Para District Cricket Association 2012/13

I always though Chris Jones from CD was difficult to face..

Dwayne Jones?

Nope i'm sure he means Chris Jones - Para Teachers

[whufc]

Quickest i faced were

Glenn North (accuracy and pace can kill)
Dwayne Jones (he 7ft me 4ft scary)
Troy Bennie (Willaston played one year was a football ruckmen, very similar to Johnnsy)
Jason Mobbs (used to try and kill us when we were 15yo in the nets at training, wasnt fun)
Aaron Bevis (probably the quickest)
Mark Garrard (unusual action plus decent pace meant u always were wary)
Kenny McConnell (silent killer, beautiful action and run up, nice bloke then would kill)
Trevor Bailey (use to come out to training sessions a fair bit at EP, off 3 steps in his stubbies was real scary)
Combination of Ben Moore, Andy Carmen, Daniel Oliver (while not the quickest having 3 off them bowl 30 overs at you in a row was an extreme challenge.)

Others i have heard that were incredibly quick but i never faced in their prime

Col Rundle
Ray Walloschek
Steve Warren
Heyes (from Atco)

grade 1 top 4 sorted..last round this week can change the order, top and home finals , bottom and relegations, will be interesting... soundwave and clipsal could be a factor... CU have a couple out, anyone else ?

Rosies are too old to worry about that stuff, now if Gene Pitney or Patsy Cline decided to visit Adelaide over the next couple of weeks we may have to consider a forfeit.

And before Graham jumps on me yes I realise Pitney is dead.

Top two playing off though in what will probably be the preview to the Grand Final.

Anyone can take the flag this year. CU on their day can turn it on. SW and RC have proven they have big time players. Going to be one of the closest finals serious for a long time.

and for those a little bit older Ronan Laverty from The Lodge was probably one of the quickest in the 80's/90's

Chuck in the Hayes brothers from ATCO as well

Lavo was sharp...

Graham Hayes was quick, not Gordy so much.

Verity from OTH was swift too.

Jones, Kevin Thomas, glen north, and some guy from gawler central I can never remember

Kev Norton was most definitely quick.

Kev Norton was most definitely quick.

Yes that's him. Scared me a few times as a 15 year old.

Mark DeJong (eliz)was quick, but too nice to hurt anyone.. Ian Brown (CU)was sharp , even he didnt know where they were going.. Anthony Prior (TW) also could ping them down.

[bagster]

aaahhhh !! the days of buckle up pads, when the bowlers could bowl 4/5/6 bouncers per over and no-one wore helmets... i still get nightmares now.. ....... and there were players who didnt wear gloves...

[bagster]

The samca seniors is on this sunday ! just up the road at Edwardstown oval ! clipsal or cricket ? Vroooom vroooom im off to the clipsal. and then they want the winners to have a day off work on a tuesday to play country at a LOCAL turf oval, not adelaide oval... could be argana park or the paddocks , thats gotta be worth a day off work !!!

[Smasher]

Yes that's him. Scared me a few times as a 15 year old

Norm, what year was that and who were you playing for when you faced Kev as a 15y.o?

I faced him a few times in the late 90's. He could get them moving, loved bowling the short ball aswell IIRC.

[Wizard of Oz]

I reckon I faced Kev in about 93 as a 15yo also...

He was a class act...

Anthony was quick and could bowl for long spells and maintain the pace, he had Spurling up the other end who I found quicker though.

Oz, Gawler Centrals and SW had some great battles in the late 80's - early 90's.......the days when it was played hard and fast both on and off the ground....lol

JC was always a fav, Ace batting with his jumper on in 40c was interesting....and Super was always good value (and a great bloke).

I think I referred to facing Norton at 15 years of age. Kev wasnt until the north pines v Elizabeth days.
