Perth Pirates need 325 runs to win Last Men Standing Season VII
 
Yep, Jo'burg to win.

How about an actual cricket venue for next season's final instead of a soccer stadium?
 
Will think about it. You do realize that I'm making an effort to popularize the sport worldwide by hosting the final on non-cricketing nations? :spy
 
We have lost it.

Well, enjoyed the season really guys. Congrats Mohit for yet another huge victory.

Our bowlers received thrashing there. Clarke's foolish decision to bowl lost the game for us. :facepalm

I'm gonna continue being the manager for next season.

*gets frustrated and runs out of the thread*
 
Thats an excellent score, but with the start we got I expected us to get 350 and seal the match in 1st innings itself, we have to bowl really well to restrict Perth batsmen, they have a pretty good batting lineup.
 
JC's batters were just too awesome with the bat. Looks like they have the game in their hands. But I'd like to see a historic run chase here!

Nice presentation there, Haari. KIU.

Johannesburg Classics won by 29 runs
  
Man of the match: Hashim Amla


Johannesburg Classics are the champions of Last Men Standing Season VII​
 
That was a brilliant match. Very good run chase but I think Clarke's decision to bowl first on a flat wicket was one of the prime reasons why his team lost.
 
Johannesburg deserved it tbh. Congrats Mohit! And congrats to Haari for another successful season! KIU!
 
Dejected. But felt fine for what we've performed with the bat.

What an occasion for Yousuf to score a hundred. He was at his best really. Neil KcKenzie was also great. In between, in some overs we scored too low and so felt lost this.

Anyways, enjoyed the season as I did before. Congrats Mohit! :)
