Varun is now the full-time manager of Bay of Plenty, and AkshayS is now the full-time manager of Hawke's Bay.
 
Wow, a comprehensive win to start things off. Winning the toss could be important this season.

Not really, as even if you win the toss there's no guarantees that your captain will choose to bat. :p

The same thing has happened in previous seasons, but I got it pretty much perfect last season (I think it was exactly 50 - 50), but after that first round it looks like I'm back to square one.
 
We may possibly be done in by the fact that our two biggest local stars are in terrible form in RL (At least not as bad as Taylor though :p).
 
Varun is now the full-time manager of Bay of Plenty

Cheers!

Great win there, Zaheer's three wickets came at the right time. And Gambhir fiery innings ensured that we keep the required run-rate under control.
Weird innings from Sangakkara though.
 
Getting ***** in the first season (for me) of leagues is becoming common though it's just the start of this season. I improve only as the time passes by.
Just like Indian cricket team, SLOW STARTER.:p
 
that was extremely dissapointing, we shouldn't have lost that badly. i've got so many options to play around with though so hopefully we can pick ourselves up after this.
 
I can see plenty of runs been scored by Clarke. :P But really Waikato have strong batting line-up. There certainly aren?t any weak sides.
 
Well a clinical performance to say the least. The bowlers were economical and took wickets at regular intervals. Had a tough start, but the Guptill and Vincent held us.

I really don't get how that works, I did the ratings exactly the same as last season, yet this season I get a team ending up on 260/2 chasing 337.
Sorry, I'm as confused as you guys are.
