Congrats to Amarnath Persaud , that is a good hat trick list – top 3 players of the team.Ok maybe top 2 :p but still great. look forward to playing you.
@owzat!!! btw we did win against everest and I think they are one of the most decent and respectable teams in the league – also the only decision the umpires got wrong in the game went in our favor and Everest cap. was very gracious in accepting the decision lets give respect where its due.
