SWINDON captain Will Nichols is looking to complete the double over Colwall in this Saturday's home fixture.
The batting has a very settled look, and with Matt Baker coming into form really should be able to post a substantial total.
The captain himself batted impressively for Wiltshire last Sunday and the Baden twins have looked class players again this year, and they can help bring on the undoubted talent of young Tom Fox.
Darren Beasant will probably anchor the innings with Alan Cock giving solidity to the middle -order.
Pete Stinchcombe has been the bowling spearhead in recent weeks but the other bowlers are quite capable of raising themselves to his level and making life difficult.
As well as seamers Nichols, Hussain, Cock and Fox the captain can also call upon the fizzing spinners of Mo Zohaib.
With Blaine Norridge not able to play this week cricket committee chairman Nick Parkinson takes over the reins of the second eleven. Eight of his side are either at school or in further education, which bodes well for the club's future.
He will want older heads Andy Read and Magnus Painter to nurture some of the younger batsmen.
Pete Fullam looks like being the bowling work-horse, but youngster Dan Willis has bowled well all season.
Fourteen-year-old batsman Marc Williamson is in prime form and is promoted to the thirds where he should continue to impress. Phil Laggett leads the side and has a lot of experience in his batting line-up to help Williamson along on his debut for the side. On the bowling front the usual opening pairing of Sawyer and MacDonald is backed up by all-rounder Syed Rizwan and sixteen year old seam bowler Andy Phipps.
The fourth eleven have to tap the club's under 15s for a couple more players as the start of the school holidays impacts availability. Left arm swing bowler Phil Rogers comes in, as does batsman James Tatum.
On Sunday there is just one fixture, a Border League clash with Challow and Childrey.
