It might be a World XI type affair Andy. The WAT First XI is a well-knit outfit, who has experienced great success for a long period of time, having played together as a cohesive unit under the guidance of admin for a while.

The WAT 2nd XI does have many big names and some rising stars; however, the key question remains: will enough of their guys actually turn up to give us a game? There are doubts about the availability of 5 of the 11 players (Goatman, Pete, Seamer, Lemming, Mongoose) for varying reasons (injury, too much other cricket, etc) and hence can the remaining six stars give the impressive First XI guys a game? Or will it be another white-wash?
