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
