Some dismissals were truly out of character: Fleming

Chennai: Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming has blamed the batsmen for his team's nine-run defeat against Mumbai Indians in their Pepsi IPL opener and said the way some of them got out was "not acceptable".

"The pitch was fine. The score was achievable playing in the second innings and at half time we were pretty comfortable. I must say the batting was below standards, considering the (batsmen's) experience," said Fleming at the post-match press conference.
