Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Varun]

:laugh:laugh:laugh We have broke the shackles and now ... into the finals.

 

[blazerix]

Man, as much as I hate to say it after that match, good work with the league Bilal.

 

[Sartaj]

Oh man!
What a match!
That SOB Graeme Swann spins us to victory once again. :hpraise
We did very well to dismiss them for a low total once again in the second innings despite failing to get a big lead in the first.
At the end of they day (or the 4th day should i rather say?),our batsmen were good enough to see us through but the credit rightfully goes to Graeme Swann.

 

[BKB1991]

Sorry for the delay guys, Exams have been going on and the WPL auction is taking the majority of my time on the net. Hopefully I can do the game by Monday!

 

[Sartaj]

We certainly won't mind the delay as we've been working overtime for the last few weeks and a lucky break here and there for the players will be much appreciated.

 

[surendar]

One of the outstanding efforts in league sections is what I can sense. Keep it up.

 

[harrisb]

Any chance that I could take a team such as Ireland after the Test Championship has finished.

 

[Varun]

Hope the match gets posted soon... South Africa will be crushing England.

Thanks Dude, Its always great to hear from you!

Any chance that I could take a team such as Ireland after the Test Championship has finished.

You probably will, but its gonna happen next season, and unfortunately next season isnt gonna start soon

 

[Sartaj]

What a marathon innings from Swann and great support from Matt Prior to help us recover from 96/6.
That partnership for 128 was the turning point but still,i feel that SA are firmly in control of this match.
We have gone in with only 4 specialist bowlers this time and all of them need to fire big time.
Graeme Swann has a key role to play with the ball.

 

[CG123]

What a partnership between Swann and Prior!!!
Steyn and Kallis were great with the ball for South Africa.

Yes,the bowlers have delivered indeed!
The game is evenly poised at the end of day-2.
What a match this is turning out to be!
Need to score 400 + in the second innings.
Graeme Swann bowled very well with the three seamers playing a good supporting role.
