The pre-season/start of season T20 comp was just played with riverview taking it out, Newington coming second, scots third and grammar fourth.
Who does everybody have for the GPS team this year?
Who this time??? Last year they got totally owned by everyone! sent kids back to where they once came, had a fast bowler get taken to by a Year 9 batsman. Who have they freighted in this yearWord on the street is that Scots have significant firepower this season.
Shepherd from TKS will be captain. Bats 3-6 and handy to open withy the pill, but probably a better first changer.Who does everybody have for the GPS team this year?
Nobody 'freighted' in - same attack as last seson. The kid you refer to wasn't sent back to where they once came. He went home for family reasons. Equal 4th isn't totally owned and could've been higher as had New on toast at end of day 1 and day 2 was washed out when every other game that weekend was completed.Who this time???

Any predictions for the season? I'd guess:
1) Riverview
2) Newington
3) Grammar
4) Scots
5) Joeys
6) Kings
7) High
8) Shore
So many variables here.
I'll give 'View benefit of the doubt from the T20 games, though some of the other teams look very well suited to the longer forms.
Haven't seen much of Newington, though their results so far sound impressive enough.
Scots is a huge swing team; as much as they could end up 1 (where they should be based on talent), they struggle as a unit, and seem to crack with pressure.
Grammar look strong batting, though there doesn't appear to be a potent strike bowler (though the T20 match I saw at Rushcutter's appears to indicate they can hit their spots consistently enough).
I think Joeys may struggle with depth, having lost a number of players from last years team.
Kings sounded as though they were awful without Shepherd, but I still see them beating the bottom-feeders.
High are better than most would expect, though that's unfortunately not saying much. Fantastic batter in Duffy, he'll likely be carrying most of their innings.
Shore don't seem to have much on either side of the ball. I think most of the contenders will be hoping that they get these guys for a 2 dayer; outright win, and home by lunchtime on the second day.

Who is Dedham and what school?
Thank You. Are there many like Dedham (joke) out there that are of the chosen ones ie Cricket AND Rugby? Have we had many through or coming through? The two true Sports should prevail.Sorry a typo I thought I wrote Deegan referring to both his cricket & rugby
