Post Line-ups Champions League XX - Round 1 - It's time to give the people what they need, not what they want...

What a chase, especially from middle and lower order batsmen.
We are playing good as a unit and hope we can repeat the same performance in finals.

We are going same.
 
Best of luck to the finalists. Hope to see a cracker.
 
Didn't know about this . VC said that one manager has to manage a single team..that is the reason

Yup that's why we two managed only 1 team, but see the index you are still the co manager for Rams.

Rest of Pakistan Rams need 317 to win off 50 overs.
 
I am really impressed with the way we have batted.
Top order took responsibility which took us to pose a big total. Mathews played a blinder which helped us to go past 300.
With the kind of bowling we have, we should be able to defend this.

Getting the wickets of Kohli and AB early in their inngs is going to be key.
 
I know it's tough task, but i am confident with my fabulous batting order.
