Drafts Zimbabwe Premier League 21 - Drafts Begin

Damn. We had them 5 down cheaply but couldn't capitalise. 200+ was always going to be tricky but my main men just didn't stand up today. Shame to have it all end after dominating a season then losing 1 close match.:(
 
^ I'm going to have to change how I have the finals, that's two seasons now that the top team from the round robbin, has been knocked out in the semi finals. Will change it next season, but unfortunately that doesn't help the Rocks or Eagles.
 
Upcoming Match:

Final

Manicaland Bulls v Matabelaland Tuskers @ Harare Sports Club, Harare. Pitch - Excellent



Dipak & RPHKR, you can post your line-up for the final here or in the social group. :)
 
Wow! Tuskers are in the final! C'mon Tuskers. I knew this team had talented players and with a good manager, they have defied all odds -- considering they were the bottom placed team in the season -- and are in the final.
The fact that Tuskers had beaten the Bulls comfortably in the last league match will only help the Tuskers while Bulls would be on the backfoot.


I'm definitely for cheering for Tuskers. Just one more win needed. C'mon Tuskers you can do it!
 
Yippe! We won it! We're really happy to defeat the top team in the pool matches. :cheers
Our bowlers did the job there, Andy Blignaut finally performed great!!
And sorry for biggy :p

Same lineup for next match

Ray Price hit a four,
to finish a tense run-chase


 
Really sorry for taking so long to post the final, I've been away, and I still am. I'm going to be busy for a while so the league will have to be on hold.
 
BRAVO! Brad Haddin did this time, Yippe! Closest match in ZPL final.
I'm joyful, we was great to beat no.1 team at the group stage in the semis.
Ray Price's winning four was brilliant, we were actually tensed.
Hussey scored a half-century which supported us to chase it.

We've done it guys! Nice to win swirler's league. Managing a team in his league is special and great like Prats' MCC.
 
Great great match! Unlucky for Bulls that no one supported Sehwag much. Haddin did a wonderful job to seal the victory for Tuskers.

What a turnaround for Tuskers. The last spot team of last season is this season's winner. Well done RPHKR and Dipak for getting in the final.
 
The score made by Bulls was always going to be insufficient considering it was excellent pitch. But yet they fought hard but....

Anyways, Congrats Puneeth and Swirler for great team and league management respectively.
 
i am back will manage eagles if biggy agrees
