We have our two finalists now. ;)

Grand Finale

Hamilton Heroes vs Nairobi Nomads @ Hamilton Cricket Club, Hamilton - Normal

Statistics of those two finalists are updated along with Records. I'll update the other team's statistics later. Sehwag is currently highest run-scorer and Morne Morkel has highest number of wickets.

Taking Finale lineups in thread now. ;)
 
Nairobi was a really strong team. My international batsman just didn't do enough again
 
Hahaha always was in the cards, wasn't it? We having to sneak through to the semis after shambolic performances in the league stages, and now just one win away from glory! Terrific team effort overall, the batsmen were at their very best amassing 290 on a normal pitch, which always has proved to be more than enough. Zaheer was incredibly stupid in his bowling though. Seriously is he leading the attack from the front with such bowling?! Better comes good in the final!

Unchanged for the final.
 
Aww.. that was a disappointing performance. No one clicked with the bat other than MS. Just cant blame the bowlers as we just didn't pose a good total! We did well to get into the semis. Hope we go one step ahead next time around.

I've been following your team since I managed it for a few games. The prime reason for the loss is you have not fielded your best batsman Hashim Amla in the important games. Look at his average on the index page!

He was injured in the final round.
 
Man!! Haarithan has taken this team to another level. A lucky escape for qualification in semis and now we are in Finals. Happy. Cngrats Haarithan you have managed the team well.

I hope you can manage this team for another season before I written for third season of this
