Ok I’m sorry but I had to get all the Onion-related puns out of the way before we move on, at least it kept the tabloid hacks busy for a few minutes. As did rumours that Phil Mustard and Ryan Sidebottom will join forces with Onions in an amusingly titled surname XI.

Fortunately this time out is not sponsored by anyone. So we don’t have to talk about DLF Maximums and Citi moments of horseshit and what not.
SApel has reached its half way point. Most teams have played their first round of group matches and I thought it would be a good time to check back on [...]
