Seamers are overrated.

Particularly pleased with the O'Callaghan 59 (28) - he's a 17yo slow starter on 7 touch, he had no right to reduce a pretty decent bowling attack to dust. An excellent prospect.

Tin Yau obviously put up a fight (52 off 25) but wickets kept falling. Bear in mind that a sixth spinner, Dan Price, was rested lol.

Good win that for AXI-W. FHK had another friendly at the same time, so we tried to field two separate XIs. We still outrated you guys, but I don't think the XI we put out was that strong. Tiffany Yuen didn't bowl well and we didn't have the batting depth to chase down a large score. At least we won the other game!

seems like both FHK friendlies were upsets. the side I put out against Sibelius was 50K vs their 62K!

I think this just points to how important certain key players can be. In both games we bowled first, with the aim of taking out the top order cheaply with our 'main' bowlers. Against Sibelius it worked, leaving us a low runchase that we just barely managed. Against AXI-W it didn't, and Du Preez and O'Callaghan gave our batters too much to do.

But what’s the benefit? Maybe he’ll come back into the side next year to try and get promotion but right now when I’m already relegated I’m picking

18yo - 30(47)
16yo - 24(46)
16yo - 17(45)
18yo - 32(44)

18yo - 32(47)
17yo - 27(46)
16yo - 19(45)
18yo - 34(44)

Not expecting any to make NATs necessarily but will hopefully be the spine of my bowling group for some time.

CWC table disagrees :) But yeah our bowling friendly conditions are definitely not somewhere you want to try and set a target.\

In other news, just pulled a new wicketkeeper so I think I'll be selling Taha Jan

ZCC pulled a kid classified as 'wicketkeeper' with an avg of 3 catches a game, got a 44 pot RM bowler instead. His name was Mongia as well -.- Up on the TM if anyone is interested in a project. Partnership breaker but low stam/field and just 1 current skill.

Won my T20 unexpectedly, very out rated but managed to get a win off the last ball.

TMOs pulled nothing again. Really need to get some new scouts. Squad back down to 16 players. Have also acquired a 4th coach to try get options to coach more than 3 bowlers.

Lester Shum rested for FHK's T20 game today due to fitness concerns, but Andy Li's bowling being exposed again at senior level. Good IGT and experience for the young allrounder, but kinda regretting not having Lester there. Could be 0-2 after two weeks in T20 Div 2 after tonight.

Frans Potgieter playing his farewell game against AAs rn. Getting a damn decent BQ on a pretty worn pitch, but I expect we won't be playing on too many of those.
