Day 4 at the Champions’ League saw two fairly one-sided games.

First up the very impressive NSW Blues took on a Sussex Sharks side that was missing Luke Wright (England duty?) and Michael Yardy (sick) and thrashed them. The Blues score of 130/2 looked a little below par, but from the minute Brett Lee dismissed stand-in Sussex captain Ed Joyce first ball the Blues bowlers were dominant. Like the Cobras, the Blues have topped their group with two wins.

Delhi faced possible elimination in their match against Wayamba, but their big guns came through when they were needed. 66 from Sehwag and 61 from Karthik saw them to an impressive 170 and despite a brave innings by Jayawardene the Sri Lankans were never up with the run rate. Wayamba now have to beat the impressive Bushrangers to stand any chance of progressing.

Tomorrow’s games see Somerset take on Trinidad & Tobago, and Bangalore playing an eliminator against Otago – losers go home.
