New Zealand Premier League XIII

I told him not to experiment too much and try to hit the good length as often as possible after he got hammered in the first game but he repeated the same thing again and didn't enjoy any success.
He needs to understand that he's the one who should be leading by example being the senior bowler in the side.
Ah I see, maybe he needs to be dropped to teach him a lesson? Believe me it's worth a try. :p

MANAWATU MONSTERS    201       48.5 overs
STEWART IS' REJECTS  202/6     39.0 overs
   
Stewart Is' Rejects won by 4 wickets
  
Man of the match: Brandon Hiini

The Stewart Island Rejects cause their first upset of the season, chasing down the Monsters 201 inside 40 overs.
Only 11 eighth wicket partnerships in the history of ODI cricket have been higher than Smith's and Mason's 90.

Round 1 was filled with close tight encounters, while round 2 has been filled with one sided hidings.

@ Andrew - I advise you make your one trade with the Stewart Island Rejects now.
Morkel and Smith shouldn't be batting at five and six, they're simply not good enough to hold those positions.
I'd probably look to play one more specilist batsman, as at the moment you are playing Griggs at seven and Martin at eight.
Maybe give the gloves to McIntosh or Sinclair, then you won't need too play Griggs how's not to flash with the bat.
You should look to play six batsmen in your top six, then play Morkel and other all-rounders at seven and eight.
Remember JP can be used as your sixth bowler, so you don't need to play so many bowlers.
