It was a good game, that warm up for us. Viru's century and later on Kartik and other bowlers defending the target is a positive sign. Hopefully we will start the main comp in this manner too. Collingwood was instrumental in winning us the IPL back then so hopefully he will be a nice addition here as well in the absence of Kallis.

Wish we could begin our campaign with a win but hey — it was a second string side!

It was a nail biting finish. I found it quite mindboggling to give the last over to Marlon when Ryan who had bowled brilliantly had an over left in his spell but all is well that ends well. It was one of those days where Marlon could do no wrong.

For the next match, I would like to open with Jason Mohammad and bring in Sarwan to strengthen the middle order. I would also expect something special from Jadeja who was #1 bowler and IIRC #1/#2 allrounder when we won the CL. Him and Bailey who scored over 1000 ODI runs when we won CPL need to step up for us.

Disappointing loss. We were in control throughout the game but last few overs costed us. We bowled well and batting was good too but lost wickets on crucial positions.

Mitchell Johnson is unavailable for both Basnahira & Toronto in this round. Afraid you're gonna have to select someone else.
 
We've done pretty well. Was thinking of drafting Tendo but won't, go same.

I'd love to go unchanged, but as Mitchell Johnson is ineligible, I'll bring in Stuart Broad for him.
 
Sorry for the long wait guys. I had a whole lot going on in life for the past month or so. Will get to posting the pending Round 1 matches in a little while.
YEAH !!!!
