OMG! Biggy,you beauty!!!
What a comprehensive victory for us!!!
We thrashed them not only with superior batting and bowling but Ian Chappell says that we were better in the field too. :D
This is why we're actually here.
Its to win the prestigious APL championship and its not about the money :p
Now,we're heading to Melbourne and we would have dearly hoped that we get another excellent pitch there too because that's where we have won the majority of our matches but,we have to face our worst nightmare on a poor pitch now.
The boys are scared.
Brendon McCullum wants to go back to NZ.
The camp is a bit unsettled at the moment because of what has happened in the past.

bcvstheworld added 3 Minutes and 57 Seconds later...

If they perform.
Anyways I would have appreciated your team too and then say they would beat me, but I dont lie.;)
We are gonna nail you bad and you better be prepared

Were you talking to us mate? ;)

You are actually heading to Newcastle now. So McCullum may decide to be released to a NZ team? To be closer to home? Big news.

You may also post your line up for the Semi-Final now.
 
No,McCullum actually wanted to get his recent score of 28 tattooed on his biceps and return in time for the semi-final.
He's pretty happy that we showed faith in him by picking him ahead of Sangakkara and also handing over the captaincy to him in an elimination match.

He really wants to stay with us.
He just doesn't like poor pitches.
He's our skipper BTW.:)

You dropped the almighty McCullum!?
 
Obviously Disappointed at not making the semis. But we never really had a championship winning squad. The bowlers were our weak link throughout the tournament, with Voges and Raina being the batsmen of our team. Their demands for next season has gone up but i assure you they are staying here.:spy. Hopes bowled well enough and Casson had a good start early in the season but his form dropped when he needed him most. Zaheer, Harmison and Patel should be trying to find a new club, their performances have been below-par.

Anyways satisfied with reaching into the last six but need to get some quality bowlers for next season. I am for the Giants in their KO game and think that it is going to be an exciting ending to APL 2! :)

And yes bcv, I said that but you waited till after the game to have a go at me? Seems like you didnt have enough faith in your own squad. I am supporting the Giants for the remainder of the season and someone please knock out the Dragons :p
