CSK Update

Today is CSK vs the Kings XI . The Kings XI is leading an awesome fightback as I write.
I am among the legion of "fans" of the CSK team.
Today their walloping of the Punjab bowlers was a sight to behold. The more I see Suresh Raina, the more I think this kid has one awesome future and holds the key to Indian cricket in the next decade. "Stylish left-hander" is an oxymoron but just watching him pull the ball is an absolute treat [next only to watching Yuvi belt a long hop]. Matthew Hayden to me, remains the most under-rated player of the past decade. This man strikes the fear of God into bowlers, and this IPL is all about him - he has almost never failed, and it was sad seeing him get caught for 89. Sreesanth is a coward and a moron, and someone should just ban him from ever playing any competitive cricket - his send-off of Haydos who thrashed him for 20+ in that over was childish and boorish. Can we have some Match Referee intervention here?
Dhoni who has had a terrible IPL2 until the match before last, suddenly finds the best time to hit form. To me Mahi is one of those players who don't really have the god given talent of other "higher" players like Yuvraj or Sachin, but he is a one in a generation act. History is going to be kind to him in a decade from now, where he trades in the lack of pure talent for a cricketing brain that none of his gifted peers can ever come close to possessing. Which is what makes him a clear headed leader. Somehow the best leaders have been the ones lower on cricketing talent than their team mates but have the ability to gauge the game a lot better - Allan Border is one such example - not only did he inspire the great Aussie resurgance of the 90's he did so by going about his job very quitely. How is it that no one remembers him as the highest run getter in test matches, and everyone fawns over Sunil Gavaskar? Why is it that Tendulkar failed to inspire despite his fans screaming and drowning out any nay-sayers?
It just takes a little more than mere talent to lead men. Talent itself cannot inspire. True leaders are made of something else.
