long time reader, first time contributor. appreciate who ever did that side but would not have picked myself in any of the best 5 sides of the last 20 years i have floated around the ECA . Espically with guys like Wright, Aldons, Flintoff, Thompson, Harris , etc etc etc .. also pretty sure the old man has not mastered the internet. ... anyway good luck for what should be a great year of cricket in all grades (not just Dunstan)........
We are a week later than normal this season but with the weather over the last few days I don't like our chances. It will want to be dry all next week.
Someone buy this man a beer!!
For what it's worth, which probably isn't much, the best team for quality I think is (not in batting order):
Here here. OK what about this. Who are the top 5 CURRENT players in the comp under 25. Or pick a team of current players who are around that age or younger.
Laws from RC is a good bat and young, is skipper this year too I think.
Keogh's a Pom and Slacky, Miller, Hanson and Taylor aren't anywhere near 25.
We do play in a bit of an old mans comp but I would suggest there are plenty of blokes under 25 that are good contributors and aren't that well known and/or their stats don't stand out yet. Many of these players are improving little by little every year. If clubs can hold on to them and they don't decide to either go to a district club or spend friday nights on the booze then these are the players that can build an era of success at a club rather than ex premier players chasing coin.
Keogh was definitely a pom and won't be back.
Marcellin had a very good young player Luke Baker who made some good runs for them last year. Unfortunately he went back to Perth. Still seem to rely a lot on the evergreen John Dineen (pretty sure he is not under 25!!!!).
