When did you come to know that Daniel Vettori will not be able to play the all important final?
After we came to the ground, Daniel said that he won't be able to play.
Which means you did not get ample time for preparation to lead in the final?
It was a bolt from the blue that our captain will not be able to take the field. It was really a huge blow for the whole team.
Did you miss him as a bowler?
More than anything else, we missed him for captaincy. He has a great knack for inspiration.
How will you explain the opening spell of Bond and Mills?
Excellent. We wanted to create pressure on them. We wanted to reach to their middle order quickly. If we could have five wickets for 100 runs the game could have gone to for different directions. But our total of 200 runs was not enough. We should have scored at least 250.
How will you analyse the Australia's performance?
Incredible, they have got a good mixture of youth and experience. One of the Australia's plus point is their pretty good batting depth and they also know how to play under pressure.
But your team also fought?
Yes we did. Especially, when we had only 200 runs on the board. The way the whole team fought, I am proud for our team.
Could you tell us something about Shane Watson?
He took the game away from us. He has improved like anything. I dropped a crucial catch. If I would have held that catch at that time, certainly it would have been a different story. I am responsible for that miss. I started running back but was short by a couple of meters.

I don't give a frick about Jesse Ryder scoring 52, but this was such a fantastic game to watch.
Baz is truly amazing. What else is there to say about this batsman who has scored the most runs in the T20 format of the game? He still has some bad luck surrounding him. Being caught out at 49....very unfortunate indeed. What happened to Mr Smily Face, Lasith Malinga and Dilshan?

So finally the Kolkata Knight Riders won a second game. I have really been feeling so sad for them. They have played 10 games and only won 2. But darn it! Did they have to beat the Super Kings? Shit!!!!!!I am not impressed. WTF!? Albie? He has not been in the best of form. Well done to Brendon McCullum. A win well deserved. He played brilliantly getting 81. I love watching a game where the captain is actually taking the lead and showing his worth.
I can smell a win.
