Losing captain Adam Gilchrist was not coy to admit that he is responsible for Deccan Chargers' poor show in the Indian Premier League. "Most definitely, I am part of why we haven't fired," Gilchrist said after his side's two-run loss to Rajasthan Royals last night.


"I have got some starts but not gone on to get some big scores so I certainly take some responsibility for that."

The defending champions slumped to their fifth consecutive defeat in the competition. He was wholesome in praise for Warne, his former Australia teammate, who claimed four Deccan wickets to get the man of the match award. "I have had some pretty fun times standing behind the stumps, watching some startled rabbits in the headlights. He bowled really well and led his team extremely well," said Gilchrist.
