Leicestershire v Trinidad & Tobago | 20/9/11 | Hyderabad(Deccan) | CLT20 (Razzaq)

[talha3]

3.40pm Most of the headlines surrounding Leicestershire's build-up to the CLT20 has been about their game-changing allrounder Abdul Razzaq, who hopes his participation in the tournament paves the way for Pakistan players to take part in the IPL and also in resumption of bilateral cricket series with India.

"Interested in CLT20 only because Razzaq is playing from Pakistan," says Asad. Most others still seem to be finding a reason.

3.30pm T&T have won the toss and they choose to bat. T&T retain the same XI that did the job yesterday, Daren Ganga expects today's pitch to have less on offer for spinners than yesterday's.

Leicestershire captain Matthew Hoggard is happy to bowl first, says he's not sure what sort of score is a good total on this track.

 

[Punisher]

Is this match going to be telecasted in UK and if so then which channel?

 

[talha3]

Is this match going to be telecasted in UK and if so then which channel?

It will be on Eurosport 2 but because it clashes with the SL vs Aus match, the first hour of the match will be missed.

 

[Osman]

well well well....had a wicket 1st ball but not given

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Good start by T&T.

Think Razzaq will enjoy batting on this track later.

 

[talha3]

T&T looking set for a big score.

 

[Osman]

razzaq holds the key with the ball as well.....most economical bowler by far atm

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Fielding has been atrocious here.

 

[IAJ]

Lols whenever a Pakistani is involved this Lendl Simmons gets pumped up and scores big.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

) @ that wide.

 

[Osman]

nixon not having a good day either...unusual for him

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Nixon (41) Hoggard (Almost 35), Henderson (almost 40) are way too old for this format.

 

[talha3]

Was looking like a good spell from Razzaq until his last ball, smashed for 6.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Poor stuff from Razzaq. gets hammered in the last over and goes wicketless.
he is finished as a bowler nowadays and seems to be getting hammered on most occasions even against lesser oppositions

 

[Osman]

razzaq going to have to come to the part today with the bat....

 

[Osman]

Poor stuff from Razzaq. gets hammered in the last over and goes wicketless.

oh quit ur complaining

 

[iHammad]

4 overs 33 runs, not good

 

[chui_kadoo]

Razzaq needs to make up for it with the bat. Needs to make 40- 50 runs atleast

 

[talha3]

169 to win.

 

[chui_kadoo]

oh quit ur complaining

Its not complaining. Its an honest assessment of his bowling in recent times

 

[chui_kadoo]

168 will be a stiff target. Alot will depend on Razzaq and Mcdonald

 

[IAJ]

Leicestershire is good at chasing. They have even chaced a 200+ score this season so this is going to be interesting. Good luck Abdul Razzaq!

 

[Osman]

Its not complaining. Its an honest assessment of his bowling in recent times

he had a wicket 1st ball...the guy then went on to score a rapid half century....unfortunate

 

[Watsupdoc]

But but but I thought it was a Tamasha league...

 

[Ahsan_8]

Razzaq to score a quick fire 60 today winning the game . /Prediction

 

[Sir john]

T&T gonna win i think.

 

[talha3]

delete

 

[SOSami]

Come on Foxes. The batting line-up has been the strength of this team. Need to fire again.

 

[SOSami]

Nixon (41) Hoggard (Almost 35), Henderson (almost 40) are way too old for this format.

Nixon would out-run most Asian players.

Hoggard, is Hoggard.

Henderson has been key to Leicestershire success this season.

Old but not your traditional oldies.

 

[Ahsan_8]

Four!

 

[talha3]

Cobb is the pinch hitter in this team.

Big man McDonald out early.

 

[Ahsan_8]

Out!

 

[IAJ]

Lols Leicestershire's best batsman out.

 

[talha3]

Lols Leicestershire's best batsman out.

Cmon you know the best batter is Razzaq.

 

[talha3]

Cobb also gone. Leics in big trouble. Razzaq is their only hope left.

 

[Ahsan_8]

Pathetic Batting really ...

 

[Osman]

not sure why Razzaq rates White.....rubbish cricketer!

 

[velu]

Leicestershire 3 down for 16 in 3.5 overs

 

[IAJ]

Cmon you know the best batter is Razzaq.

Oh lala McDonald has been their highest run-getter in this season with 7 fifties I think. That's why I said he was their best batsman.

But of course AR is their most dangerous batsman, it's all fun yaar

 

[Sir john]

4 down for foxes.

 

[talha3]

Laughable display from the foxes. This performance has been like a top 8 international team against Canada/Kenya.

 

[cricketindiafan]

4 down now. Leics looking clueless. Not sure how many days they have spent in India. Completely alien conditions for these players and they are struggling.

 

[Osman]

not sure why Razzaq is being held back....even the commies questioning....before the rr spirals too high

 

[Sir john]

nixon is the new batsman.

 

[Ahsan_8]

Seriously THIS team won FLT20? Either way Taylor looks like their only batsman with some brains though .

 

[talha3]

20-5 lol. Razzaq will come in now, but this is too much for him to do.

 

[cricketindiafan]

20/5 what a huge let down.

 

[Sir john]

5 down now.

 

[Osman]

razzaq in....the last hope

 

[IAJ]

20/5, what a flying start fro Leics.

 

[IAJ]

3 ducks already in this innings.

 

[talha3]

) Taylor facing out 5 dot balls and 1 run when the RRR is over 10.

 

[Osman]

LOL 5 dot balls then a single....depriving razzaq of strike in the next over when he is the one that should be facing the most balls

 

[shark11]

lol at the standard of champion english t20 team. What a joke.

 

[velu]

runrate 3

 

[chui_kadoo]

Dismal stuff this. Quite embarrassing frankly

 

[Watsupdoc]

Pathetic Tamasha this

 

[chui_kadoo]

Razzaq might as well bat the overs by playing sensibly

 

[Sir john]

144 in 70

too much for Leicestershire

 

[tahir_dj]

WHERE R YU GUYS watching?

 

[Sir john]

by razzaq

 

[Ahsan_8]

Huge by razzaq

 

[Osman]

6!

 

[nads_rocks]

Leicester depend on Razzaq way tooo much. Useless bunch!

 

[Sir john]

narine bowling well

 

[talha3]

Leics are just playing for a better net run rate now.

 

[tahir_dj]

any links guyyss

 

[Sir john]

:4 by razzaq

 

[chui_kadoo]

They will need to bat the overs now and make sure that their run rate doesnt take a huge drop

 

[velu]

only Razzler can save the game

 

[Sir john]

:6 by james taylor

 

[Ahsan_8]

IS this supposed to be the Champions league? Pathetic stuff!

On another note Wouldn't it be awesome if Lahore Lions and Sialkot Stallions were playing in it =)

UA smashing Ravi Rampul all over the park. :iamlegend hitting those pulls and cuts of his =)

 

[Sir john]

end of razzaq

 

[Osman]

game over.

 

[chui_kadoo]

Razzaq gone. Game over

 

[talha3]

Razzaq gone. Leics are virtually out of the tournament in just one match because they will suffer a major net run rate loss after this game.

 

[Sir john]

t&t in main round now

 

[velu]

razzaq

 

[chui_kadoo]

Probably just get above 100 now

 

[velu]

6 overs 99 runs needed..
impossible task
