Dedication players Kyle Moore and Chris Hope have made a last ditch effort to impress selectors and secure the No. 10 spot in the batting order for the first game. Hope organised to have a net session with Moore and the selection committee at Chaffey Secondary College late on boxing day in an attempt to quash rumours that Moore may have overtaken him in the batting order. According to reports, however, both batsmen put in solid performances in the nets, and the last minute net session has done nothing to subdue the speculation around the final batting lineup for game 1.
