strategically, I though Dan Wolfe (although not official captain, but Grose had to run everything past him before he made a field change) was very good. Was very sharp, and managed to see the zones a batsman wanted to hit, and liked to score in, and cut these off. Especially, could provoke a get-out shot through a clever and not too-overt field setting - hallmark of a good capitano. Despite this, didn't have an answer to Richard Thomas' antics - who hit balls to places you just cant set fields. But clearly and intelligent kid. Kudos to you.

Having said that, witnessing his bowling and first-innings batting dismissal, it would be fair to say first XI cricket is not particularly important for him at current, or put simply - does not give a ********. To be fair though, why would you? all his mates from yr12 have left, he has done his duty in prior years and would be the end of a very long year for him.

His partying with sammy dunnel until 3 on wednesday morning also earns him extra kudos - this is particularly surprising as it seems sammy has found someone who he doesn't think is a complete toooooeeewwwlll (tool).

Dunnel's batting has been sub-standard this year - clearly the apprentice scheme didn't work out for grammar well - 3 knocks, 1 run at an average of 0.33 before being erradicated from MGS cricket after turning up to a summer holiday praccy game under the influence of a supreme amount of alcohol - kudos to you sammy. Lachy Gooley should captain MGS next year after emotionally breaking the news after the game that he will undertake an apprentice scheme (ala sam) where he will work at his father's cardboard-box factory and take 3 subjects. Moreover, it is TRUE that Keath is going to the AIS next year - not for softball, of course, but for basketball - he is a seriously good player. will also seek anger management classes whilst there, and attempt to seek solitude from taunts of V-Line voyage.

best post ive ever read
 
Re: Best Captain in the APS

Well obviously if you had the former APS Captain on your side, why not pick his brain? He obviously is a very accomplished captain and a great help to Grose. I think Consi or Shawy are the best skippers going around, but you'd have to say Shawy has it in the bag being a premiership captain and all.
