[Aravind.]

Great presentation raghu.

 

[Dipak]

If you are slightly more organized, you might turn out to be a solid contributor in the leagues section. I love the effort you put in your leagues. KIU!

 

[khaleel]

Nice presentation Raghu. Small suggestion, it would be more helpful if you post the bowling scorecard in a separate code. People would not like to scroll down inside the code just to see the bowling stats. Other than that, it looks really good.

 

[sathishsky]

Good bowling by our team . I am worried about top batting order collapse

 

[Till Valhalla]

Happy with the team performance till now.
