Potential
Heroes
-
Michael Moore is
a fast bowler that has developed a lot in the last couple of years. He is
considered one of the fastest bowlers in the Western Cape. He is only in grade
11 so he will also be back in the tournament next year.
-
Justin Broad is
an number 3 batsman that comes in and builds an innings so others can play
around him. He is often there at the end of the game to see his team through.
-
Guy Sheena is our
off-spinning all-rounder and number 6 batsman. He changes the pace of the game
and before the opposition knows it he get 4 overs done very cheaply. When he
comes into bat he bats very quickly and find boundaries easily. He can take the
game away from the opposition.
Prospects
for the Coca-Cola T20 Schools Challenge National Finals
-
Their biggest strength is in the depth
and variety in their bowling attack. They have a genuine quick bowler, a couple
of medium pace bowlers, a right arm spinner and a left arm spinner.
-
To do well in the tournament their top
four batmen will have to do well enough to allow their bowlers to bowl to a
good target or if their bowlers restrict the opposition, the batsmen will need
to make sure that they chase down the total.
-
“The team is not focused on the results
but instead we want to focus on our procedures so that if we do our procedures
correctly we should get positive results. We don’t want to pressurize the boys
so we are going to get the boys to enjoy themselves,” said Jaco Zeeman Rondebosch
High School’s sports administrator.
