I reckon Pumas have actually improved and with lots of the other teams getting lolraped by the Allstars and Vipers, relatively we should be in an even better position.
Have the remember that the Ravens have huge depth the Test Eagles side on paper was so far ahead of everyone else last season and many of those players are going to be making the step up. It certainly wouldn't be wise to underestimate the Ravens next season on the other hand because of the losses I do expect the Test Eagles to fall back quite heavily.
Forgot about MF somehow. And yeah, I agree. You do have heaps of players that could make the next step up, but they equally may not...
Ravens 1. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=37>RG Cribb</a> 2. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=895>SP Phlegm</a> 3. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=849>PM Jackson</a> 4. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=376>MJ Deane</a> 5. %G Shriram 6. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=369>DRP Taylor</a> 7. Could be anyone, will probably depend on offseason and trials, but <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=402>NG Scott</a> has the inside running 8. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=186>TJL Webber</a> 9. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=886>M Faithful</a> 10. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=372>MP Chung</a> 11. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=420>JR Denton</a> 12. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=65>P Orr</a> to come in if the pitch is a big turner.
Gamblers... 1. MC Burridge 2. A Vago 3. BG Herd 4. BJ Gemmell 5. L Popovic 6. BS Read (or Hornby if he signs) 7. J Read 8. L Tyson 9. BJ Taylor 10. GIMH Martyn (or RE Hallett if it was a turner) 11. JP Wilkinson Pretty damn good batting lineup, but the bowling looks fairly toothless.
Yeah, it's a very raw and unproven team. Lots of potential there but not much of it has been realised. Could honestly do anything from win the comp to get the spoon; that's why I'm so excited for it. No pressure on us this time.
