<p><strong>Cricket News In Brief - September 25, 2011 – Part 1</strong></p>
<p><strong>Chennai Super Kings' skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has blamed himself</strong> for his side’s three-wicket defeat at the hands of rivals, Mumbai Indians.</p>
<p>In the Champions League T20 encounter, Dhoni missed a chance to stump Lasith Malinga, who went on to play an unbeaten 37, which helped Mumbai to an unlikely victory.</p>
<p>"There is no one to be blamed but myself for tonight's defeat. I missed a stumping of Malinga and we then gave him a lot of pace to score,” he said.</p>
<p><strong>South African Mark Boucher hopes to make a return to the One Day arena</strong>, having not played for the Proteas in over a year.</p>
<p>The player, 34, featuring for the Warriors in the CLT20, feels that he still has quite alot to offer in the limited overs cricket and remains optimistic about his chances.</p>
<p>With current wicket-keeper, AB de Villiers, given the added responsibility of leading the side, Boucher’s chances of getting a recall have increased.</p>
<p><strong>England will play West Indies in the second and final T20 of the series,
</strong>hoping to end the summer with a perfect finish.</p>
<p>The Poms easily defeated the men from the Caribbean, inflicting a 10-wicket defeat in the first Twenty20 match, under the captaincy of Graeme Swann.</p>
<p>The next assignment for the English contingent will be a trip to the sub-continent, where they will play the Men In Blue in five One-Dayers and One T20 match.</p>
<p><strong>Speaking to NDTV exclusively about his debatable autobiography, “Controversially Yours”, Shoaib Akhtar
</strong>has said that one needs to read his book in order to understand his remarks.</p>
<p>The fast bowler criticized many in his book, but believes that it is about his perspective on the various issues.</p>
<p>The launch of book has been cancelled in India after his remarks over some of Men In Blue players, including Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.</p>
<p><strong>Harbhajan Singh stated that having the Little Master, Sachin Tendulkar in the dressing room helped</strong> his team beat defending Champions, Chennai Super Kings.</p>
<p>"It is nice to have Sachin around even if he is not playing. It is a great sign because he is a great player and great motivator,” he said.</p>
