Adenham Bears
Media expectation: 7th overall
Captain: Dewayne Goolsby
Home ground: Old Moor, Salvador, (12,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: Hailing from a part of the country where cricket isn't the #1 sport, the Bears have modest expectations in their Grearish domestic cricket season. They call the cricket ground at Old Moor, a large meadow at the foothills of the Antane Mountains, their home with a maximum capactiy of 12,000 spectators.
Atheburn Lions
Media expectation: 10th overall
Captain: Brady Byerley
Home ground: Atheburn Oval, Atheburn, (72,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The Lions represent the National Capital Region of Atheburn, and are known to be very bowling-heavy with most of the talent that comes through from the Lions being bowlers and the majority of the squad consisting mainly of bowlers. This strenth, however, leaves obvious gaps in other areas that other teams will only be happy to exploit.
Chicaster Clarets
Media expectation: 6th overall
Captain: Taryn Eslick
Home ground: Auburn Hill, Edgenorth, (30,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The Chicaster state is represented by the Clarets, who play out of Auburn Hill in Edgenorth, that sees a crowd of up to 30,000 at its maximum, epecially when the Clarets are demolishing the opposition on a Sunday afternoon.
Elesborough Everblades
Media expectation: Championship
Captain: Elridge Suprenant
Home ground: Southgate Park, Plibury, (42,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The Everblades do not have the strongest cricket heritage behind them, as they try to conquer the world from the IT hub that is Plibury: but they do have determination and resilience, which make them top contenders for this year's domestic cricket season in the Grearish Union. They will be evidently hard to beat, as the bookmakers believe, but maybe not impossible to knock a few points off of.
Forsho Rangers
Media expectation: 9th overall
Captain: Son Scopes
Home ground: Alcette Park, Forsho, (5,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The Forsho Rangers were born out of the severe need to separate the Valgow State and the Forsho City due to the increasing political disputes about things cricket should not be concerned with. This separation meant the creation of a sort of 'derby' between the Rangers and the Valgow Bulls. The metropolitan team sees less crowds at 5,000 owing to their important city jobs, while their State rivals enjoy much higher amounts of support.
Glomridge Magpies
Media expectation: 5th overall
Captain: Monty Birt
Home ground: Stade Rose, Urdsall, (25,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The highlanders from Urdsall are called the Magpies as a tribute to the state bird and the abundance of the magnificent creatures in the area. They play in the picturesque Stade Rose in Urdsall when at home, making for a promising show when combined with the good quality cricket that should see them ending mid-table at the end of the season.
Grearish Railways
Media expectation: 3rd overall
Captain: Osvaldo Cullison
Home ground: Railway Sports Complex, Atheburn, (8,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The Grearish Railways are an important part of the domestic setup, mostly due to the fact that they are also an employer aside from the cricket. The team ensures employment of the players representing them in the Corbett Cup and the Letterman Trophy. This makes playing the team a lucrative thing in uncertain times in terms of job availabilty.
Grearish Services
Media expectation: 8th overall
Captain: Gita Teter
Home ground: Defence Sports Complex, Atheburn outskirts, (4,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The bravehearts in the Defence forces of Grearia represent themselves in the Services team. This team consists of mostly service-personnel in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Internal Securities. Any other players signed on are ensured a stable job in one of the many Defence organisations, which makes playing for Services a matter of economic and social gains too, beyond the reaches of cricket.
Manta Islanders
Media expectation: Championship
Captain: Taylor Kincheloe
Home ground: Waterfront Oval, Colk, (25,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The Islanders are thought to be one of the strongest contenders for most championships, with a deep-rooted affinity and heritage of playing cricket, as well as proper investments being made in to infrastructure and player development throughout the stage. Manta is going to be one of the teams to beat, according to the bookmakers.
Valgow Bulls
Media expectation: 7th overall
Captain: Alexandria Starkweather
Home ground: Adam Garden, Forsho, (60,000)
First-class status: N/A
Championships:
About: The pressure will be sky-high on the young Alexandria Starkweather aged just 19, as she leads the Valgow Bulls charging into the first season. 60,000 hearts at the Adam Garden willbe waiting to roar, but the critics say otherwise, giving them a lowly 7th in expectation. It remains to be seen whether the predictions can be accepted or dismissed, but the ride shall definitely be worth it.

Adenham Bears
Media expectation: Mediocre (overall)
Captain: Dewayne Goolsby
Home ground: Old Moor, Salvador, (12,000)
First-class status: Plate
Championships: None
About: Hailing from a part of the country where cricket isn't the #1 sport, the Bears have modest expectations in their Grearish domestic cricket season. They call the cricket ground at Old Moor, a large meadow at the foothills of the Antane Mountains, their home with a maximum capactiy of 12,000 spectators.
Preview: Finishing 5th in the Premier T20, last in their group in the Letterman Trophy, and getting knocked out in the Corbett Cup quarterfinals rounded out what was a dismal campaign for the Bears. Stars Dewayne Goolsby and Miriam Dodds found themselves frequently in and out of the national side, while Zachary Charlton, the Sylestonean, didn't find the form. This season, the Bears are expected to provide yet another mediocre performance, especially from the depths of the Plate Group that they will find themselves in, for the First-Class competition.
Atheburn Lions
Media expectation: Championship (T20), Mediocre (overall)
Captain: Brady Byerley
Home ground: Atheburn Oval, Atheburn, (72,000)
First-class status: Plate
Championships: None
About: The Lions represent the National Capital Region of Atheburn, and are known to be unpredictable. WIth a solid following of devoted fans, the Lions are a traditional hub of cricketing activity and the pulse of all things that scream Grearish cricket.
Preview: Season 1 had been a season to forget for the Lions, with them finishing last in their group in the Letterman Trophy. Starting from the Plate group this season would be an increased headache for an already ailing unlimited overs team. The limited overs' scenario looks much better, with national team wicket-keeper Brady Byerley leading the team out to the field in the CLT20.
Chicaster Clarets
Media expectation: Championship (overall)
Captain: Daniel Fomleya (Sylestone)
Home ground: Auburn Hill, Edgenorth, (30,000)
First-class status: Elite
Championships: Premier T20 (1)
About: The Chicaster state is represented by the Clarets, who play out of Auburn Hill in Edgenorth, that sees a crowd of up to 30,000 at its maximum, epecially when the Clarets are demolishing the opposition on a Sunday afternoon.
Preview: Daniel Fomleya was roped in as the biggest surprise of the season, by the Chicaster Clarets as the captaincy was snatched from Taryn Eslick. The Sylestone national side had been led by Fomleya for quite some time now, bringing the national team up through the ranks in international cricket. Even though the skipper would lead the opposition out against the Black Dolphins in East-West Cups and the like; he is now well and truly the skipper of the defending PremierT20 champions. Expectations are high from him, Monteane, Eslick in the batting departments, while international-capped Palin and Ponder will look to bring stability in the bowling attack. Clarets have always been high-flyers in the circuit, and it is clear that they will have no plans for that to change anytime soon.
Elesborough Everblades
Media expectation: Championship (overall)
Captain: Elridge Suprenant
Home ground: Southgate Park, Plibury, (42,000)
First-class status: Elite
Championships: Letterman Trophy (1), Corbett Cup (1)
About: The Everblades do not have the strongest cricket heritage behind them, as they try to conquer the world from the IT hub that is Plibury: but they do have determination and resilience, which make them top contenders for each domestic cricket season in the Grearish Union. They have traditionally always been hard to beat, but maybe not impossible to knock a few points off of.
Preview: Elridge Suprenant has led the side to glory time and time again in the last season, under his very able leadership. Winning both the List-A Corbett Cup, and the First Class Letterman Trophy has solidified their spot in the cricketing scene as one of the strongest contenders in Grearish cricket. This season, the team will be looking towards improving a rather weak T20 department as well as building on their First Class and List-A successes. Stacy Paiz and Drusilla Scruggs will be the other players to look out for, having already been capped for the Black Dolphins.
Forsho Rangers
Media expectation: Lowly (overall)
Captain: Son Copes
Home ground: Alcette Park, Forsho, (5,000)
First-class status: Plate
Championships: None
About: The Forsho Rangers were born out of the severe need to separate the Valgow State and the Forsho City due to the increasing political disputes about things cricket should not be concerned with. This separation meant the creation of a sort of 'derby' between the Rangers and the Valgow Bulls. The metropolitan team sees less crowds at 5,000 owing to their important city jobs, while their State rivals enjoy much higher amounts of support.
Preview: The question that the Rangers will need to answer this season from Alcette Park is based mostly on the premise of 'how much more?' An ageing Son Copes is still leading the side out to the field everytime, with only the Sylestonean in Sean Polen as his respite from the overarching burden of responsibilites. Elva Heffington has also seen some national team action in her time, but her form seems to have dropped off a little bit since then. Destiny may only have the Plate group written against their name, and the challenge is to prove that wrong. Yet, the Rangers seem hardly prepared.
Glomridge Magpies
Media expectation: Mediocre (overall)
Captain: Monty Birt
Home ground: Stade Rose, Urdsall, (25,000)
First-class status: Plate
Championships: None
About: The highlanders from Urdsall are called the Magpies as a tribute to the state bird and the abundance of the magnificent creatures in the area. They play in the picturesque Stade Rose in Urdsall when at home, making for a promising show when combined with good quality cricket.
Preview: Crashing out of the Letterman Trophy must have been mighty difficult, but the Highlanders braved through that phase with strong List-A performances to see themselves through into the Corbett Cup semi-finals and the PremierT20 playoffs where they booked an eliminator berth. There still isn't a ton of expectation from a side who aren't known to exactly overacheive too much.
Grearish Railways
Media expectation: High (First-class), Mediocre (overall)
Captain: Osvaldo Cullison
Home ground: Railway Sports Complex, Atheburn, (8,000)
First-class status: Elite
Championships: None
About: The Grearish Railways are an important part of the domestic setup, mostly due to the fact that they are also an employer aside from the cricket. The team ensures employment of the players representing them in the Corbett Cup and the Letterman Trophy. This makes playing the team a lucrative thing in uncertain times in terms of job availabilty.
Preview: The national skipper finds himself leading the Grearish Railways once again. Him being a second-generation employee of the Railways corporation helps, but probably not as much as his leadership abilities. An entirely Grearish side looks up to the national captain in the team, who might not be the most amazingly gifter cricketer, but is certainly a gifted tactician. The experience of young national-team prospects like Marni Passman and new entries in Wilber Schisler make this team an exciting prospect.
Grearish Services
Media expectation: Lowly (overall)
Captain: Gita Teter
Home ground: Defence Sports Complex, Atheburn outskirts, (4,000)
First-class status: Plate
Championships: None
About: The bravehearts in the Defence forces of Grearia represent themselves in the Services team. This team consists of mostly service-personnel in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and Internal Securities. Any other players signed on are ensured a stable job in one of the many Defence organisations, which makes playing for Services a matter of economic and social gains too, beyond the reaches of cricket.
Preview: In what would be wicket-keeper-batsman Wei Morello's final shout at domestic cricket glory, skipper Gita Teter will be put under considerable pressure to handle talented youngsters like Nethercott and Merrill in their effort to do at least a little better than their last outing. The lowly depths of the Plate group will provide for a considerable challenge in the First-class Letterman Trophy, but it is perhaps for these difficult situations that our soldiers train themselves for!
Manta Islanders
Media expectation: High (first-class), Average (overall)
Captain: Taylor Kincheloe
Home ground: Waterfront Oval, Colk, (25,000)
First-class status: Elite
Championships: None
About: The Islanders are thought to be one of the strongest contenders for most championships, with a deep-rooted affinity and heritage of playing cricket, as well as proper investments being made in to infrastructure and player development throughout the stage. Yet, they have been nowhere close to expectation in List-A and T20 formats.
Preview: The very stylish taylor Kincheloe is in charge of the Islanders' campaign this season as well, with the 18-y/o lackland Edwards continuing his effort in trying to get back to international cricket. Brendon Corrie will be an important linchpin in the side, having recently broken into the national team and is also in considerably good form. For this season, Manta will be looking to build on their First Class success, while also trying to make inroads into the List-A and T20 competitions.
Valgow Bulls
Media expectation: Mediocre (overall)
Captain: Alexandria Starkweather
Home ground: Adam Garden, Forsho, (60,000)
First-class status: Elite
Championships:
About: When Alexandria Starkweather leads the bull-charge into the field, 60,000 hearts at the Adam Garden willbe waiting to roar, in anticipation of what the state team could offer, especially in a derby-like situation against the Forsho Rangers. Victories in such matches become the centre of jubilation for the suburbs and small cities that the state team represents, while a Forsho win brings gloom.
Preview: It is generally accepted that the Bulls' side has always been traditionally average - not only in a way of being harsh, perhaps, but also in some form og a compliment. With great talents like Alexandria Starkweather, Numbers Benedetto and Temeka Pippin who find themselves frequently in the national side, the Bulls should really do better. A playoff spot in the last PremierT20 was the only achievement that the Bulls could muster for themselves, but that won't be enough to become an Elite first-class force to be reckoned with. An average season stares Valgow in the face and possibly even relegation from the First Class Elite group.
