Unassailable Chennai seal title
The adventurous uncanny spirit surely has been his calling card, and he has achieved a lot of success with that approach. But tonight this approach certainly hurt his team. After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jacobs-c65213 wicket fell, Muttiah Muralitharan managed
to suffocate the Warriors with his crafty spin, and Balaji bowled superbly to maintain pressure with a very disciplined spell, containing the Warriors to 128. MS Dhoni after the win in the semi final had expressed his wish to win the final as well, which would
be a perfect tribute to all the players who will be playing for the last time together as a team since their three year contract with IPL ends in April.
The Warriors most certainly suffered with their batting not having enough depth, compared to their rivals and found themselves rather stifled with the spin of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Muttiah-Muralitharan-c78157. Despite having a perfect start with
45 runs in only 6 overs, and with the captain making his way back to the pavilion the Warriors surely started to struggle. Their pace slowed down, and Chennai kept piling pressure on the opposition.
The only chance for the warriors after a dismal display of performance was to take early wickets and give the adversaries a taste of their own medicine. However that was not to happen as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Vijay-c1867 and Michael Hussey completely shut
the opposition out of the contest with confident knocks and rotation of strike. Both the batsmen have the ability to play spin bowling exceptionally well. Vijay made use of his footwork to work the ball around and drive inside out however, Mike Hussey with
his class worked the angles.
There were some brief moments in the end when Vijay and Suresh Raina both fell in quick succession and the fans might have wondered whether this is the beginning of another twist in the contest however that was not to be. Despite
the equation jumping from a more than comfortable 26 in 31 deliveries to 13 from 12, MS Dhoni and Mike Hussey calmly and maturely drove their team home. A score of 128 was never enough to test the wits of the quality batsmen of Chennai and that is exactly
what happened.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 and his team mates were more than ecstatic at the win, and this thus marks the end of a great campaign from perhaps the best team in the tournament playing with the right mix of experience, talent, brute force and maturity
that eventually made all the difference for the side.
