The severe thrashing given by Taylor and du Plessis gave Tokyo
a target of 357 and with that it gave Sehwag many problems


Scorecard
inning1.gif


So thats half time in Zurich. Taylor and Plessis have given a huge
target for Tokyo. Chasing 350+ in a final is very very tough. Can
Viru's men chase the huge target or will they fall behind. The answer
is hidden in the second innings of the match, so stay tuned

Ok, so the players have had their lunch and they are on the field. Tokyo's opening batsmen Sehwag and Dilshan are on their way. Vass has the ball. So lets get underway. Here we go then

Okay , that sums up yet another disappointing season for our boys . Its just degraded as the seasons progressed . The redraft after S3 just killed our team balance .

---------------------------------------------

S1 - Winners
S2 - Runners up
S3 - Runners up
S4 - 5th
S5 - 3rd
S6 - 5th
 
Yay, champions!

That was a pretty poor bowling effort, but luckily our batsmen had already done enough. Mills was very expensive, but his four wickets were crucial in the end. Also Vaas, Johnson, and Oram were all extremely impressive on such a good batting pitch.

What carnage by Taylor though, what a knock!

Btw, my logo's still spelt wrong... :p
 
Yeah, the other parts been wrong for the three season I've been apart of this. :spy

In Season 1 and 2 had only 6 and 8 teams. Now it's 10 so you have to work harder.
It's spelt right on the banner the penguin is holding
I asked KBC to fix it long ago. :p
Great work with the scorecards.
I'm really liking the scorecards and the match summary. Nice.
How did you do that final scorecard part ?? It was the masterpiece among all
Great stuff Dipak!
Great work Dipak as well.
Cheers guys. Glad that you liked it. :)

Special thanks to User2010 for allowing me to use the cards with slight editing

Presentation will be up tomorrow
 
Not our best season...but we can't get down on spirits...we gotta get up and get a better position next season
Btw, Great Presentation, Dipak :thumbs
Congrats to Antartica and Callum :clap
