SL NT - The New Era

[Lesvosace]

Hi guys

I won't be standing for the Nat job again this time. I have a new baby due to arrive very soon and work is getting hectic. It's been an honour as always. The world cup was Crud so sorry about that but the batting just didn't hold up. Highlights winning the t20 title in the first tour and maintaining division 1 in the SOD. Low point being relegated in the second t20 tour but still leaving things in a good place for the new manager.

Well done Les and thanks from the SL community.

Best of luck to Summit.

26-11-2022 Netherlands won the toss and elected to bat on Crumbling/windy day.

SL looking for early strike and was provided in 4th over but the Netherlands middle order stood still and continue to rotate the strike. S. Keerthilatha took 4 & N. Mahesh took 3 wickets to wrap the side.

179 never going to be any easy chase, top 4 went down on just 12 then R. Segamoah & C. Warakagoda stable the inning and put 97 run stand and provide some hope, S. Van Katwijk took 4 for 33 to end the inning on 172.

Player of the day award goes to C. Warakagoda for his 61.

great start with a win. It looked a bit familiar but great to see a good partnership in the middle order to get us over the line It's about time WarakaGODa lived upto his billing.
