So we started the season ranked 41 in the world and by our results this season we have risen all the way to number 21 and find ourselves taking on the 8th ranked Philippines in the semi finals and 1 win from a final vs 7th ranked China and an automatic path to next season World Cup.
Only 3 times in history has Australia being able to make the final of the Asian Championship. Can this current squad who were looked upon at start of the season join the elite group of teams being able to make it to the final? It has been 4 seasons since the last time our young players made the final.
The team has 4 players who will join a even stronger side next season. Michael "The Duke" Wayne has been a day 1 starter this season and keeps getting better and could be the greatest 21 NT players in the world next season. His ongoing development under the Lewisham Wombats
(38600) system has been remarkable.
Christopher Birss has been in the side since day as a 20 year old also and seen time at the end of the bench this season. His experience will be a boost to the sides World Cup run next season.
Late additions to the side have been fellow 20 year old's Thimios Tsontas as SF who has come in and replaced one of our SF who has had some fitness issues. And even more recently big man Thad Sapwell joined the side and has been a welcomed addition as back up to "The Duke".
Tonight at 6pm these young men and then team mates can join the elite group of 21 NT sides to get this level of success. Don't miss this period in Australian BB history.
