ACT Comets all-rounder Vele Dukoski and spinner Shane Devoy did their chances of securing a professional contract no harm with standout performances in the Sydney Twenty20 competition. <\/p>\n
Dukoski smashed 56 off just 38 balls while Devoy picked up 5-19 as the Comets made it a perfect two from two on Sunday with a 53-run victory against Blacktown. <\/p>\n
That followed on from a four-wicket win against Penrith earlier in the day. <\/p>\n
The Comets entered the tournament to give their players exposure and hopefully secure a deal with either the Sydney Thunder or Sixers for the upcoming Big Bash League. <\/p>\n

Dukoski made the most of his chance to open the innings as the Comets posted 7-157 batting first, before Devoy took advantage of a pitch conducive to spin to restrict Penrith to 104 in reply. <\/p>\n
Comets coach Mark Higgs said both players took their opportunity to impress. <\/p>\n
\"Vele's batted up the order at club cricket, and with Jono Dean out injured at the moment, we gave him a chance to do that for us,\" Higgs said. <\/p>\n
\"And with Shane, he got the ball in good areas, the wicket was turning a little bit and they came hard at him.\" <\/p>\n
