Time waits for no man, and another year has gone by! For 1903, we have another guest team who happened to be on tour in England at the time, and the opening fixture is between Gentlemen of Philadelphia v New South Wales. If @Yonga @joejoe018 and @VC the slogger could post their elevens, I'd be eternally grateful.

Meanwhile,there's a bye for defending champions @themusketeer and @Matt121 to twiddle their thumbs.

This is fast becoming my favourite league out of all the ones I've done on this forum, but if there's something I could do to make it better for you, just let me know.

Yorkshire looking to defend Title
After a brilliant performance to take the World Championship last year, Yorkshire have qualified once more to attempt to prove themselves to be the best team in the world. They are without some of their leading players from last year, and this appears to be the start of a changing of the guard. Their opponents will be a fiercely dominant New South Wales, and this year's guest team, the Gentlemen of Philadelphia. It will not be easy for them.

Team News

Yorkshire

This year, Yorkshire will be looking to become the first team in history to defend cricket's World Title. However, they will face much sterner opposition than in the last edition, including a Philadelphian team which has defeated both England and Australia in the past. They will also be without one hero of their last campaign, batsman Tom Taylor, but jovial George Hirst is in fine all-round form.

reg_duff,0.jpg

New South Wales

If New South Wales are to reclaim the World Title, then much will depend on the batting form of Reggie Duff, Monty Noble and Victor Trumper. The bowling will be similarly reliant on two or three individuals, so long as they have all performed, New South Wales have been unbeatable. However, there is a soft underbelly in this team which threatens to be exposed.

John_A_Lester.jpg

Gentlemen of Philadelphia

John Ashby Lester and John Barton King are two of the most crucial members of a strong Philadelphian team. Both have been on the winning side in crushing defeats of a full Australian team, so there's no reason that this team cannot push for the title themselves. With no tour planned for 1904, there would likely be no way for them to defend that title.

Context
The Yorkshire team is no longer its unbeatable former self, and will be facing some very stern opposition.

Watch out for
The World Championship visits its fifth, sixth and seventh locations in Yorkshire. Will the touring batsmen be able to flourish on notoriously green pitches?

Prediction
As reigning champions, Yorkshire must go into this tournament as favourites, but NSW must fancy their chances.
