Any predictions for this? Should be an exciting tournament, although it seems there won't be any TV coverage.

Yes it should be quite interesting. Not sure how the non-english teams will do though, as Im unaware of how much 20-20 they have played! I think Somerset will come out on top if I had to make a prediction!

 

[dazza76]

Can't wait for Chilaw Marians Cricket Club v Titans.
Counting down the hours.

This sounds an awesome tournament, but where's the tv coverage.

Don't look very hard do you.

Faisalabad won the Twenty20 Cup in Pakistan, but I dont think they'll play too well against the experienced English county side, Somerset is it?

Only highlights on Sky Sports, no live coverage.

 

[Skater]

The live coverage for the tournament will be by Zee TV. You'll be able to see an article by me about this on Cricketing World shortly.

Yup you missed three bowl outs at the indoor cricket school. Total play in the 3 games: 2.1 overs...
The wisdom of scheduling cricket for the middle of September in England leaving something to be desired.

 

[andrew_nixon]

I hope this fiasco doesn't prevent this tournament from happening again, as it has the potential to be a very interesting concept, especially now that Australia and New Zealand have adopted Twenty20 in their domestic set-up.

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is disappointing, that the matches have been washed out by rain.

I'll post the results here:
Chilaw Marians Cricket Club 21 for 0 v PCA Masters XI Match Abandoned - PCA won bowl-out 6-2
Leicestershire v Faisalabad Wolves - No result. Leicestershire won 5-3 in the indoor school to take two points.
PCA Masters XI v Titans - No result. PCA Masters XI win 6-5.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Well we have a game, and what a game!

Faisalabad Wolves innings: 207/5 (Mohammed Hafeez 79, Ijaz Ahmed Junior 40)
Somerset innings: 177 all out (Blackwell 82, Francis 41, Mohammed Hafeez 3/23)

Faisalabad Wolves win by 30 runs

No prizes for guessing who man of the match is!
