LVCC | Grand Finale | Day Five | Our Champions!

London won didnt they :p
 
What a nail-biter of a game! Terrific batting in the second innings and we set a formidable target for them to chase. It all comes down to our bowling now. Philander and Harris, being the top players they are, I hope will be able to clean up the remaining six.
 
It looks like Hall & Clarke are batting well, after we lost our top four. Plenty of work still to do tomorrow; we might need something special from Ambrose and the tail again. I'm nervous about what is going to happen. A very exciting final so far. :D

What a shame. The last three are capable of scoring the remaining runs, but that's what the pressure of a final can do. Which makes Hall's century even more impressive. What an exciting final!

Congratulations Varun. You managed your team very well. Ian Bell's form during the season was incredible, we were lucky to keep him quiet.

Also thanks Dipak for an excellent season, I really enjoyed being involved with it all. I'm very much looking forward to the OPL. I would also be happy to be manager of London again in the LVCC, when you get a chance to run it again. :)
 
Congratulations Varun! Great league, Dipak. :thumbs
 
What a win! So glad that we didn't allow for any close situation to occur and with an all round bowling effort cleaned them up 70 runs short! And finally we're the champions! :D It's amazing to see every player on the squad contribute positively to the team and Ian Bell was sensational. A season for the ages for him!

Thanks Dipak for running the league and I thoroughly enjoyed, from team building to the end of finals, becoming the champions. Keep it up! :)
 
A special mention to Michael Hogan for that 4-wicket haul in the last innings! Scalped wickets at regular intervals and never let partnerships sustain for long.
 
@Dipak Bro if there is any team left plz Let me know :)
