I am a Chennaite and a fan of CSK. The author is over optimistic if he feels CSK can still make it to the SF stage. So many things should happen for this to become reality. Let us be prepared mentally, that CSK will not be in the SF line up. We can't expect 3 other teams to perform/perish for our march into the SF.

Why do you say that you are a Chennaite? Even if you dont say that ,chennai is already out.

@ xman
I said I am a Chennaite because, even as a fan of CSK, I feel it's more or less impossible for CSK to get into SF while the author still have hopes. My poser was to the author and not to prove anything else.

Chennai in trouble in the Champions League or otherwise? If you say in CL, they are not in trouble. They are almost out. If only I had been there at the MAC stadium, they might have won the match... :):) (superstitions don't leave us, you see!!)

Sometimes,whatever you call it,superstition works.I am hopeful channai reaches next stage in the tournament,coz it is a strong team. Players like hussey,bolinger,Badrinath Dhoni morkel are match winners.

Mr. Hari, Be positive, Do not give up hopes till the last moment. Nevertheless, Dhoni's captaincy against T&T was stupid. He (his team) should have started hitting out much earlier without waiting for the last couple of overs. He lost his head when Hussley got out early. Dhoni was unable to advise and guide his team to victory. Don't be surprised if the Indian team selectors replaces him with Harbhajan (as captain) for the Indian T20 team!!

I hope not. It would be better to india that CSK loses and dhoni , raina get some rest before the english odis.

The reliance money pushed the underperforming MI up. It is tough to induce the Ausies with money... tough luck CSK you are done and out - not only for this tournament, but for the years ahead.

It's nice that so many people have responded to my views on the author's optimism about CSK's progress to the SF stage. Most of them are consoling me and pepping me up that CSK can still make it. Now, I don't want to sound too pessimistic though the present weather condition in Chennai (at 10am) can throw surprises in the evening.
Coming to the performance of Dhoni, his captaincy et all, I agree / disagree with the views expressed here (of course I am not imposing on anybody, my views). I strongly disagree with Sakar Panch that CSK is done and out even in the future.
