OD Match Thread Warm-up Match 1 - All Time OD XI vs Lannisters at Lord's | FULL MATCH POSTED

[Manish.]

Finally, vintage MS is back at the virtual leagues. Rudi goes for big .

 

[Gaurav_7]

Rudi did his best so that legends look like legends. We got to have something to chase, isn't it! We are gonna do this guys, time for the batters to step up to the task here. Bowlers have done a decent enough job, nothing much one can do when MS takes off like that.

 

[Till Valhalla]

Looks like the warmup tactics are working.

 

[RUDI]

MS Dhoni 1-0 RUDI nothing to be ashamed off. This is going to be a close match! Is The Real Modi the hero we need, or will VC Richards go into beast mode in the end? Let's do this!

 

[Neo 7]

Bella got Sachin OUT !

Anything to be said more ?

 

[Markkkkk]

Great to see me getting English legend Viv Richards, although I'm still a bit too expensive. How bowling attack just leaked a little too many, turns out our opposition ain't half bad. Need a big 50 overs if we want this to be close

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Dhoni at his best! Its not a difficult target and I am sure we will get chase this down easily!

 

[asprin]

This is good. It's better to face tough situations than "to have a walk in the park" during warmups. Will bode well for us irrespective of the outcome.

 

[VDQuint]

Still a target that can be chased by team like lannisters, hope you guys do well with bat . Also, don't be too lazy Rudi

[Sherlock Holmes]

It's MSD's knock which really made the difference

Tough luck Lannisters...

 

[Till Valhalla]

Some lapse in focus here and there will be corrected in time

 

[VDQuint]

I know the lannisters in league matches will be totally different from what we see now.

 

[Yash.]

Great batting there from Et Cetra. If only other batsmen had contributed much. Still a great performance! Good luck guys!

 

[Mijurkat]

This was a great practice match for us. We will come back strong in the main match. [HASHTAG]#HearUsRoar[/HASHTAG]
