Best local strikers of a cricket ball you've seen!

[Phantom Gossiper]

Shane Scudds who used to play juniors at TTG then played Seniors at Modbury and now at Pt Districts hits the ball miles. not fun bolwing to him in the nets at all!

Agreed!! Played him in a couple of assoc matches and he hit BIG!! One time we dropped him 1st ball on 0 and he hit the next 5 balls for 6, finished with about 80 off not very many..

The ground was quite large as well..

Raed Hannun
Shaun Maguire
Ross (Craigmore)

By an absoulute mile, remember watching when i was a young lad and he was batting at the opposite end to the club rooms at Eastern Park and he put Mobbsey across Yorktown Road and into the carpark by the playground 'on the full' biggest hit i have ever seen. Rob Latrobe from Eastern Park and Playford can hit a massive ball especially with his 22 year old bat.

Gary Justin Tanunda and originally from the south east i think. very devastating opening batsman and not just a big hitter was also very hard to get out
Steve Grimley Nuri, another opening batsman, put one over the grandstand at nuri.
Craig Reimann Eudunda- Kapunda

[Wizard of Oz]

Mark Elliott ! AKA Super !

An unbelievable cricketer and for those who were around in the mid 80's/early 90's Para Districts vintage, you'd appreciate his cricketing skills. One of Salisbury West's finest....

I wouldnt argue he hits the biggest 6's I've seen but Heath Mackay from Keswick is one of the best 'strikers' of the ball I have seen. Only last match he hit a ton in 19 overs at the crease including 8 6's and 6 4's at one stage he looked like hitting 6 6's in an over. The game before he also hit a ton and managed to bust some poor point fielders finger. I'm sure the bloke from Sheidow with 3 pins in his finger and his arm in plaster would agree he can hit a ball.

Two from Berri. Danyal Reynolds, the bloke murders cricket balls and Mathew "Doc" Clifford, have seen him hit some towering sixes in his time.

ohhh brod i remember some clean hitting between you and i in a grand final some years ago was it a 9th wicket stand of 30 or 40 odd out of a total of 96? and we went on to win the game bowled them out for 87 after being 1/45 over night.

yep one of the best shots i have seen was against you blokes, that 6 thru cover, would normall say over cover but it didnt get much higher than the fielder and hit the tree which sounded louder than it did when he hit it..

have seen bomber put 2 in the one game over the train line at south gawler against turf in a cusa game.. hit 80odd off 30odd balls also in the same game for memory..

and adam just consistantly looks good and punishes the bad ball all the time.. and good balls if ya sledge him
