Thanks Yudi.
Good to see someone commenting, who's not actually an owner. ;)
 
Thanks. Good game man, bad luck. My batsmen fired for me and it proved too much for your guys to chase.

I better do a little bit of a speech.

Firstly I want to say that even though I only started half way through, i've had a lot of fun doing this and can't wait until the next one so I can try to defend the trophy.

Thanks to all the other teams, they were all good sports about it and there were some real good/close games. Especially to Hawkes Bay and nz0003 who came runner up.

A huge thanks to CG123 for putting all the time and effort into running this. He did an outstanding job, was very quick posting everything and sending notifications. Also thanks for him for offering me the opportunity of taking over the Canterbury side. It's members like him and stuff like this that makes PlanetCricket worth visiting regularly.

Very proud of my team, was a bit iffy at the start about some of my NZ players but most of them chipped in very well. Flynn was one of my surprise stars. The bowlers were all very experienced - Arnel, Thompson and Harris and did a great job.

As far as the stars went, when you can't fit Bravo or Malinga in your A side you know you have some great international talent. Tendulkar was the star with the bat, his consistency at the top of the order is a huge reason why I did so well. He was backed up superbly by my Captain Dhoni and Pietersen was also fantastic. I elevated him in the last final and i'm glad I did. I should have had him at number 3 the whole time, but even at 4 he was pivotal in a lot of wins. Bracken was exceptional with the ball, the tournament's best bowler. Bowled at great economy and got top/middle order wickets.

Can't wait til next time. I call this beginner's luck haha.
 
Amazing!!!
so,the cannons have done it again :eek:
Without Stephen Fleming this time.
Great :hpraise:hpraise:hpraise

Thoroughly enjoyed this season.
Looking forward to the next one.:banana2:banana2:banana2
 
Yes BCVS you enjoyed this season by being a part and i enjoyed it without.. Just quality of matches where awesome.

I was a part of this but not active due to some reason and was shown the way out:facepalm


Best Of Luck For Season 3
 
Thanks for all the positive comments, more news about season three will be coming out later tonight. ;)

Sadly because this is New Zealand cricket, the maximum I want to keep the teams at is eight.

I assure you people, as teams become available, I will give them out to people who post the occasional comment here, even though they are not currently a manager.

ATM the owner waiting list, stands as follows:

* nakul
* Yudi
* rahulkhush

If any of the current owners are unavailable to participate in season three, please flick me a VM or post something in the thread ASAP, or it'll be assumed that you are all staying on.

I'll say it once again, it's the mangers of the teams that make a great league.
The more active you guys are are, the more I feel like doing this.

Thanks, and good luck to all the teams for season three!!! :)

All of the players listed above, will no longer be part of your season three squad. They have all explicitly asked that they don't want to return to their season two teams, because of their lack of game time.

Season Three Important Information

Please now post any player's you would like to get rid of, from your season two squad. There is no maximum/minimum on the amount of players you have to release, and also please post if you don't want to release any.

* Keep in mind, your final season three squad will have 18 players in it, not 15 like in season two.
* Also remember you squad must have at least two wicket-keepers, including one full-time one.
* Another very important point is, make sure you have a good balance of batsmen (part-time bowlers), bowlers (pace and spin), and all-rounders (pace and spin). The two most well balanced season two squads, were Hawke's Bay and Manawatu, so look at their squads further down on the first page to see what I mean.
* I'm still undecided if I'll allow four or five international player in the playing XI's, so fell free to still try and sway me either way on that. This should not effect how many players you release, but I'll notify you guys on this before the draft.
* After that there will be a small draft, filling all the remaining places in the teams.
* That will be followed by a transfer window, that I'm still undecided if I'll allow vCash or not.
* Your season two team stats are right at the bottom of the first page, so make sure you check them out.
