Sydney Sixers vs Titans Post Match Presentation Semi-Final CLT20 2012

O’Keefe: ‘It was good fun to open the batting. I’ll take it. We are in the final now and anything can happen. There is some nervous energy around the ranks.’

Steve O’Keefe is the MoM

Brad Haddin: ‘I thought we were good in the first 10 overs with the ball and first 5 overs with the bat. We panicked a bit but did well and we are in the final. We can take what we want out of this game. Bottomline is we are in a final now. I think the best two teams reached the final.’

van Jaarsveld: ‘Obviously really disappointed. Proud of the boys. We kept fighting throughout. Our execution at the top was not good and that is probably why we lost the game. The crowd was fantastic and we thank them for their support.’

Jayawardene, Malinga rested for one-off T20, Sri Lanka announce squad for NZ series

Posted: 26 Oct 2012 01:07 AM PDT


Sri Lankan cricket selectors on Thursday opted to rest Mahela Jayawardene and Lasith Malinga for one-off Twenty20 International, scheduled to be held in Pallekele on October 30, against the touring New Zealand.

Both Jayawardene and Malinga are currently playing in the ongoing Champions League Twenty20 in South Africa.

Off-spinner Ajantha Mendis, meanwhile, has been overlooked as he is nursing a side strain that he had suffered during the World Twenty20.

Angelo Mathews has been named the skipper of Twenty20 team following Jayawardene’s stepping down as captain after Sri Lanka lost the final of the World T20 championship against West Indies earlier this month.

Fast bowler Nuwan Kulasekara will be Mathews’ deputy in the game against the Kiwis.

A selector said that both Jayawardene and vice-captain Malinga have been given the jobs for a period of one year.

However, Jayawardene would return as the captain for the first three of the five One-day Internationals against New Zealand, starting November 1.

The 19-year-old off spinner Tharindu Kaushal, a lad from the rural south in the district of Galle, has been included in the ODI squad. He was a member of Sri Lanka Under-19 team that took part in the Youth World Cup in Australia last August. (PTI)

Squad for Twenty20: Angelo Mathews (c) Nuwan Kulasekara (vc) Dilshan Munaweera, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara, Dinesh Chandimal, Jeevan Mendis, Lahiru Thirimanne, Thisara Perera, Shaminda Eranga, Akila Dhananjaya, Sachithra Senanayake and Upul Tharanga.

Squad for first three ODIs: Mahela Jayawardene (c), Angelo Mathews (vc), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Kumar Sangakkara, Dinesh Chandimal, Lahiru Thirmanne, Thisara Perera, Jeevan Mendis, Nuwan Kulasekera, Lasith Malinga, Shaminda Eranga, Upul Tharanga, Rangana Herath, Akila Dhananjaya and Tharindu Kaushal.

Sunil Gavaskar honoured with Col CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award by BCCI

Posted: 26 Oct 2012 01:03 AM PDT


Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar will be conferred the Col CK Nayudu Lifetime Achievement award at the annual BCCI awards function.

The BCCI’s Col CK Nayudu Award Committee met here on Thursday and decided to confer the honour on the legendary opener, a release from BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale said.

The award comprises a trophy, citation and a cheque for Rs 25 lakh. Gavaskar will receive the honour at the BCCI Awards Ceremony, to be held shortly.

Gavaskar represented India in 125 Tests from 1970-71 to 1986-87, scoring a record 774 runs in his debut series in the West Indies.

He was the first batsman to score 10,000 runs in Tests, and the first to play 100 consecutive Tests. He was the first batsman to score hundreds in each innings of a Test thrice and was the first batsman to surpass Sir Don Bradman’s tally of 29 Test centuries.

He led India in 47 Tests and his greatest triumph as captain was India’s victory in the World Championship of Cricket, a limited-overs tournament featuring all the then Test-playing nations, in 1984-85.

Post retirement, he became a cricket expert. He was also the chairman of the BCCI’s Technical Committee, and the chairman of the ICC’s Cricket Committee.

Meanwhile, the committee has also decided to honour seven individuals posthumously with Special Award for their outstanding contribution to Indian cricket.

The yesteryear cricketers — Vijay Merchant, Vinoo Mankad, Dattu Phadkar, Vijay Manjrekar, Ghulam Ahmed, M L Jaisimha and Dilip Sardesai — will receive a trophy and cheque of Rs 15 lakh at the award ceremony.

It has been learnt that the ceremony will take place in Mumbai on November 21, two days before the commencement of the second India-England Test at the Wankhede Stadium. (PTI)

Preview: Sydney Sixers vs Titans, Semi-Final, Champions League T20 2012

Posted: 25 Oct 2012 02:54 PM PDT


A rampaging Sydney Sixers would look to maintain their winning momentum and book a berth in the final when they take on local side Titans in the second semi-final of the Champions League Twenty20 at Centurion on Friday.

Sixers are the only side to have won all their four group matches and they are the most all-round team in the tournament with balance in batting, bowling and fielding departments.

The Australian side had virtually spanked all their opponents in the first three Group B matches and the only time they had been put to test was when they clashed with last year’s champions Mumbai Indians in their last league game.

That match was played without the recent World Twenty20 Player-of-the-Tournament Shane Watson who had been called back by his Board to prepare for the home series against South Africa.

But in that match also, their bowlers, who have been in impressive form, stifled the star-studded Mumbai batting order to restrict them to 124 and ensure that the Sixers remain unbeaten and go into Friday’s semi-finals high on confidence.

Watson and Michael Lumb have been in explosive form at the top of the other, giving two 50-plus stands for the opening wicket in three matches they were together.

The middle-order of Nic Maddinson, captain Brad Haddin and Steven Smith have been supporting the openers well. Moises Henriques has also been in fine form, showing what a fine all-rounder he has been in the shortest format.

The only weak point, if there is any, for the Sixers is the spin department with their main slow bowler Simon O’Keefe having got just one wicket from the three matches he had played. But, the Sixers have relied heavily on their pacers to get the results and they have been doing just that.

The Titans, however, will have the advantage of crowd support as they are playing at their home ground Friday.

The South African side have a good bowling attack with the likes of Alfonso Thomas, Ethy Mbhalati, Cornelius de Villiers and Roelof van der Merwe among the wickets but their weak point is the inconsistent middle-order which would be put to severe test by the Sixers pacers.

The top-order of Jacques Rudolph and Henry Davids have been giving them good start most of the time but the middle order has not been able to capitalise on them.

Captain Martin van Jaarsveld has been inconsistent coming either at number four or five, so also Farhaan Behardien, Heino Kuhn or David Wiese.

Their batting weakness was exposed to the full in their penultimate league match against Kolkata Knight Riders in Cape Town where they were all out for just 89 in 16.4 overs while chasing a massive 189 for a win, thereby breaking their winning momentum.

Their last league match against Delhi Daredevils was washed out without a ball being bowled and the Titans will have to address the chinks in their batting armoury against the top-class pace-heavy bowling attack of Sixers if they have to have any chance of beating the most impressive side in the tournament Friday.

Teams:

Sydney Sixers (Probable): Michael Lumb, Peter Nevill, Nic Maddinson, Brad Haddin (c&wk), Moises Henriques, Steven Smith, Steve O’Keefe, Nathan McCullum, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood

Titans (Probable): Jacques Rudolph, Henry Davids, Martin van Jaarsveld (c), Farhaan Behardien, David Wiese, Roelof van der Merwe, Mangaliso Mosehle (wk), Cornelius de Villiers, Alfonso Thomas, Paul Harris, Ethy Mbhalati
