It was a very poorly arranged fixed match. Nokia is the title sponsor & arrangements were made to ensure KKR goes through. I back them to reach the finals as well.

After a great start, few run outs & uncanny wickets of full tosses (JK also caught by a stunner) restricted KKR 20 runs or so short of the plot & every body had to go through the drama. SO shocking to see Guptil & Vincent, two of the best runners in the game getting R/O at wrong time & still it took a great effort from Munro (20 of 29 balls) to ensure it. A Adam probably wasn't safe enough to be approached & he was sent after Munro & Mills.

I don't think I 'll watch any more of this soap opera.
