Destiny.....

Well, where do I start!?!? Suburbs I guess.

This week saw Star A move just one tiny little bit closer to making it 3 out of 3 for this season's finals. With the Skipper out, Dave Gunn took the reigns and did a sublime job both as a captain and player. Star opted to bat and thanks to big fifties from Tharik Alam and Pieter Geldenhuis ably supported by the middle order, Star got to 270 odd.

Suburbs was never on target and fell 60 odd runs short. Again Tharik and Pieter stood out with 3 wickets a piece. Gus Lily snared 3 catches in the field, to firmly stamp the attendance of the B's players in this side.

On this point, Star has this year lost many players through the year as most clubs did, but Star A was well supported and could not have gotten into the 2 finals they did without the help of the very able B's squad. In fact many times this season, Star's B team could have made a very interesting game against Star's A side! It also looks like Star A could make the 2 day final, and seeing as Saturday's team was made up of only 3 Star A regulars and B's, it looks like the B's may yet play a big roll in the third final of the year.

So 2 days worth of cricket will decide Star A's destiny. 13 Points against St Pauls, and Star A will be in another final this season.

And then there is the one day final this Sunday.... Te Rapa, YOU are going down! Good luck boys!

and by opted to bat you mean lost the toss and were inserted on what looked to be a bit of a green seamer but turned out to be a pretty good deck all round
