Fleming high on confidence

Asked at the pre-match press conference how CSK would handle the Indo-South African pace attack, Fleming quipped, “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,” he said.

Asked about CSK’s tendency to click one day and coming a cropper on another, he said, “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”.
