Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :D
The dream showdown IS going to happen,let's say kinda 4 seasons in the making(?)
This is an insipred WWO unit you are dealing with ever since Jimmy Franklin took over at an odd time when we were holding on by the skin of our nails,so credit to him for turning things around with exemplary personal performances too.

We were pretty pleased to chase and thought we did very well to restrict them to around 250...Southee took some hiding but came back well with a gem of a final over.Elliott and Shakib bowled well in tandem too but once again,Mr.Cricket Michael MFing (:p) Hussey was the show-stealer!!!
Ryder and Franklin were sensational too.
:cheers
 
So I now need Sartaj's line-up for the grand final (normal pitch).

288 on a normal wicket is a winning total especially when you have the likes of Zaheer, Mathews, Mendis and consistent McCullum in your bowling ranks. Frauenstein can be dangerous too and he showed it in last season of Champions League.
 
Couldn't have asked for a better total on this wicket. Hussey's wicket early on will pretty much win us the title.

On our batting, Trott showed his class yet again in a final, well supported by Ponting from the other end, before Nicol and Broom paired together for a sensational cameo at the death. Zaheer and Mendis will be key to defending our title.

When's the second innings coming Callum?

Congratulations to the Hawke's Bay Magpies, NZPL Season Eleven Champions!

must be incredibly dissapointing for wellington to loose the game with only 3 wickets lost.
 
Same MOTM and same skipper lifting the trophy in successive years. Glory glory Hawke's Bay! :D Disappointed with the bowlers, but Zaheer stood up tall and contained their batsman which was always going to be key. So glad to be in the Champions League again for a third consecutive time, hopefully HBM can go one step further this time. Overall, I'll just say the most consistent team of the season took home the trophy. Take nothing away from Sartaj though, incredible management and purchases during the auction eventually leading to the best possible final.

Thanks for yet another amazing season Callum, enjoyed this from start to finish.

The result percentage counts ties as half a win.

After looking at that it's strange how Auckland are still yet to win a title, considering Otago, Waikato, and Bay of Plenty all have.
