Post-match presentation

Vijay: "There was good bounce in the wicket, and dew around. I just wanted to time the ball rather than hit it. I'm trying to learn as much as I can from Hussey. We are playing good cricket at the moment. "

James Hopes: "We lost our way in the middle of the innings, the batsman haven't done the job again. We had made 50-odd in six overs that usually sets you up for 160. It's a steeping learning curve to be here, and a bit of an eye-opener. We can play with a great deal of freedom in the final game."

Here's a look at the latest points table.

MS Dhoni: "I think it was a very good performance, for the spinners there was a fair amount of dew, it gripped a bit for them ,but they bowled superb lengths. We thought we would be chasing 120-odd runs, but the chase was very well done with the help of Raina, Hussey and Vijay. I think Jadeja will keep improving, the more games he plays, Ashwin is one of the smarter spinners we have, Raina knows what needs to be done. Death bowling is still an area we need to improve, but it is tough for every team. People of Ranchi always want a six."

Man of the Match is Michael Hussey: "I certainly don't feel it (younger). I'm a bit embarrassed to be here actually, I thought Ashwin was a good shout for Man of the Match. The spinners did a great job. Excellent conditions here, I've really enjoyed the stadium and the crowds as well. To get through to the semi-finals was the first goal, and it is great to be there."

That's a wrap from our coverage of this game. Last line goes to Gaurav: "Bend it like Beckham and finish it like Dhoni.." Seeya tomorrow!

Kamal: "And CSK got Hussey for Base price. Probably the best ROI ever for any player in IPL. Apart from winning matches, you could see how he helps other Indian players to evolve. Vijay , for example, has become a better Test player now."

Cutting v Dhoni, the match-up we've been waiting for (sort of).

Kuldeep: "Barring today, Vijay has really been underperforming for CSK this year. Clearly, if Hussey is Mr.Cricket for CSK, then Vijay has been Mr.Wicket for the opposition!!"

David: "Dont forget that the better 20/20 Aussie teams are not even here. Brisbane and Perth were only through as other teams had a lot of players missing last season. So Brisbane cant complain now the roles are reversed"

Ravi: "To make CLT more competitive, for every player a local team loses to an IPL team, they should be allowed to borrow someone of their choice from the other domestic teams that did not qualify for the CLT"

MS Dhoni walks out to a deafening roar from the crowd. Chants of 'Dhoni, Dhoniu,' ring round the crowd

Gaurav: "Another sensible performance from Mr.Cricket. This guy is a gem really. CSK is really lucky to have Hussey."

per: "To put some perspective in this comment regarding the Heat. Imagine CSK without The Huss, Jadeja, Dhoni, Morkel, Raina & Ashwin! Would be another ball game yeah? But I know it's all excuses really!!"
