Deccan letting Gibbs go

Posted on/at 11:13 AM by Anonymous


The Deccan Chargers announced that Herschelle Gibbs will not be in their squad for the Champions League. Is he not good enough? How embarrassing for Gibbs who said that he favors Deccan a week ago. Maybe they just didn't want to pay the $200, 000 compensation fee? The Nashua Cape Cobras on the other hand are delighted over the news.

The squad will be captain by Graeme Smith and will now include Herschelle Gibbs and JP Duminy.

The final squad of 15 will be announced on September 7.

Squad: Graeme Smith (capt), Derek Brand, Ryan Canning, Henry Davids, Jean-Paul Duminy, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Herschelle Gibbs, Claude Henderson, Rory Kleinveldt, Charl Langeveldt, Richard Levi, Karl Nieuwoudt, Justin Ontong, Vernon Philander, Francois Plaatjies, Andrew Puttick, Gurshwin Rabie, Lenert van Wyk, Stiaan van Zyl, Monde Zondeki.

Gibbs favors Deccan

Regarding the Champions T20 League....

Herschelle Gibbs has picked the Deccan Chargers over his domestic team, the Cape Cobras. Looks like Biff & JP will be the only lonely Cobras. Not really, other key players include Langeveldt, Ontong, Zondeki & Henderson.

But there is a bright side. The Cape Cobras will be compensated. "There is a provision in the tournament participation agreement wherein a team has to be compensated $200,000 if a player doesn't represent the home side in the Champions League," Andre Odendaal, the Cape Cobras CEO, said.

The Diamond Eagles will be the other team representing South Africa, curiously Dillon du Preez plays for them as well as Bangalore. Will he make a move as well? Other Saffas who will be playing in the league are AB for The Delhi and Roelof, Boucher & Kallis for Bangalore.

In other news... CSA has cleared Wayne Parnell to play the semi & final games for Kent.

Parnell started off 2/8 with his first 2 overs against Durham. Helping Kent defend a low total during the quater-final. The two finalists qualify as England’s representatives in the Champions’ League tournament to be played in India in October.

"This is great news for the club," said Graham Ford, Kent's director of cricket. "We are delighted to be able to bring Wayne back because he made such a big impact in our quarter-final win over Durham. I would like to thank Mickey Arthur, and the South Africa board, for allowing him to return. I'm sure that he will play a key role at finals day."

Recovering from yesterday's match

Farewell Delhi.

I went all the way to the Jacaranda city to watch the 1st semi-final. The favourites of course Delhi Daredevils. Mind you, the Deccan Chargers has never beat them.

Gilchrist played brilliantly. At the end of the day the Deccan Chargers deserved to win lets face it. AB you sucked big time. What the hell was going on with Dirk Nannes?

Whats the irony? Down the road from Supersport Park is the Bull-ring, Loftus Versfeld. The Deccan Chargers's mascot is a bull. This must be an good omen.
