Absolute gun! Swings it both ways and gets it down at a fair pace, really nasty!

Staunton from Woodville/port Adelaide: Angry Red headed fella who gets massive white line fever.
Harrity in the nets.
Ryan Sawade at 13/14 was ridiculous. No-one should have been bowling that qwuick at that age.
Brett Swain was a wicket taking machine. Was abit young to see him in action much, but he seemed to get wickets every time he bowled.
Roger Dugan, The Senior Sea Cow, is the best bowler I've ever seen.

What day was that LOL. Na, seriously, Dwayne and I played a fair bit of cricket together, we used to bat 10 and 11 and open the bowling. Whenever our openers went in, we went and found the closest place to play 8 ball for a couple of hours.
He was very sharp on his day.

Could throw the ball from 10m over the boundary back to the keeper on the full.
Was a freakshow of a bowler. So fast at that age. So strong.

Faced DeFreitas in the PADC nets many moons ago too - sharp, but a complete space cadet.
