McManus just told me he would be opening, which means Rossouw will be at 6, we bat deep

Hi Everyone

Also back from hibernation after a long winter.

Looks like we have tried to address our batting issues so here's in hoping for a good season ahead... or more realistically a season of batting collapses and missing relegation by the odd point or 2

Didn't last long, not unexpected.

Still very strong middle order.

Berg said it’s bowling conditions and they wanted to bowl.

13 April, probably best if your first game is away.

Still get through the first hour without too much damage....

Don’t want to jinx it, but these 2 are playing really well

I was going to say the same about Adams' early season form!

Adams keeps hitting fielders but he appears to be middling a lot, Vince edged through slips a moment ago other than that has been excellent

Slow over rate, I guess due to having to retrieve a lot of boundaries!

Vince keeps guiding them down to 3rd man, they have a fine leg in despite ball not going close to there but ignoring 3rd man. scored Atleast 5 boundaries there

A decent score at lunchtime in the conditions although tempered slightly by the two late wickets.

An invaluable knock from Berg again.
