Always good to have the domestic game back on! Even if no one really watches the Matador...

I like the idea of the CA XI, but I think they should mix experience with youth. Players like Rohrer, Hartley and Sayers haven't been selected by their states. Throw them into this mix and suddenly the team is half competitive, and they could learn from having those senior players around them. The best way to develop talent for the national side is to have all teams competitive, and it would be a better contest to watch.

Yeah only has to be 2/3 experienced players to be the mentors. One bat one seam bowler one spinner perhaps? Brad Hodge is coaching the team so they have a good coach.

100% agree that Chris Hartley should be there though, such an experienced and wise man.

Looks like we will see a better CXI this summer, hopefully they bat first most matches and put on 200-250 at least it's a target that way.(already looking like more today the way Gibson and Bosisto are batting)

Absolutely torn.

Loving the Vics at the moment, but want Captain Valente to go well for D6s.

That said, my D6s team is in quite a ditch  :P Andrews is going horribly anyway, Go Vics!

PowerBug

Yaeh I'll never support the Vics even though I own Cam White. :P
