Postives:
- Balaji's bowling
- Hayden, Patel and Raina's batting.
- Both loses have been to other strong teams, and have not lost badly yet.
Negatives:
- Shabby performance by CSK overall especially after getting Delhi Duo out early and then the Hayden innings and the close finish.
- Flintoff -- batting and bowling figures are reversed
- Dhoni -- old Dhoni is missing
- Badri/Jogi -- 1 over each to bat/bowl... Badri is wasted at the end. Not sure why Joginder is there -- surely given Balaji was bowling a decent over, he and Murali deserved another over?
- Poor death bowling
PS: Are the pitches being "Indianized"? What happened to support for bowlers and 150 being a good score?

they can indianise the pitches...but not conditions... :)
so 150ish score holds true (specially in night matches) provided you have the bowling for the conditions...did you saw jessy's dismissal...?
sp: In the last 2 matches CSK has played 180+ was possible. That is why I am wondering if there has been some effort to make pitches for batsmen friendly or T-20 friendly.
both ducks? yeah good balls.
Good point about the old dhoni... looks like he traded his hair for the new style of playing.
scorpi: long time no post? Lalu called it last year -- I agree now, that he has changed his style of batting completely.
