New Zealand Premier League XIII

Phew!
At least we didn't lose again after posting 320+! :p
Franklin made the most of his batting promotion while Mahela's brute of an innings eventually proving to be the difference between the two teams.
Yousuf and AB were also very good,as was Guptill.
 
Great that Gambhir regained some of his form.
And once again, Styris drove us chivalrously with his 78 coming off from more than run a ball, and our New Zealand spinners were economical, which led us to the victory.
 
Well the bluff of going with no spinner eventually bit us with none of the pacers doing anything worthy. The fightback was good, Guptill was great and Dilshan supported us as well. The bowling was a shocker but I still think it was a one-off so I am not too disappointed.

colin de grandhomme you beauty!!! a perfect innings from him and bravo won us the game after the middle-order scare. Grant Elliot took a bit when he was bowling but other than that the bowlers were reasonably good to restrict the Magpies to 264 on a excellent pitch.
 
Was a rather slow innings from de Grandhomme in comparison to his usual S/R :p
 
@ AkshayS - You selected Darren Broom as one of you six bowlers, but since I only allow recognized bowlers to bowl, I changed Paul Collingwood to your sixth bowler.

No worries.

The batsmen there were just disappointing except the openers who did well on their part. Need to make some serious changes in lineup.
