Doesn't matter what I say. The players will decide how they want to play when they get to the ground. They never pay attention to me, so why should they start to this late in the season. They know they need to win, but whether they have the heart is another story. Jenkins, Satti & zulch have been the only players to show passion this season, hopefully they can get us over the line.

After a lot of thought and deliberation, four bowlers have been played, with SD Malik dropped, despite hitting a fifty in each of his last three games. This is the most important match for the team as we push for fifth place. ND needs to beat Jamaica and we need a draw or a win against Guyana, or at least a whole lot of bonus points. The batting has started to show some heart of late, especially in Ul-Haq and Burns, while Mushtaq has taken 15 wickets in his last two games. It'll be a tough match but hopefully fifth place can be salvaged.
I would also like to change the pitch conditions by taking off one point of spin so they read 3-0-0

This game doesnt mean a lot, sure we can get promoted but asking Mashonaland to beat Guyana is a bit much, we are just hoping to end the season with a win and maybe finish 3rd

You thrash Jamaica and I'll try and do my bit

 

[Tom Halsey]

No, Simon, don't thrash Jamaica. Annoyed enough at missing out on 2nd place in OD on NRR.

Gone in with 8 batsmen after some dubious batting collapses in the past, I think my bowling is good enough to cope.

Ogden comes in to replace the injured McKenzie. The title is strangely in our hands a win and we are certain for a top 2 spot and depending on the bonus points we pick up depends whether we take the title or not. We need 16 points to secure the title but just getting a win would be nice. Best of luck to all teams.
