Joe+Root+Australia+v+England+Game+2+AOSCfHpcAKBl.jpg


Sydney's batting lineup lived up to it's reputation with a big total of 331 despite a rare failure from Virat Kohli. Joe Root cashed in on his promotion to No 3 with a sublime 112 off just 98 balls to finally break his century drought in the 2017/18 season, while Chris Lynn and Callum Ferguson scored 70 apiece. It was an off color performance from Melbourne's bowling attack for whom Chris Tremain's expensive spell of 2/70 proved to be the best figures of the day.

Nathan Coulter-Nile kept it superbly tight in the final over conceding just 4 runs and claiming the crucial wicket of Kane Williamson off the fourth delivery with a well disguised slower ball. Melbourne fell only 5 runs short in the end, thus bringing an end to one of their best runs in the league's 7-season history. Sydney were through to the final to face Adelaide for the title.

Sydney Roosters won by 5 runs
 
Man of the match: Joe Root (Sydney Roosters)


@CerealKiller @OdinCC_r @Rebel2k17 @The Deadman
 
Wow, what a match! Thank goodness Lynn and Ferguson played so well and Root was top class with that crucial hundred. The pitch was same during the course of the match so I must say our bowlers did well to just restrict them below us and here we come Adelaide! Hopefully we do it, for the fans, for all of us. Sydney Roosters have a legacy, we need to live upto it.

Explanation on pitch types

Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.
Evenly balanced - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines.
Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.
Green - A lot of movement on offer, which makes it ideal for bowlers capable of swinging the ball. Quite regular to find in most European countries.
Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way.
Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.
 
We are going with the same XI. I have full confidence in this lineup, we can do it! Come on boys, one final game, one final victory!

It was Rashid Khan who provided the much needed breakthrough for Adelaide as he has done so often this season. Watson departed for a well played 43 after putting on 109 for the 1st wicket alongside Lynn. You couldn't ask for a better start in a final.

Sydney were no doubt relieved to see Rashid finish his spell with 3 for 51 off his 10 overs. His figures were somewhat dented by Ben Stokes towards the end where the latter struck him for three consecutive fours.

Stokes and Coulter-Nile both lost their wickets trying to hit out. James Pattinson bowled a very tight final over during which he conceded only 2 runs, which saw Sydney finish on 274/8 off their 50 overs. A good effort after being reduced to 134/5 at one stage. This left Adelaide with 275 to chase in order to lift the ELA trophy for the very first time.

Adelaide Crows need 275 to win off 50 overs.

@Aislabie @Rebel2k17 @The Deadman
 
Well when Root, Kohli and Dhoni make a total of 4 runs between them and you still get to 274, it has to be a great effort from the other batters. Both Lynn and Stokes finally showing their true ability with the bat and scoring when we needed them the most! We lost 5 wickets for 25 runs in that horrible collapse but to come back from there and get 274 runs on the board in the big final is a commendable job by our batters! Those 20 runs by Coulter-Nile are going to be the difference here, I feel. We have the bowling to do this, come on guys, go for the victory!

Sydney were off to a very good start courtesy of Chris Lynn. Adelaide's pacers appeared to be lacking in rhythm, giving the batsmen some absolute freebies during the first ten.

It was Rashid Khan who provided the much needed breakthrough for Adelaide as he has done so often this season. Watson departed for a well played 43 after putting on 109 for the 1st wicket alongside Lynn. You couldn't ask for a better start in a final.

Stokes and Coulter-Nile both lost their wickets trying to hit out. James Pattinson bowled a very tight final over during which he conceded only 2 runs, which saw Sydney finish on 274/8 off their 50 overs. A good effort after being reduced to 134/5 at one stage. This left Adelaide with 275 to chase in order to lift the ELA trophy for the very first time.

Shakib Al Hasan brought up his fifty off just 35 balls. This after having earlier dented Sydney's lineup considerably with the ball, there seemed to be little he could do wrong in this match.

After having added 145 runs in just 19.5 overs, the pair were finally separated by Kane Richardson. It was hardly a relief at this stage with Adelaide needing only 77 runs for victory with 5 wickets in hand and batting all the way down to No 11.

The fate of the match kept swinging like a pendulum as Bailey holed out in the deep to Nathan Coulter-Nile off Ben Stokes, who celebrated his third wicket of the innings. A stupid, stupid thing to do at this stage with the match so delicately poised. It's over to Adelaide's plucky tailenders now to see the job through.

Despite doing that initially, Rashid Khan couldn't fight his instincts to go over the top once again. And boy did it turn out to be a costly error of judgement at this stage. Richardson finished a rather expensive spell with 4 wickets to his name as Adelaide were down to their last man, albeit one who averaged almost 50 with the bat for Nottinghamshire in the 2017 season.

The Sydney Roosters celebrated their second title victory in as many seasons, matching a feat accomplished only by the legendary West Coast Fever side between Seasons I and II. It was their third title victory overall in the league, making them the most successful franchise in it's 7-season history. And they did it all without regular skipper Steve Smith, who was forced to watch from the sidelines as the ever reliable MS Dhoni led them to victory in his absence. They return to the CL once again, this time even stronger due to the presence of Ben Stokes in their lineup.

This was the closest the Adelaide Crows had ever come to winning the title. Having dominated the round robin with 7 victories and just 2 defeats from 10 matches, it all ended in heartbreak for them due to a run out. Sport can be very cruel indeed.

Ben Stokes was declared Player of the Match for his all-round efforts which included a defiant 75 off 79 balls to help Sydney recover from 134/5 to post 274. He later claimed 3 for 50 off 10 overs with the ball, showing why he was one of the world's best all-rounders despite enduring a rather lean season with the ball by his standards. He fought off stiff competition from Shakib Al Hasan, who had set the match up nicely in Adelaide's favor with 2 for 36 off 10 overs followed by 72 off just 57 balls with the bat.

AB de Villiers of Melbourne Storm was declared Player of the Tournament for scoring 595 runs at an awe-inspiring average of 74.38 from 11 matches. It was just one run more than Virat Kohli of the Sydney Roosters who scored 594 runs at 54.00 from 12 matches with 3 centuries to his name, but recorded a duck in the final. That was that for Season VII.

@Aislabie @Rebel2k17 @The Deadman
 
Hurraaayyyyyy!!!!!! This is a dream come true, we were always in the game courtesy of picking up regular wickets. Kane was fantastic and I just can't thank Stokesy enough! What. A. Player. It feels amazing to have won this thing and I would like to thank the owner @The Deadman for giving me managerial duties and trusting me with this solid team. It was tough after we lost Smithy just beforw the playoffs but MSD is such a reliable leader. This season was a complete team effort. Thanks a ton to @VC the slogger for running one of the best leagues I have ever been a part of, this one! Sydney Rocks!

Was great fun to be in this league!
 
WyX4OdJ.png


It's been more than five years and not once in that time did I ever see myself returning to manage this league for another season, until this week anyway. So here it is finally - the 8th season of Elite League: Australia (ELA), where we look to cover a brand new era in Australian and international cricket in the league that once featured the likes of Ricky Ponting, Sachin Tendulkar, Jacques Kallis, Brett Lee etc and produced more CL-winning teams than any other in PC leagues history. Now, with a massive changing of the guard since last season, it's time for the likes of Rachin Ravindra, Shubman Gill, Cameron Green to carry the torch forward in this decade-old competition.


This was where we left off last season:

Adelaide Crows - @Aislabie
Hobart Tigers - @Yash. & @Perfect Square
Melbourne Storm - @CerealKiller & @CremerCurrans
Queensland Firebirds - ??
Sydney Roosters - @Umair7 & @Gaurav_7
West Coast Fever - @Na Maloom Afraad & @Ohm

Those wishing to continue, please know that there will be a re-draft this time around, although you're allowed to retain a maximum of 6 players (no more than 2 overseas) from your previous season squads. But beware, the more you retain the later you start in the actual draft, which might cause you to miss out on form players. I am also open to new signups in case some of the old managers aren't able to continue, and definitely need one for Queensland Firebirds. Now, if y'all excuse me I got an early morning flight to catch and just a couple of hours to sleep.
