Anyone watching this? Leics 20-5 chasing 169. No batsman seems to be able to hit it off the sqaure!
-
They're doing a Somerset!
-
They're
-
Yes, I know, just seeing who was reading the forum for enjoyment or as a job. *Spelling Police*!
-
Is jos butler not playing for somerset?
-
I personally think that JB should play for Hants! ;)
-
He is in the England T20 squad for the matches against West Indies.
Although, CK and JB may fly out if Somerset make it far enough
-
Henderson is woeful at batting.
-
Right then, come on Somerset!
Also, Jimmy Adams is now using GM gear
-
Good to see a couple of Dorset players in the Somerset team
-
Who's that then?
-
Waller and Jones
-
which channel is it on?
-
Right then, come on Somerset!
Also, Jimmy Adams is now using GM gear
DOH! thats bad news for Funky if he's moved on to them!
-

Jimmy Adams plays for Hampshire, so how would watching the CLT20 reveal this info to you?
-
He plays for Auckland too
-
Ah ha!
-

You will probably find that he is contracted to use GM when playing for Auckland Aces, this is the same as Colin De Grandhomme who purchased kit from us whilst he was in th UK but he is back with the Aces he has to use his GM kit.
-
messed that right up by the sounds of it....
-
Pretty much a run a ball required off the last 5 overs. Poor tail end. Shame.
-
yeah 17 off 16 balls shouldnt be too demanding.....needed to use their feet and take it to the bowlers as didnt hit any boundaries in the last 4 overs!
-
Peter Trego batting well. Must be near to the england one day side ?
-
He should be in there instead of the likes of Wright/Bopara imo.
-
commentators discussing the compton run out/obstructing the field? saying he should be out? maybe im biased but he looks to see where the ball is. doesnt no how far to go before he is in his ground turns and grounds his bat in as if hes close. unfortunately he was a good few yards down the track and the ball hits the outstretched bat. innocent
anybody see it? what do they think? genuine attempt to make his ground or cleverly done.

The throw was going well wide of the stumps, the bowler would not of got the throw either. He did stick his bat out tho.
-
Somerset have the potential to get a large wad of cash now!
-
One more final to lose if they get that far lol :(
-
Go Gregory! Am I the only person here who doesn't like the idea of these IPL franchises.
IMO, I'd be perfectly happy if any other side wins.
-
I think a Protean team will win this, so far they have put the most consistent show.
-
Im backing somerset
-
Same here. Was great to see somerset beat the KKR twice with all their big superstars, Somerset only going to get stronger with Buttler and Kieswetter back.
-
feel sorry for T&T, they fielded so well and deserved to beat MI

Zommerzet have taken a bit of a Chris Gayle pounding on a very small ground... there will have to be fireworks if they are to win this one now - although Vittori apart there is very little bowling in the RCB team (nannes is massively out of form... and needs to produce)
hummm come on the zummers, I am just about ready for a pint of cider, cloudy, not clear. ;)
-
A lot of runs for us to get, but I have faith!
-
Jos Buttler... I'm very disappointed with you.
Would have been better if they sent Compton in for a little more impetus.
-
Steve Snell would have done a better job.
Now, Trego's gone; game over.
-
Anyone watching? David warner just hit 135* off 69 balls. 8 Sixes one of which went out of the ground. Amazing

Yea it was stunning, Hussey looking good at the mo too
-
Spectacular stuff from Warner, switch hitting regularly prompting the commentator to say that this is getting silly now , we should start to divide the runs between how many he scored as a right and as a left hander.
-
Must win game for Somerset tomorrow, I hope they drop Hildreth for Snell and Buttler proves himself...
-
Great win for somerset. Into the semi final now.
-
When does Kieswetter join up with England ?
-
Get in Somerset! :D
-
Was coaching today so missed the game, (yes in this weather!), Tom did his best to keep me updated on twitter along with instinct cricket
Great result for Somerset! Will be watching the highlight later! #blackbird
Sorry, I realise this is twitter, but any said about Somerset has to go with that hashtag! Ha
-
Bam! Great yorker there by Tait! I really want Redbacks to win this.
-
And to think, they dropped him for the Somerset match!
-
Dan Christian, you monumental (No Swearing Please)!
-

he he he

Haha loved Warner's reaction when he saw Gayle's bat, it is definitely very heavy! Warner was like its weight lifting bar ahah
-
Yea in Gayles hands it looked normal but in Warners hands it looked huge !!!
-
David Warner looks to have improved so much from when he made his debut. He's a proper talent and wouldn't mind seeing Essex sign him for the T20 next year.
Also did anyone see Warner and Smith's head butt mid pitch. I wonder if that will replace the good old glove punch on a Saturday afternoon?
-
outstanding innings by Warner again !!!
-
Gayle..... Oh my god.
-
This game is an unbelievable batting spectacle
-
Seriously, Gayle and the WICB needs to sort their issues out. International cricket is currently being deprived of a superstar.
-
Come on Somerset! #Blackbird
-
Buzzing for the game now, come on Somerset!!
-
WRONG LENGTHS!!
-
Colesy, I think I've found you on twitter!
I'm relying on checking #blackbird for commentary because I'm nowhere near a TV.
Score update please?
-
117-4 off 16
-
Peter Trego's brother does a commentary of it!
-
I can't stand harsha bhogle, he's a complete (No Swearing Please).
160's not bad, if we get off to a good start it's more than gettable.
-
I can't stand the person who introduces the sides. He always is massively biased towards the Indian teams.
-
Need to get a move on Somerset!
-
Kieswetter is struggling, hate you say it but if they need 40 from the last 4 they have virtually no chance the way Malinga is bowling.
-

He's brought the rugby into in now...
-
Awesome shot by Jos. Bring it in now!
-
Decent close up of the new puma gloves with that Kieswetter injury
-

True.
They are alright, don't like that shiny part really
-
F*** you Franklin!!!!
-
Not sure but is there any Redback player in Somerset? I spotted Redback gloves I think
-
Missed out on a few singles with the running but Mumbai bowled a lot better. Top effort, especially Kieswetter.
-
Ayrtekkers on show
-
Game over surely...
Come on Alfonso, undo your 20 off one over.
EDIT: just noticed they sent kartik in
-
I don't know why I feel this way but I don't think CL people would ever want a foreign team to win, they want the money to remain in India
-
And the commentators certainly don't!
-
There was a subtle bias. Is it always in India?
-

From what I have seen yes unfortunately.
If you see the way are winning one can say it is all scripted.
The CL's played earlier were won by Indian teams as well.
-
And yet India aren't even in the top 2 T20 sides in the world.
Proves that spending ridiculous amounts gets you nowhere; just compare the salary of the Somerset team and the Mumbai team.
-
Champions league should be different countries or India will dominate cricket, not just financially, but powerfully moreso than now. The BCCI are a disgrace as they are now, don't want it to get worse.
-
How does it work? 4 Indian teams then 2 from all of the others?
-
just compare the salary of the Somerset team and the Mumbai team.
Completely agree with that. Got to remember that Mumbai had Somerset's overseas player playing for them. More than likely 'cos they pay him more.
-

I once saw an unofficial ranking of domestic T20 teams from the world and Sailkot Stallions of Pakistan was the first one and yet they are not seen in CL.
India is dominating cricket and ICC is under BCCI's control.
I always say ''What goes up comes down' if India/BCCI is soo high/up just wait few years and see they will be on there knees.
CL and IPL will flop eventually.
-
@Cover_Drive, if the Champions League was in a different country then Pakistani sides would take part it in, it's all politics.
I see what you're saying but remember that India are NOT the best side out there, but I do agree that the ICC is a puppet and the BCCI a puppet master.
-
CD and Wazza, the problem is not with the ICC or the BCCI. The problem is the politicians of India and Pakistan.
What we hear and see on the news channels and other media on Ind / Pak relations is very far from the truth and how the common man in both these countries feels about their neighbours.
I have been to Pak several times and never felt insecure or scared. I have always been greeted and treated with warmth.
Politics and religion are to blame. The majority of the voters are ill-informed common masses which get exploited by provoking anti-Ind or anti-Pak sentiments.
-
I'm getting at the fact that India are just trying to buy their way to number 1, which won't work.

As deplorable as it is, I suppose it is better than the Pakistani approach of cheating your way to number 1 ;)

Haha, wouldn't bowling no-balls ruin that anyway?

If you are going to be the best bowler for the next decade and a few grand for a no ball seems like a good idea, you deserve a life ban for ruddy stupidity... :D
-
It's as if the PCB and BCCI are extremeties. PCB pay barely anything whereas BCCI pay a hell of a lot.
-
Fancy Challengers to win today! Mumbai need to rebuild already.
-
Why no pollard
-
Pollard is playing. He was number 6.
-
I meant why did he bat so low give him a chance to get in rather than heres 6 overs do what you can
-
Franklin was key, then ran himself out! idiot
-
Most of Somerset's key players will be snapped up by some of these IPL franchises and then next season, if we do make it to the Champion League; it will be difficult, to say the least, to emulate the success we've had this year.
-
Big wicket for Mumbai, getting Gayle cheaply
