In the inaugural Twenty20 Champions league starting from December 3, 2008 the top Twenty20 teams from all over the world are participating. Although, much attention has been paid to the two teams entering from the first season of IPL, two extremely talented teams from Australian domestic cricket will also feature in this earth shattering event.
Victoria Bushrangers representing the Australian state of Victoria is the current champion of the domestic Twenty20 competition in Australia. The history of cricket in Victoria is probably as old as the history of Australian cricket. Over the course of years this state has produced many all-time greats of cricket in Australia.
The Victorian Bushrangers have a magnificent track record in domestic Twenty20 competition as they have won all the three titles of the ‘KFC Twenty 20 Big Bash‘ with dropping only one game in doing so. As for the longer version they are way ahead of the rest of the lot with 26 Sheffield Shield titles and 4 One-day Competition titles as well.
Victoria Bushrangers have got many explosive cricketers that are simply built to play in this version of the game. Their coach is Greg Shipperd while their current skipper is hard hitting Australian all-rounder Cameron White who can also be useful with his leg breaks in the middle overs of the innings.
Australian middle-order batsman Brad Hodge is the vice captain of the team who also provides solidity to the batting department. Other players to keep an eye on are David Hussey, Chris Rogers, Aiden Blizzard, Shane Harwood and Peter Siddle who recently made his International debut against India in the third test match. The Victoria Bushrangers contain many players who have had exposure to International cricket and know of what it takes to perform on the big stage.
It is a widely accepted fact that the best standard of domestic cricket is in Australia and it shows whenever their National side shows up on grounds all over the world. With the Victorian Bushrangers being currently ranked in the top spot in the International Twenty 20 rankings just edging over the Sialkot Stallions, their side is sure to provide high quality entertainment to the cricket fans. While this excellent fielding side will also pose tough challenge to all the other top Twenty20 sides.
T20 Champions league Rocks!!!
