Champions League

[Timbo]

There were three Proteas in the side we beat (to be fair, Van Wyk and Tshablablabla have only played a handful each) so it wasn't completely pathetic.

The other South African side is a far more tricky proposition though.

 

[eddiesmith]

No one with a South African contract though, its like beating South Australia :lol:

Dont think Sussex will trouble NSW but will make the 2nd round due to Eagles being so poor, so far the only decent teams seem to be Victoria and NSW, Deccan should trouble them though but the IPL sides have been disappointing so far

Not convinced on the other South African mob, although like any team if one bloke has a good day again they can upset teams, even Otago might win a match if McCullum actually turns up

I hope they find a better pitch in Delhi before the next game, that was quite poor

 

[African Monkey]

Otago has a very good team lead by Redmond, Cumming and Nathan McCullum.

 

[shiznit]

f**k... just switched over and caught Otago's first game... i didnt even know this competition existed.

f**king hell Otago have a good side... Both McCullums, Redmond, Cumming, Mascarenas, Buttler... all international players...

with the exception of Cumming... all are decent international T20 players too.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Otago getting smacked around.

Cape Cobras 4/165 off 18overs

 

[African Monkey]

What a foolish 2nd run from B McCullum. However I shouldn't be surprised as it is Brendon McCullum.

 

[hineyrulz]

That run was ridicuous, i can see the 2 Aussies teams making the final.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

Otago and Bangalore will battle it out for a spot in the next stage after both having lost to the Cape Cobras.

Bangalore should do it easy.

If Delhi lose tomorrow to the SL team then they are gone and VIC are guaranteed through.

 

[African Monkey]

Lol McCullum's was bad but Broom's takes the cake. That was downright comical.

 

[eddiesmith]

Otago has a very good team lead by Redmond, Cumming and Nathan McCullum.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, top team :lol:

 

[African Monkey]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, top team :lol:

It's a very good team. It would beat Victoria easily.

 

[shiznit]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah, top team :lol:

:lol: i probably shouldn't laugh coz i thought they would be good too....

 

[IanG]

Would Somerset's win last night over the Deccan Chargers be considered an upset?

 

[African Monkey]

No not at all. Any side led by Justin Langer is always going to be hard to beat.

 

[Collingwood Storm]

IPL sides 0/3 so far.

Delhi are in the late game tonight... lose and it's byebye to them.

 

[eddiesmith]

Would Somerset's win last night over the Deccan Chargers be considered an upset?

A massive upset, especially in a tournament designed for India to prove they are the greatest T20 country in the world and Deccan were the favourites of the lot

 

[Collingwood Storm]

NSW won the toss and are batting first, starts in just under 10mins.

 

[Tom Shines]

The Blues to win by a 1000 here.

 

[eddiesmith]

Vital game for the Blues this one, the winner takes 2 points into the next round, the loser nothing as the Eagles wont trouble Sussex

 

[IanG]

Seems they're using the same tactics that they used on Friday against the Eagles. Keep wickets in hand and have an onslaught late in the innings.

NSW 2 for 89 after 14 overs.
