Some of these are serious, some are a laugh, I'll let you guys figure it out

Best played with...

Steve Thurbon ( just a gun )
Stewie Whitehouse ( the white West Indian )
Anthony Klittogiannis ( his leg spin could have been anything )

Against...

Steve "The Bull" Matchett ( as quick as any going around on his day and a fierce competitor )
Shane George ( obvious reasons )
Chris "Cat" Walton ( dislike left handers )
Robbie Christianson ( as above and he was a lunatic ) Good bloke though...

How many of you guys faced Shaun Tait in his real early days?

The only thing that hated your bowling was the clubroom roof....

i didnt face Tait but i faced Mark Harrity before he played FC, was a scary proposition as he had no idea where they were going, he bowled one Harmison like to the gully fieldsman.
Corey Roberts

faced ryan harris but after him maybe luke paterson

It was an education in itself.
I learnt a whole new language, conflict resolution and worked out my parentage.

Aaron Galvin and Tarque Willimson would be the quickest ive seen in the hills
Maybe Stu Hanson in his day

Or the fielder retrieving the ball from the river

Why does the name Trevor Bailey sound familiar? Was he in Churches or PDCA?? Or is my fading memory tricking me?

Yep been there done that, mostly in juniors but was still scary as hell then.

Tarque Williamson was/is a nutter. This thread might mention blokes like Tait & Harrity etc. but T.W. is still the only bloke i know who was never trying to get you out but wanted to hit or kill you. Nearly had him at M.P,C.C. 5 years ago. Imagine the damage he & Michael Thomas could have done on hard wicket. All batsmen in ASCA owe me a beer!
