The Toowoomba cricket one-day season concluded on the weekend and cricket fans were treated to some stellar individual performances over the past two months.

We have compiled our team of the season from the white-ball competition with the best of the best players from A-grade, Reserve grade, B-Grade and C-grade featuring on this list.

The team consists of four bowlers, a wicketkeeper, an all-rounder, five batters as well as a 12th man.

Check out our dream team below.

1. Ben Brocherie (Met-Easts, A-grade)

The first opener on this list is the Met-Easts A-grade premiership-winning captain, who has been a joy to watch this season.

Brocherie notched up three 50s and a century this campaign as he scored 375 runs at an average of 75.

2. Adam Kerrigan (Met-Easts Blue, B-grade)

Kerrigan has been in destructive form this season and opens the batting alongside Brocherie in the dream team.

With a mammoth 493 runs at 98.6, few bowlers have been able to contain his power when he gets going.

Kerrigan’s best performance came in round 9, when he put Souths Magpies to the sword by scoring an unbeaten 114 off 88 balls and smashed 12 fours and five sixes.

Impressively, across his nine innings, he was only dismissed for less than 50 on two occasions as he was bowled for 49 in round 7, then dismissed for a duck in round 8, making him one of the most consistent batters in the Garden City.

Brian May bats for Wests.

3. Brian May (Western Districts, A-grade)

The ‘Bush Bradman’ well and truly lived up to his name this season, scoring 404 runs at an incredible average of 101.

May scored five half-centuries in eight innings and only failed to score more than 40 runs on just one occasion.

4. Michael Sheehan (Uni Phoenix, C-grade)

Sheehan was in blistering form this season and comes in at second drop in this team.

He scored an impressive 421 runs at 84.21 which included an unbeaten 126 in round 4.

5. Robert Fenwick (Northern Brothers Diggers Gold, C-grade)

While normally an opener, Fenwick would be used in the middle-order of the dream team after scoring 431 runs at an impressive average of 71.83.

He was at his damaging best throughout the campaign as he captained his side to the C-grade premiership and was particularly lethal in his in his first three games, where he recorded scores of 82, 100 and 93.

6. Andrew Winterbottom (Souths, B-grade)

Winterbottom is the all-rounder for the team after he tore through the opposition with bat and ball.

He was one of the best batters in B-grade as he scored 298 runs at 49.67 and was equally damaging with the ball, taking 13 scalps at an amazing average of 10.54.

7. Dean Sullivan (University, A-grade)

Sullivan takes the wicketkeeper spot on this list after a strong season with the bat and the gloves.

He was University’s leading run-scorer in A-grade with 319 runs at 45.57.

8. Jacob Jeans (Northern Brothers Diggers, B-grade)

Jeans is the first of the bowlers in the team after he claimed 19 wickets at an impressive average of 12.53.

9. Chris Stearn (Met-Easts White, B-grade)

Stearn was the leading wicket-taker in B-grade with 20 scalps at an average of just 10.25.

The Met-Easts bowler hit his straps at the right time as he took 12 wickets from his final three games, including a five-fa on the way to the B-grade one-day premiership.

10. Phillip Reinke (Met-Easts, Reserve grade)

Reinke was the pick of the bowlers in Reserve grade this season as he claimed 16 scalps at 13.06.

He proved himself as a big game player as he took seven wickets across the semi-final and he grand final but it was ultimately not enough for his side to take home the title.

11. Ruvith Karunarathne (Souths, A-grade)

Karunarathne proved why he is one of the best bowlers in Toowoomba as he claimed 19 scalps at an average of 15.42.

He was one of the shining lights in the Magpies’ grand final defeat to Met-Easts as he took 4-26 off seven overs.

12th man. Anthony Guse (Northern Brothers Diggers Blue, C-grade)

Guse takes the 12th man spot in the team after his exceptional campaign with the bat.

The Northern Brothers Diggers opener scored 422 runs at a stellar average of 70.33 and is unlucky to not feature in the starting 11.
