*Official* Champions League T20 2012

[Hurricane]

The cheerleaders are doing Gangnam dancing. It is becoming hackneyed.

 

[BoyBrumby]

"Becoming"?

Meanwhile, pie central from Edmondson. Can't believe North doesn't give himself or Katto a trundle; Beer & George been comfortably the best bowlers on show.

 

[BoyBrumby]

152/1 with 3 overs to come.

180 from here?

Perth look like they have a stronger batting than bowling line up.

 

[NUFAN]

Rimmers showing that clearly is one of the best death bowlers from Australia.

WA top 6 is very good, this should be a very close match.

 

[Noble One]

Western Australia did very well to peg the score back. WA have a strong lineup, however they rely heavily upon Marsh or Gibbs to carry the team.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, great effort at the death from Perth. Rimmington a cut above the rest of the seam attack.

Still reckon North missed a trick not using his other spinning resources tho.

 

[The_roc]

WA top 6 is very good, this should be a very close match.

North and Katich not realy T20 players?

 

[Noble One]

It's incredible that Katich has only ever bowled 12 deliveries across his T20 career.

 

[Garson007]

75 years between them.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Perth collapsing in a heap here. Gibbs goes to leave 'em at 40/3.

Yer **** enjoy a Kolpak or two, don't they? Have Rudolph, van Jaarsveld & Thomas, all of whom have played CC as domestics at some point.

In fact I guess Alphonso is technically an "overseas" player for the **** as he's still on a domestic contract up here.

 

[SeamUp]

Good solid all-round performance from the Titans. Seamers hit their 4-day lengths well which is important at Centurion generally.

Bit disappointed Marchant De Lange is injured. Would have been good to see him bowl in this tournament.

Abraham Benjamin is staying in the squad so could play later in the tournament.

 

[The_roc]

Yosuf batting at 6 is in after 10 balls.

Not a good sign!

 

[Howsie]

Team culture is a big part of a winning side, not just pure runs..that's all ill say.

You mean he wasn't loved by all in Auckland? I'm shocked.....

 

[SteveNZ]

You mean he wasn't loved by all in Auckland? I'm shocked.....

Let's just say the younger guys weren't made to feel all that special. Or talented. Or welcome.

 

[Spikey]

oh hey lumb is alive

 

[BoyBrumby]

What BB franchise is Bollinger attacted too? Is he playing against his own domestic team?

#morereasonstohatetheipl

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah playing against his NSW teammates. I reckon its awesome, its the four overs I'm most looking forward to.

 

[Spikey]

Sydney Thunder last season. Moved to Hobart for this season. But playing against basically all his state team-mates in this game. Lee is a Sixer taken from us. Hilf is Hobart so unaffected. Hussey is Perth. Cummins, Watson and Rohrer all heading elsewhere for the next BBL season. Don't think we've signed Lumb either.

Oh and our coach has been taken

 

[BoyBrumby]

Hilf getting good climb, but slightly too wide for my quid.

Still, three runs off an over you'd take in a heartbeat.

 

[Spikey]

looking like the sixers batting order will almost be totally different from the one we used in our last game: Final: Perth Scorchers v Sydney Sixers at Perth, Jan 28, 2012 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo
