As expected our bowlers took a hammering on an excellent pitch, so we knew we were going to be chasing something big. It was down to the batsmen to step-up, and they did! Everyone other than Sehwag pretty much played their part perfectly. We got the start we were looking for, and despite three quick wickets we got the chase back under control. In the end it was always going to be close, but the fire power of Marsh got us over the line.

Thank you Dipak for my first league win in a while. :cheers :p

Season 3

Expansion: There is enough talent as I might consider adding two teams, I need the views of you managers though. I don't think it would be done this season, but I can give it a serious thought for season four, if there's one.

Format: I am thinking of a different format and a different style of presentation for the league for the third season. I'll unveil the details when I get going.

Sim: I am also planning of using Cricket Heroes as a sim this season, never a harm to try out new things, right? Also I will be testing the sim before I use it, but again I need your views.​

-X-

So this is the end if another season of the OPL. Hope all of you managers enjoyed, I did enjoy running this! Thanks for the season! All you managers are the best, you guys have supported me so much, without you guys this league is nothing! Also it has come to my mind that I have completed my 13th season in PC (9 GPL + 2CL + 2 OPL) I wonder if I am the first to do that, even if I am, all the credit goes to you guys.

I would love it if all of you guys continue, but if you are unfortunately not then please post here. But I really deeply wish that all of you continue. Till then I'd love if all of you would post some views regarding the league, suggest improvements to make it a better league for all of us and also if you have time, to draft out a season review for your team. Last season we had three excellent season reviews by Iri, Cal & Sartaj


Also the thread is damn un-updated because I rushed for the CL, so it will be fully updated soon!

I'm okay with the expansion and the simulator change but I'd like the format to stay 50 overs a side.
 
Congrats Callum! Thanks Dipak for a rigged wonderful season. And, it's fine with whatever changes you have proposed. But, let me tell you, CH is still pretty raw and player creation etc. is a huge task as compared to CS. You will also have to keep stats yourself as the custom tournaments still don't work the way we might need. Kurt has been fantastic though as he has been kind enough to help anyone and everyone. So, you might first want to ask him and then proceed. That said, there's going to be a surprise for you all (the managers of IPL) soon if the things go as planned as far as CH is concerned..
 
I'm going to drop out from managing Brisbane next season. Thanks Dipak for the effort you've put into these competitions though :thumbs

And as for the 13 seasons, I have:

1 - BetFred 30
1 - RBS Scottish Cup
2 - Canadian Premier League
5 - APL
1 - Champions' League
1 - Real IPL (hoping for quite a few seasons)

PLUS
1 - Unfinished World Cricket Challenge (stopped because I was getting about 4/16 lineups per round)
1 - Unfinished CPL (because a load of exams came up)

So I'm in my 11th season, plus two that failed. I salute your tally.
