80

Lakshman: "Can't imagine an injury to Jacob Oram only prompted the CSK or any other management to get Dougie. Picking him up at the auction was a no brainer." Murali comes back
