Most teams should see a slight increase in weekly sponsorship awarded, starting with the weekly finance updates today.

01 Feb 10 22:30 - Congratulations India
Not content with second place in the last world cup, India managed one better this time and took out the trophy against a gallant New Zealand.

On a crumbling pitch, New Zealand scraped together a middling total of 145-8 from their alloted overs. After a couple of early scares, a fourth wicket partnership of 76 steered the Indians home with 8 overs to spare.

Congratulations to the managers, assistants and communities of both countries.

24 Jan 10 00:00 - Commentary Bug
It appears there is a bug with the commentary following the End of Season update that occurred yesterday

The bug is causing non-wicket taking commentary lines to appear in red, which is usually only used when an actual wicket occurs.

The Admin team are aware of the bug, so there is no need to report it.
