I hope the Redbacks management is straight onto this blokes manager for the upcoming 20/20 gig. This inning for T&T was one of the best displays of hitting you will ever see anywhere. What an excitement machine - 54 runs off 18 balls to rescue an impossibility to a win in a canter.

Absolutely sensational and the IPL clubs will be lining up with an open cheque book for this bloke!

[ORDoubleBlues]

And I've got a feeling the New York Yankees, The LA Dodgers, and a few other MLB clubs would have been interested in that performance.

Absolutely sensational. Words cant describe Pollard's innings - Afridi eat your heart out.

What an absolute machine! That was one of the best innings I've seen in my life. I still can't believe what I saw.

I wonder if a similar incident to the Pakistan/Sri Lanka Test earlier this year occurs in this tournament, would the 2011 World Cup be awarded to us and NZ or will the dollars (or rupees) prevail again?

Also bad luck to Justin Langer having to finish his career like that he and Matthew Hayden were a great opening pair.

Semi Final between NSW and VIC underway now, NSW in bat and off to a flayer...

After 4 overs, NSW 0/35 with Warner hitting them everywhere again on 23 off no more than 10 balls I would suggest !!!

Been trying to find out when and on what channel the final is being televised? Anyone know?

[Gozu]

Yep it's on One HD at 12:30am tonight and I think they're replaying it on Saturday morning & on Saturday night at around 7:30pm.

Should be a cracker of a game and the Blues dominated the majority of the match last time until Kieron Pollard happened. $2.7 million up for grabs, New South Wales or Trinidad & Tobago? I'm backing NSW with their Test strength bowling line up plus Warner & Hughes are batting well.

That's a nice little pay day...

They were interviewing one of the NSW state players before hand and he was saying for a few of the lesser lights the money would go towards a house deposit etc.

[Rik E Boy]

We're in the money, we're in the money. Maybe we can hire an import so we can finally win a few Franger games and get our Shield back.
