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

benkenstein the man!

cape town's bowlers got lazy and let things get away from them.

btw if durban did win the grand final, they probably scored 220+ on that poor pitch and then their awesome bowling attack cleaned up liverpool for 180 odd.

Wow! Liverpool were excellent there.

Defending 203 isn't a joke though they had Swann. Congrats Haarithan for managing the team extremely well. This league was enjoyable really. Well done Dipak :clap
 
Yep. Look at the wickets Swanny picked. [Sachin, Morgan, Sarwan (who looked to take Durban home) & Benkenstein)
Game was in balance till Doeschate removed Philander. A good game for a finale i suppose
----------------------------------------
I enjoyed a lot running this league. But the enjoyment would have been more had my PC been alright and matches would have flown. I wanted to do something special for the finale but I couldn't do because of the exams. I would love to run the CL again if I am asked to.
 
Swann - you are a legend! Steyn had us on the backfoot at halftime, but Swann and RtD reduced them to 100/5, and later chipped in at regular intervals to never ever give them a sniffer. Last but not the least, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! :D

WPL VI - GPL VII - EPL I - ICC Test Championship - CL VI.
Yea, 5 trophies in the space of the last 4 months, all of them coming from the most recently concluded seasons of the respective leagues. :D

Wow! That was a bowlers' day out! Steyn and Swann were fantastic picking up 4 wickets a piece for their teams. Hard luck for Durban to have lost after restricting their opposition to a just around 200.
 
At least a Champion team won, it wouldn't of looked too good imo if Durban won, considering they didn't even win the AfPL. :p
 
You must start supporting Liverpool in soccer now, that is, if at all you're into it any sooner. :D

Ha! That could be taken for me supporting Liverpool FC. I'm not a huge fan of soccer. Besides I only know two players from Liverpool (Gerrard and Suarez).
 
flippin swann, its always him. :mad

our batting just failed against ten doeschate & swann, although great stuff from liverpool who took the title of durban.
 
Bump!

Champions League 7

NZPL - Wellington Wolves (Sartaj)
EPL - Nottingham Outlaws (Sartaj)
ZPL - Mountaineers (Muhaiminul)
SLPL - Ruhuna Rhinos (Zohaib)
APL - Sydney Stallions (Callum)
CPL - Antigua & Barbuda (Callum)

Six teams as of now. Have I missed out on any other PL? Willing to host if given the opportunity. :)
