Trinbago Knight Riders 138 for 2 (Ramdin 52*, McCullum 43*, Louis 1-25) beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots 137 for 6 (Simmons 60*, Bravo 4-13, Narine 1-9) by eight wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsDwayne Bravo ensured the Champion dance phenomenon made its way through south Florida on Sunday afternoon, taking four wickets to set up a resounding eight-wicket win for Trinbago Knight Riders over St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in Lauderhill. The Knight Riders captain bowled a stifling spell early on, striking twice in his first over, and finished with figures of 4-0-13-4 to restrict Patriots to 137 for 6, a total chased down with three overs to spare.Bravo removed Evin Lewis at gully and yorked Faf du Plessis in the fourth over, before returning at the end to bowl Shamarh Brooks and take a skier off his own bowling to get Devon Thomas and not allow Patriots to put up a stiff target.Kieran Powell got Patriots off to an aggressive start, making 23 off 17 balls with an array of classy shots over the off side but Bravo made inroads at the opposite end to pull Knight Riders back in the Powerplay. Anton Devcich, who opened with spin opposite Bravo, then took an athletic one-handed return catch from a blitzing Powell drive to make it 25 for 3 in the fifth over and from there Patriots struggled to rebuild.Sunil Narine kept the pressure on, getting Jonathan Carter stumped with the batsman dragging his foot fractionally out of the crease missing a slog, in a wicket-maiden 12th. Narine conceded only nine runs in his four overs but could not remove Lendl Simmons, who finished unbeaten on 60 but received little support.Hashim Amla fell cheaply at the start of the chase but fellow opener William Perkins put on 58 for the second wicket with Denesh Ramdin before falling at the end of the eighth over. Brendon McCullums horrid run in this seasons CPL showed signs of turning around as he struck three sixes in his unbeaten 43 off 28 balls, including a clean strike over the hill on the north side of the ground. Ramdin top-scored with 52 not out and hit the winning single through cover. Knight Riders now await St Lucia Zouks in a playoff eliminator on August 4 in St Kitts.

Klitschkos management company says the bout will be the Ukrainian fighters 25th world championship fight.

Barcelonas entertaining victory ensured the defending Spanish champions retained their share of the league lead with Atletico Madrid two rounds ahead of their meeting in the capital. Real Madrid needed a late goal by substitute Jese Rodriguez to earn a 3-2 victory at Valencia to stay in third place and three points behind its title rivals. Graeme Cremer does not tend to attract much attention, but there is a story about Zimbabwes captain that provides some insight into his character.He had been rested for a warm-up match against West Indies in Sharjah in March ahead of the World T20 but after Neville Madziva injured a finger while fielding, Cremer had no problem stepping in. He took a good catch on the boundary and then insisted on batting when Zimbabwe collapsed. Thats Graeme - always wanting to improve his game, Kenyon Ziehl, who was there as Zimbabwes selection convenor, said.Cremer took on a short ball from Dwayne Bravo and fractured his left forearm. The X-rays showed numerous splinters, but he wanted to put the arm in a cast and get on the plane to India for the World T20, Ziehl said. He was even willing to sign an indemnity form. In the end we had to make a call based on his health, because the medical advice was that one of the shards of bone could have got into his nervous system or his blood stream.Such determination has not been been evident in Zimbabwes cricket of late. As a team they often deserve sympathy for the conditions they are expected to operate in, but at the same time there is also the feeling that they are all too happy to fall back on those excuses - at least in their own minds - when things invariably get tough in the middle.Since taking over as captain in June, Cremer has shown - through actions rather than words - that he is not one to utilise the get-out clause. As a result he has often been the difference between heavy defeat and abject humiliation.Cremer began his first Test as captain - against New Zealand in July - having not played the format in over three years. He could have easily hidden himself but he bowled 53 out of 166.5 overs and contributed 33 runs as well, occupying the crease for three hours and helping Sean Williams drag Zimbabwe up from 17 for 4 in the second innings.In Harare against Sri Lanka, Cremer had bowled 42 overs, most of them during the toughest phases of the innings, for four hard-earned wickets. Then, when Zimbabwe were 139 for 6, trailing by 398 runs with only four wickets in hand, Cremer responded with an innings few thought possible of a batsman averaging 10.75 in Test cricket.It began innocently enough, with him holding an end up as Peter Moor counterattacked, hitting two clean sixes down the ground. I think we bat quite well together because he plays some big shots and keeps the scoreboard ticking, and I know that I can block out a maiden if I neeed to and just get off strike, Cremer said.ddddddddddddThe irony is that while he saves Zimbabwe from humiliation, Cremer often leaves the batsmen that preceded him red in the face. Theres nothing flash about a player who often batted last in his school teams - he has an elegant forward push that brought seven of his 10 fours through cover, but otherwise he remains compact, picks up the length well and, crucially, doesnt do anything stupid. By the evening, Moor had fallen for 79 but Cremer was still there, pinching singles with the tail to get a maiden Test century, before celebrating in a manner that suggested he was also pinching himself. Its very special - I hadnt got fifty before in Test cricket and I dont even have a five-for yet, he said. When I got to 75, I started thinking, Theres a chance here. Then I thought I might run out of partners. It was an awesome feeling to get that one run to get to a hundred.Cremers influence appears to be rubbing off on some of the newer members of his side, notably Moor and seamer Donald Tiripano. Moors attitude has been evident since the ODI series against India in June. When a journalist commiserated with him over a marginal lbw decision, he brushed the comment off and instead took responsibility for his actions. I should have hit it, he said.That no-excuses approach has been drilled into Zimbabwe since Heath Streak, who also scored his Test century as a No. 8 and captain, was appointed as head coach.We spoke about that as soon as Streaky came in, said Cremer. We can carry on whining about things that happen to us and we just keep going backwards, or we try and turn it around and be a lot more positive as a unit, and show what we can do out there. Whatever happens then is out of our control. Theres a good positive attitude in the changing room and its good to see for a change.The Zimbabwe side that Streak was a part of was widely respected not because they won very match, but for an attitude that helped them punch above their weight. When Hamilton Masakadza was axed as captain earlier this year, with Zimbabwe at a particularly low ebb, one wondered what kind of leader might serve them best, especially given few available options. By embodying the sort of grit that has so often been lacking, Cremer has answered the question in his own quiet style - and notched an unlikely Test hundred while he was at it. ' ' '
