The final will start 17: 45 GMT.

Just one question to start with: Is Abdur Rehman going to play for Somerset?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Hope it does not rain again like yesterday & no Rehman WON'T play for Somerset.

Supporting Hampshire today.

[Bullet Drive]

First game to start in about 9 minutes. Quite a lot of cricket games on today:

2 SLPL games.
4 FLT20 games.
1 test match.
1 ODI.

 

[Asif321]

The winner will meat the Stallions

yep should be nice ... btw afridi is in hampshire squad but didnt play game does it mean if hampshire qualify for CL he can play for them ?

 

[Bullet Drive]

Yorkshire to bat first. Full house at the Swalec.

 

[Bullet Drive]

yep should be nice ... btw afridi is in hampshire squad but didnt play game does it mean if hampshire qualify for CL he can play for them ?

No he cannot.

+ Afridi can get in if Ruhuna win SLPL.

 

[Asif321]

No he cannot.

+ Afridi can get in if Ruhuna win SLPL.

hmmmm... ruhuna are in danger of not even geting to semis

 

[Asif321]

weather is good ... crowd is good ...

 

[Bullet Drive]

7 runs off the first over. Ground not full yet.

 

[cricketpassion]

This year not many Pakistani players playing in FLT20

[khalil1986]

last year there were HD links...where r they?

Heard of google? I'm pretty sure you are probably aware PP won't let us post illegal links so just try google and I'm sure you'll find them without much difficulty.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Sorry, forgot!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Last year there was CricketHD who offered a free HD stream for the day.

I was at Edgbaston watching it live though

 

[Bullet Drive]

40-3 after 6 overs.

 

[rooster]

Any links to watch in iPhone?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Very impressed by Azim Rafiq and Moin Ashraf looks to be able to bowl yorkers at will.

Might be getting a bit ahead of myself but these two could be a part of englands t20 squads in a few years.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

6 balls 6 yorkers all on the money. Top stuff from Ashraf.

A bit on the slow side but hes still young.

 

[Executioner]

Wow its an afternoon match and yet it gets so much crowd!

Thumbs down to slpl. I find FLT20 more interesting

 

[Asif321]

Yorkshire first time in semis , first time in final and first time in CLT20
Congrats ..........

MashaAllah sajdah by ashraf

 

[DeadlyVenom]

4 overs none for 31, sounds terrible but hes bowled brilliantly. Terriffic!

Bumble talking about Ashraf.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

A very impressive looking somerset batting line up batting first against hampshire.

Levi and kieswetter opening!

 

[Bullet Drive]

91-6

 

[Asif321]

rehman not playing ............

hope yorkshire and hampshire make clt20

Exactly Happned what i wished

 

[Saj]

This David Miller is some hitter.

He's hit 3 sixes into the river taff.

Really surprised that he hasn't made the South Africa T20 world cup squad.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Bresnan trying to be a hero, should rather give Miller the strike. He's smoking it!

 

[Shayan]

20 off 11 needed.

 

[Shayan]

20 off 10. Miller has played a blinder here.

19 off 9 now.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Will Miller choke? :SA

Excellent over so far

 

[Shayan]

16 off 7. Huge ball coming up.

 

[anakwalajinn]

What a great innings by Miller!
Has made the last 10 overs really exiting. 14 from 6 req.

 

[Shayan]

2 off it, 14 needed from the last over but Bresnan on strike.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

No tie on finals day this time, last year we had 2 of them in SF iirc. Right time for a tie

 

[Shayan]

14 off 5 needed as Bresnan is caught off a skier.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Jeez should've rather looked to get a single, a run missed but Miller is on strike now.

 

[Shayan]

13 off 4, Miller off strike

 

[Shayan]

Hampshire win. Good final over.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

10 runs from last 2 overs, excellent bowling. Yorkshire looked all set to win until a great penultimate over.

 

[DHONI183]

Good effort by David Miller yesterday. I was 100% sure he will pull it off comfortably the way he was batting, but made a few mistakes in the last two overs like giving the other batsmen the strike. Still, he single-handedly did it all.

Congratulations to Hampshire! Well done!

 

[DHONI183]

Besides, it is quite ridiculous to hold the semi-finals as well as the final on the same day. It can be mental fatigue for the viewers.
