The last semi-final spot remains to be decided. Hop over to the other match where the toss happens in ten minutes. This is Abhishek Purohit signing off along with Sajan Nair. Cheers
Alfonso Thomas is the Man of the Match. Thomas: "Speechless really. Fantastic effort, after I saw Trego get out the way he did. We thought 155 was par for the ground and would have been good enough. We knew we would have to go well upfront which we did. When I had two overs left and Kirby had one left, I thought if we kept it good, we could make it. Hopefully we have picked up a few more fans along the way."
Johan Botha: "Kieswetter played well in the first six overs. We pulled them back after that but Kieswetter batted through and showed his international experience to set up a big score for them. We knew it was going to be tough to chase, it was playing slow. The rate got a bit out of hand in the end."
No one gave Somerset a chance, they worked their way through qualifying, and they have now made the semi-finals, They have handled spin, they have given it back with spin, with slower ones, with Peter Trego and RVDM.
What's more the Warrior's NRR has gone below RCB's so even the back door has shut, rather firmly
Stephen: "How come its choking when South African teams do it, but if its teams from England or India its bad luck or something." They needed 68 off 52 with nine wickets in hand, it happens a bit too regularly with them, that's why
RVDM: "We came in as underdogs and now we are in the last four. Captain asked me to bowl the last over, I am always happy to do it, I knew the Warriors would come at me in the middle overs, but I backed myself."

Craig: "Why don't South African teams appoint a coach that knows the heimlich maneuver?"
21 needed, RVDM has the ball
