“Yes, the behaviour of the players is the captain’s responsibility, but I just wanted Fidel to focus and try to zero in on his bowling and not be put off by any other distractions. Then again, I don’t have a perfect record myself.”
Adam Gilchrist on Fidel Edwards getting annoyed at marginal wide calls.

Such is life, who would have thought that the rematch of last’s year’s final will be played between a team trying to stay afloat in the middle of the table, and the other trying to wriggle out of the bottom two. But its will happen today as Chennai takes on Rajasthan.
Dhoni was furious with his bowlers after the last match and rightly so. The main problem has been the lack of good performances from local players. It would be intersting to watch the two captains, Dhoni and Warne, trying to wiggle their teams out of the hole.
Teams (probable)
Rajasthan: (probable) 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Swapnil Asnodkar, 3 Rob Quiney/Tyron Henderson/Lee Carseldine, 4 Yusuf Pathan, 5 Dimitri Mascarenhas, 6 Ravindra Jedeja, 7 Shane Warne (capt), 8 Mahesh Rawat (wk), 9 Abhishek Raut/Paul Valthaty/anybody, 10 Kamran Khan, 11 Munaf Patel.
Chennai: (probable) 1 Parthiv Patel, 2 Matthew Hayden, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 MS Dhoni (capt. & wk), 5 Albie Morkel, 6 Jacob Oram, 7 S Badrinath/M Vijay, 8 Joginder Sharma, 9 L Balaji, 10 Manpreet Gony, 11 Muttiah Muralitharan.

Deccan have been unstoppable this year winning all their matches, while Delhi has lost just one game. These are the top two teams in IPL and the game is going to be exciting and looks to be another last over decider. AB de Villiers vs Gibbs is an exciting prospect.
Delhi would be getting a little worried about the forms of their openers Gambhir and Sehwag. Deccan have no such worries, with Gilchrist and Gibbs firing all guns.
Teams (probable)
Delhi: (probable) 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Virender Sehwag (capt), 3 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 4 AB de Villiers, 5 Mithun Manhas, 6 Dinesh Karthik (wk), 7 Daniel Vettori, 8 Dirk Nannes, 9 Pradeep Sangwan, 10 Amit Mishra, 11 Ashish Nehra.
Deccan: (probable) 1 Adam Gilchrist (capt/wk), 2 Herschelle Gibbs, 3 Dwayne Smith, 4 Rohit Sharma, 5 VVS Laxman, 6 Venugopal Rao, 7 Azharuddin Bilakhia, 8 Pragyan Ojha, 9 Shoaib Ahmed, 10 RP Singh, 11 Fidel Edwards.

Australia lead the series 2-1 and are one win away from wrapping up the series in the United Arab Emirates, but the talking point has been the suspect action of Saeed Ajmal.
Ajmal was fined by the Pakistan Cricket Board for comments directed to Shane Watson and Younis Khan asked why Australia are involved in so many controversies when they face India and Pakistan. Michael Clarke maintained the series had been played in a good spirit. Its difficult to understand what the Aussies consider good spirit.
Teams (probable)
Australia (possible) 1 Brad Haddin (wk), 2 James Hopes, 3 Shane Watson, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 Callum Ferguson, 7 David Hussey, 8 Nathan Hauritz, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Doug Bollinger.
Pakistan (possible) 1 Salman Butt, 2 Ahmed Shehzad, 3 Younis Khan (capt), 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Shahid Afridi, 7 Kamran Akmal (wk), 8 Umar Gul, 9 Shoaib Akhtar, 10 Iftikhar Anjum, 11 Saeed Ajmal.
