PreGame Post

Saturday 12th September 2009 TC and his new 3rd Grade team face off against the team that knocked our B2 team out in the semis 6 short months ago. With a stronger team now is the perfect time for revenge after being abused in two games by these people last season. This Wakehurst team returns after being told they were going to be kicked out of the club last season when they were witnessed by the club president abusing the 13/14 year olds in the Manly Grade team. I can only presume they have promised to clean up their act so they can continue with the club.

The toss: There is a 95% chance we will be bowling first. Darren has made it clear we want to bowl and I can't see Wakehurst choosing to bowl on a 30 degree day on what seems as though a good field to bat on. Whether our choice is a good one or not will soon be found out.

The ground: TC returns to Lake park for the first time in a while. The ground was surveyed yesterday and doesn't appear to be in great nick. The outfield, while the grass looks a little long, it is actually really dry with a few bare patches. A fast outfield is expected. The pitch is in a canyon. At one run up in particular there is a steep drop to the pitch which could upset some bowlers. At the other end the run up is particularly sandy which could also cause some problems.

Weather: As I already mentioned, approaching 30 degrees. It is going to be a bloody hot one and thats about it.

So summing up, at 1:00 you should see Mick opening the bowling followed by TC. CPCC are hoping for a Wakehurst blood bath.

Good luck to all Plateau teams.

CPCC TV Presence: Should be at the following games. 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, 7th Grade.
