Baskets dominated their last yr in the 2's and made the bold move of going up, obviously without consulting the players, as their two best players from that yr decided not to play in the A's.
Mylor are doing the same , getting an outright against most teams this yr. but if you honestly think that warby or fleety would be taking wickets in the A's you deluded. their best chance was when both of the coopers were fit so they atleast had a couple of genuine sharp bowlers. but dont think anth. coop even bowls anymore. they certainly have some good batters in Fielke, Bawden, Steadman and Fleet but not sure theyd be as effective against better bowlers.
What I find intriguing here is that it seems to be everyone other than us suggesting we should step up - yet at the same time we have doubts raised about our ability to make that step. Believe me, those exact questions are running through the minds of us too! I think our batting is easily the match of most A-grade teams, but as above who knows if those blokes really want to play at that level. It's our bowling where we might not be good enough - it lacks depth and persistent niggly injuries to AJ Cooper are a concern (as is his one week on, one week off availability). But as Banker says if a couple of disgruntled pacement from other clubs was prepared to give us a go then we'd be competitive. We might not win it, sure, but I would guarantee we would not finish last - even with the current squad!
the only one i hear with a bit of self pride out there is ants prior, the rest shoot there mouth off with little back up in there cricketing resumes.
