CONGRATULATIONS SOUTH AFRICA

[Prats]

Oh, wow! Oh, wow! Oh, wow! Oh, wow! What a match we had. Not much to say about batting since we had thrashing all the nations. All the top-order batsmen were just at their destructive best. But it wasn't at all easy for us to defend that. At one point of time, we had almost lost it but then our bowlers struck at the right time which gave us some hope and at-last we won.

We've destroyed the tag - Chokers! Well done team. And this league was absolutely amazing (as I won it)

My third league victory. Great feeling!

Where's Dipak?

 

[Dipak]

Whata great thriller! Well done SA. But England can go home with their head high. Thy fought and played really really well. They did a formidible job. SA finally not choking after making 350 would be the defining point of the series.

 

[Prithvi]

Do you people continue as managers, next coming is ICC World Test Championship, it will not be a KO, the semi finalists (of the just ended KO tournament) get to choose their opponents, and they will play a 3 match test series with the one they choose.

The one who wins that will be getting into play offs* (just like IPL) and there would be two final matches, one at either of the home nation.

Managers interested?


*standings after the bilateral tournaments will be dependent on the ICC KO Cup, if SA or the one facing SA qualify, they will be placed at 1.

 

[sivaprsd]

If there is a test tournament certainly interested to participate in it !!
