“It’s a huge advantage for us, the fact we have had a very consistent side all year, with the only reason people have pulled out is because of injury or unavailability,” Morrish said.

Yoogali however has lost one of its better players this year, with Ihtisham Ud Din having to return to his native Pakistan for personal reasons.

Morrish said his departure would be felt, but added that his bowling stocks were still very strong, judging by the variation that was on display last weekend.

“He (Ud Din) was very important, especially during the later part of the year has had some great spells of bowling, but we used seven bowlers last weekend, so we have a fair range to work with,” he said.

For the bat, the form points towards Richard Watts as the main man. Watt’s purple patch of form bodes well for a large score if his side chooses to bat first.

But Morrish said while Watts was undeniably in form, the fact that anybody could contribute to the side was comforting to know.

“Each week we have had somebody new stand up,” Morrish said.

“It just sort of panned out that way, but we haven’t had a run away leader in wickets or runs, and that makes for really good competition within the side.”

For Hanwood captain Jason Bertacco, the aim will be to keep the good times rolling, after his side picked up the one-day crown last Sunday.

Bertacco said his players weren’t suffering any grand final hang over, and would have their minds in the right place for two-day cricket.

“Everyone is really excited, but they are ready to get their minds back on the job,” Bertacco said.
