Congratulations To All the Winners!

Now I know thier might be a debate regarding "if he was the right person to win the award and all" but I shall make it clear that all these awards were clearly my own opinon and I did them to the best of my abilities.

The vCash that the owners won, will be updated tomorrow and you shall get your prizes as well. Since we had more than one manager of certain teams, vCash will be distributed accordingly.

Had a great season with all of you guys and before I forget the next season shall start next month as I have exams starting in a week. All previous owners will have the option on whether to retain their national teams or not. Plus Thier might be some tinkering in the format, as well as the ICC World T20 2010 to be held too We might see the inclusion of Bangladesh and Ireland as well.

Also I know some of you guys want teams but as soon as a spot comes up I will be sure to mention it to the ones that want. Till then If you havent stated it yet, please mention which team you would like and If you would like to manage any other team other than your first choice.

Thanks!​

[Varun]

No South African players here.... that's a big blow to the pride of the Board.

 

[BKB1991]

No South African players here.... that's a big blow to the pride of the Board.

The main reason was the previous manager's poor performance.
Kallis barely missed out on the ICC Player of the Year award, and Smith was pretty strong except that he got injured at one stage making him lose a few games. He was solid but not as good as KP or Sehwag

 

[Waqaspk456]

great stuff.....

 

[Dare]

Good stuff Bilal. Glad to see a West Indian in the awards. Bravo should have won the test performance

 

[CG123]

Yay!!!
Go all the New Zealanders, especially Vettori.
This is one of the few leagues where I have seen him do well outside my own, which is credit to you for your ratings.
McIntosh was solid all season, so great work by him.
Also great to see New Zealand are the most represented in the ICC ODI Team of the Year.
Great work Bilal, and I'm looking forward to next season.

 

[harrisb]

I'm still happy to take a team, if one comes available ill take it otherwise ill have ireland.

 

[blazerix]

Yay, congratulations to Virender Sehwag and Pragyan Ojha! Way to go team!

 

[Sartaj]

Great to see my boys bag most of the awards (3)!
Who can ever forget Andrew Flintoff's 6-12 in Australia earlier this year!
Its a different thing that we eventually lost that match
