Cricket World TV Latest

A cricket video for Cricket World TV about the latest cricket news as we look back at the latest game in the Indian Premier League - IPL 2012 - IPL 5 - which saw Chennai Super Kings beat Mumbai Indians to stay in the final. Mahendra Singh Dhoni - helicoptor shot, sixes and all, led his side with an unbeaten half-century while Michael Hussey, Subramaniam Badrinath and Dwayne Bravo all chipped in with the bat and after Sachin Tendulkar was run out, Mumbais' innings fell away and they closed on 149 for nine in reply to 187 for five to lose by 38 runs.

Sunil Narine bowling was always going to be a threat to Delhi and so it proved as he took two for 24 - the same figures recorded by Jacques Kallis as his bowling proved just as handy as his batting.

County Cricket News

The eighth round of the LV= County Championship got underway in earnest today and was played out under hazy blue skies as summer finally put in appearance in 2012.
There was only one match in the LV= County Championship today, with Somerset kicking off their match against Durham at Taunton at midday following an overnight party to welcome the Olympic torch.
Following on, with his team 360 runs behind on first innings, Paul Horton batted for a day and a half to deny Championship leaders Warwickshire a win at Edgbaston. His marathon knock of 137 not out from 362 balls took Lancashire to safety and ended, or at least brought a temporary halt to, a dismal run of form that sees the defending champions lie eighth in Division One this year.
There were wins for the Unicorns, Lancashire, Middlesex, Sussex, Surrey, Yorkshire and Hampshire in today's Clydesdale Bank 40 action.
