New Zealand Premier League XIII

Muahahahahh!
This is Pakistan-like this WC!! Needed both results to go our way and boy did we do that! Firstly special thanks to Callum to provide an outstanding lineuo for the Aces that just killed the Warriors. My startegy was to bowl our opposition out and it worked out in our favour. Then comes out AB and Sarwan who played two vital innings to take us through!
Tough situatuon for us there to win two games from two and its a rematch of last seasons final, but we back ourselves to perform when things are against us! Go Volts!!
Unfortunatelt Callum I cant give you the lineuop now, I have to run.

I only made one change from their last line-up...
 
I have 2 understandings for my teams effort in the last 2 games.

1) My team decided to piss me off by winning the last 2 games when they didn't mean a thing

or...

2) They decided to piss me off by performing when Callum set the lineup.

I'll go with 2. :D
 
Posted via Mobile Device hope you have understood ;)
 
I'm on my iPod at the moment so I'll post my lineup tomorrow morning if that's alright. And I'm guessing I lost by huge margin? I kinda expected it since I picked my team so that everyone got a decent run.

Yeah, just before I get home from school.

BAY OF PLEN' VIKINGS 319/3 50.0 overs
HAWKE'S BAY MAGPIES 234/5 50.0 overs

Bay of Plen' Vikings won by 85 runs

Man of the match: Ross Taylor

Ross Taylor pretty much ripped into you guys, smashing six sixes in his 128 off 114 balls.
Sehwag did manage 82 from 78 in your reply, which is a positive.
 
Annoying thing is that sehwag always performs after he has been dropped... None of my batsmen are consistent really.
 
What A Player Ross Taylor is...

Our Big Players Have averaged above 50 in this tournament which is the key to success.

Thank You BOP

The Magpies progress to the NZPL grand final.
The Volts final match will be the third place play-off
 
████! Rather disappointed with the loss but only one team were to go in the final. Best of luck to Chewie and his team. Rather disappointed we just folded with our batting even though we looked stronger with our batting on paper.
Also Callum I think there should be only one semi final with the winner going to the final. Otherwise the odds were stacked heavily against us.

There are meant to be. :p
The system rewards performance throughout the round robin.
 
Oh,terrible effort by the Volts :facepalm
Neither the batsmen nor the bowlers were professional enough.
Didn't expect this from the defending champions.
