The music and the crowd was already into grove one and a half hours before the match. Shivamani with Viku Vinayakram were booming away though I thought this crowd was a bit too under for Viku to be performing for. Money is louder than his Ghatam! Crunch Time In Kolkata The Knight Riders have momentum going for them, having won back-to-back matches on the back of their “Captain Marvel”, Sourav Ganguly, who contributed with two Player of the Match performances highlighting his bowling, batting and fielding skills to silence the critics who questioned his leadership abilities and doubted his technical skills in this the newest format of the game. Speared! Man Up to Bristol to fight for the top spot in the South West group. We lose it to a good batting performance from Craig Spearman who takes the game with 10 balls to go. A good 290 isn't enough when this guy gets into that zone and we couldn't shift him.

Wembley Here We Come! Doncaster 5-1 Southend Utd MATCH Report by Martyn Robinson from Doncaster Rovers' Keepmoat Stadium, as Sean O'Driscoll sees his boys through to Wembley, following a fantastic second half James Coppinger hattrick backed up Brian Stock's first half penalty and Jason Price's goal which was fumbled over the line. Reaction to Ayden Duffy's 2007/8 Ayden Duffy came into the side following an injury to Alan Marriott and conceded within 3 minutes of being on the pitch, not the best start he could have possibly made.
