Cricket Overseas
Another mention for Dumfries 'old boy' Andrew Mascall (2018 overseas) who was picked for the Bay of Plenty representative side in New Zealand in the Northern Districts T20 comp. They finished unbeatne but just lost out on run rate for the title. We were backing him to take the new ball ahead of fellow teammates and New Zealand players Trent Boult and Neil Wagner!. But...

Plus he has Captained his unbeaten side Cadets through to their Cup Final at the weekend and "will battle at the Tauranga Domain on 21st and 22nd December in the final".

We are happy to cover someone else next time! Let us know who should be next.
