Hartlett - 450 runs
Krutli - 375 runs
Gross (c) - 250 runs
Rossi - 300+ runs and 20 odd dismissals as keeper.
Moller - 150 runs and 20 wickets in 6 games
Stanley - 30+ wickets. He's returned now but missed the whole of last year.
Big losses from one season to the next, not over a 6 year period!!
Talking about this year's side i thought and the changes from your premiership side.
Hartlett has been replaced by his brother so theres a like for like i guess!
From the last two premierships, 3 years apart, we had J,M and D Whenan, M. King, K.Wild, and C. Allen that i can think of that were different, aswell as T.Fiebiger who was 12th man. The people that were far better cricketers then the ones that replaced them.
I think both clubs have lost a fair bit, but as Big Cat said, the strength of our juniors are a real testement as to how WYC have not missed the finals of Section 1 for 9 years.
The inconsistency of South Road over the past couple of years have been rather interesting, and somewhat dumbfounding. Wouldnt be a bad thing for them nor the competition if they go down to section 2 and Belair come up IMO.
