I'm up against a div 3 sri lankan opponent. Will be sending out my first team to try to cause and upset. Definitely going into the match as the underdogs.

Good Luck all!

Welcome to Zion Oval for the match between Matrix_xfx and tonk_it.

We can tell you that tonk_it won the toss and elected to bat. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out there rubbing their hands on this sunny day.

No chance in winning

Got smashed. Will win tonight though

Chumberlee Select XI Bruthen Bandits
Top Order: proficient mediocre
Middle Order: mediocre woeful
Lower Order: worthless worthless
Seam Bowling: respectable woeful
Spin Bowling: remarkable feeble
Fielding: woeful woeful

not to worry, looking at tonights game, probably will get the same result.
quick question, may be a silly one as well, but do bt20 affect sponsors and members confidence?
