*Official* Champions League T20 2012

[Magrat Garlick]

Preposterously brilliant catch.

Didn't make it look easy, did he?

Just the group winner going through?

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yes only group winners go through.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Slow medium and he bowls two big leg-side wides. Rubbish.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Kabir Ali's moobage action not putting off Guptill then.

 

[Daemon]

So Auckland are through..

 

[MW1304]

Two MD Bates' in the same game on different teams. Both batting 11. Very odd to see a wicketkeeper bat at number 11 these days.

Both called Michael!

Yeah this game is over. Carbs' innings wasn't good but it would have helped if he'd had any decent partnerships.

 

[_Ed_]

Afridi's bowling well. Going some way towards making up for his fairly dismal showing with the bat.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Afridi was available for a short amount of time, and IIRC whenever he wasn't they used Maxwell. Katich there the whole time.

Katman was with Perth Scorchers, who are in the CLT20 as well, so maybe he shacked up with them seeing as it isn't an IPL choice?

Ah, could be then. Although do vaguely recall reading something about Katto giving Oz domestic away? Might just extend to FC stuff tho, I guess.

Men against boys, this, eh? Benefits of acclimatisation, maybe. Comms keep banging on about the Aces' prep. Although for all I know Hants have been there for a similar length of time.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Is Kitchen Maori or Polynesian?

His folks were very cruel if not.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Pie-tastic stuff from Ervine. Azhar taking full advantage.

Yeah, pretty sure he's still playing Big Bash.

 

[BoyBrumby]

50 for Azhar. MOTM rarely this one sided.

Real professional, boot on the throat stuff from Auckland.

I'm probably reeeally slow to this so somebody stop me, but they have the same bloody middle name as well? What the hell is this?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Decent start by Yorkshire. The Root trick works for a change.

 

[Daemon]

T&T trying to imitate the Windie's start against Sri Lanka the other night?

Toss was massive as they captains said or implied.

You couldn't play through the line like Azhar did earlier in the match. I don't think Hampshire timed more than a handful of shots all innings. You could hear it from the sound of bat on ball.

Match seems to be following a very similar pattern as well. T & T definitely favourites now.

 

[Cabinet96]

That Juventus fan in the crowd is a better fielder than Ravi Rampaul.

 

[grecian]

Decent innings by Ballance, it has to be said, turned the match.

Unlike the sound off Ballance's bat. Lovely sound.
