    First of all thanks daiji for clear and distinct photos. Glamarous work daiji to make photos look so genuine.
    Its silly that somebody says why organizers called these 6 teams best. Article does not say these are the best teams at all. Article simply says these are among the top teams. So one must correct his correct his english grammer rather than simply writing anything he likes .Let me congratulate all these top teams once again. All the very best

    One of the humorous article on the web, especially the phrase “6 veteran teams” may have been ed by the IPL committee. Each comment to the article is mind-blowing. Just imagine the height of stupidity where few people including me are wasting time on posting comments on a friendly Tournament organized within the close friend-circle. Someone may have not been invited but it does not stop anyone from participating in other Tournaments scheduled for the same day.

    To some extent I do second the comments of Rakesh, Kannadiga, Donald what was the need to publish Captains Photos, what is the basis to call these 6 Teams as the best etc.

    It is just a publicity stunt, practice matches for the looser teams to play in the real Tournaments outside.

    Best of luck Alliance Friends Cricketers, you really need more similar Tournaments.

    A exciting tournament is expected then? Nafees is the winner of Pamboor Tournament,Coastal was the runners up in Denzils Zabeel Tournament,Mogaveer was highly placed in pamboor tournament(I think they were semifinalist?). Shayaan is a new team & I do not know much. Good choice of 6 teams. After all these are one of the 6 best teams.
