Champions League XX - It's time to give the people what they need, not what they want...

[Aravind.]

Sad to see Dhaka gets eliminated,but they showed some real fighting attitude in this season.
Nice win for Spitfires,Sanga played a great innings,but others need to step up especially openers the duo of dhawan & hafeez.

Quarter-Final line-ups please!

Everything's updated!

LINE-UP RULES
The line-up rules are pretty simple, a team can have a maximum of four overseas/associate players. The playing Xi must consist of a wicket keeper, obviously, and at least five players who can bowl. But, I'd recommend You to have six, so a player like Hashim Amla doesn't get selected by the simulator to bowl the last couple of overs. Which can actually cost You the match.

Another superb victory. The team is performing really well. Glad we've made it to the quarter finals. Going with the same line-up for the quarter finals .

 

[TSPrathik]

Best of Luck for all the Teams Qualified for Quarter Finals

 

[Sulaiman7]

Ay great to see that we're qualified for the quarter-finals. I'm very pleased with the bowling in the previous match. Everyone bowled with a kept economy and that's what matters when your aggressive bowlers aren't doing well. Sad, Ajmal couldn't add anything to help the team but we all know his class and how much of a vital leader he could be in important do-or-die matches. Giving him another chance, although, I've reliable 'n world class option like Jadeja in hand. I'm very impressed by how responsibility Josh Davey bowled in the last match and if you ask me, he's a type of player who doesn't lose his form after one match, just. He's been a perfect wonderkid for the team and am glad my pick payed off good. I'm expecting some high aggression from Junaid in the next match as his nature suggests. To be very honest, I'm not too impressed with the batting; my batters are some "future legends". heh, Hamilton and Davies have been good opening partners, but I think, after so many matches and experience with this team together, they'll definitely perform no less than the big three in my team.

The only change I want is a swap between the middle batters. Do as follows:

3. Kohli
4. Ab De Villiers
5. Pietersen

Giving ABD some more time on pitch to settle and strike. He's been very poor so far and I hope he doesn't disappoint me in the match i need him not too. Pietersen's a free hit, he can bat anywhere with the strike rate he has and we all know how great of a player he is in t20s and how good he is with tailenders.

Ah! i really hope we the triumph the next match.

 

[VC the slogger]

Given the state Canadian cricket is in, it's a great achievement just to make it to the quarters. Anything from here on is a bonus.

If this turns out to be our last match, I believe Davison deserves one last hurrah at the top of the order.

That's the winning shot! It took almost 31 overs for Toronto to chase a target of 137 down, but at least they didn't lose more than half of their side while chasing it. Abbottabad would be completely disappointed with themselves

Ah, we're one mighty bowling unit, aren't we?

Having two international class pacers in the XI at the expense of an all-rounder really did the trick for us on this pitch. Well done, Broad and Johnson! Also pretty damn good of Davison to get their two most unpredictable and potentially game changing scalps.

Good to see a Canadian team doing well

Well, Our Champions league dream's over. I really believed that Abbotabad was going to be the first Pakistani team to win the Champions League.We started off the tournament so well. Players were superb with both the bat and the ball. Apparently, things didn't work out quite well for us this time. It was a bad day at the office for us and that's about it. Congratulations to Toronto and good luck to the rest of the teams . Not sure if Abbotabad Falcons or Sri Lanka of 2015 world cup.
