I Renew this fixture Mainly because, I want to Start new League called PlanetCricket Nation but as per rules, Rookie can't Run 2 league at same time... So i need to be finish this league quickly, so i cut-down double encounter and made it simple...
All Earlier Round Result Remain Same except one, Perth Panthers vs Manchester Lions... They both played 2 matches against each other and win 1-1, so i re sim the match of round 2 using there round 2 line-up... Sydney Soldiers & Mumbai Army also played 2 matches against each other, but Sydney Wins both matches... So i Stick with there Round 1 Match as official match of this season...
I apologize to all members for my inconvenience and irresponsible behavior and i hope you all support me and gave me the same kind of support as earlier... So Rush this League to End...
