Canterbury Cannons (2nd) v Auckland Aces (3rd)
2nd Semi Final Series - Game 1


Ground - AMI Stadium, Christchurch
Pitch - Excellent

Teams
Canterbury Cannons - Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni (c) (wk), Daniel Flynn, Kevin Pietersen, Shane Watson , Chris Harris, Johann Myburgh, Ewen Thompson, Tim Southee, Brent Arnel, Nathan Bracken

Auckland Aces - Andrew Strauss, Kumar Sangakkara (wk), Ricky Ponting, Grant Elliot, Neil Broom, Peter Fulton, Chris Cairns, Nathan Hauritz (c), Kyle Mills, Morne Morkel, Lance Shaw

Ricky Ponting was at his amazing best, as his 119 lifted the Aces up to 301 all out.
Andrew Strauss played a timely cameo up the top of the order smashing 51 off 39, plus Fulton and Morkel both chipped in towards the latter of the innings.
The Canterbury bowling attack was hit to all parts, and if it wasn't for Harris' nine overs only costing 31 runs, a total of around 350 was well in truly on the cards.

Mills done the damage up the top of the Cannons order, picking up two of the best one-day batsmen in the world for just four runs between them.
Tendulkar and Myburgh tried their best to keep Canterbury in the run chase, but 302 was just too big of a total chase down.
The Aces bowling effort was outstanding, Mills and Cairns were incredible at the top, and were both backed up well by Shaw, Morkel, and Hauritz.
There was an unsporting-like gesture in the final over of the match, as the Aces took the piss bowling batsman Peter Fulton for the final over of the match, when over six runs a ball was required.

Aces batsman Ricky Ponting was awarded man of the match, for his blistering 119 off only 110 balls.
Will Canterbury be able to fight back and level this semi final series, or will the Aces be able to wrap it up at home?

Auckland Aces won by 42 runs
  
Man of the match: Ricky Ponting
 
Ponting single handedly won them the game. That's a big shame. Woulda backed my batting to chase but I guess 300 was too much. Gutted. Not a good start. Ponting was actually dropped by Arnel caught and bowled. I guess he created the chance so I can't really drop him based off that. Just hope for more luck next time.

BAY OF PLEN' BLONDES 246       47.4 overs
HAWKE'S BAY MAGPIES  250/2     44.1 overs
   
Hawke's Bay Magpies won by 8 wickets
  
Man of the match: Ramnaresh Sarwan
 
Hey Callum I need a team in Season 3 at any cost.

Please let me know what all teams are available.
 
Yes, you're FIRST in line.
ATM there aren't any teams available.

Create a new team if needed :p.

No just Kidding mate.

I very badly want to be a part of this league mate.

Try removing the non-active members and replacing them with new members.

How is that Idea?
 
Everyone is active though. It's hard not to be active when you have to post your lineups each match.

Well Ricky Ponting pretty much won me the game. Second century of the tournament for him. Nice quick fifty from Strauss and a few runs from both Fulton and Morkel later on. Good bowling by everyone. Why was Cairns opening and I laughed when I saw Fulton bowl the last over since it was 46 runs to win.

48.3 Morkel to Myburgh, OUT, What a brilliant catch by Nathan Hauritz

Hauritz takes a lot of them, doesn't he. First a ball hammered back to him by Yousuf. Then one where it was at his feet and now this.

I've warned a couple of members (they know who they are), so if they see this post they'll hopefully realise that they need to increase their activity. ;)

CG123 added 8 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...

Yeah, there are a couple who hardly post in the thread though.

There's only really him or Morkel to open with Mills, has he been opening in your previous matches?
 
But Morkel is an opening bowler. Do you have Morkel set to Right Arm Fast cause that's what he is. He bowls around 145 km/h.

Yep, I just checked then.
Him and Taylor are both set to "Right Arm Fast"... ;)
