Champions League XX - Tournament Records & Season Summary!

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. :)
