[Chipmunk]

Match preview

These two sides have already had a friendly, where Keptin Mafia won a close one. However, according to eth-dog 's predictions Fulmina will win the whole thing, and they even roped in a match against the 1997 Australian test team for extra practice, which will finish today! jackster83 impressed with the bat for Fulmina, while MP_ did the same for Keptin. How will the Keptin groundstaff prepare the Oval?

Prediction: Keptin Mafia win

Captains, please submit your teams by 8pm AEDT on Friday

Let’s go, Mafia, time to whack Fulmina again!

Who else is still on holiday?

I’ve been “training” in the Darwin hotel pool and outdoor gym and let’s just say the conditions have resembled a sauna. Bring it on Fulmina.

Time to do to Fulmina what Australia did to India.

 

[Jabba73]

We have to humiliate them?

Why can’t we just use the previous match score and save them the embarrassment?

SURPRISE START TO THE QRICKET SEASON!
(I thought it was starting next week)

While we wait for the final day of play to occur against the '97 Aussies, turns out we have our own international travelling to do as we go up against Keptin first up. Remember to pack plenty of sunscreen and make sure your drinks stay covered.

My body is now resembling David Boon or Arjuna Ranatunga from Sri Lanka, expect more fours as I won’t be running much with this belly.

 

[moginie]

I'm ready and so is Vic.

Everyone entering Keptin must supply a shoe size, we have an apprentice concrete boot maker and concrete isn’t cheap

 

[Dinsdale]

Ready...

 

[Gralin]

Ready...

I am also ready

If it's anything like last match, I'll just check out until the last 5 overs of the match. See ya there.

What’s worse is when it’s more than a fart and you’re in your whites. Happened last game to me so I decided to scoot down the wicket rather than run

Undefeated in 2024, guess we'll do it again in 2025!

The bum shuffle has been my 4yo daughter's "party trick" for at least a year now.

Mine was like that pre-Christmas.

Gunna shorten the run-up or I won’t get through a Mitch Marsh workload.

Luckily for you qricket still allows runners
