Brentwood captain Aaron West is confident his side are strong enough to take on Northern in the ECB National Club Championship final, even without Aussie star Jordan Silk.
The Tasmanian batter has made more than 1,100 runs this season, including an unbeaten 73 to see his side over the line in the semi-final against Bath.
But he will be 10,000 miles away from Worcester’s New Road when they line up for the final.
West said: “We always knew Jordan would be unavailable for the final, so I said to him, you get us there and we’ll get the job finished.
“He’s been pretty instrumental in our run, now it’s our job to get us over the line.”
Brentwood finished second in the Essex League and are unbeaten since July, so opening batter West has plenty of reason to be feel confident.
He admits the opposition are a bit of an unknown quantity, but has done his research on YouTube.
He added: “The teams seem fairly well-matched – we’ve got two left-arm spinners, like they have, and a left-arm seamer too.
“It looks like both teams try to be really positive in the power play.
“From what I’ve seen, it looks like it could be an even contest and I’m looking forward to it. “These days don’t come around very often so we’re all just looking to enjoy the moment, play competitive cricket and hopefully bring the trophy home.”
