Last Man Standing X | LMS - GPL friendly series | End of league

Well, tbh that's not TOO good bowling effort. It was pretty ordinary one since they scored 233 which is good for normal pitch. Sammy, Ashwin, Shakib and Tremlett were impressive. It's always good to get early wickets and especially getting Amla early was special and conducive.

I don't think chase will be EASY. We'll get to it but in a hard manner.

Where's Watto. :eek: :( :p
 
What's my win percentage as a manager? (Since I don't make the top ten teams in terms of wins, as I've only be here for a season and a half)
 
The top run scorer of the season (Sangakkara) should probably make the top team as well...
 
What's my win percentage as a manager? (Since I don't make the top ten teams in terms of wins, as I've only be here for a season and a half)

14 games, 8 wins, 6 losses, 3 bonus points, 57.14 win% (fourth highest for any manager ATM), Best finish - Runner-up (S9).

Thinking of including the present ten managers into that existing top 10 list. :)

Edit: Done.

Feeling so great after lifting the trophy and seeing big smiles on the faces of the great Australians - Clarke and Ponting. So after too much hard work for about 7 seasons we've finally registered our name in winner's list. Just wonderful feeling atm.

Talking about the run-chase. It was just fabulous. Clarke and Ponting put on the best that they could and won the game for us. Shakib has hit winning runs for several times this season. Great work guys! ;)

Australian dominance in LMS reaches a new level with this. :D

My first-ever league win on Planet Cricket. Great! :)
