The continuous team comradery. Quick wit, ridiculous team banter and outrageous comradery is what sport is all about. The tail ender battle continues as we go to train in ‘mystery lane’. It’s called ‘mystery lane’ because our mysterious bowlers and side-armers come out, never knowing what you’re going to get. Macca tells us ‘for any other team you’d be batting six’ or ‘you’re the best number nine in the competition’. We’ve shown throughout the comp the strength and depth of our team is a joke. Winning a game 110-7 chasing 227 says it all!
Our bounce back ability. Sometimes losing a game can be the best thing that happens to a team. We had a little shakeup losing against the Sparks but this refocussed our energy going into the final game against Thunder. We’re ready for the final.
One thing is for sure, we can’t wait for the game on Sunday. We’re ready to show our Northern grit and going in as the underdogs isn’t a bad place to be…
Watch the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy final between Northern Diamonds and Southern Vipers, live on Sky Sports Cricket from 10.15am.
