Earlier today we met with Rhys Williams, the captain, all star legspinner from The Lunar Sharks. He had the following to say about the Preseason Tournament:
'Whilst I understand the need for such a tournament, and am obviously delighted by my personal successes [Williams is currently the top wicket taker with 9 wickets from his four games], I don't see the need for the other teams to constantly badger on about reaching a final. Let's face it, this tournament is completely meaningless. Not only will the sim undergo further changes post-tournament, but also the real season predominantly consists of 50-over one day and first class cricket - completely different from this T20 nonsense that we've been busying ourselves with over the past week'
'I'm delighted that the testing has gone well and all, but people need to chill out and realise that this is the equivalent of playing in the bleedin' Community Shield. And who won that...Manchester United. Well they didn't go on to win the big stuff did they? No. It's all completely irrelevant in terms of what's still to come this season.'
'However, I would like to lend my support to the Willow Wanderers in Saturday's final. They've been the best team so far in this "tournament".'
It is understood that Williams made these comments during the Sharks innings against the Smashers, where they were 70/4 off of 16 overs. That makes these comments perfectly understandable.

Pfft, 9 wickets? Real men go at less than 6 rpo.
