Only hours to go! Battle lines are drawn! Another five hours to see who draws the first blood! The tension is palpable...
First of all, many thanks for all of you for sending your teams in time. A few afterthoughts resulting in few changes received before the cutoff time and have been duly updated. As expected, most teams are circumspect and one can see some experimentation in team selection across the board. A general feedback is that it is difficult to pick the teams as most good players are highly priced - agree, but did anyone promise an easy ride?
If the history of Cricketcetera Masters is to be believed, first few matches hardly make any difference to the final leader board, but in this new version of Cricketcetera Masters there is cash to be won in each game. So the interest begins from the first match itself. First few matches are also most difficult to take an informed decision as the player forms, ground conditions and playing elevens are all unknown to all the masters. A win here is as probable as getting six in the throw of the dice - so luck will remain the major factor in standings after this game...so...ALL THE BEST!!!
The status file in excel has been sent to the Mastesr and they can use it to do an online update of scores (in 'scoresheets') as they unfold at DY Patel Stadium, Navi Mumbai. The official version will be sent to you after the match (either tonight or tomorrow morning).
All future updates will be sent to the Masters on their e-mail IDs only.
Cheers and Good Luck
