Great job on winning the inaugural test championship. Some great performances throughout. Will you be continuing for the next edition or is this the end??

[bhagwati]

Thank You. This is the end for this version. I will do it in next one if Tests/Fc engine is more realistic & S/R of aggressive batsmen are toned down, like Travis Head scored 212 off 234 in final.

Going to start another story very soon in T20Is this time.
