Who is the best Batsman / Keeper in Adelaide Turf

what bout the bloke from ingle farm?? only problem is shot selection in the games ive played against him

Warwick Potts (goodwood) has to go close. Not the best keeper, no doubt, but opens the batting in premier grade and the man can hit a ball.

Career Stats: 6000 runs

This season: 559 runs @ 37.5
Last Season: 721 runs @ 51

According to the turf website he has 289 runs in premier grade this season ?

Not seeing the competition for a while, I'd have to say Christophers from Grange.

In just over half a season, 7 games.

Has played A3 out of choice in the last season or two but can bat. I havent seen many of the other keepers, just throwing his name in there. Christophers numbers are pretty good also.

Thought he was captain of there A3 side this year and was asked to step upto the A1 side????

brad morris used to be a gun keeper/batsman a few years back!
he was playing B's for Glenelg
dunno if he is keeping these days, but I know he is out at districts!
he would have to go close!

can't bat....
Has bad ankle too...

Hunter from Payneham is far and away the best keeper in the ATCA IMO but he is a rubbish bat. It is hard to go past Christophers for Keeper/Batsman for mine.

Matt Christophers easily.

Just a bit of a loose cannon...

I also think Christophers. Great bat but brilliant keeping up to the stumps for all of Granges bowlers. Creates enormous pressure.

cant bat??
He used to be able to
what has happened to him?

Stats can't lie can they?

A1
Christophers (Grange)
Potts (Goodwood)
Tamblyn (POS)

A2
Wordsworth (Para Hills)
Matthews (Ingle Farm)
Rothall (Woody South)

This based on performances and games played.

Reeves is probably better than all of 'em, but only played 3 games. Will he play in finals and keep if Hope Valley make it?
