Post Line-ups Europa Cup V | Final - And the winner is (for real this time)...

We had a bad start to our chase losing important wicket of Porterfield but then things went all in our favor. Cameron White took the charge and later Collingwood also played a commanding innings. Credits to Colin Smith as well as he helped Colly to bring that run-rate down.

We now need just 45 runs from last 13 overs which is definitely procurable. Cork and Haq can bat in good order. They need to keep themselves cool and play the calm game. Also, we have a bowling AR Drummond down there who can bat well. This should be our match. :)

There may be a slight delay here due to a dog running onto the field. He seems to be enjoying himself out there and won't be leaving that easily!
Play shall resume once the problem is cleared.

Trolololololol, why do you have to torture us :p. Seems like Edinburgh are in the driving seat as far as run rate is concerned, but they only have 4 wickets in hand of which Clontarf are capable of skittling out as the two are both new at the crease. Seems firmly in the balance, can Haq and Cork hang on?

Well done boys! I was too sure of Haq and Cork doing that job so that wasn't much of a surprise. That's the advantage of having deep batting lineup. We screwed the E/R of almost all of the bowlers later. :lol

Manoj Tiwary's spell was a gift to us, really. :p

Our team is all smiles with that win. Proud of the mates! That's my 5th league win. Enjoyed the season a lot, Varun.
 
The league I enjoyed the most. Innovation at presentation and a manager as good as VC. It was just a perfect one! And we'll see you next time Edinburgh! ;)
 
Congratulations VC and Prats . :cheers:thumbs:clap I love this league .
