Post by: 19reading87 on May 02, 2013, 08:38:25 AM
So for a bit of fun lets see if anybody in particular comes out on top.

Whether you have seen them play, seen a video of them playing, stats, the level they play etc etc...

Please not you must not vote for yourself

Mr Purchase must be up there after his knock for Glos 2's last season in my books!

MSR Steve or Kieron have played a very decent standard

as has Mr Aldred
Title: Re: Name the person you believe is the best player on this forum...
Post by: RoCo Da Pixie on May 02, 2013, 08:50:36 AM
Christian Purchase, Aldred, Dave aka procricket would be my first thoughts.

And Luke who is coached by Mr Aldred.

I would say Kieron, Christian Purchase or MSR Steve too. Have't we got an international on here as well? Mind you, whos that lad that wanted to imitate Kevin Pietersen in everything he did, he's been trying long enough.... he must be up there too lol.

Christian Purchase on that scorecard is CBF Purchase.  Incredible!  Custom Bats Forum's Purchase, you couldn't write it.

Well....I realise that he is always very quiet and possibly rarely posts, but how about THE STIG!!! Agree about Purchase, Kieron, Steve MSR and Aldred. But dismiss The Stig at your peril!  ;)
Title: Re: Name the person you believe is the best player on this forum...
Post by: Nickauger on May 02, 2013, 09:19:54 AM
The Stig is alright, he needs a trigger movement in his techniue before he's truly considered class however.

What about garretj, I seem to remember reading he'd played at a good level.
Title: Re: Name the person you believe is the best player on this forum...

I've played at a good level. Don't class myself as a good player though! ;)

Calum (400 not out) has represented Scotland under 19s and I believe he's playing the highest club level in Scotland at the moment

Talking of the Stig, he is due back from Aus tomorrow... I think he will be popping down the my club on Saturday to grunt or something

Roco is decent, heard good things about Dave (procricket) and Buzz. Leonie is an International isn't she? That's got to make her fairly useful hasn't it? Mr Aldred and Mr Purchase have to be right up there.....difficult to say without seeing them all play.

Isn't Mr Buchanan down in darkest Somerset a bit useful? His stats were pretty decent last time I looked...

Ha Im sure Leonie will hate me mentioning her batting average!

Id imagine she is pretty decent though, she certainly seems to be able to give the ball a giant smack!

I played against most of the caribbean players who were playing 2006 to 2008. Mostly played agaisnt the individual islands.

Bowlers of note who i faced were F Edwards, D Powell, R Rampaul, K Roach, J Taylor. I kept wicket as well so got very close to Gayle and all of those others. Gayle wasnt a slogger then from what i remember.

I got a game because i worked there and was scorign a few runs so Gus Logie said why not give him a go as a few lads had retired from internationals after the world cup.

Got to be Pidge (Rob Pack Cricket), he hit Jimmy Lee (first class bowling average of 13 this season) for six the other week.  Don't think he's mentioned it much either!  ;)

I did get as far as the Bucks U17 Squad, and Home Counties Western Feeder - 20-25 years ago lol

Roco did play Welsh Minor Counties. Though I think some of the convicts down under are very decent cricketers as well.
