Unexpected spinner proves as one to watch (Round 23)

Leading junior wicket taker Hunter Peters has taken his all-round game to a new level this season after only taking up leg spin bowling in recent seasons.

The Caloundra under 17s talent said since he started playing at the age of seven, he would spend most of his time behind the stumps.

“My dad coached my junior teams when I was younger and generally nobody wanted to wicket keep so I was given that duty by default,” he said.

After only bowling in a more serious manner in the past few seasons, Peters said he had been surprising himself with how well he was doing with the ball.

“The most ironic thing about the season I have had is actually that I don’t think of myself as a bowler, and more as a batsman that bowls leg-spin,” he said.

Peters had taken 27 wickets this season and sits in 30th position on our bowlers rankings.

He said there were a three main reasons for his success this season.

“The first is playing in a good team because as a leg spinner you are reliant on your fielders taking catches and this year my team was very good at that,” he said.

“Secondly, I had the opportunity to bowl a lot as Caloundra has been very supportive of its up and coming junior players meaning that I get to bowl in both junior and senior cricket as playing against men in the higher grades of cricket forces you to improve your length and variations.

“Primarily though would be the coaching that I have been fortunate to receive over the last two years.

“From my club coach David Hill who is very supportive and David Saker, who I have been very lucky to spend some time with, but most importantly Rod Davison, who I would say would be the most predominant factor in my success this year as a bowler, as well as the drastic improvement in my batting from previous years.”

The self described ‘aggressive’ bowler also bats third in the order and has a total of 271 runs this season.

Peters said he would reflect on his own performances after each game rather than checking his statistics.

“Ultimately how I personally felt when bowling on the day would greatly outweigh the stats I get on the day,” he said.

“For example, I would much prefer bowling consistently and getting opposition team’s best batsman out than bowling poorly and getting some lucky wickets from an aggressive tail.”

Fitzgerald lifts as women's finals loom (Round 21)

In form women's cricketer Taylor Fitzgerald says she has high hopes for her Caloundra teammates as they head into the first round of finals this weekend.

Fitzgerald, who is currently the competition’s leading run scorer with 289 runs, sits inside the top 80 on our run scorers rankings.

She said her third placed Caloundra team can compete against the higher placed teams such as Yandina and Coolum in the finals.

“I think we will perform well,” she said.

“We’ve been training hard and playing some good cricket leading up to the semi finals.”

Taylor Fitzgerald has also represented the Sunshine Coast Scorchers.

The self described ‘patient’ middle order batter has hit 20 fours from seven innings this season.

“I just wait for the bad ball to hopefully hit it for a boundary or make the most of it but also respect the good balls in the over,” she said.

“I’m just going out there to play some good cricket so it’s nice to know I’m contributing to the team’s total.”

The medium pace bowler has also picked up nine wickets this season.

Coolum youngster continues to shine (Round 19)

Coolum young gun Kade Williams has continued to climb the rankings this season as the right hand opening batsman currently sits in 18th place on our batters leaderboard.

With a high score of 77 not out and three half centuries this season, it’s clear to see why Williams is one to keep an eye on.

“I’ve only been playing cricket for two years and my coaches have corrected my technique a fair bit,” Williams said.

The self described aggressive batsman, has a total of 57 fours and 421 runs this season.

He said he looks to score on the boundary as much as he can.

“My favourite shot is a cover drive and I just try to hit it as hard as I can at the gaps in the field,” he said.

The fast pace opening bowler is also a Sunshine Coast Scorchers representative player and has picked up 10 wickets this season.

Williams said he drew inspiration from Australian cricket captain, Pat Cummins.

“He’s a really good fast bower and a really good person in general,” Williams said.

Milestone’s for young and old (Round 17)

Sunshine Coast cricketing legend and Yandina clubman Kerry Breuer recorded his 200th game last weekend and says he’s got plenty more left in him.

The former Brisbane grade cricketer had his first game for the club in November 2007.

Breuer, who is a seven time premiership winning player, said he enjoyed giving tips to the younger players coming through.

“I’ve done a bit of coaching in my time as I really enjoy trying to bring the best out of the other players,” he said.

“Even when I’m playing against the younger players and I can see them doing something wrong or that needs a bit of work I try to help them advance their game.”

The former vice president currently sits in 76th position on our batters ranking and said he can be a victim of his own playing style.

“I’m 61-years-old now and I think I’m a fairly hard hitting batsman,” he said.

“I bat at three now and I should score a lot more runs but I always run out of puff.”

The Queensland and Sunshine Coast veterans player said he still has a few more years to go.

“I’ve played with a lot of different players and I’ve always enjoyed that challenge of playing against those good teams and good players,” he said.

“I think most teams that I’ve played against and played in the players hold me in pretty good stead.

“It’s been a good 200 games and I hope I’ve still got a few more years left in me.”

On the opposite side of the age bracket it was USC cricket club’s Douglas Miller who showed why he’s one to keep an eye on.

In two innings the crafty pace bowler took a total of 7/11 off just 15 overs against USC white.

Miller, who plays in the U15 South competition, currently ranks in the top 100 of the Sunshine Coast’s best bowlers.

“I started playing cricket when I was four and have just worked my way up,” he said.

“We won the toss and I always love a good bowl to start the game off so it was good I could contribute.”

USC cricketer Dougie Miller has established himself as one to watch this season.

Miller, who has taken 14 wickets this season for his USC White team, said he is trying to improve in all areas of his game.

“I do focus on my bowling but I’m trying to improve at the crease to become a bit of an all rounder,” he said.

The Buderim Rebels hockey player said he enjoys playing sport and being around his mates.

“We’ve got a great bond so being able to hang out with my mates and play some sport is just really fun.”
