The U19's that mankeded a team en route to winning. I find the WI arrogant and they really like to rub it in.

Sorry, Tom....can usually work out what is meant with a typo, but what is mankeded.
P.s. Have looked up mankaded. It's a real thing...thanks for information, Tom.

Berg has his surgery tomorrow, so we should hopefully get a better idea shortly of how long he'll be out for. Talk at the moment is 12 weeks, which would be such a massive blow given how important he was for us last season.
10 weeks out for Berg. One game out for Jimmy. Topley available for next week.
Looks like Carberry, Alsop, Dawson, Vince, Smith, Wheater, Ervine, McLaren, Fidel, Topley and then one of Tomlinson, Wheal, Wood and Crane for our opening game. I'd be surprised if it's Crane, given that we're in April and it sounds like we're slightly concerned about playing Topley as one of just three main seamers due to him not playing red ball cricket for some time (and having had injury issues in the past). But then again, Crane has had a good pre-season.
Warks the first of hopefully 8 sides this season to fall into the trap of seeing some green on our wicket, and deciding to invoke the new rule to discard the toss and bowl first.
There's been a decent handful of times in recent years where sides have won the toss down here, and wrongly chosen the bowl. The grass doesn't seem to assist the seamers here at all. It generally remains the batting paradise that it usually is. There's a reason why you never see us choose to bowl first here.
(Famous last words?...)
As I half expected, Tommo takes the final place in our XI.

Don't we practice batting in the close season seem to recall that the same thing happened last year
