Season 2010 - Week 6 Results and Discussions

Starting a new thread to discuss Week 6 games and other cricketing stuff on public demand.

To start up with, Chargers and St. Louis have become one of the few teams to lose to both the Div-1 debutants this year (CCI and Rovers). Though early to say, United along with Chargers seems like battling the relegation (1 win and 5 losses).

In Div 2, Rogers Park and Arena are the teams fighting for the top spot with no loss so far. But look out for QC Kings too, as they seem to have picked a good amount of talented new players. My team-Titans, along with others like Jaguars, Illinois, Mil Panthers will have to face stiff competition for the above 3 teams, if we are dreaming of any chances to get to Div-1 next year.

Div 30-30 has a debutant team topping the table so far - NightHowlers. South Barrington, Chicago Hawks, Juggernauts (another debutant) are doing well too.

In the Night Tournament, Challengers got a big win, while Karachi won a close match. More interesting match-ups coming up this week.
