KATHERINE RAYMONT T20 SHIELD TEAM OF THE SEASON

Ruby Strange (Wests)

The Wests opening batter would captain the team after leading her side to a brilliant season (13-1) this summer.

She scored 57 last weekend which brought her tally up to 482 runs in the competition, leading all others by 53 runs.

Strange is in the form of her career.

Tess Cooper (Sandgate-Redcliffe)

The Gators skipper would open the batting with Strange in this powerhouse team of the summer.

The 27-year-old from Emerald has been superb all season long, spearheading Sandgate-Redcliffe to fourth on the ladder with 429 runs at 39.

The Gators legend, who first played for the club as a 15-year-old, has delivered the goods this season that is for sure.

Mikayla Wrigley (Sunshine Coast)

Mikayla Wrigley after a stumping. Katherine Raymond Shield T20 action between the Sunshine Coast and Wests.

Our wicketkeeper batter would be Wrigley, Sunshine Coast’s best this season.

She has been a game-breaker, a player the Scorchers can call upon in the toughest of circumstances.

She has been a chief scorer of runs this summer, but also an elite wicketkeeper who keeps batters on their toes.

Lily Bassingthwaighte (Wests)

Arguably the most dangerous all-rounder in the competition is Lily Bassingthwaighte, a reliable opening bat in this incredible Wests team.

The athletic Bassingthwaighte, who bowls express pace, has taken 11 wickets with the ball to go along with 255 runs at 31.88.

Felicity Koch (Ipswich)

Ipswich’s opening batter had to make the team.

Although she won’t face the new ball in this team, her batting prowess mixed with her ability to snare wickets makes her a huge threat.

She is the taker of 13 wickets and the scorer of 181 runs so far this season, making her one of the best performing all-rounders in the Katherine Raymont Shield.

Zoe Cooke (Wynnum-Manly)

The Sea Eagles captain adds a different dimension to her side, making the Wynnum-Manly team capable of anything when she is in the line -up.

Her leadership, along with her trusty middle order batting has been effective in scoring and forming partnerships.

Watch out for Wynnum in the finals with Cooke and Co sure to ruffle a few feathers.

Christina Coulson (Valley)

Valley bowler Christina Coulson back in 2019.

Coulson has been the full package for Valley this season, offering elite spin bowling and runs at the top order.

Valley’s opening batter, Coulson has got plenty of starts this year while also being a dangerous bowler in the format.

Megan Jones (Valley)

Jones has done it all with bat and ball.

She is the fifth highest run scorer of the competition, with 212 runs at 30, while also being a bowling threat who captain Kira Holmes can call upon for a breakthrough.

Olivia Roche (Sandgate-Redcliffe)

It was a toss-up between Roche and her teammate Darcey Johnson because both were equally deserving.

Roche however is the competition’s second leading wicket taker (15) and her effort against Wynnum-Manly last month where she snared 3-13, after sweeping through the Sea Eagles top order, sealed the deal.

Charni Bloxsom, Ella Anderson, Keyra Smith and Grace Harris after Brisbane Heat's win over Strikers.

Charni Bloxsom (University)

The leading wicket taker in first grade, so her selection speaks for itself.

She has 18 wickets at an outstanding average of 9.28 and is ultra consistent.

Ruby Orchard (Sunshine Coast)

She is spearheading the Scorchers bowling attack and her pressure bowling has allowed Maddie Duncan, Chelsea Baker, Shari Anderson and Catherine White to cash in.

She is the Scorchers prime mover, a trusted opening bowler who is always picking up the wicket of top order batters.

The bowling is spearheaded by Mr Consistency, Valley’s Benji Floros, who not only takes wickets, but builds pressure at the other end which aids his bowling partner. He is great value.

Ipswich’s raw-boned Jem Ryan is, statistically, the competition’s premier fast bowler, surging to 32 wickets across the summer so far.

It is still a long, hot summer to go for young Ryan who will pass by some dry gullies, but the kid is going very well.

Old man river Preston White remains the linchpin of the Toombul - and also shines with the bat. He is really two cricketers in one for the Bulls.

Fourth in the rankings is another player who has been one of our headline grabbers, Noah McFadyen, who we think can play first class cricket. He is a swing bowler, and a more than handy lower order left handed.

A resurgent Valley has some outstanding young guns spearheaded by Callum Vidler (pace) and Zanden Jeh (spin).

But around them Cameron Boyce is leading them expertly, an international class leg spinner who is taking wickets and keeping things tight.

Another in the top six is the wild thing Tom Balkin, a bustling wildcard fast bowler from Toombul.

TOP RUN SCORERS

As mentioned earlier, the remarkable Toombul all-rounder White also leads the batting averages.

He is a one-man entertainment machine who can threaten car windscreens with towering bombs, and where Toombul would be without him, goodness only knows.

Inform Scott Palombo (Northern Suburbs) is second on the averages, then comes Gold Coast prodigy Hugo Burdon, Dylan McLachlan (Valley) and Uni run machine Angus Lovell make up the top five.

Tom Campbell’s ranking at No. 7 is confirmation of his success this season at Western Suburbs. The Terrace old boy has played his way into the Queensland 19s after turning promise into performance.
