disappointing batting effort there but their quicks did really well.

Poor Pitch

Absolutely against this, no way am I settling for 2 grade 1s, i think if anything, we should be allowed more G2 players, so I'm against that. I'm also against such a big reshuffle, why do we need one, it wasn't that long since the last one, how do we have any chance of building our squad over numerous seasons if you keep making us redraft our teams
What I meant was two grade one's in the squad, not in the playing XI. :p

As the manager of the league from which Tokyo qualified: Awesome game for us there. Viru and Dillu were awesome with the bat and ensured a steady start and Tiwary ended things with a bang. Bolwing was awesome with Southee, Russel picking up wickets and Swann didn't allow the tail to wag. Steve Smith was the standout with the ball though, his four wickets ensured a big win. :)

All right. I have decided to allow each team to keep seven players They can keep less players if the want to. PM me the seven retained players ASAP. :)
 
that wasn't a bad effort at all 213 was just too tough a target for manchester to chase down in the end. makes things harder for me because i wasn't looking to retain smith at the end of the season but now i might have to reconsider.

As the manager of the league from which Tokyo qualified: Yeah, the series is ours. :clap

Great game there. Paine and Viru gave us a blistering start and the middle order aid the platform for the lower-middle order to blast off. Tiway and Mathews were letdown but Steve Smith (who gets excused for being expensive with the ball) just ripped off their part-times to give us a decent score. They did well with the bat and they did the same as we did i.e. ripping the weaker bowlers but still our frontline bowlers did just enough :)
 
great series victory, and we managed it without swann!

the batting effort was outstanding while the bowling effort wasn't too bad.
 
Season Eight officially ends. :)

Congratulations to Tokyo Thunder and Riz for winning the season and the LMS-GPL friendly and also to the other teams to give their best shot

Team stats over all the seasons

Well I dont like that tbh, that only four teams have a winning record and some teams are the bottom with poor records. Anyways well done Tokyo for ruling this chart as well and congrats to Antarctica too. Congrats to Melbourne for amassing the most wins so far. :)
 
Nope. Certainly not an easy job to do after eight seasons. :p Thankfully, I started my Hall of Fame work after five seasons. :p
