What did u ask ? For what should I response?

You could leave some sort of comment on your team's performance, so i could get some sort of reward for my work. Totally your choice though.

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Yes, yes, yes! Another fantastic victory. We should be at the top of the table.

Well am just disappointed with my players so far.. So no comments.. But you are doing a good job..

Bowlers have been fantastic.Batting needs some changes.

 

[Sami Kumar]

Trueman leaked a lot of runs on a green track. Rest of the bowlers did well. Some of our batsmen have been underperforming. 247 was a good total on a green pitch, but we really should've chased it down. Need to make some changes to the line-up.

Graeme Pollock showed why he has the highest average in Test cricket after The Don by hitting an unbeaten century from no.3. No one else crossed 50, although Mike Procter and Freddie Flintoff made some crucial contributions to wrap up Jo'burg's first win in the tournament. Curtly Ambrose's good spell went in vain.

Johannesburg Knights won by 5 wickets
MoM : Graeme Pollock

Just slightly expensive bowling spells from Richie Benaud and Sanath Jayasuria cost us the match, but Jayasuria did perform with the bat so He must be forgiven. It was a bad day for Sehwag, and I hope these type of days don't come anymore for Sehwag. His performance can be crucial in the outcome of the match.

I accidentally put Hobbs' score near Hammond's name and viceversa.

Shane Warne & Greame Pollock showed their class and Andrew Flintoff his destruction towards the end. Pleased with the first win of the tournament.
