It’s just been a wonderful journey – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jason-Neil-Gillespie-c66461 – Cricket News Update
Despite facing injury crisis during their ongoing Champions League T20 campaign, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867’s Head Coach, Jason Gillespie, says that the team is simply relishing the chance of proving their mettle against some of the world’s best international players.
Indeed, it has been a welcome journey for the club following an abysmal 2011 season where they had to deal with relegation from Division One. However, after spending shrewdly on players and coaching staff, Yorkshire managed to seal not only promotion, but a stint in the T20’s most lucrative competition, Champions League T20.
Still, few gave them a chance to qualify for the main draw after being pitted against a strong Sri Lankan outfit, Uva Next, and the dynamic Trinidad & Tobago side. However, they duly performed to their potential and outplayed their opponents to join the cash rich IPL outfits in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

Last night’s rain-abandoned clash against the Mumbai Indians have left the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 and Super Kings by big margins.
They further need to deal with a mounting injury list after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashraf-c46397, two of their main pacemen, limped off during the previous game. However, for Gillespie, their presence in the CL T20 alone is an evidence of how far the team has progressed over the past 12 months.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Gale-c1039 just mentioned that at the start of the season, in pre-season when we were in Barbados, who would've thought that we'd be in Cape Town playing against the Mumbai Indians in the Champions League," Gillespie said. "Sometimes we pinch ourselves I suppose. It's just been a wonderful journey.
"It must be said, these lads have worked incredibly hard, and they deserve this. The opportunity to play against some of the greats of not just now, but of all time, is pretty special and something that I'm sure these guys will remember for the rest of their lives."
