Yeah, but the team is fucked by having a manager stuck in the 80s anyway. I mean they had everything going for them during the Premier 12 qualifying rounds. They had the home team advantage, they had top players from every club, Japan Korean and the US were in the other group… It was just tragic.
The 2013 WBC team was put together by the CPBL. I don’t know why this time CTBA got their hands on the ball, but I’m ready for an unpleasant WBC… more unpleasant than Premier 12.
