RR vs CSK, 43rd match at Chennai, IPL, May 04 2011 - Match Result

Shane Warne: We were 15 or 20 short. We were none for 86 off ten. Jakati's catch was a game changing catch and then we lost momentum. Credit to Raina and Hussey, I thought we bowled well, they played extremely well in these conditions. We just didn't execute well. We have to win a couple more of our next few and if we do that we'll be in the finals.

MS Dhoni: So far, so good. We did a pretty good job out here. The first three overs were really good and then they started going for the boundaries. The bowlers did a really good job by not letting them rotate. We came back with a few good overs and a consecutive wickets. Once the ball gets old, it doesn't come on to the bat, it was a really good wicket and was coming on to the bat nicely. The spinner length and pace was good. Hussey and Raina batted really well, they had to chase something close to 7 and a half or eight runs an over. I said initially the spinners wouldn't get a lot of turn, but it was coming on nicely to the bat. It was pretty easy for the batsmen. What is important is to get the number of points. If you are winning most of the games, you won't need net run rate.

Man of the Match Michael Hussey: It was very enjoyable batting with Suresh Rains in particular. He just scores so fast. It's a pretty good pitch, actually, batting here it's best to get in as early as you can. I thought we were going to be chasing 170, Jakati's caught and bowled turned the match for us, we know how dangerous Shane Watson can be.

That's it from us, hop on over to the next game for today, between Pune and Mumbai. Ciao for now.

Steve Rixon: The clincial way we went about it was outstanding. We've go through some hard times. Credit to the boys because they've worked very hard at it. It was a great effort by the two boys today.

He was talking about Hussey and Raina who put on over 100 and made light work of an average total. Stay with us for the presentation.

Chennai have moved into third spot, on 12 points. KKR and Mumbai have the same number of points.

Albie Morkel comes in to finish off

Nice on from Bobby, although we can't credit Nitin with this. "Nitin, are you suggesting that Malinga's 4 in 4 is not a double hat-trick, but a double "toe"-trick."

Gowri has another idea for innovation. "If a batsman can get out, why not a bowler? A bowler can get out when he is hit for X number of sixes and/or Y number of fours?"

And Vinay tells us why Tim's idea would have batsmen's toes permanently broken. "In that case... mumbai indians would make Malinga bowl out the whole 20 overs."

We've got WAY too many new ideas coming in, I suggest you all write in to the ICC.
