UNDERRATED XI ON THE COAST
OUR BEST UNSUNG CRICKET HEROES
MITCHELL FREEMAN QUEENS
Jimmy Spargo and Winton brothers Sam, Harry and Jack are the go-to men for the Centaurs but Freeman has been impressive at the top of the order with 206 runs at 25, including a maiden century.
JAMIE SAUNDERS HELENSVALE PACIFIC PINES
Another opening batsman, Saunders has shone in a disappointing Hawks effort with 253 runs at 25.
ZANE BEATTIE PALM BEACH CURRUMBIN
The hero with an unbeaten 30 off 11 balls in the outright win against Mudgeeraba Nerang in December and his season tally of 275 runs at 21 shows it was no fluke.
MAHESH RAJARATNE SURFERS PARADISE
While the Demons are near the ladder cellar, Rajaratne has been ever-reliable with 11 wickets at 28.18 and 257 runs at 18.36.
CHANDIMA ABEYKOON BURLEIGH
Following an off-season of change for the Bullsharks, recruit Abeykoon has shown his all-round skills with 226 runs at 25 and 10 wickets at 26. DHANUSHKA MITIPOLARACHCHI
BROADBEACH ROBINA
Generally coming in at No.5, Mitipolarachchi has made handy contributions en route to 186 runs at 23, to go with 14 wickets at 26.
DYLAN McLAUGHLIN MUDGEERABA NERANG
While he has managed just 87 runs at 10, his sharp work behind the stumps, where he has claimed 12 catches and made two stumpings, has been crucial.
DARREN COLLIS COOMERA HOPE ISLAND
While Phil Tunnicliffe, Josh Henderson and Reuben Van Rijn have dominated with the ball for the Crocs, Collis’s nine wickets at 19 have been partnership-breakers.
DEVON HAMLEY SOUTHPORT LABRADOR
In a bowling attack headlined by Wade Kilborn and Paul Johnston, Hamley’s nine wickets at 18 have proved invaluable for the Tigers.
TRAVIS HARKER RUNAWAY BAY
Starting in second grade, Harker has made the most of his nine topgrade appearances with 13 scalps at 18, including 5-24 against PBC.
WILL HUDGSON ALBERTON ORMEAU
His ability to provide support for the frontline attack has been a key part of the team’s finals charge, picking up nine wickets at 15.
