Thanks gregers, I thought it'd be closer too given that the pitch had something in it for the both of us. Then again 5-3 is pretty close if it ends up as that.

that would be me

it doesn't seem to be rocket science to me, you compare his international T20 record to his ODI one and it's poor quite frankly. The reason is Dhoni always takes time to get going (or most often) and in 50 overs he has the time left to really accelerate. In T20s if he's only batting five or seven overs he's not going to have that time.

Anyway, as regards the result, it's simple: if Kochi get the last vote, Mumbai are the last semi-final team, if Kings XI get it they go through instead. CSK, Delhi and Pune are all through already. I think if we don't find a vote soon I'm more than happy to step aside and let Gregers have the semi spot, given he's put so much effort into running this league.

That's a nice gesture, mate. We'll see if we can sort it first and foremost however.

DD,RR,MI,KXIP

looks like a heavy defeat for the mixed deccan side.

who made the semi finals?

Chennai Super Kings (1) will play Kings XI Punjab (4), whilst Delhi Daredevils (2) will play Pune Warriors (3). I think!

well done GG, good win for ya

i was convinced mumbai would get through....

Mumbai, on paper, deserved a place I think, but obviously not as the league table doesn't lie. A shame, though.

:-( at Mumbai falling at the final hurdle but at least I can't be biased in the semis or final!

Semi 1 and 2 will be up tomorrow

Kings XI sneak in at the death!

hope nobody minds if I let out a quiet celebratory

Go for it mfc! Congrats.

Happy to have navigated a swine of a pitch!
