So I've been playing in a knockout youth cup the last few weeks and last night was the final. I was up against the number 1 team in the world and bowled first on a windy/dry pitch. Restricted them to 6 for 185, and then in the chase got there with 2.4 overs to go to win by 7 wickets :)

That sounds about right in terms of rating improvements per season ;)

Actually it sounds exactly right since that's exactly what happened...

I know? Just saying that from past experiences that is the usual jump I've seen from season to season?

Misunderstanding. The net sucks sometimes  :P

Will promote in YOD league in South Africa.  1st season here and up to Div 3 for next season.  I have given myself 2 seasons to promote from Div 3 to Div 2.  By then my 9 x 16yo will be 19 and give myself the best chance to promote to Div 1.  Once I am in Div 1 I believe I can stay there.

Well that's the plan anyway :)

Pretty conservative? knowing your quality of youth surely 9x 18yos could promote straight to div 1 :P
Or is SA youth system really strong?

[valkorum]

Ideally I promote from Div 3 next season and then get to have a crack for 2 seasons.  One with 9 x 18 an then again when they are 19

Alot of us from the garage association moved over to south Africa and have decent youth setups. Div 3 will get alot harder if you land with the wrong side

[valkorum]

Which is why I am giving myself 2 seasons to promote from Div 3 to Div 2.
