MATT HOPE: The larger than life skipper will be looking to be the first Lowerhouse player in the club's history to lift a trophy.

JONATHAN FINCH: A solid opener, who has scored more than 350 runs this season. A useful, economical bowler too.

VISHAL TRIPATHI: One of the league's best talents. The 16-year-old will open the batting, and much will rest on his young shoulders.Has scored five half-centuries this season.

CHRIS BLEAZARD: There are few better batsman at the crease when in form. Stepped up with a century in the semi-finals. Always delivers when it matters. The dangerman.

CHARLIE COTTAM: Wicketkeeper who is also a useful middle order batsman. Will be asked to contribute.

CHRIS BENBOW: A solid all-rounder who could hold the key for Lowerhouse. Good with the bat, and lethal with the ball - 40 wickets to date.

BEN HEAP: The story of the season. The youngster battled his way into side from the Seconds, and has never looked back. Averages an invaluable 17 runs per innings.

JOE BENEDUCE: Will offer valuable middle order support. Will hope the Lowerhouse faithful will be signing his name - just like the CD.

SAEED RIAZ: A solid first season for the spin bowler. Taken 18 wickets in 146 overs. Economy will be the key.

JEZ HOPE: Another Lowerhouse stalwart who deserves to lift silverware.

PETER FULTON: The New Zealand professional has been a big hit. Loves to swing the bat - he's scored 616 runs - and taken 29 wickets in the league.
