Super Kings unit end their campaign in Style !
Mahendra Singh Dhoni said the Chennai Super Kings' eight-wicket win over the Eastern Cape Warriors in the final of the Champions League Twenty20 tournament was "a real emotional moment" for a team who might have been playing their last match together.
Looking ahead to a planned auction before the next Indian Premier League season, which could mean drastic changes to the teams, Dhoni paid tribute to his players, who clinched a double following their IPL triumph earlier this year.
Spin bowlers Ravichandran Ashwin and Muttiah Muralitharan set up the win as the Warriors were restricted to 128 for seven in 20 overs.
Chennai opening batsmen Mike Hussey and Murali Vijay put on 103 for the first wicket without needing to take any risks.
The result was never in any real doubt although there were only six balls to spare when Dhoni hit the winning runs.
The win earned Chennai a 2.5-million dollar jackpot while the Warriors took home 1.3-million dollars.
Jacobs powers Warriors to Finals !
Davy Jacobs led his Eastern Cape Warriors to the final of the Champions League Twenty20 tournament when they beat the South Australian Redbacks by 30 runs in Saturday's semi-final.
The Warriors will meet Indian Premier League champions Chennai Super Kings in the final at the Wanderers Stadium in
Jacobs (61) and Colin Ingram (46) staged a ferocious counter-attack after South Australian fast bowler Shaun Tait had South African Test batsman Ashwell Prince caught at first slip off the second ball of the match.
Finals live here on Sportsline ;
Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar on Wednesday created history by becoming the first cricketer to hit a double century in an ODI as Tendulkar was unstoppable right from the start and carried his bat through to score an unbeaten 200 off 147 balls hitting 25 fours and three sixes. En route to his double century, Tendulkar went past the previous best of After being run out cheaply in the first ODI in Jaipur, Tendulkar looked set for the big innings right from the start. His innings was studded with a dazzling array of his trademark boundaries, the wristy shots. He got to his 50 off only 37 balls with his ninth boundary and then hammered five more en route to his 46th ODI century, that came up in 90 deliveries. Tendulkar broke the previous highest score of 194 in ODIs off 140 deliveries and took his time in the final over to get to 200. Karthik and Dhoni provided able support around Tendulkar. Karthik smashed four fours and three sixes for his 85-ball 79. He fell after he mistimed a pull shot to Herschelle Gibbs. Yusuf Pathan then stepped on the accelerator with 36 off 23 balls, before Dhoni's onslaught. Dhoni was remarkable in his strokeplay and displayed some power hitting with his four sixes and seven fours. Only hope for the SouthAfricans was AB De Villiers who scored an unbeaten 114 Top 5 Highest Individual Scores The 2010 T20 World Cup will be held in the The 2010 tournament in the Groups For 2010 T20 World Cup Group A: Group B: Group C: Group D: Group Stage Schedule For 2010 T20 World Cup Friday 30 April Saturday 1 May Sunday 2 May Monday 3 May Tuesday 4 May Super Eights Schedule Thursday 6 May Friday 7 May Saturday 8 May Sunday 9 May Monday 10 May Tuesday 11 May Knockout Stage Schedule Thursday 13 May Friday 14 May Sunday 16 May Headingley has already been assigned one of the Tests with Lord's a potential venue for the second.

Real Robben will have a medical on Friday and Bayern chief Uli Hoeness hopes the Dutchman will be able to play against champions VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday.

Hoeness said: "He will make our team even more attractive." Robben earned a reputation at both Hoeness, Bayern's general manager, added: "He's one of the best attacking midfielders in "Our intention is to have Robben play on the right and Franck Ribery on the left. If it all goes perfectly and without any hitches, it would be theoretically possible for him to play on Saturday."

Lasith Malinga takes it all in Colombo …
Jesse Ryder, after a Man-of-the-Series role in the Twenty20s, was the first to go when he was trapped lbw in the second over by Thilan Thushara, returning after missing the Twenty20s. Seventeen deliveries later, at 5 for 1, Martin Guptill was caught behind the wicket as he drove off the back foot. In the same over Ross Taylor was adjudged lbw for 2 by Asoka de Silva, though he had reason to feel aggrieved. The score was 7 for 3.
Malinga is hardly the man you want to see take the ball when your top order has been blown away, and you need 198 from 38 overs with seven wickets in hand. With his first three overs, consisting of deliveries on all sorts of lengths, Malinga kept the batsmen tied down. The fourth was something out of a shooting gallery. Brendon McCullum had run the risk of being arrested for loitering as he squeezed 14 from 51 balls, dropped on 13 by Kumar Sangakkara, before Malinga rattled his stumps. Two deliveries later Malinga held back his length and drew an edge off Jacob Oram's bat to Sangakkara who held on excruciatingly close to the ground. Oram stood his ground before replays proved he was a goner. With his next ball, Malinga hurled down a corker that went right through Nathan McCullum.
Nearly 11 years after making his one-day debut, Thilan Samaraweera chose a crucial time to score his maiden century, and did so with the temperament and class that confirmed he has turned a corner in his stop-start career. Samaraweera, whose highest ODI score coming into this match was 38 not out, teamed up with Angelo Mathews and from the depths of 69 for 5 in the 26th over, averted a meek surrender with a 127-run association from 134 balls.
The pair combined exceptional running between the wickets with some fireworks to help Sri Lanka reach a total that looked remote when they began. New Zealand will still back themselves to chase this under lights, but going into the break, the momentum had definitely swung away.
Then Samaraweera - a late inclusion in the squad - and Mathews got together for the brightest phase of the innings. They almost immediately began to build some momentum, unfazed by the nature of the track and energetically hunting for scoring possibilities. A boundaryless streak, lasting 143 deliveries, was soon snapped. Mathews played his most fluent innings in recent memory. He timed the ball well from the start, getting off the mark with a straight drive off Vettori, and then placed the ball far more deftly than he had in the Twenty20s. Between overs 33 and 38 the pair added 35, running hard between the wickets and taking runs off Ian Butler, prompting Daniel Vettori to call back Tuffey. Samaraweera, who had reached his half-century off 78 balls, cleanly lofted and paddled boundaries to get the small crowd cheering. Sunday, September 6, 2009
Top Seeds elimate from US Open ….
---------------------------------
It was hard day in the office for the Top seeds in US Open .
John Isner defeated Andy Roddick, 7-6, 6-3, 3-6, 5-7, 7-6. It’s the biggest upset so far in the men’s draw. Roddick, the no. 5 seed and top American male, ends another Grand Slam with disappointment, albeit much earlier than most would’ve expected. Isner will advance to Round 4 of the 2009 US Open. Isner beat Roddick at his own game, tallying 38 aces and winning two tiebreaks to advance, marking the farthest he has ever lasted in a Grand Slam. 
Sharapova bows out !
Another big comeback win for Melanie Oudin.Oudin, two days after rallying against fourth seed Elena Dementieva, cemented her status as the women’s darling of the tournament by eliminating three-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova 3-6, 6-4, 7-5 in a jubilant Arthur Ashe stadium. The 17-year-old from Georgia eventually took advantage of Sharapova’s serving woes Saturday to reach the fourth round of a major for the second straight time, no minor achievement. “Getting to play Maria was an unbelievable experience for me,” said Oudin, whose upper left leg was still heavily taped. “She’s such a great competitor, a great player. I just had a blast playing there today. I proved to myself that I can compete with these top girls. And if I believe in myself and my game, then I can beat them.”
Blake Winner to face Federer in a round of 16 !
A bad day for American men got worse Saturday night when James Blake, twice a quarterfinalist at the US Open, lost to No. 14 Tommy Robredo 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4. John Isner’s upset over No. 5 Andy Roddick – along with losses by No. 22 Sam Querrey and qualifier Jesse Witten – gave the USA a 1-4 record on the day. For Blake, the loss to Robredo ends a frustrating summer in which a broken toe limited him to just one match during the Olympus US Open Series. He hit two aces and made just 45 percent of his first serves Saturday, while Robredo countered with 10 aces and a first serve percentage of 63. While Robredo and Blake competed on Arthur Ashe Stadium . It was another Drama in Louis Armstrong Stadium
After Sharapova it was Dinara Safina , a another Russian bowed out of US Open today . She was defeated by an youngster Petra Kvitova in a three-set thriller . Women’s No. 1 seed Dinara Safina was upset on Louis Armstrong Stadium by unseeded Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(5). Kvitova hit a backhand winner, service winner and forehand winner respectively to save three match points at 5-6 in the third set.
