Now the Rangers host Caloundra as table leaders in the last fixture round, knowing that a win should provide the former and momentum for the latter. His side has that mixture of youth, experience and talent in its prime, from the 300 plus games of Jeremy Schultz, with an unbeaten 141 last round adding to 7000-odd others, to the emergence of young bowler Jett Taylor as a force with his initial five-wicket haul. Taylor shares the new ball with the top-shelf Steve Heise, and the off-pace variety of Heath Fischer and Joel Owen completes the depth of the attack. Tim Taylor, Ricky Sawyer and match-winner Dan Cahill follow their elders to complete the strong top five batting. ....
His side resumes at 5/110, and fine weather will already have eased any disappointment at not having gained the lead on day one. Unbeaten on 65 himself, he has to decide how long the Snakes will bat on to maximise the chances of a much needed outright win. The extra points may lift Caboolture into third place, and a last-round win over second placed Tewantin could even snatch a valuable second position if the cards fall nicely. Tewantin had the same decision last round, and batted on for 12 overs to post an eighty-odd lead, only for the Sharks to bat out the day to 7/185 in a gutsy display. ....
Each meets bottom-four sides in the final two rounds, meaning any points difference from this clash could be hard to mend. Maroochydore has displayed marked improvement in its batting aggression of late, after early season dependence on a dominant bowling squad. Callum Stitt and Zak Willox join skipper Blaine Schloss in the top ten 2-day run-getters, and each displays a different approach to his craft, a healthy attribute in any team, though the rest of the order lag well behind. Maroochydore s Blaine Schloss. Picture: Patrick Woods Dan Cahill plays a huge role in the Rangers’ batting outcomes, and has Jeremy Schultz plus Liam Moffett as experienced back-up. ....
The Thunder would love to continue a bumper season by heading the competition into 2021 after securing the T20 premiership, and victory would do that, plus add a little more security to the lead on a ladder congested at the top. Glasshouse are under two points behind, with wins by Maroochydore and Caboolture enough to scramble ahead of the loser of the top two clash, a change demonstrated by Caboolture’s demotion from first to fourth after last weekend. Little separates the sides, with Steve Heise and Heath Fischer leading strong back-up from Joel Owen and Jett Taylor with the ball for the Rangers, while Tom Freshwater and Scott Aufderheide, supported by Jarrod Officer and Dom Taylor, have served the Thunder well. ....
