THE BIGGEST match to date of the 2007 Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) Super Cup season is on at Kirkvine Sports Club in Manchester today.

It pits leaders and former champions Manchester against Melbourne, starting at 10:00 a.m.

Manchester (16 points) and Melbourne started last week's seventh round in joint third position on 10 points each, but following Manchester's outright win, they are the favourites for at least first-innings points.

Manchester, with leading runscorer Donovan Sinclair - who hit 101 against Lucas in the second round and Gary Graham, who scored a century against Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) last week, Domain Sangster, Matthew Sinclair, Gary Graham and Jeffery Scott, are capable of batting Melbourne out of the game.

Bowling department

The bowling department, which last weekend enjoyed its best game against JDF, will once again be led by Neive McNally, who has taken more than 20 wickets, left-arm spinner André Dwyer, Sangster, Donovan Sinclair and David Powell.

As for Melbourne, their captain Carlton Baugh is expected to lead the batting with support from Damion Henry, Damion Jacobs, Yanick Elliott and Llewellyn Meggs.

In the bowling, left-arm pacer Leon Bent, Jacobs, Elliott and Dwayne Cooper could prove competitive.
