The second day in a row, 19 Chase turned the key for the South African team is knocked out of Champions League Twenty20. Yesterday I felt as if he were leaning in favor of any side to go bowling the penultimate over - a mortal Dale Steyn (where the numbers 3-1-3-1) and the bowl, against Trinidad & Tobago to a lower order, but it was the outsider who has won the Caribbean, Cape Cobra pushing out of the tournament.
Today it's more of a battle, even at this stage, with fighters that crashed in the past over 14 years for the equation to a GetTable December 23. With a place in the semifinals, and the attendant financial rewards on the line, Somerset captain Alfonso Thomas participation discomfort almost perfect in virtually ended in South Africa in the CLT20.
It began with a short ball that eluded Craig Thyssen place outside and had a cut deep midwicket Thyssen take. There was a stop at a third point on the ball and Wayne Parnell was fooled then by a slower delivery. A survey of all the powers of a desperate Parnell finished as a power line along a stretch of farewell before a clash of two rounds, the cheapest of the sleeves.
Thomas' heroics again confirmed the importance of a solid, and the left over the past warriors need a herculean 21 off the last six deliveries, which they turned upside down. They finished 13 short, and once again the South African team, who quickly made the start of a tournament in the world was eliminated early.
"This is Twenty20 cricket, I guess," said Capt. Johan Botha of the Warriors who have fallen four days after the top of the standings with two wins in two games. "It can turn very quickly, we had a good start and then had a break, five or six days. Too bad it had to end this way, but the other teams played well, we are not giving the kids a result, simply played better than us in the last two games. "
Bangalore is generally place the highest score of the tournament, and 146 looked like an effort Somerset below normal. Thomas said Craig Kieswetter, who impressed with the sleeves, was "really himself" not to push it aside to write more - but then warned Botha that it would be a difficult goal to pursue.
"The barrier was not the best wicket we've ever seen Bangalore, Kieswetter showed his class and set a good total for them," Botha said after the game. "Barrier almost played like Chennai, if you behind the pace, it was difficult to be really slow. You must give credit to the other team, they closed the game really well. "
Somerset has become the first in England to make semi-finals, leaving Thomas CLT20 full of praise for his team when he identified 20 years, rookie Adam Dibblen efforts. "He came in for his first game, went over 13 in his first, and came back and bowled probably one of the best periods of his life (he finished 4-0-24-1)," Thomas said. "This just shows the character of this team. We came here, nobody gave us a chance, say the truth, but they all pulled together and it was this team is all about."
Thomas admitted that there was still room for improvement. "We do not want to peak too early, because this team has been known to do," he said. "Fielding can certainly improve a bit ', but what about the batting and bowling, we are hitting our straps."
