There is a new feature in the league inspired by Biggy i.e. there will be a match between North XI (Teams: Essex, LA, Miami, NY & Tokyo) and South XI. (Teams: Melbourne, Antarctica, Auckland, Cape Chokers & Delhi) after every three rounds. The manager of the team lying highest in the point table of each hemisphere'll chose the XI
 
Regarding the format, can't we have an extra lifeline for the 1st & 2nd placed teams instead of the 3rd & 4th placed teams as in your format? :)
 
I think for the playoffs go:

Match 1 - 1 vs 2
Match 2 - 3 vs 6
Match 3 - 4 vs 5

Match 4 - [Winner 3 vs 6] vs [Winner 4 vs 5]

Match 5 - [Loser 1 vs 2] vs [Winner Match 4]

Match 6 - [Winner 1 vs 2] vs [Winner Match 5]

(Based on the A-League playoffs which have six teams)

This way there will be a lot of emphasize on the top two spots, which imo is good in a 10 team full round robin.
 
Ha that's exactly the format that I have been using for my league's playoffs for the last two seasons. :)
 
A few FA trades to better Choker's domestic strength while I find a new manager for them

Hales in for Valthaty
James Taylor in for Jacobs

Man of the Match

Wow! A great finish by us. Extremely good bowling at the end to seal a 17 run win for us.

The dismissal of Jimmy gave us a horrible and tense start. But, the other guys made up for it. Williamson, North and Kieswetter's performance extremely pleased us. And Oram gave some thrashing at the end. Perfect combination :thumbs

TBH, these were not 10% of my good players but they really did well.
