A Catch up with Josh Little
We caught up with Josh Little, our 1st XI captain and spoke to him about the start to the college season and how he feels things are going.
How was cricket week?
The two games in cricket week for the first team were both successful outings, winning comfortably against two strong sides in Leeds Beckett University and Sedbergh school. These fixtures allowed us to kick start our season in the positive way we want to play our cricket.
What were you most pleased with?
The way the first years have come into the team and have made an impact in key moments with bat and ball has pleased me the most over the first few weeks of the season.
Did you take any of the games as deep as you wanted to?
Taking games as deep as possible was a goal of my mine at the start of the season which i feel we have achieved so far, especially in a tight game with Myerscough Preston where chasing on a tough wicket needed us to take calculated risks at the right times which ultimately allowed us to get over the line and reach the North West final which we will play in a few weeks time.
What are the plans for the T20 cup?
In the T20 cup our next objective is to win the North West final which we failed to progress through last year in a tight game against Sedbergh School.
Any stand out performances?
In the first few weeks of the season, performances with the bat from C. Hodge, Massey and Stock have stood out with match winning innings. Also, the opening bowling attack of Hunter and A. Hodge have made a good partnership and picked up vital wickets up front with Johnson following up with some match winning spells
What are you looking forward to this season?
The t20 North West final is one game that we as a team are looking forward to playing in with hopes of progressing through that round and representing the college in the regional rounds.
Any team or individual targets?
For the rest of the season, we as a team are looking to continue our winning run while also progressing in both the t20 and one day competitions.
