Keep following Cricbuzz for fascinating cricket updates from all around the globe. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
Lloyd Pope | Player of the Match: How good Shorty been this tournament. His performances speaks for itself, gets good runs every game and bowls at the top. It happened pretty quickly, he gave a call and asked me whether I would play. I am familiar with the boys and it has been great fun with the boys. (On whether he will fancy facing his former team) That will be fun, it doesn’t really matter. I hope to play well to be honest.
