Also was wondering who you all think would be the quickest and most accurate bowlers in the competition? In last years division 3 I would say James Hughes and Adam Gully from Enfield are pretty nippy, and Jonathan Turland of Brooklyn Park is accurate. Fred Jarrett from CM would be up there for pace as well.
How would young pidge fair?
Think your judgement is miles off, you would be quicker than then mr green. Hughes bowls pedestrian as does turland.
Jarrett is good but bowls too short and gully is consistantly the same boring line and length, no variation, no thought process.
I would say matt johnson (eastside) would be quickest from div 3 last season.
Crackers still bowls with nice pace as does holland and barnes. Bourke i think it is from fitzroy not too bad for pace and BB on a good day.
Vines (PV) has some pace behind him and being short is a tricky sort of length to play due to his good length being a fraction shorter than most..
You guys are going to be in for a shock this season if you think the players listed are sharp. Dutchy used to bowl with some good wheels and had a handy outswinger, Barnsey could've done with a run-up but could still send them down at a reasonable pace and Bourkey bowled with an excellent line and length and was very persistent, I wouldn't think that he was of the same pace as the 2 Paralowians though.
There would have to be 15 to 20 bowlers going around in the PDCA who are faster, you will be exposed to 1 maybe 2 of them this season. I think the Roos will win the flag if they can have everyone focussed for the whole season and not drop off once football pre-season gets underway.
Does Harey play cricket still carey?
Having faced all the opening Div1 bowlers with the new ball in this grade, there is nobody that is scary quick or of any concern. Crackers is a great bowl, i love his pace, but its not scary. I reckon Bourkey, and Stevie Smith in his day, would be the quickest. I reme,ber bowling with Oldman one CUSA game (the bastard had the wind) and he had turf in all sorts, and looked sharp. Never faced him though.
The PDCA bowlers know how to bowl short and , yes, probably quicker than some of our fellas. If you can pull the ball, plenty of runs...and maybe a ball wizzing past the ear in reply !!! It will be interesting to see what Paralowie have.....they have already bought some new life into this comp - so good on them!!
...christ, lets play already!!!
