Bear (Rohan Merry) use to hit them into the tennis courts at Thomson quite regularly.
Big Feather hit one from St Albans onto boundary rd, and into the shop on the other side a few times.

Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)
The King batted all day that game.
For pure pace it would be Haper but i would prefer to face him over Anderton or Miller as they both are hard to pick up out of the hand, especially Miller who is quite whippy with his action and the ball skids on to you + you have got his enormous run-up to contend with, i bought an arm guard the night before the NDCC game. Haven't seen Marsland bowl for a couple years but he used to make batsmen jump all over the crease when we played school cricket.
Benci can send them down but isn't in the same ball park as those stated above.
Quicky has still got a good quicker one, he pinged me on the lid couple years ago.
Alford previously from North Geelong who is now down at Geelong bowls pretty good wheels these days also.
What about that bloke called Adam Di Giacommo who was from the Geelong region, think he plays VCA at North Melbourne now, some people say he used to send them down at some pace?
Biggest 6 i've seen in a game i've played in would be at Camberwell, Port Powers Travis Boak got hit a long long way. Over 40m high trees, over a road and deep into the cementary at Camberwell's 3rds ground.
Seen Cetkovic hit it into the Kindergarden at Thomson, Smelly hit Ando a long way in a 1 dayer at Manifold a few years ago also.

Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)
i remember when i was a little fellar, watching my dad play against alexander thomson. this is when we were still st mary's, not guild/st mary's so it's like, 11 or 12 years ago. brendan foresman made 210 not out against us, and he put one into the tennis court next to their ground.
we've seen a few balls go flying over the sheds at our ground. bouncing down the court haha. when steve alsop still played for us, he cleared west fyans st at training one day

Hits the ball as hard as anyone I've seen consistently, wasn't he in the NSW squad as a younger bloke at some stage? Not 100% on that though.

Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)
he was a bit before my time, i'm only 22 now. but from what i hear, he was a gun. i mean, he made an unbeaten 200 against us. fair enough, st mary's wasn't exactly a great team, but still, to make 200 coming in at probably 4 or 5, must of been a gun

I think Stevo had a stint with the Canberra side at some stage.
Mark Brady left his mark on a light tower at East Belmont one day. The ball was up there for months. Rumour was that it was still on the way up.
I played in a game of fourths at North where the highway was cleared.

Made a comeback about 3 years ago, but did his hamstring just about every week.
Plays golf now, I believe

thomson legend alex cetkovic hit someone for 6 at marshall one day that landed on the wicket at south barwon, fair tap[/QUOTE]
Could hit a ball the old Alex Cetkovic. Made a hundred against us before. How old would he be now?
