BLUES OVERCOME BUSHRANGERS

Thursday, 22nd October 2009

HYDERABAD, INDIA

New South Wales last night repeated the dose from their recent domestic clashes at home with the Victorian Bushrangers. The powerful Bushrangers were sent packing by The Blues who delivered some knockout blows.

Firstly they batted aggressively early through David Warner and Phillip Hughes, then took two crucial early wickets in the second over to scuttle the chances for the Bushrangers who never recovered. Twenty20 cricket doesn't allow time for steadying and building an innings after a setback. The Blues have an impressive attack, with an abundance with internationals. Brett Lee and Doug Bollinger usually lead the way. However Nathan Hauritz took the early wickets of Rob Quiney and Brad Hodge in only the second over of the innings to send the Bushrangers reeling. Follow that up with the evergreen and unflappable Stuart Clark, supported by the youngsters in Moises Henriques and Steven Smith and they are a hard side to overcome.

The recovery never came, but the end did rather quickly.

Tonight the Trinidad and Tobago outfit will meet the Cape Cobras from South Africa in the second semi final here in Hyderabad. The victors will meet the Blues here tomorrow night in the final clash of this inaugural Champions League. There have been many individual highlights so far but the blazing bat of Trinnie and Tobago's Kieran Pollard against the Blues when he hammered an unbeaten 54 runs from only 18 deliveries is the standout for me.

Who knows? There might be someone who can go one better tonight or in the final tomorrow.

Between games my daughter and I have enjoyed roaming about the old city of Hyderabad. Whether exploring Golkonda Fort or the markets of Charminar, there's always plenty to see...like the Charminar Dental Hospital and its array of replacement dentures...

I found some cricket fans at the Charminar Dental Clinic.

I just couldn't find any dentures that were a comfortable fit!
