pratibharathore Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 Airtel CLT20 set to be True Tournament of Champions The inaugural Airtel Champions League Twenty20 is set to be the True Tournament of Champions following the naming of the preliminary squads. Of the 234 players nominated by the 12 teams, 110 (more than 47%) have already played international cricket for their respective countries. If all of these players then go on to be included in their team's respective starting XIs for the tournament from October 8-23, then more than 80% of players taking the field at the Airtel Champions League Twenty20 will have played international cricket. Illustrating the quality of the world-class squads that have been named, New South Wales Blues and the Delhi Daredevils will each be capable of playing a team wholly comprising of international players. Wayamba, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Victorian Bushrangers meanwhile have 10 internationals each in their ranks. The other teams have equally impressive line-ups. Trinidad & Tobago and Sussex feature nine players with international experience, while the Cape Cobras and Deccan Chargers have eight, Otago has seven and the Diamond Eagles and Somerset have four apiece.

Laxman is very much part of the scheme of things in the Champions League Twenty20 competition starting from October 8.

Yabaser Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 well such games rarely see in a millineum that is what makes cricket the good of all the games Cricket, one of the best sports any can play, where eleven fielders and two batsmen stand on a field trying to show how they are better than the other. This was definitely not the case at one of the best cricket matches I have ever been to.
