Early money on KC Hammers, Banagher Knights would probably be second favourite right now.

After that it's a crap shoot.

I don't know about that... I've got a pretty strong team right now... last season I was very weak in the bowling department w/ only 2 decent bowlers... now I've got 5 quality bowlers so I should be more competitive. Last year my batsmen won most of my matches, but I've gained balance and I've got matchwinners on both sides of the ball.

KC Hammers (Cain) did tell me you were the toughest team he faced in the BS Battrick Cup last season, so you are now the joint second favourite!!

pfffft, johno's a walkover


i've got a better batting squad. my bowlers are pretty much the same, maybe a little worse because I sold a good one and bought an allrounder who is a better batsmen then bowler.
