Redbacks v Somerset - Match Abandonned

Whats that do to their chances of qualifying?

Have to beat Bangalore in last game of pool matches and rely on other sides dropping games. Our poor nett run rate will cost us.
If Somerset win 1 of their remainin 2 matches we are screwed.
That first game where we were poking singles around will come back to haunt us, we needed to have a crack and get closer to the target

Redbacks v Somerset - Match Abandonned

Whats that do to their chances of qualifying?

Weve got SFA chance now.
3 pts from 3 games (1 left)
BUT we have the worst NRR of all ten teams

We are still a chance.
Need Bangalore to beat Somerset tomorrow.
If that happens if we defeat Bangalore we are in as Warriors and Somerset play each other.

Results have gone the Redbacks way. Now a simple equation, if Redbacks defeat Bangalore they are in finals.

[CoverKing]

Interesting fact. In the 3 years of the champions league, no Australian domestic side has lost to an IPL side

[whufc]

When do the redbacks play next

[Jim05]

When do the redbacks play next

About 1am Thursday

[Squids]

Interesting fact. In the 3 years of the champions league, no Australian domestic side has lost to an IPL side

Thats because the IPL teams arent that good......very good international players but the domestic Indian players are no good, terrible in the field as well which is where the Aussie teams are very good.

[Jim05]

NSW play Chennai tonight for spot in finals.
Pretty sure Chennai is Bollinger and Husseys team so Dougie will be up against his NSW team mates

NSW finished top of their group after smashing the defending champions Chennai.
David Warner smashed 135* off 69 balls to get NSW to 2/201 off their 20 overs. Warner was especially savage on Dougie with Bollinger getting 0/48(3)
Chennai made 155 in reply with O'Keefe getting 3/28(4).
NSW and Mumbai through from group A

[Media Park]

David Warner smashed 135* off 69 balls

Has he done anything else in the CL comp yet, or is this his first Big Bang?

Hasnt had any real failures, reckon he has a couple of 10-20's and a 30-40

[Booney]

Check out some highlights. Warner was in his 50's-60's and had Doug Bollinger bowling full bangers and half trackers at him. One full toss went back over Dougs head, someone elses hair and out of the park.
