Thus, another memorable season of 'A' Championships, nay, 'A' World Cup culminated in a huge success. Sri Lanka A rode on Kandamby and others to seize the crown, while Indians and South Africans put up applaudable efforts. (Albeit, the senior world cup was exactly the opposite, India broke the shackles after 28 years, while Sri Lanka emerged as runners-up.)
I hope the tournament was a source of relish and elation for all managers and audience, and most importantly, the players. Will see you next season, when the battle continues in the longer format of the game - the unlimited overs format. Until then, adieu.

[Haarithan]

Magnificent as Shastri would say !

 

[Prats]

Great ceremony, as it is always. I enjoyed this season.

 

[Near]

Great Ceremony...I enjoyed my time here...hope Bangladesh is included in the next season and I can manage them

 

[AkshayS]

Great presentation, atleast we got 2 awards. But am not convinced by the batting position of Pujara and Tiwary in the 'A' World Cup XI.

 

[riz7khan12]

lol too many awards but cricket south africa did walk away with quite a few of them so its not too bad...

btw i think rudolph and malan should swap around in the batting order if ever the team is going to be in action.

 

[venkniralac]

a team for me pl i am active pl a team for me

 

[Varun]

This isn't going to run for a while. I'm busy running my own mafia game.

 

[Varun]

Coming soon.

Batsmen vs bowlers - the battle of reputation!
