fuller on the middle stump and it's drilled through to the backward point area for a couple of runs
CSK vs SRH, 54th match at Hyderabad, IPL, May 08 2013 - Ball by Ball Commentary
That's that then from me, a surprisingly one-sided game tonight. Hopefully we will have something better tomorrow. Have a great day/night ahead, ciao!
Presentation
Dhoni gets the 'Nayee Soch' award for some innovative field settings. He had a couple of mid-ons in place.
Kumar Sangakkara: Dale Steyn bowled the right length, the others bowled a bit short and did not get the yorkers out. We know it's a bad performance, cannot think about this one, just move ahead.
MS Dhoni: Just like the last game where nothing worked for us. Raina unlucky not to get a 100, but lucky to get to 99. As I said before, we didn't really play the last game. Last game was a good wakeup call. Hussey has been brilliant, among the few cricketers who hasn't changed too much, does not play too many slogs. The only other batsman to do that is Rahul Dravid for the Royals.
Dhoni also hints there may be some changes in the team for the next game. Especially in the bowling.
Raina, man of the match: God has been kind, we won the game. Thanks to the fitness trainer, he's been doing a lot of work with us. Hussey's been very honest, working very hard with all Indian cricketers, good environment in the dressing room. Hope to keep up the good cricket.
--------------------
77-run win for the Super Kings. Hyderabad will know it all went wrong with the ball. After a good tournament with the ball, they have dished out a very ordinary bowling performance tonight. They now go up to 10 wins from 13 games. Hyderabad remain at fifth with 14 points but their NRR has taken a beating.

islandhopper: "Holder can be easily dropped for Faf given Chennai have 6 other bowlers (including Raina and Jadeja), given Holder has not done much and given Vijay's form. Oops....forgot to add given Faf can be the 7th bowler! Talk about an imposing batting line-up."
Abhigna Mandavilli: "What is Sangakkara's role in the team again?"
Sai Ashish: "For what ashish reddy is there in the team ?? he didn't get a chance to bowl a single over.. and even they sent ishant ahead of him to bat.. Is he injured ?.."
bouncer and that's gone way, way above the batsman, it was a quick one too but given a wide now
shorter this time and quicker too, looking to pull it away but gets only a top-edge which goes to Holder, who takes a good catch
and he's spanked him over the long-on region for a six, was a slower one and right in the arc, sends it out of the park...couldn't resist that one!
keeping it up to the bat, wants to flick it away, through to the leg side for a single
fuller on the middle stump, and it's drilled straight to the fielder at mid-on, Holder has a shy at the stumps and the batsman is miles out, misses
fuller from round the stumps, drilled to third-man for a single
90 needed off six. Six balls.
finally manages to get it away, was shorter in length and he opens the face of the bat and gets it over the point region for a four
swings and misses, it was a slower one and he does not read that change-down of pace
short of length and he wants to cut it away, opens the stance up too but does not get too much of timing
on the leg-stump line and he opens the face of the bat through to point for a single
fuller from round the stumps, driven down to long-on for a single
outside the off stump and chops the ball, on the bounce to the point fielder
fuller, he goes out on the front foot, taps it to the off side and they are away for a quick single
wow, what a shot, it was a very quick delivery, opens the face of the bat and gets it away very, very fine, probably bit of an edge too
enough of those attempted cut shots now, it was a slower one and he swivels around and hits it over mid-wicket for a six
wide outside the off and he should have put that away, hits it straight to the point fielder
quicker and flatter, but outside the off stump, punched down the ground for a single
fuller outside the off stump, was looking to cut it, beaten
it is on a length and he was looking to drive it through the covers, gets the bottom of the bat and it rushes to the left of the third-man fielder, a dive from Holder stops it
Over 20 • SRH 146/8
