What has interested me for about 6 years now, is that every single year we (Eltham) are favourites to get relegated. Every year we are written off, given no chance, and no player is rated at our club other than Skips. I agree yes, that Skips is the best bat in the comp, with little competition really, and he has saved our bacon many a times, and won many games off his own bat.
But come on boys, we have not been relegated yet. And everyone has said it will happen every year. Someone put there balls on the line and back us. Cricket is a game of confidence as we all know, and going into the break with a HUGE win, will give the boys confidence that they now know that they can actually win games. Over the last few years we have beaten Plenty, Diamo, Bundoora to save our arses. I am backing ECC to snag another victory (or two) before seasons end.
The other point i want to make, is the lack of respect to other blokes at Panther place. Davo, Willo and to an extent Cam lea are all more than shabby players. We all know Davo, and that he probably has more ticker than anyone else, and has been super consistent over the last two years. Just needs to go on with one big score to get him going. Willo is proven, and has the brains and ability to win games. Just a shame he's at the twilight of his career. And Cam lea, very serviceable with bat and ball. Just needs to do both in the same game.
