Momentum Building - In Patches

Back to back rounds where the club has won three of the matches against the opponent, some of the wins absolute top shelf in overall quality playing brilliant cricket. Even down to the DKP squad who obliterate the highly ranked Saints, but the senior Lions have wounds of doubt and mottled fur unable to attract the cricket gods for kindness, the golden tawny lustre patchwork like in condition.

The invite goes out to most recent premiership captain to join the fold and give us a burst of optimism. Skipper Dick undergoes a grilling and confession of all things so we have a complete understanding - nothing left to chance is the agreed theme. Robust discussion covers all that is deemed relevant, game plan agreed upon.

Group assembled, introduced to most recent premiership captain, always a pleasure to have visitors involved during the preparation phase to see the inner workings. An alternative vision point gives feedback that is needed, very hard to see all. The change in message deliverer gives cause to a few that were sore (?) suddenly finding the inner beast to be involved.

Standard reaches competitive point as the seriousness of the situation becomes aware to all. For the second consecutive season we enther this last round with three sides very much alive, two already secured. A full list is expected to be available that means a few hard and probably unjustified decisions on selection will eventuate. The smallest deviations from effort start to stand out as a reason for change.

Nets completed, breathing through exertion a pleasant sound, Lions break into three prides for ball handling. Surface is close to perfect allowing the highly skilled predators to shine in the spotlight. Cubs are starting to understand the point of difference that fielding can provide when evaluating the ability to progress and possible role. The conveyor belt of lower grade cricketers will always churn out options to replace those that seem unable of wanting to break through to the land of 100 overs, colored clothing and the white ball.

The next destiny point is to be unveiled, very soon.
