Amabola Penguins v Portugal_XI (3818596)
Date: 30/06/2009 at 07:30
Ground: Amabola Penguins CG

Will be an interesting match as i will be playing a mix of first and 2nd team players.

Playing Zulu warriors, and have been forced to leave out star bowler Edirisingha on fitness concerns. New bowlers Sigley and Vincent have an opportunity to impress, and the manager has given them his full backing with a last minute pitch change to green, a move supporters hope will also combat the warriors triple spin threat. Legends hope to put in a better performance than last years fixture, when two shocking batting collapses led to a mammoth 540 run loss. All will be revealed tommorrow...
