We can fill the void left by Shane Watson, says Brad Haddin – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558’s
absence will not hamper his team’s chances in the tournament.
Having won the toss, Haddin opted to bowl first with three quality fast bowlers in his ranks. The Lions however, were off to a brilliant start through http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gulam-Bodi-c1512, who smashed the Sixers to all parts of the ground,
scoring 61 runs off merely 44 balls, in which he struck four boundaries and three huge hits out of the park.
However, the middle-order batsmen failed to capitalise on the brisk start; hence, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-Aaron-Starc-c76392 was the pick of the
bowlers, picking up three vital wickets after giving away only 19 runs in his four overs.
The Sixers chased down the total with an over and five wickets to spare, almost securing a place in the semi-finals.
Haddin is happy that his bowlers were able to contain the Lions and hopes to carry on with the same momentum in the knockout stages of the event as well. The wicketkeeper/batsman claims that his side will be able
to fill the void left by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757.
"We did’t start well with the ball, we fought back well, happy with the total we got to chase. We have got good cover for Watson, wish him well for the Test series. Yes, we are thinking about the semi-finals now," said
the New South Welshman.

The opening batsman expressed, "Just a couple of bad overs with bat and ball. T20 cricket is all about that. Phangiso is an underrated bowler."
