As far as tonight goes he was just fine but he was a Birmingham rider just a few seasons ago in the NL so I suspect this will easily be his best away performance. Agree,his average is certainty mainly due to his home form.Etheridge is the same home form keeps his average semi decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BackstaightBandit 38 Posted June 21, 2023 Fantastic effort from the whole 1-7 tonight, I couldn’t fault a single one of their efforts despite a couple scoring below par they certainly deserved more. The remodelled Birmingham team certainly looks a force if Batchelor keeps his form like tonight. It sets up well for us to take the aggregate bonus point though with only 6 points the deficit, every point will be crucial if we are to surge in to the playoffs as expected. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
