Lindsay is interesting as he has not played much GCA cricket. Will be interesting to see how he goes after a full year back in the comp. At the end of the year might need to see how this post stacks up.

Scott is a quality bat. Results last year were not them of the best player in the competition. You have to be from City or Leopold to rate him the best.
Alf looked the best bat I saw last year. I do not think you can look past him for best player in the competition. How long can this run making machine keep going for?
 
Re: Geelong Cricket '08/'09(gca/bpca)

Div 1 (ie best in Geelong)


Most Underated: Gareth Yelland: His day in the sun is approaching
Most Overated: Damian Koliba: Not sure why he still bothers
Best: Brad Hauenstein: Can't go past him for consistency and achievement

Div 2

Most Underated: Steve Illingworth: Makes runs, takes wickets consistently
Most Overated: Matt Barkley/ Lucas Cameron
Best: Lucas Benci. At present. Has had a good coule of seasons. Would be good to see him back up in Div 1 at some stage.

Not sure if I agree with that. Didn't South bat in the evening of the first day with only about an hour of play on an overcast day. I reckon most teams would not want their best bat to go out in the middle while only chasing a smallish total. Not sure if the great Glen Talarico has actually played in a GCA grand final, and as for Lofty if his side was in that situation it would not be einstein to stop him from going in. If the other South bats that went in on the first night had of done their job then this discussion would have been over. :)

Why did Brad bat at 6 in the biggest game of his career after batting 4 all year? Would never have seen Loftus or Talarico hide.

Right Arm Medium I know for a fact that YOU have respect for him, so don't start with this dribble. Your not that sort of guy, your better than that!!

i dont know wether to take you seriously or not sharkbite. are you really a city groupie or a shit taker. you cant be serious with your selections.
pitts should be in the overated category. andertons a big goose but a super bowler. port has found that hes only a div 2 player.
the only 1 i half agree with there is salta.
im surprised you havent put the donut king in as the best

not sure if you would class the guy that lead the GCA country week sides bowling honours last season as over-rated. Sure he could possibly be better than what he was if he was fully fit but over-rated, no.

i think that at the end of the year we will find that scotty lindsay will be in the top 2 or 3 run makers.
and the donut king will be in the top 10

Fair call.... except that he did not come in at 5 after about 5 or 6 overs on the second day.
I do believe that Grovedale however sent their best bat in to open the batting, after losing the toss. I think he had a good game?

Harper just for his pace!!! Nothing beats a quality bolwer bowling express.
Agg would be the smartest bowler going around. Was always thinking many balls a head of the next one he was about to bowl. Very skillful. But as Babies Arm has noted, he did get a bit of help from umpires!!!

Lets hope your not a City fella as I know most of them pretty bloody well. None of them carry on about as much rubbish as you do and as I said, they aren't to happy that you are carrying on the way you do about City! But, they are your thoughts and that is what the forum is for.

il 2nd that. got me lbw with a delivery that pitched a foot outside leg at richmond cresent a few years back that was laughable. also got me on a very questionable lbw when he was young. i know we all get roughies but he does seem to be on the right end of some very dodgy ones

is a very smart bowler though.fires them in straight then throws in the big inny

I am not sure how often any team on the 1st day would actually move their opener (who pretty much opens all his life) down the order in a grand final. It may be feasible to do this on the evening of the 1st day, but it would not even be dreamt of in the 1st innings of a match. In saying that Kelson was the major difference between the two sides and scoring 80 odd out of 120 had to be one of the highest percentage of a team total that has ever won a grand final. Maybe need to get Mr Stat's man of the GCA Kevin O'Dowd onto that one!!
