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

[BlitzBerg]

I guess I'd need a co-manager for the to-be-winner, Centurion Lions.

 

[Fenil]

Would die to be a Co with you.
Let's have a battle royale to decide who Co's with @Fenil

Don't die, I'd need you when we are lifting the trophy.

I think it's time we moved this along. I've waited more than a week for some of the older members to show up, but none of them apart from @BlitzBerg, @Fenil and @Sulaiman7 have done so yet. I reckon I'll just have to let other reliable managers from the leagues section who've declared interest in this thread take charge of their respective teams until they show up, if they show up at all.

Managers confirmed for the tournament

Basnahira Bears - @Fenil & @Jack Ryder
Bengaluru Bulls - @Gaurav (standing in for @mohit_dude10)
Centurion Lions - @BlitzBerg & @Umair2000
Durban Bulldogs - @Aravind. (standing in for @-D-S-B-)
Hobart Tigers - @PCA & @themusketeer
Jamaica Bandits - @Samuels & @Sulaiman7
Liverpool Lightning - @Ali. (standing in for @Haarithan)
Manchester CC - @Sodium (standing in for @riz7khan12 & @AkshayS)
Manicaland Bulls - @Aggz (standing in for @Dipak)
Sydney Stallions - @CerealKiller (standing in for @CG123)
Toronto Hurricanes - @The Author (standing in for @VC the slogger)
West Coast Fever - @Fenil & @RPHKR

Not all teams were allotted on a first-come first-serve basis. I've still tried to give most of you guys what you wanted. Those who've missed out, thanks for taking in interest in this thread anyway. I'll keep you in mind if any further such crisis arises.​

 

[Targaryen]

Let this thing get going. I'm on.

You have a team from South Africa. You know your team is going to choke.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Let's go the Bulls from Bengaluru!

 

[themusketeer]

Tigers to rule all of them.

 

[AliB]

Everything will be burned under the Lightning.

 

[Aravind.]

@VC the slogger how the players are going to be rated ?
Are they going to be rated on current form ?
Are they are going to be rated based upon their over all stat's ?

 

[Aislabie]

Let's get ready to roll.

The players ratings will depend on their overall calibre, and most importantly their real life performance during the season/year their teams won their respective CLs in. Stats are obviously taken into account as well. For eg, the Sachin Tendulkar of the Durban Bulldogs will have a much higher rating than the Sachin Tendulkar of WCF, as the former won the CL in December 2010 when he was arguably in the form of his life. The latter won the CL in August 2013, when he was on the verge of retirement and not as consistent as he was before.

The same applies for all the other players taking part in the tournament.

 

[Aravind.]

^ Hell yeah, thus our team looking great with great mixture of Overseas & Local talent.

Teams from South Africa have won 2 CL titles, we are definitely not choking here.

Yes but South Africa are known to choke against world beaters and with all the champion sides around you will want to get your approach right.

This Planet Cricket and South African teams have won more number of matches than any one & have won two CL titles, by beating world beaters.
