REPORT - Weston Creek Cricket Club

1021C.C.S.C.A. V GRADE, DIV, II (R)CAPTAIN'SREPORTWCCC one-day (R) team enjoyed mixed fortunes throughoutthe season, having a wi.n in the second game a longstring of losses, and then finishing with five wins fromthe last six games.This team serves two important: functions, firstly itprovides a proving ground for younger players - playerssuch as Chris Burgess and Graham Drew who gave valuableservice to the team before rightfully being promoted tohigher grades. Secondly the team provides the opportunityto players like myself who came relatively late to thegame and who simply wish to have a game of cricket :eachSaturday.The team possibly suffered through having so many changes,seldom having the same team from one week to thenextHowever this must be expected, and I believe that itwas through the regular players accepting this fact and.believing in themselves that we had such success in theclosing stages of the season.Of the regular players, David Twiss provided great serviceas an opening bowler, backbone of the batting andas an excellent fielder.Keith Parker was another player who showed steady improvementthroughout the season. Keith has developed intoa consistent and accurate bowler, and will be puttingpressure on bowlers in higher grades next season.On behalf of the others who captained the team,BarneyDevlin (promoted to batter things) and Frank Lonie (Temprorarilyretired due to injury) I would like to thank allthose who played with the team during the seasonDavidFlatt
