We're back for Season 2, and we get underway with the One Day Cup again. It starts on October 1st (Grand Final Day I know!) and runs for a few weeks. Will the Koalas go back to back, will the Cockatoos avenge their 800 point final loss from season 1? We will find out soon!

QLD have named their squad for the tournament :) No names there that need to be added to the FA pool.

So thoughts on the all-in no round robin for this comp? The small amount of matches makes it difficult to have a big competition. I think if it continues along this path we may need to reduce the prizemoney for this comp and make the other two worth more.

Probably the way to go.

Mate, I'm dying for any morsel of activity on the forum at this time of year. More than happy to post in any active part of the forum or do my best to keep it active aha. Also works to my advantage to be active when others aren't.  :P

Sounds good to me.

Joe Mennie, you will be missed.  :'(

[Koop]

flower Cormack was an absolute tosser in high school, but facing him wasn't pleasant. Off-spinner for anyone interested in him.

Should mention our two star domestic bowlers (Mennie and Tremain) are finally getting a well deserved call up to the national side... at the wrong time.  >:( :( 8) :P

The other three states really need to hurry up and name their squads so I know who I have playing this comp. I can see myself being a few short only 3 blokes confirmed in their 14 man squads and I'm surprised at no Hartley, Wildermuth, and Sayers.

Benny McDermott in the Tassie squad :D Should have close to a full team now! :o
