Man of the match: Ian Butler
 
Thanks Hedge.
Very happy with my team's effort.
A marathon innings by Martin Guptill is what set up this match nicely.
We had targetted that 190-210 mark if we had to bat first.
Ian Butler was phenomenal in the T20 tournament and a lot was expected of him in the 50 over competetion as well,but,he didn't quite deliver the goods which had casted a shadow of doubt over his selection in the team but this performance has erased all the doubts regarding his potential.
Shane Bond was told to attack early on and thus was a bit expensive but,as long as the wickets were falling consistently,we were more than happy to buy them.
Reese Young and Daryl Tuffey gave us a few tense moments but we were just a little bit better than them tonight.
We wish them good luck for the next season and coming back to the present,we will be facing a team which always gave us a tough time tomorrow.Win or lose,we have done well enough to reach this stage and will certainly carry this momentum in to the next season. :cheers

*Though in terrible form,Kallis has been recalled just because of his experience at the top,this being a high pressure game while Tim Southee,who was unlucky to miss out in the last match gets a nod ahead of Trent Boult who has done well for us so far.

I only just noticed that my match had already been played. Well done Kyle Mills for taking 5/34. Rahul Dravid was fantastic yet again, scoring 89*, basically winning me the game. I hope that I can win the final now. Good luck to the 2 other teams that still remain.
 
Have to say, First tournament in my time in this league. Semi Final is a fantastic achievement. Well Done lads, on this occasion Wellington showed there experiance with the ball. Well done BCVS hope you win it now:banana2
 
Canterbury Cannons v Wellington Thunderbolts
50 Over Tournament - Preliminary Final


Ground - AMI Stadium, Christchurch
Pitch - Excellent

Canterbury Cannons - Stephen Fleming (c), Kevin Pietersen, Sachin Tendulkar, Michael Clarke, Dwayne Bravo, Daniel Flynn, Daniel Vettori, Derek de Boorder (wk), James Franklin, Chris Martin, Dale Steyn

Wellington Thunderbolts - Michael Hussey, Jacques Kallis, Martin Guptill, Ross Taylor, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Paul Collingwood, Shahid Afridi, Kane Williamson, Ian Butler, Timothy Southee, Shane Bond

Canterbury won the toss, and their were no surprises in what they done on a belter of a pitch.
Bond picked up Pietersen early, but after that it was a Fleming - Tendulkar masterclass partenership, as they put on 139 at better than a run a ball.
Clarke came to the wicket and also played a very handy knock, as he got support from both Bravo and Flynn.
There was not much to celebrate for the Wellington bowlers, as the only one to go off the field with a smile on his face was Ian Butler. He bowled eight quite suburb over's, only giving up 39 runs.

After Wellington lost Hussey early, a lot of pressure was put on the out of form Kallis. He responded bringing up a run a ball 50, but perished straight after that.
The whole Thunderbolts top/middle order got starts, but the big three figures alluded them all.
A tense last two over's were installed for us, as Wellington required 18 runs. Michael Clarke turned out to be the unlikely Canterbury hero with the ball, only conceding one run from the penultimate over.
In the end Wellington fell a heartbreaking eight runs short, in what really was an outstanding all-round game of cricket.

Stephen Fleming was awarded man of the match, for his 94 which set up the Canterbury innings.

Canterbury Cannons won by 8 runs
  
Man of the match: Stephen Fleming
 
Unlucky there Wellington. So close. Only lost by 8 runs. Other than Hussey, all batsman got above 40 other than Afridi who hit 13*. Well batted Fleming for 94 which pretty much won the game for Canterbury.

Lineup for Final. Now I want to win the final now.

1. Ricky Ponting (c)
2. Kumar Sangakkara (wk)
3. Rahul Dravid

4. Grant Elliot^
5. Peter Fulton
6. Neil Broom
7. Craig Cumming^
8. Nathan McCullum^
9. Kyle Mills^ (Can he repeat his semi final performance)
10. Ryan Sidebottom^
11. Shoaib Akhtar^


Changes:
In: Kumar Sangakkara, Craig Cumming
Out: Shiv Chanderpaul, Craig McMillan
 
Code:
48.1  Clarke to Colli'wood, one run, That is very well run by Shahid Afridi       
48.2  Clarke to Afridi, no run, Shahid Afridi was completely deceived 
48.3  Clarke to Afridi, no run, Michael Clarke is getting the ball to turn ferociously
48.4  Clarke to Afridi, no run, Defensively played by Shahid Afridi
48.5  Clarke to Afridi, no run, Shahid Afridi missed that one by a mile
48.6  Clarke to Afridi, no run, That ball was a mystery to the batsman

That was the turning point of the match.
Michael Clarke:hpraise
Stephen Fleming:hpraise
Sachin Tendulkar:hpraise
Everyone were brilliant.
Its the final showtime now.
Though Steyn went for quite a few in last game,I would keep him in.

Stephen Fleming (C)
Michael Clarke ^
Sachin Tendulkar
Kevin Pietersen
Dwayne Bravo ^
Daniel Flynn
Daniel Vettori ^
Derek de Boorder (WK)
James Franklin ^
Chris Martin ^
Dale Steyn ^

Same line-up but a Clarke to open and Pietersen to bat at no. 4.
 
Well I was runner up in the 20 over Tournament. Let's go one step further and win the 50 over tournament. Good luck Canterbury Cannons.
 
Needed someone to score a big ton but that wasn't to be.
Like i said yesterday,we still are very pleased with our effort and will see you all again next season.:)
 
Auckland Aces v Canterbury Cannons
50 Over Tournament - Grand Final


Ground - Eden Park, Auckland
Pitch - Excellent

Auckland Aces - Ricky Ponting (c), Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Rahul Dravid, Grant Elliot, Peter Fulton, Neil Broom, Craig Cumming, Nathan McCullum, Kyle Mills, Ryan Sidebottom, Shoaib Akhtar

Canterbury Cannons - Stephen Fleming (c), Michael Clarke, Sachin Tendulkar, Kevin Pietersen, Dwayne Bravo, Daniel Flynn, Daniel Vettori, Derek de Boorder (wk), James Franklin, Chris Martin, Dale Steyn

The Cannon's captain Stephen Fleming won the toss, and yet again he had the simple task of saying Canterbury will have a bat.
Him and Clarke got straight into the Auckland bowlers, putting on 71 for the first wicket, before Tendulkar joined Fleming and they piled on a monumental 140 runs, from just 104 balls.
Pietersen scored a handy 50 to go with Fleming's 101 and Tendulkar's 99, as the Cannons smashed an outstanding 347 for seven off their 50 overs.
The only Auckland bowler not to receive the full treatment, was Kyle Mills who had figures off two for 58.

Auckland would of been looking for a good start, but instead of that they got a dream one. Ponting and Sangakkara combined for 161, as they got Auckland right back into the game.
Elliot came to the wicket and continued the openers momentum, but he couldn't find another ally as the required run rate climbed over eight for the last 10.
Vettori and Bravo were outstanding for Canterbury during the middle and end overs, as they conceded under five an over from their 20 over's between them.
In the end the Aces fell 21 runs short, in what will be remembered as one of the great grand finals of any cricket tournament.

We'll be back soon with the presentation.

Have to mention Dan Vettori over here as the figures say it all.
10 overs,2/46 on an excellent batting track is just amazing.
Exceptional performance by Cannons. :happy
Well done to Auckland Aces for reaching this far.

We're back at Eden Park, for the presentation of the New Zealand Premier League 50 over tournament.

We'll start off with two of the consultation awards, that were decided a few days ago.
In fifth equal place, both teams with three wins from their ten games, we have the Northern Gangsters managed by nakul, and the Otago Volts managed by BKB.

We'll now get onto the man of the match awards, in the round robin.
Throughout the 30 round robin matches 30 man of the match awards were given out, each player receiving one got $5,000.
Special mention has to go to Stephen Fleming, who received three of these awards.

Now we'll get on to the man of the match awards in the play-offs, each of these four players will receive $10,000.
In the major semi-final we had Kyle Mills, and in the minor semi-final we had Ian Butler.
In the Preliminary Final it was awarded to Stephen Fleming, for his match winning 94.
Our man of the match from the grand final today goes to Canterbury's top order batsman, Sachin Tendulkar.

Our next award for fourth place receives $10,000, and that goes to a team which had a slow start to the tournament, but really picked up their game towards the end, the Central Strikers managed by 20/20 PRO.
The team in third place receives $50,000, and that went to the side that lacked consistency but at times produced moments of brilliance, the Wellington Thunderbolts managed by bcvs.

Our next two awards are some very rich awards, the batsmen and the bowler of the tournament. They will each receive $25,000.
The batsmen of the tournament goes to the player who has scored the most runs, and that goes to Canterbury's opener and captain Stephen Fleming with 737 run's from 13 innings.
