Champions League Twenty20 2009

[ntini77]

The T20 Champions League kicks off on Thursday

It should be interesting to see how the English county sides do against other successful T20 teams from around the globe.

My moneys on IPL side Deccan Chargers, the likes of Gilchrist, Symonds, Fidel, Sharma & Styris make up a strong squad

The English teams will struggle in this. I tend to think that English fans don't realise that the standard of domestic cricket is so much lower than it is in other countries. IPL teams will obviously dominate, and Aussie and Saffa teams won't do too badly either. I'd be astonished if an English team made the semi-final, but then again, I was astonished that England got out of the group stages in the Champions Trophy.
