CSK vs Dolphins, 8th Match, Group A at Bengaluru, Sep 22 2014 - Ball by Ball Commentary

11.20 pm What a surreal game that was. Bang, bang, bang and the hits did not stop. They came from everyone and went everywhere. My top three plays of the game - McCullum's save on the boundary, Bravo's spell and Delport's bat-busting nine-ball innings. Raina and Jadeja played blinders, but they've done that before so many times.

CSK get their first points of the tournament and stay in the running for the semis. It's going to be really hard for Dolphins now. Tough luck to them, they showed a lot of gumption in this chase.

Morne van Wyk says Bravo's spell was the game breaker, says his team was well in it until he came on to bowl and that it was a great exhibition of skill.

Bravo on Mcullum's save: "Unbelievable, what he did saved four runs, words can't explain his efforts. It's good to know as a bowler that you have McCullum, smith and Jadeja in the field."

Vijay: "Wat a wonderful match it was.... Really whole ground & T.V viewers had lots of enjoyment & tension.... McCullum's save was amazing of all...."

Dhoni: "We batted really well, the wicket remained quite the same, credit to Raina and McCullum for a great start, it was important to utilize all our resources so we went really hard. With out bowling struggling slightly it was important to get those 15-20 extra runs, even if we go down trying to get those runs. [about the bowling] if you want to win tournaments you have to come up with better performances, our batsmen won't score 240 every time." Dhoni was pretty scathing on his bowlers there.

Man of the Match is Suresh Raina. It's a batsman's game after all, surprise, surprise. Raina: "When you have Smith and Baz, if there's a good start then you can play positively. It's a goo start for us, looking forward to carrying on from here."

That's all I have got for you today. I hope you have enjoyed this game as much as I did bringing it to you. Thank you for all the email. Good night!

Ashutosh: "By not giving ball to Ishwar Pandey, Dhoni is just trying to prove he can beat Dolphins whilst playing with 10 men."

Bravo is coming back to finish a top spell.

Lecs: "Can someone ask Dhoni in presentation ceremony have he forgot pandey was in team?"

Edwin: "Had there been another fielder within 10metres of McCullum who'd taken the catch that could well have been the best catch .....ever."

Vinay: "If ever there was a superman in cricket it would have been McCullum. Best outfield save I've seen ever."

Vishwesh: "Amazing commitment from B Mac there. The four runs saved probably wouldnt matter for the result but nevertheless he gave in everything for that save. Take a bow!"
