Stephen Fleming unlike his rival team’s coach (Deccan Chargers) is active with media always giving interview about his views on the coming matches. This Page will be dedicated to his statements before and after matches.
1st May before CSK vs DC
.About Dangerous deccan bowlers Ishant and Dale: "The good thing is I don't have to face them. I can coach the other guys to play them.
"But our top order is one of the biggest around and with Badrinath being in form. We've some wonderful Indian players along with Michael Hussey, so we're well-equipped to deal with any attack. Morkel, Dhoni and Raina are some of the biggest hitters around. And the talent we've got in our top six can outshine any other top six and they've performed for us,"
About the lift of Chennai’s fielding:
"The pleasing shift for me was the game against Mumbai. We got shown the standards of fielding in this competition and it was almost a challenge. The next two games we were outstanding. Once you set yourself a benchmark for yourself, it's very good," said Stephen.
Asked about CSK's tendency to win games or loose games in streaks,
"Obviously I am not comfortable with it, we've worked hard on that but it's really attitude. You can catch as many balls as you want but it's really about the attitude you take into the game".
About Deccan Chargers , "Darren Lehman is an excellent coach and he's developed very good team spirit and they are a very well balanced side. The seam attack has Steyn at one end the big guy, Ishant coming in at the other. They are a handy side.”
"But we don't really look at the opposition too much. Every side you play is good on paper and it's about pressure and how you deal with pressure. We don't analyse the teams too much, we shy away because some of the things look too good on paper," says Fleming
About Home and Away win ratio: “I am not worried much as we lost away games enough closely, mainly because we did not field well, which we have worked a lot on”
About the pitch:
"The pitch looks similar and we seem to know these conditions and I don't think it will deviate too much from it," he said.
About Morkel
He is recovering and will play.
