Sorry for my inactivity, first day in ages I haven't come on.
Bond was great in the quarters, but batting fell apart in the semi-final.
3rd/4th place in one-day cricket is realistic to what we are in real life.
 
We WON!!! Yeahhhh :D

Wow, feels surreal to reach the Final of the ICC Twenty20 Knock-Out Cup. To take down India in the Quarters and South Africa in the semis was a testament to the fact that we've worked very hard to get where we have. :)

We've had a rough season. And I'd like to thank everyone whose helped us light it up. Special thanks to Bilal.

I hope we win this Twenty20 Cup. It'll be a great achievement for our boys, who've been eluded by the silverware and the fans, who have stuck to us through thick and thin. :)

Lets face it guys!
This chokers tag is just an excuse.
SL was the better team today and perhaps will be on most of the other days too.;)

My money is on Sri Lanka;)

Thank you Sartaj. You are our official mascot in the final. And I've invited Beta Jess as well. :D
 
Final To be played tomorrow, Waiting for Gazza's lineup and RDF, its an ODI competition not a T20 one :p
