Typically this is a strong fixture so we need to be on our mettle. Game faces on and all that jazz.

A chance to dazzle those who work in the markets with our own algorithms and forecasts.

My forecast is an HAC win by 4 wickets with Jones - Gentleman Cricketer and sporting event junkie, caressing a 50, Casey putting on a batting masterclass, and McClosky beguiling with left arm swing.

We cannot however end a forecast without stating that Caviet will score the winning runs (as is often the case).

There you have it. If all forecasts rang true cricket would be as dull as football.

See you for a 1pm prompt start.
