Chennai Super Kings' coach Stephen Fleming on Tuesday said that he was astonished to see his team amongst the top four in the Indian Premier League standings. "The team that wins on Wednesday will get the top four, or top-five spot. It's extraordinary for us; usually scrap around in the middle period. We'll be difficult to get a game here and there. But this position can adjust very quickly; we've got to uphold the standard," Fleming said on the eve of their match next to Rajasthan Royals.
"Certainly at home, we don't take no matter which for decided. We've had four wins so far. We've had snippets in each one of those and the last one was a real piece. That just keeps remind us how well we have to play and give respect to your adversary. We won't be taking our foot off the pedal for the rest of the tournament." he added
with the ball rotating in the last few games, Fleming was asked how much of a threat Shane Warne would be. "There hasn't been excessive turn. If you see Deccan's last game, they could've got 160. There wasn't extreme turn. There were stages in the game where it looks like there was some big turn. It tends to flight now, the last couple of games.
"Positively from a fielding point of view, we could've done more."
Assessing his opponent, Fleming said, "They've got an all-round alternative in Shane Watson and then with Warne and Botha, they have a couple of good spinners. It's going to be an interesting match-up; the teams are a bit similar in the bowling subdivision. But we are expecting our top order, which is yet once more in good form, get a score on the board or chase a total down."
"Conditions are still firm to rate; it could be a 180-plus or 170. We expect the circumstances to be comparable to the one we played in, but we're unmoving very wary," he added.
The previous New Zealand captain said he was not astonished by Botha's performance.
"I am not amazed at all by Botha. He's been a good activist for South Africa. He's captain their T20 side. I'm not taken aback by his batting, I've seen quite a lot of it over the years and he's a good participant. He's a handy bowler, so he's a good gaining for Shane."
