The manager at Wellish fire, Mark Wallace says the Wellish fire has a good future. Although the team has been losing the games in the tournament. The manager looks very confident in his statement despite the poor performance of the team this year. In the tournament this year the side that was a part of men’s cricket lost all of its games that were played. However, the women’s counterpart had managed to win only 1 game out of all played this year.
Mark spoke on the rumors that were around that stated Fire’s moving out of Cardiff keeping in mind the poor performance. Cardiff was originally chosen to be the fire’s base before Bristol and Taunton were there
“I think the Welsh Fire’s long-term future in Cardiff is here to stay. The on-field performance is one thing but off-field is another and I think that has been brilliant. The games we have had here. Also, the atmosphere and diversity of the crowds are something we have not seen in Wales before. In the first season of the competition, we had restricted crowds. So to have those big crowds this year shows how important Welsh Fire is for cricket in Wales.”
“On the field, it was a wholly disappointing campaign. This can happen when we have a short period of time. We got on a bad run, especially with the men’s team. The women’s team played some good cricket and ended up getting beaten in some good games. This is still a new format and there are a lot of lessons to be learned. Sometimes the best players in T20 cricket are not necessarily the best in the Hundred format.”
What about the team’s big players?
The star player that was named on the side, didn’t play in the tournament because of commitments. On losing Bairstow this season. Wallace said
“It was a huge blow losing Jonny. He was the face of the team and we were hoping to have him for two or three games and that did not quite work out.”
