For God's sake Sydney don't choke now....
I know how it feels to lose in finals against a shitty team.
Hoping to see Umair to win the league, has he changed his name or some other guy managing his team ?
@Saroj padhy well done mate.
Hard luck to Punjab as well.

A fitting win for Sydney Roosters, Birmingham Blaze are dismayed and shattered. They missed their star middle-order batsman, Steven Smith so much. He was taken away from them, and given to the opposition by the Player Clash Rule. Eoin Morgan's men tried so hard, and got so far. But, in the end, it didn't even matter!!!

There were no special bowling figures produced by Sydney Roosters' bowlers, but some of them were worthy of a mention. One of them was, Brett Lee's 2/60 in his full quota of 10.0 overs.

Just like Brett Lee, Jim Allenby also picked 2 wickets. But, he was more economical than his veteran teammate.
