Super aero Tyron Henderson turned the English T20 finals day on its head with two fantastic innings and some great bowling. Cricinfo said it best in the description below:
The Lethal Weapon Talk about springing a surprise. And dressing him in pink - the
horrible kind that has not been seen on a cricket field since the glory
days of West Indies in World Series Cricket. Although Middlesex were
chasing only 139 in the Twenty20 Cup semi-final,
the pitch was a tired one and getting slower by the minute. Step
forward Tyron Henderson, the Kolpak from South Africa, with a career
first-class average of 15.80, and no centuries, who hadn't batted at
No. 3 all season. No sooner had he taken guard than the sixes began to
fly here, there, everywhere. Henderson scored 59 off 21 deliveries to
take Middlesex into the final,
a thriller in which he scored 43 off 33 and bowled two crucial yorkers
to prevent Kent getting three runs off the last two balls. "We think
long and hard when to deploy Tyron," Middlesex captain Ed Joyce said
later, as if talking of a rocket-launcher.
