Buildnut Cape Cobras veteran Justin Ontong says he believes that they are ready to go into the upcoming T20 Challenge with a fresh approach following off the field incidences that have visibly affected their Sunfoil Series Four-Day Challenge form. With the Cobras coach Paul Adams under fire facing a CCMA case to keep his occupation, Ontong still believes there is a lot to play for when darning on the Cobras jersey irrespective of what is happening in the boardroom. Ontong, one of the senior players who came out behind Adams after the misconduct case surfaced reaffirmed his support for the Cobras mentor. The former Proteas T20 players says that it is more important to continue playing and bonding as a team at this stage with everything happening off the field, he also highlighted a number of young and older players who are back and need to be watched by the other franchises in the competition. Proteas and Bizhub Highveld Lions left arm spinner Aaron Phangiso believes that the Lions are in a good space this season ahead of the T20 Challenge starting with a double header at the Bidvest Wanderers on Saturday November 12. The Cobras take on the VKB Knights in the first semifinal with the Lions facing defending champions Titans in the evening game. Phangiso says they Lions have a lot to prove this season on the back of last season’s match fixing scandals.
