Caribbean Premier League Season 4 - Trading Window open

Ryder scored some crucial runs for them, which has left the match as evenly poised as you can get.

Lawson, Best and Vettori were all outstanding with the ball, but Collingwood and Smith really struggled.

My team's batting heavy with four international batsmen, so hopefully one of them can play out of their skin here to get us home.
 
Going to need Steyn to make a few early inroads if we're going to win this. Ryder really took us to a decent total but I fear it may not be enough.

fairytale finish for the pirates there, collingwood played a knock of old while smith bashed the ball around. Grenada must be disappointed though they lost a game which should've been there, just couldn't finish the job off.
 
Congrats to A&B for a victorius season! And congrats to Aussie Team, who finished yet another successful season.

I am ready manage a side out here. Just VM me if you need a manager.

Damn right. We should've won, could've won, but did everything except win. Well done Callum. Great match :thumbs

Great job AT, another great season. Not sure if I'll be back for season 4. Will let you know later on.
 
Incredible stuff from Collingwood and Smith, I thought we were down and out at 97 for 5!

It feels great to finally hold up the trophy, considering we were one of the best teams in season one, and easily the best team last season except the final. :D

Great work AT with another successful season.

Arcapita and West Indies and WICB has agreed a new sponsorship deal of Cricket County. Worth $1.5 million to the WICB over the three-year, the new deal will see the Arcapita taking over from its affinity , and the competition will be entitled the Arcapita 50-over Cup. Following three very successful seasons in the tournament, the company now wants its main public to be able to benefit from the awareness-raising opportunities. "We are delighted that Arcapita has decided to extend the sponsorship for another three seasons." - Dr. Julian R. Hunte

It's good to see Collingwood taking home the best batsman award, none of my other players were nominated though.
 
Lee did bowl pretty well this season, but for a team full of superstars we just couldn't click.
 
With the vast gap of ranking players, you need to release some of your players. You must at least release four domestic and at least three overseas or you can go as long as you want to do. Make sure, If you release more players, you get into the draft list early. You all can PM me the players you want to release.
