SL NT - The New Era

[paulc]

Just giving a heads up to the community that I feel NAT scene needs a refresh and the managements positions will be up for grabs on the next election. Thanks for all the support all these seasons.

Cheers,
bura

hopefully we can get a successor who can match your high level, getting Sri Lanka to #1 in the rankings is a big achievement!

By the way there seems to be an issue which this thread - it starts for me with an error and I need to open at page 78 to see your comment.
This may lead to not many people seeing this announcement unfortunately.

Thank you to the SL community in giving me the opportunity to try and continue what bura and I started 4 seasons ago. Many thanks to bura for the last 4 seasons - we had some great tours (let's not talk about the WCs, if you don't mind ).
Hopefully we will continue to have success as some of our younger players start making the squad.

I am looking for assistants - please PM me in game if you are interested.

Thanks,
rkpny

What can I say about Game 3? https://www.fromthepavilion.org/scoreca ... Id=5472223


David (3/18 in 10) and El Toro (4/26) won (stole?) the game for us.

Game 4 is on Crumbling/Hot. Need one of the next 2 games to stay up!

Game 4 did not go our way - not enough wickets in the middle overs and then the last 10 overs got away.
Let's hope for a better result today.
