Check out the high achievers from around Melbourne’s local cricket competitions

There were runs and wickets aplenty in local cricket across Melbourne but spare a thought for the batters that missed out on the magical three figures.

There were some very unlucky batters on the weekend.

Nine players were either out or left stranded on 98 or 99 across Melbourne’s local cricket competitions.

Research Eltham Collegians’ David MacDonald and Williams Landing’s Daanish Mehta both got stuck on 99.

Mehta was making a rare Sunday appearance in the Williamstown District competition, backing up from a Premier Cricket match for Geelong.

On the other side of the coin, two players can consider themselves lucky enough to take a hat-trick.

Congrats to Altona’s Tim Fegan and West Ivanhoe’s Terry Liddicutt.
