Batsmen taking his sweet time to get ready at the crease...

Jamie Siddons: "FFS, it's not a Test Match!"
Batsmen: "Obviously not- you're here!"

Zing!

Another couple I thought of

Damien Wright
Jo Angel
James Brayshaw


Good call whoever mentioned Dene Hills- very consistent over many years- its easy to forget about the islanders

Bruce Reid......could/would have been anything ,effortless action
Mike Velletta..... professional tourist ... bravery and skill
Tim Zoehrer....class gloveman but did not fit into the team ethos Bob Simpson brought in (no critisism on Simpson by the way)
Peter Gladigau... driven into the ground by David Hookes by being used as a bowling pack horse not a thoroughbred
Tim May.........very classy bowler

Must disagree with the calls about Bruce Reid...
fantastic bowler, and never underrated...
Would've been one of the all-time greats if not for injuries...
Don't think he was ever underrated though... :?

I'm surprised noone else included Adam Dale in their list. I reckon he was a superb swing bowler and heavily underrated. Took bagfulls of wickets for Qld.

245 First class wickets at just over 20.5 a piece is sensational.

Should have played more International cricket.

on the subject of both Bruce reid and terry Alderman..........

terrible we never saw them complete there careers, both racked by injury and in the case of Alderman suspension due South African rebel tour.....sure if we would seen uninterrupted careers they could have gone down in the history books as some of the greats.........
