Top Picks

Matt Hammond is an exceptional all-rounder for Southern Districts CC. In the recently concluded T20 tournament he picked up 11 wickets and scored 105 runs in five matches. Dean Fry is another decent player. He bats in the middle-order on most occasions and scored 83 runs apart from picking 7 wickets in five outings.

Corey Kelly did well in the semi-final of the tournament scoring an unbeaten 77 off 39 balls but impressed little in the rest of four matches. However, he was also impressive with the ball accounting for three wickets in four innings. Mylius and Mullen are also decent batsmen. With the ball, Michael Ninneman is the best with five wickets to his name.

As far as the Pint Cricket Club are concerned, Tim Garner starred for them in the previous game with an unbeaten 82-run knock. He was in good form in T20 tournament as well scoring 118 runs in three outings. He also bowled in the previous One-Day game returning with 1/12 in six overs. John Flynn scored 17 runs in the previous game and picked a wicket as well. His all-round game was at its best in the T20s as well earlier this month.

Bilal Abbas is also a decent batsman but is not consistent enough going by the performances in the T20s. Martin Brown opened the innings in the previous outing and stroked an impressive 42. Joel Logan picked three wickets in the last game while he was on fire in the shortest format too accounting for 8 scalps in four matches including a five-wicket haul.
