New South Wales win CLT20 Trophy

Australia, New South Wales, News, Trinidad & Tobago | October 23, 2009 at 1:57 pm

It was a thoroughly clinical and professional performance by the New South Wales Blues. In a contest between flair and professionalism, the latter came up trumps tonight. And it was all about one man, Brett Lee. He did the job with the bat, he got the first break through and if that was not enough, he was responsible to drive the final nail in the TT coffin when his catch ended Pollard’s stay in the crease. NSW rejoice but spare a thought for the most entertaining team of this tournament, Trinidad and Tobago.

Simon Katich is the captain of the All Star Team

Brett Lee: I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to Trinidad and Tobago for providing some excellent competition through the series. “Shukriya” to the crowd for their love and support. I just tried to stick around for a while when I came out to bat and then look for boundaries. We were looking at at least 140 to defend and we got more than that.

Brett Lee is the Man of the Series as well for performing on the big day

Keiron Pollard: Well played to New South Wales. I think, they were the better team tonight.
