aka Provincial Second XI Starts up again next week. I reckon New Zealand Second XI will conquer all; their team would go okay in the BS while some would struggle to win an ALC game. NSW City Second XI for the spoon.
Either you or Gonzo will be our best bat, depending on who I decide to pick to bat 8 for the first eleven. Incey can bat wherever he likes though. I'll try to get Hybrid or Rosso to sign a Ravens contract so we can pick them. Getting nismo back would also help. Our Second XI bowling attack is actually pretty good - %DA Crowley, %SM Green, %JP Wilkinson, %KF Tait, %BC Jacobs and %C Kovas... but we just have no bats.
You'd definitely play ahead of McDougal - probably S Laing too given he's such a proven failure for Britain. It's Howe you have to worry about.
Provincial seconds is terrible. Loses all value. The point of provincial cricket should be that it's for the best of the best. Random new cunce shouldn't just get an extra so many games each week. You earn those games, man.
