Best player?? Debatable. A good player yes.
Well then present your case norm11.. I'm with the great man Froffies on this one..
Troy is good no doubt. But really how do you judge best player? because we have guys like Shane Mcnair, and Phil Neil who i would rate as better bats and better in the field but obviously dont have bowling in the repertoire apart from the occasional part time stint. I would rate Adam Smith has performed better with the ball for a number of years and is more than useful with the bat and again is a better fielder than Troy in my belief. Fantasia is a similar sort of batsmen to Troy, likes to get on with it and both are well capable of putting away the best bowling attacks but Fanta doesnt bowl but then again he does keep which is surely just as important? Fanta didnt score the weight of runs Troy did but over the last 3 years or so i would reckon they have scored a similar total of runs in total across the 3 years, and anyone whos saw Fantas 150odd vs Craigmore would be brave to say he isnt the quality of Troy with the bat.
Troy would be good in any side. wasted in div 3. But certainly not indispensable nor is he irreplaceable. Other guys will step into that role and do just as good a job i think.
