| This year Thurstan 1st XI has played 20 traditional & tournament matches before the big match. 8 of them has been tournament matches arranged by the Sri Lanka Schools Cricket Association. We have won 2 matches outright, 3 on the 1st Innings, one No decision because of rain & lost 2 outright, but still lead the group. From all the matches played we have won 3 matches out right, won 8 on 1st Innings, lost 4 outright and also 4 on 1 st Innings with 1 No decision Thurstan has had an indifferent season, mainly due to inconsistency of the batsman. Though there are 2 batsman scoring over 800 runs & one nearly 700 runs, only one batsman has an average of over 30. Thurstan has been heavily dependent on their spinner with Sachith Dias capturing 92 wickets almost doubling the his last year tally of 47 wickets.There are 2 other spinners who have captured 62 & 53. The 2 fast bowlers have not captured 30 wickets between them. This is also another reason for the lack of success. With a convincing 1st Innings win in the Mini Big Match and resounding 10 wicket win in the 50 over Limited over Encounter, Thurstan should go into the Big match with confidence to break the 18 year old hoodoo. |
