Captain Sam wanting wins

NEW ZEALANDER Sam Ferguson is expected to undertake his first captaincy stint at Murayfield/DAFS by leading the East League team into the latest Cricket Media indoor six-a-side tournament at the National Academy, Ravelston, tonight.

Murrayfield/DAFS have been drawn with Heriot’s and SMRH, with Ferguson keen to propel as many of the club’s 70-strong membership as possible to a higher level.

“We aim to rotate players in each of the games to give people a chance to bowl/bat against some of Scotland’s better cricketers,” said Ferguson.

“Last year we showed we could, at the very least, have a good crack at some of the big guns and are hoping to come away with a couple of wins.”
