Good side, only changes i would make would be Ben McMullen in and M.Bennetts out reason being bowling average is only 1 run different, strike rate is almost identical and Benny is a much much better batter and fielder than Bennetts. Also in a struggling side i would reward Adrian Grigouls season by making him 12th man. His keeping has been outstanding in the two games we have played them as well.
Also if this side was actually playing in a game i would have Danny Masefield in who has taken 20 wickets at an average of 12 and economy of 2.50, would also be the perfect foil to the other bowlers.
I don't agree with you, 31 wickets is 26% more than 23, Bennetts for mine, there's enough all-rounders already.
Hey snappy! is there a keeper in your list? I think Grigs deserves a berth given his batting record and the amount of pressure he has on him with wickets tumbling around him. I'd take him ahead of Williamson.
As good as I think Ian is and will be, take out his stats against OTH and they aren't that flattering 134 runs @ 12.2 with the bat, 9 wickets @ 18.2 with the ball.

Edge would be the keeper in the side Snappy named but Grigoul would be a worthy inclusion imho.
Can you see your point with Bennetts vs McMullen, in a team of the year i can see how Bennetts gets in, if you were actually playing against that side, i would much rather face Bennetts from both ends than McMullen from one end.

There's no right or wrong answers, I do agree with what you are saying but on the same token you'd have to go with the stats IMO.
Besides, I have a soft spot for young Bennetts, ripped into me when I hit him for 5 successive 4's, good lad and I love his enthusiasm.

Agree he was one of the very very very very few good lads in the Salisbury North side, love the way he swings the willow when in bat. Hard to face as well as his action never stays the same two balls in a row.

He was a very sharp 15 year old, seen him bowl a ball on Uley#2 that missed everything including the keeper and rolled down Jacaranda Drive a fair way.

I could imagine![]()
Salisbury North have provided one of my very few highlights this year.
In round 2 we played them at our ground, we won the toss and batted, after about about 5 overs me and the other opener Nugget were on about 35-40. I was at the non strikers end and Kyle Parks says to Bennetts 'if we lose to these kids im never playing cricket again' Bennetts replies 'me too.'
We went on to win by over 200 runs, Parks was kind of true to his word and only played one game after while Bennetts has played every game since.

Kyle would only be 19 and Matty 18 tops.

Can you see your point with Bennetts vs McMullen but remembering Bennetts has bowled 30.5% more overs to get those extra 26% wickets.![]()
