Before this week’s match, I have switched around non-facing opener Sanders to third for me to second. We lose and bat. How will I do in this new position? We start strong, 8 off four and then we’re out. Disappointing. In our bowling we start badly, but collect a wicket in our first over. I […]

Steve O’Keefe had an outstanding performance against India in Pune, his best bowling of 12/70. Darren Lehman has compared it to Mitchell Johnson’s performance in the Ashes.

Fourth-placed Wangaratta face Wodonga and our favourite man Paddy Spin will hopefully lift his team once again. We can’t find the gap, so we are forced to take singles to start off. We collect a three next over, then we smash one up in the air and we are caught for 6. Let’s hope we […]
