Trinidad & Tobago came out second in a thrilling match of the Champions League Twenty20 (CLT20) against the Mumbai Indians, despite a remarkable performance from West Indian cricketer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233.
The game which was played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bangalore, on Monday, September 26, saw MI snatch a victory from the Caribbean side on the last ball of the match.

At the match presentation, Rampaul said, “Get the yorkers in, don't go for many runs. Being bowled out for 98 we needed early wickets, so I went out attacking. We showed character and heart, and we have three games to follow. I found little extra bounce, and the shape, so the pitch helped.”
The right-arm pacer was seemingly unplayable as he took three wickets while conceding just 17 runs from his spell. Local boy, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611 were amongst his victims.

“Disappointing the result. The guys are shattered. Imagine the manner we fought, but didn't come out winning. Definitely ordinary batting, we showed a lot of heart in the field. That was the first thing, to play for the Super Over. It's unfortunate; Denesh couldn't hit the stumps, these things happen in cricket.”
The stand-in skipper of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472he win, especially after the way his batsmen threw away their wickets in pursuit of a minute total.
