| Now that we are in the final, it obviously feels good and like I had mentioned in one of my earlier blogs, my 3-in-one champion did not let me or, for that matter, the Super Kings fans, down.
As usual, I went to the team room for the meeting. One thing for sure, I did not see any nervousness among the players. They were cheerful and everyone contributed to the discussion. After instructions from the team manager, coach Fleming took over. He... |

| Getting to Nagpur, we were on a high, but the conditions were extraordinarily difficult with the dry heat even at half-past five when we landed. A blast of heat greeted us as we alighted. Deciding to forego practice sessions, we went straight into the match that was scheduled for a 4 pm start with possibly one batsman short.
There has been a lot of chat on Murali’s omission and yes, we might have erred, but I would say that the loss was due... |
