Australian Premier League XIII

Good win. Ahmed showed some promising signs and as did Gul and Maxwell with Cowan leading the way with the bat. Hopefully this is an indication that we'll do better than the dismal showings we've had in the past.

If we win this, Darwin should be kicked out of the APL. :p
 
First warm-up went quite well, Finch played surprisingly well, the bowling department was a bit of a concern as bopara was left to do the 3rd seamer's job, which he did pretty well.

Hey, I beat your team with one international player :p

We were without our four best Aussies and our two best international players though, while Darwin's going pretty much full strength here. I'm still not playing my second best Aussie as well as any first choice international players. Plus Clarke and Hodge are down the order, because I want to see how my fringe players go again. And I'm only playing two pace bowlers on an excellent pitch. :lol
 
That's what I usually do with warm-up matches. First game is to give fringe players a go and second one is to test a close to full strength lineup.

One game isn't really enough to decide the four positions that I'm not sure on though. And it didn't help that neither of my all-rounders got to bat properly, which is why I've put them above Clarke and Hodge against you.

Good move. That said, I wonder what will we do if the allrounders score 50+ while Pup and Hodge too score good runs batting at lower middle order. :p
 
Appallingly batting that though that was not our best side. Thorp, Hogan and Krejza were impressive with the ball. Hopefully we'll find out our mistakes and will amend them in the main tournament.

Our bowlers did a decent job to restrict the opposition to just 254 which looked to be an easy enough total to chase. Luke Ronchi and Bancroft provided us with a great opening stand but the rest of the batsmen weren't able to convert their innings into big scores, Shakib particularly was too slow there. Hence, we ended up losing the game.

Good lineup, going with both our front line spinners will definitely benefit us on a poor pitch. Hopefully we'll be able to win this one.
