Your CA Cup Semi Tips!!!!

[Blewy]

Ok its here, The CA Cup Semis...

Who will be the finalists???

NSW vs HAMPSHIRE

This game proves to be a very big surprise...
Hampshire knocking off Mumbai and QLD on their way to the final, while NSW had a much easier run beating Glamorgan and Northern Districts....
If League form is the guide NSW should take this by the length of the straight, but Hampshire have proven that they have the ability to adopt to the shortest version of the game, and this could be enough to get them over the line...
The key in this game for mine is the NSW attack... They have the ability to destroy any team on their day and their efforts over the season so far have been a bit patchy, But IMO manager Bugssy Malone has done the right thing taking his team behind closed doors and getting them focused solely on this match....
I think the Blues have to many options and they will prevail in what will be a very close encounter....
My Prediction NSW by 4 Wkts
MOM Brett Lee

YORKSHIRE vs TAMIL NADU

This game could be either a big upset, or a major whitewash...
Tamil Nadu have probably the most devastating batting line-up in the competition, and when they fire i doubt there is a team in the competition who could get close to them...
While Yorkshire have one of the better bowling attacks with the likes of Gough, Hamilton, White, and in McKenzie they have a top class batsman...
Yorkshire had a change of manager a few weeks back and since then they have found a new lease in life...
Tamil Nadu have had the easier draw to the semis with wins over Kent and Tasmania, while Yorks have accounted for fellow English teams Warwickshire and Lancashire...
This game will be decided in 1 Innings...Basically How well TN bat and how well Yorks bowl....
I think the Tamil Nadu batsman are in to good of form and will account for Yorks quite easily....
My Prediction Tamil Nadu by 7 Wkts
MOM S.Sharath

So i think it will be a NSW-Tamil Nadu final....
Although i would like to see the underdogs give it a shake, i think these 2 teams will provide the best entertainment...

Thanx Bugs...

Sorry Lord i have a soft spot for NSW as they are the only Aussie team remaining....

 

[Umpire Money]

Hopefully my team will come good.
Yorkshire seems to have a great bowling attack recently and its no secret that ive kept the same side(well all except Haggard who got injured) for the last 6 or 7 weeks and we have won our last 4 straight.
Going on form we are a shoe in but i saw Tamil Nadus batting last week.
How well we bat can sometimes differ because we suck so badly.
Tough game it will either be really close or a cod wolloping.

Hampshire has suprised us all like Yorkshire but NSW are in stirling form and will probably finish the job. This too will either be a real close game or a butt licking.

My tips:
Yorkshire(I have to they are my team)
and NSW(Too strong i think)
8D 8D
