Ciallella and Colts eye Egan Park success

In-form spin king Cruize Ciallella will get his turn at creating mayhem at Egan Park on Saturday morning, as top-two hopefuls Colts travel to Donnybrook. A number of spinners have secured big bags of wickets at Donnybrook’s home of cricket so far this season and Colts skipper Josh Topliss is grateful his teammate will have an opportunity to emulate their efforts. “Obviously, we always look forward to seeing Cruize bowl on any wicket — but especially on wickets which are more conducive to spin. “It will be good to see if he can work some of his magic. “We were not sure if he was going to be playing at one stage, but it looks like he is going to be in now, which is good.” Topliss has recovered from a nasty hamstring injury he suffered prior to the Christmas break and is keen to return to the middle on Saturday. “I will definitely be back,” he said. “Adrian Abbott (calf injury) is still likely to return at the end of January or early February, as his was pretty bad., “I am itching to get back as I have missed a lot of cricket over the last couple of months. Hopefully we are able to get a win prior to country week.” Play begins at 10am.
