Last game we play this tour's unpredictable Aus. If we win we claim the title!

Like to keep everyone on their toes mate!

Congrats mate, you guys have been so consistent recently!

Well done on a great week

[Drewyface]

Thanks! But you won the cup as well as being consistent. Kudos to you!

We had a good team last WC but the boys were out of touch just before the cup. We had brought in and stuck with a bunch of folks (likes of Embiid, Lakmini, Thambawita, Ushanthi) for a long time even when they were not ready for the senior side just with the cup in mind. But we failed at the big moment.

Unfornitanely, we won't have that kind of strong team for a while for sure. We have to find a way to do better than 100% from the next batch.

Thanks mate!

Yep, we have an ageing squad too so the next couple of seasons will be tough for us to stay competitive. Good luck for the remaining tours mate, see you in a couple of weeks for the T20 tour and well done again.
