Die Macht » before Shamsi struck again to

Luke Brattan has been rewarded for his dazzling start to the A-League season with a return to Socceroos reckoning.On Tuesday, he was putting Melbourne Victory to the sword with his second man-of-the-match derby performance in as many weeks.On Wednesday, the Melbourne City midfielder was named in an extended 30-man squad for next months World Cup qualifier against Thailand by Ange Postecoglou.Brattan has never wanted for talent.The 26-year-old grew to become a key member of Brisbane Roars midfield during their championship-winning era.At City, hes picked up where he left off, and is a key reason while John van t Schips side will play off in the FFA Cup final next month, and is being spoken about as A-League championship contenders.But his return to the national team squad for the first time in 12 months speaks to another of his qualities; tenacity.The England-born and Queensland-raised midfielder signed for Manchester City last year but didnt make a first team start for the Premier League giants, nor loan club Bolton Wanderers in a taxing season.Some saw it as a wasted year, but Brattan said if he had the chance to do it all over again, he would.I think Ive matured living away from my family, doing it tough over there, he said.I was frustrated at not playing but Ive learned a lot about myself on and off the field.I wasnt thinking about (the Socceroos) at all, I was more worried about just playing football.At City, hes been handed a role as a modified eight in van t Schips unorthodox attacking-oriented formation.Two goals to date for the long-time defensive midfielder shows Brattan would offer a lot for Postecoglou, should he make the cut.I played six for most of my career. Now playing higher up, theres a bit more freedom but its hard work - a lot more running, pressing and all that, he said.If I make the (Socceroos) squad, thats great. I cant wait to get back in the mix.I want to be there very, very badly.Im enjoying my football now, Im playing with a smile on my face and loving every minute of it. Wil Lutz Jersey .

Guyana Amazon Warriors 109 for 6 (Guptill 43, Lynn 34, Badree 2-18) beat St Kitts & Nevis Patriots 108 for 8 (Simmons 50, Zampa 3-18) by four wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsGuyana Amazon Warriors seized home advantage with a packed spin bowling line-up to restrict St Kitts & Nevis Patriots to 108 for 8, before chasing it down comfortably for a four-wicket win. Patriots had trouble coping with the turn on a slow pitch and made the chase look more difficult with a late flurry of wickets, but Amazon Warriors cruised home with 22 balls to spare. The pitch came under heavy criticism from the television broadcast commentators at the Providence Stadium, with a low and slow track producing likewise action from the Patriots line-up. The visitors opted to bat but three specialist spinners in the Amazon Warriors attack - Steven Jacobs, Adam Zampa and Veerasammy Permaul - exploited the favorable conditions superbly, none more so than offspinner Jacobs, who took the new ball and finished with 1 for 7 in four overs.Arriving in Guyana after a pair of blistering half-centuries in far friendlier batting conditions at Warner Park in St Kitts, Evin Lewis laboured through an 18-ball innings before a desperate shuffle across his stumps to flick Jacobs resulted in Lewis being trapped in front for 4 in the fourth over.Lewis opening partner Lendl Simmons exemplified the Patriots overall struggle with the conditions, lasting until the final over to score 50 off 60 balls before he was run-out by Martin Guptill. In between, Zampa wiped out the middle order, including the key scalp of captain Faf du Plessis for just 1.Guptill was the only batsman to look unencumbered by the nature of the track, scoring at nearly two runs a ball as he struck three fours and foour sixes on his way to 43 off 22 balls and the Man-of-the-Match honours.dddddddddddd Following the second-over departure of Dwayne Smith, Guptill and Chris Lynn produced a 60-run second-wicket stand across six overs before Guptill perished to left-arm wristspinner Tabraiz Shamsi after an attempted drive went awry.Amazon Warriors reached the halfway stage needing just 24 runs to win with eight wickets in hand before a brief stumble was sparked by a leg-side stumping to remove Jason Mohammed off the bowling of Samuel Badree. It was the first of three wickets in the space of nine deliveries for just three runs as Badree had Christopher Barnwell lbw for a second-ball duck before Shamsi struck again to claim Anthony Bramble for 1.Lynn held firm though and remained until Amazon Warriors were within one shot of clinching the match when he was bowled for 34 by JJ Smuts, before Jacobs and Sohail Tanvir calmly knocked off the final six runs. While Amazon Warriors cemented their hold on top of the table, Patriots woeful start continued, having now lost four of their first five games.Patriots left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie was fined 75% of his match fees after the game for breaching Level 2 of the CPL Code of Conduct. At the end of the 16th over, he threw a ball back at batsman Steven Jacobs, thereby in violation of Article 2.2.7 which relates to Throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during a CPL Match.
