Round 6 - Chennai Champions vs. Toronto Tanks @ Champions Arena (21/11/2009)

[ZoraxDoom]

Two big-hitting sides who have failed to fire so far clash in this exciting encounter. Both teams have only managed one win in 5 games, Chennai clearly struggling due to having cut their budget in half and losing some key players, whereas last season's champions seem to be burdened by the expectations of them. By virtue of Net Run Rate, Chennai sit 2 places above the last-placed Toronto, but 2 points can change everything. Will the Tanks finally kick into high gear, or will the Champions start showing us what they're made of? Stay tuned to find out.

Lineups in by 4 PM GMT (9:30 PM IST)

C'mon boys. Gee up!

 

[Karachi Xpress]

Lets get this win boys. GO CC

 

[Insomniac]

Unchanged?

It can't get any worse from here.

 

[naresh091]

Its a rare sight to see a side performing as bad as us,even after our horrid show so far.Lets win this one guys.

 

[Ollie_H]

I guess it's an even rarer site to see us performing badly then, is there anyway we can win?!?!?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Looks like CC might not get a lineup or their pitch type in on time.

If they aren't in in like 2 hours, I'll extend the deadline by another hour (On the account that this thread was started late).

If still no lineup is in by then, then they will play a reversed lineup with no Nats.

[ZoraxDoom]

Alright.

I'm postponing the deadline for this till 5PM GMT. I might end up simming this game if one of Shalin/Shantanu/Amiya can't do it then.

 

[Ollie_H]

but they posted their team?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I delayed it cause Naresh said Cricketman might come and change it, but he's removed that part, so I guess we'll take that as their final lineup.

So one of the simmers shall sim this in like 30 minutes.

 

[Ollie_H]

yeh, looks as if he did edit that part out. Please can you let us win one?

 

[ZoraxDoom]

I can guarantee anything, but I can tweak things in your favour in the price is right...


Note: I'm kidding. Please don't get all worked up about this.

 

[Ollie_H]

the other teams seemed to have paid the correct price for TT's downfall so far!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Um...yea, that's what happened. They paid us. We weren't doing it for free just for the laughs or anything...

Note: Again, just kidding. They actually didn't pay us.


Oh, and I think the simmers might be unable to sim this game. If it isn't up in 30 minutes, I'll sim it.
