Yorkshire ready for the rollercoaster claims Andrew Gale – Cricket News Update
Following their progression to the tournament proper, Yorkshire skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Gale-c1039, says that his side is ready for the rollercoaster ride by taking on the big boys in the Champions League T20.
"We're looking forward to the rollercoaster. We're going to playing against some of the guys that we watch on TV. We're going to go in with a no-fear attitude and see where it takes us. Even if we lose every single game, that's okay," said Gale.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 booked their ticket to the main draw after securing back to back wins in their qualifying pool. They had earlier defeated Uva Next, the inaugural Sri Lankan Premier League champions, on the opening day before taking out a stern Trinidad & Tobago side last night.
Their task was made easier by the opponents, who surprisingly opted to bat first on a pitch which had aided seamers all along. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-Barath-c886 as T&T slumped to 3 for 8.
The early damage forced the batting side to accumulate, and despite http://www.senore.com/Cricket/D-Ramdin-c1299 (59) steadying the ship with a fourth-wicket stand of 93, the eventual target of 148 seemed always in reach.
The English county’s reply started slowly as they were reduced to 51 for 4 but supreme hitting display from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AU-Rashid-c1106 put them on the track as the pair shared an unbeaten 103-run stand to complete victory in 18.5 overs.
As a result, the Carnegie will move to Group B, where they will battle IPL teams in Chennai Super Kings and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808. Gale says that his team is prepared to take on the big boys.
"We know that some of the teams have been thrown together but we have played together all season," he said. "We don't fear anyone. We can just go into the main tournament with our head held high."
