Premier Cricket League? Season 6 ::: Introducing Lethal Lions

[Gaurav_7]

OMG! Just when I thought we had lost it after their first innings batting itself, Kumar Sangakkara had different plans altogether! What a match winning performance, absolutely amazing! A 100 first followed by a near run a ball 200, incredible stuff. Nice to get a win finally.

@Jack Ryder to post the line-up.

 

[Umair7]

We have a bye in this round.

What a play by our batter! Hashim Amla the rockstar truly rocked the stage, no words left for Dhawan, I'd say keep up the magnificent work Mahela.

Rocked us not the stage

 

[vaibhavtewatia]

This is unbelievable stuff from the opposition. But still, we weren't good enough to defend a 4th innings score of four hundred and fifity five

When our batsman fired, our bowlers failed. And this is eventually turning out to be a similar season of defeats. @Sartaj, still unlucky? :/

It is time that Shakib makes way for Daniel Vettori.

 

[Aggz]

Go same please.

 

[Till Valhalla]

Go same please.

Sorry was not there to post the line up on time.

 

[Sartaj]

@Sartaj, still unlucky? :/

Well, it's almost as if the team is cursed or something.

Alviro is expected to deliver in his home conditions and I hope Sanga and others keep up their form. Also, hopefully Saeed Ajmal delivers this time round as it is a must win game for us!

Take out that double century and it could have been anyone's game. Too bad nobody grabbed it by the jugular for us with the bat like AB did. Maybe if Bell had gone on to reach three figures.

 

[Aggz]

AB you beauty! What a thumping victory! What an amazing batting display by AB, just terrific. And what a buy Lyon has been, probably the most underrated player in the lot. Good contribution by Trott and McCullum as well. All in all, a great all-round performance.

We'll stick to the same XI.
