Matches Posted ICC Knockout Cup 1998 | Sri Lanka crowned champions

I'm sorry, but there's no vacancy for this season. There's likely to be one for England and Scotland if the next season i.e Knockout Cup 2000 starts before Andrin Issac's ban is over. Those teams won't do you any good for this season, because they're already knocked out.

In this league, one basically has to take charge of a team that's available and post lineups when they're needed. Insightful post match comments on the performance of one's team and players are also appreciated. I take care of the squads, match simulation, updating statistics etc.

That's basically it, I guess.

Ok thanks.... If there is any vacancy or if you conduct any new tournament, Let me know.
 
Yeah, I don't think anything else was really on the cards, although it could have been far worse - if it hadn't been for that stand between Hedegaard and Hedegaard, we were getting bowled out for 20, simple as that. And that would have undermined the whole competition. Okay, so we got lumped. Ne'er mind, we still did better than England and that's what matters here.
 
Match against Denmark is super easy for us, but what coming next is real challenge... We love to reach final and win the cup, but for do that we need to beat in-form team South Africa... Let's hope Best...
 
An absolutely horrific way to end the tournament. Our batsmen, are just what they are. :face palm

After a bright start, the West Indies regressed considerably during the middle overs to end up at 163/7. All that was left was for Phil Simmons and Curtly Ambrose to delay the inevitable as long as they could.

Our middle order failed us... South Africa shows that, they only choke themself on worldcups other than they fine performers...
 
Excellent display by Sri Lanka, out-played one of the most feared team. now there comes another feared team in the final
