Newcastle and Cisse at loggerheads over Wonga deal
I think the player has been to the casino, i just imagine how the new season will pan out for him. He’s a massive talent, yes, he might have wanted out but hey if he repays their faith, ala Benteke, this will be soon forgotten.
Thank you too for your encouraging feedback 🙂

Thanks Timmuh, you’ve kept the room warm with your updates, i salute you.
Thankfully, the four wins were good enough to promote Team Uganda to the next level-Division II, and i’m happy we surpassed our target of gaining promotion from the division.

Uganda's lofty ambitions at the WCL Division III qualifier
Thanks guys for the comments, Timmuh for pointing out the rankings—as it stands, Uganda has won 2 of her two games, except for today’s fixture which is ongoing (Italy restricted Team Uganda to 114/9 in 50 Overs). We should know what happens in the next 2/3 hours.
Will have a piece up tomorrow which touches on the games.

As it stands right now, North London will be represented by the noisy neighbours, nevermind AW’s optimism, this one is beyond just words—-how they have fallen.

@ Tenash, thank you for your compliments, i believe with a lot of effort and persistent hard work, the upcoming world cup berths will be fine ground to showcase the strengths of the associate cricket nations.
@ Brian, in the last competition we hosted Namibia, however this time around they won’t be coming, i’m certain RSA and Zimbabwe have been approached but it is difficult when you are in Div III and are trying to persuade a Test Nation.
Hopefully soon.
ICC Twenty20 to test Uganda's mettle
Hullo Dishes,
Bisla had a very special innings, he displayed maturity in taking the initiative—it was critical they formed a partnership with Kallis which they did, a 136-wonder.
Very special innings indeed.
IPL final 2012: The Manvinder frenzy
Lords,
I think part of the plan in winning is retaining that title, and yes i imagine a sizeable capital investment. I also tip the Royal Challengers and a bunch of other teams next season, and possibly we get to see more Pakistan players as well, and maybe some Ugandans too; i have to keep the hope stirred for my folks.
Have a good day brother. Thanks

Hullo Rabbitz,
Yes, the IPL was concluded on Sunday with Kolkata Knight Rider’s winning.
But i’m sure the highlights are somewhere, even via youtube.

The Psychology of the WC and the CL are all different, however this lad is a big name player…ultimately he’ll win that top prize.
Is Lionel Messi the greatest of all-time?
HardcorePrawn, That would be tragic, for Newcastle/ EPL. I loved Chris Hughton, i hated the way he was dismissed!
