Q: OK you’ve seen the batsmen now it’s time for fast bowlers. Let’s qualify first. They have to have played in Dubbo while I was here, and I have to have seen them live in a Dubbo team. So just for the record Don Nash is out. He came along in Dubbo after me.
I’m not doing spinners. I’ve not seen too many good ones. Most of them are part timers who don’t really turn the ball that much. Bowling slow to wait for a miss-hit for a catch at cow is not my idea of clever bowling. Glen Shepherd was probably the best I saw. Jame Patterson for Cyms and RSL back in the 80s was pretty good. Nick Duffy was phenomenal given his age. But this article is for the quicks.

Q: The top batsman of my time in Dubbo - Mick Davis
By popular demand (well really just one reader but I still think it’s pretty cool) I have been asked to rate the best batsmen of my time. So, let’s qualify this. I must have seen them live; they have to have had an impact on me and they had to play cricket in Dubbo. Those three criteria get them a look. After that I am picking on who made a great impression on me. Not just who might have had the best stats. So, I am looking at things like stats, technique, attitude, their impact on the game and reputation.
