[FADE]OUT, LBW! That has been given out leg before. The ball kept low and would have went on to hit middle and off. [/FADE]

Thanks @TSPrathik for giving me a chance to co manage Paarl Rocks with NMA. This league is special for me as this is the first time i've won a league. Thanks @RUDI and @Parth D :). Congrats @Yash. and RUDI on bringing the match till the final ball well fought :).
 
:’(

We should’ve won this. Albie Morkel massively underperformed in the final and thus we ended up on the losing side.

Great managing a team with you @RUDI

Great league @TSPrathik

Fun Fact : our team didn’t make a single change and never played a spinner throughout the whole tournament :p
 
WHAT!?! How did we pull that off? HOW DID WE PULL THAT OFF!!! :eek:

Steve Smith and David Miller played excellently and were literally the only reason we even got so close to the target (which we eventually chased-down). I'm so hyped up that I finally won a league that would grant me a berth in the Champions League! Especially since it came on the heels of me losing the finals of Ohm's Royal London One-Day Cup with Middlesex and Akshay.'s Alokozay Afghanistan Premier League with Speen Ghar Tigers. After having seen the first innings, and then how our chase started, I was sure I was going to make it a hat trick of final loses to deny myself an entry in the Champions League. So glad that we won, legitimately elated.

Tough luck boys @RUDI/@Yash. - you guys had one of the best teams on-paper (imho), but on their day, our team could've absolutely defeated you guys. And I'm glad that day was the final. :D

On to the Champions League @Murtaza96! :cheers
