Scramble For Numbers - Two Day Matches Are Back

Injuries have seriously kicked in. The stocks of speed demons have taken a pounding over recent weeks with the trifecta of Little Man, No Name and Fireman as good as gone until 2010/11 and Vardichin slow on the recovery. The Badge and Myo Kimbo showing signs of tiredness that will need some careful nursing as they have proven to be of exceptional value.

Poor Vardichin, the eyes of sadness as he struggles with the frustration of injury. Bravely he fronted up to lead an under strength attack on the weekend, giving his all as is the custom. The competitive fire though is dulled by genuine pain and we may have to exercise caution here.

Plenty of younger Lions involved in the pathway events with several in battle against each other. Desperate having an outstanding carnival as one of the highest ranked spinners while at the bottom age, along with having to survive a week with Sando-oh. Little Guus unable to get the car into top gear, lots of solid starts but the reward of a place in the final to be played at the Big G. Little Guus off to the Big G - enjoy the path and take a moment to reflect with Max1 how special a place it is.

Latest episode of knowledge install is focused on the ability of David Hussey to adjust his feet to allow clean, straight hitting in a classical manner. Game review of the bowling skills of Max1 and Skipper Dick and the glove work of Samurai in recent T20 reveal something directly common with Hussey. Balance, head still and relaxed - basic ingredients for efficient execution of skills repeated.

Danger game for the Lions, the Heat are always a challenge and with all Bushranger players returning a round of intrigue awaits.
