Well done to Bird for a good tenure and an amazing gesture of adding EB as an assistant during the election.

Congrats EB. Here is looking forward to some exciting times ahead.

Quick Update

Mars isn't able to be as active as he wants to be. Due to this. I've asked Dbest to come on board and just give us that extra input.

Once Mars can be fully active again I'll look at getting him back into it. Need every spot filled with input as we head into this first season.

Tour squad will be locked in Sunday. So will put it up here then.

First Tour

Crumbling, Slow, Sticky, Sticky, Crumbling.

Could've been worse. Would've preferred another slow for a sticky but we roll on

Winning start lads! Over the moon with that. Always nice after a full week of planning that it goes smoothly.
A much harder game vs England tomorrow. This will be difficult but hopefully we can put in one hell of a performance. A shame our 2 most consistent batsmen in Vidic and Essa who scored big today might be rested but we move!

Great start. Seems like we were always in control of the game.
England will be difficult but we have it in us to win it too.

Awful. Batsmen rolled over and died. We dropped giggs who then proceeded to see it out and take them above par. England then proceeded to complete 7 out of 7 fielding checks giving us absolutely no chance. Thats probably the tour over in terms of promotion too as the NRR will kill us.

See what we can do and go again tomorrow.

Obviously we wanted to promote. But we finish with 2 victories. A great finish to the tour. We go again next one day tour. For WC qualification we need to.promote in one of the next 2 tours. We feel confident we can get there.

T20 tour to contend with first. Can be a bit of a lottery at time these but let's see if we can secure a WC qualification there.
