*Official* Champions League Twenty20 2011

[Cabinet96]

Worst captaincy moment in the history of T20? Certainly the champions league.

Ganga says in the post match ceremony that he was playing for the Super over!!!!

I still dont get it why they were playing for the Super over

Say what you like about how it's run, but there's been some exciting finishes so far.

True, Tournament has seen some exciting finishes

Malinga is worth his weight in gold for mumbai. He was their best batsman today as well.

Is that more or less than they're paying him?

Credit due there, it hasn't been the quintessential bowler slaughter that t20 usually is.

There are alot of people criticizing daren Ganga's field setting and even accusing him of match fixing. I think some of this is little unfair. Shirvin wasn't bowling too well and there was a very good possibility of the batsmen getting underneath the ball.

Accusing him of match fixing is far past unfair, if it has been suggested. It's slanderous and moronic.

He had to back his bowler, however. You wouldn't have a completely ring field - a man back at long on, perhaps deep square..maybe three out at the most, and those players 10m at least off the boundary to ensure two couldn't be taken. You'd always have a man on the corner of the circle at mid-wicket.

Don't ignore the fact as well that it was a crap throw. A decent one would've caught him short.

Probably not too far off it actually.

His weight in gold would see him be worth anywhere between 1-5 million US depending on the karat of the gold we're talking about.

Think Malinga was a relatively low price, about £500,000 or something?

His current price isn't well known as Mumbai did it behind closed doors. Has to be worth over a million though surely.

Watching Champions league match intro for the first time today..So hilarious..
Would be further hilarious if the players can make some poses and actions while entering ala WWE..

 

[Jayzamann]

Any damage done before the first wicket falls is a bonus. It was these two and their opening partnerships that were so good for the Redbacks in the last CLT20.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hard to top Balaji and Lee bowling the death for sheer comedy value.

Ferguson

Why isn't Ferguson picked for national duty more often?

 

[MW1304]

Funny that everyone seems to be surprised that Shaun 'spray it everywhere' Tait was left out but not Rashid. He might seem a bit of a shunt but he's a good T20 bowler and their best, most experienced spinner - that's more surprising for me.

Edit: Hang on, why do I care?

Why isn't Ferguson picked for national duty more often?

What I've been thinking over the last year. Why are they wasting time with people like David Hussey when they've got this guy? I remember when he first started playing 2 years ago he was doing really well. Then he got that knee injury and we've barely seen him since.

Was shot down by a huge knee injury and has been getting back into it this year.
