With the toss, Ganguly was up
he sent his boys out to bat;
Gayle started being his usual self
My Lord has nightmares about that.
But it wasn't to be, as after one six
the silly beggar got himself stumped;
Poor McCullum wasn't far behind
And Chennai's Ashwin was pumped.
Then Ganguly was on strike and Bolly stepped up
he made a successful LBW call;
Ganguly should have been safe - it was missing leg stump
but if the umpire says, he must fall.
Dussey was stunned by Dhoni's quick hands
and Ashwin was still on a high;
he tried his best to get Angie Mathews, too
But Taufel wouldn't let that one fly.
Mathews and Tiwary took a stand
and added 73 of the total one thirty nine;
But with Raina and Vijay on a roll
To be sure, Chennai would be just fine.
CSK lost just one wicket in their chase
and pushed their team up to second;
For the team that looked shite when the IPL started
the semi-finals now beckon.
Chennai Superkings Won by 9 wickets.
For you Paddle

I can tell a lot of effort went into this. I hope Paddle appreciates it and doesn't just 'sweep' it aside. (Terrible, I know)
Oh no Sid! If they make it to the semis you have to blog on CSK some more!
More cricket poetry coming your way, Purna.
Stani, stop making fun - hardly any effort went into it at all.
I wasn't making fun :( I write poetry and I know how difficult it can be, especially when writing about something which is so excruciating to watch. You must know that scorecard by heart eh? See, I do appreciate it.
A kick in the plums for a compliment, God knows what I'll get for an insult. Sad [trudges off]
[trudges in]... Loved it...Of course I appreciate it. The whole world is.
