The Deccan Chargers just can't seem to get it right, this is their third consecutive loss. It was a gamble giving Symonds the last over and ironically, the man who biffed 117 actually ended up losing the game for them.
But that's the beauty of Twenty20 isn't it? You never know what's in store. Warne deserves credit for keeping a cool head and those back to back sixes were unforgettable. Now for the first time in the IPL a team has failed to defend a score of over 200.
Siddhartha Vaidyanathan cuts in with this observation: "Symonds bowling, Gilchrist keeping .. but it's the old fox who wins it with the bat."
Yup, the Aussies are everywhere. Time to rename this as the APL (Australian Premier League).
Here's Warne at the presentation: "These guys have a lot of skill. We thought 200 was a very gettable score. We've got great team spirit. It was a fantastic knock by Smith, to come out and play like that after just joining the team."
Andrew Symonds: "I've probably bowled the worst last over in Twenty20 history. Twenty20 is good for the game but not for the ego." Poor Roy, you have to feel for him. He looked quite dejected.
