and he’ll be an asset again as an U11 next season. Another player who sets high standards for himself and his team mates, when he channels that in a positive way it pays off every time.
Gerry - Bowling Award
Gerry’s bowling accuracy is immense, once the pace kicks in the batters will have to watch out! He puts the hours in in the nets (and in the back garden to the detriment of mum’s bottle brushes!) and he supports his teams mates week in and week out during the match and in training too. His batting game is coming on, and his read of the game is too thanks to endless hours watching BBL and old cricket highlights. Watch out U11s!
White
A fantastic season enjoyed by all. The team was a mix of four rookies, and five seasoned pros, who combined to record four wins, a draw, and several very close losses. And now, in alphabetical order, the end of season awards...
Aidan: The second most economical bowler this season, some sharp fielding, and an entertaining batting style earns Aidan the ‘Big Show’ Glen Maxwell award. While not yet an official cricket statistic, he easily attempted the most ramps and reverses this season, making him the front runner for the Sam Konstas award as well.
Aiden: Enjoyed his rookie year. Took plenty of wickets bowling like Shaun the Wild Thing Tait and finished the season scoring over 150 runs at the third best average. Having done all that, he now just wants to be a wicketkeeper, so he gets the Alex Carey award.
Arjun: Almost unplayable when he lands those leggies. Finished the season with the best bowling strike rate, plenty of bamboozled opponents, and easily wins the Adam Zampa award.
Ethan: Dominated attacks this year with a combination of stylish strokes and blistering running between the wickets. The team notched up 12 individual innings of 20+ runs this season, of which Ethan scored half of them. He therefore wins the Steve Smith award. Combined with his top-notch bowling and sharp fielding, he is also the front-runner for the award named after Australia’s greatest allrounder – the Ellyse Perry (shame on anyone who thought it would be called the Shane Watson).
Harry: Another rookie this season, Harry improved with every game. Equalled the most catches taken in the field, including two off his own bowling. As a tidy medium-quick bowler, and the owner of the single most cracking pull shot played this season, Harry gets the Mitch Marsh award.
