Ahead of the final round of the Toowoomba cricket two-day season, we take a look at the players who could help their respective sides earn a finals place and take home the 2024 A grade title.

With the competition only running for four rounds this year and all three games in round 3 washed out, every team still has a chance of making the finals, making this final round all the more exciting.

Check out the players from each team who could have an impact on the premiership race.

Brian May (Wests)

The Wests veteran has been a class above in the one-day and two-day competitions this season.

With 474 runs at a stunning average of 94.8, there are few bowlers who can stop May once he gets his eye in.

Ryan Ward (Wests)

Ward has been immense with the ball this summer and has claimed an impressive 22 scalps across all competitions at an average of 13.73.

The Warriors pace bowler has hit his strongest form at the right time with 10 wickets in his last three innings, including a five-wicket haul against University last time out.

Luke Neale (Wests)

Neale is a proven game-changer who can almost single-handedly win a game off his own back.

He is a weapon with bat or ball and this was most evident early in the year, when he scored a 50 and claimed a five-wicket haul in the one game.

Dean Fry (Met-Easts)

Fresh off a stunning century in his last innings, Fry is another player who has found form at the right time of the season.

Fry has two centuries to his name this season and has scored 608 runs at 50.67.

He has shown he is a player who relishes the big games as he scored a crucial 50 in the one-day grand final in the first half of the season.

Ben Brocherie (Met-Easts)

The young captain has already led his side to the one-day title this year and will look to lead his side to a rare double premiership season.

With 922 runs at 38.42 and 15 wickets at 23.6, Brocherie makes his presence felt in both facets of the game and is a player who opponents will need to shut down in the business end of the season.

Hayden Campbell (Met-Easts)

Campbell has been one of the most lethal bowlers in the Darling Downs this summer and was central to the Trojans’ one-day title.

The young seamer has claimed 34 scalps across various competitions this season at an impressive average of 15.62.

Kris Glass (Northern Brothers Diggers)

Glass is a swashbuckling batter who shifts pressure back onto the bowlers every time he’s at the crease.

In his limited games he has played this summer, he has scored 254 runs at a superb average of 84.67.

Aidan Watterson (Northern Brothers Diggers)

Watterson has been a revelation for Northern Brothers Diggers in his return to Toowoomba cricket this year and earned a call-up to the Queensland Country side in January.

The Northern Brothers captain has been sensational with the ball, taking 44 wickets for the summer.

He is a proven big-game player and took season-best figures of 6-44 for South Queensland in the North Queensland v South Queensland clash in November.

Jordan Sondergeld (Northern Brothers Diggers)

The strike bowler is a weapon no matter who he plays for and has picked up 35 wickets at 16.4 this season.

His rep experience will bring an added boost to a Northern Brothers Diggers team which is on the rise.

Matt Johnston (University)

Johnston is a player who opponents will need to shut down early because when he is on, he is near unstoppable.

The Uni all-rounder was at his damaging best in round 1 of the two-day season, when he scored a stunning 129 runs and took 4-13 from 14 overs with the ball.

Dean Sullivan (University)

Sullivan is one of the leading wicketkeepers in Toowoomba and while he has so far struggled to fire in the two-day competition, he was sensational in the one-day competition to start the season and should not be overlooked in the final round and finals if his side makes it.

He has scored more than 35 runs on seven occasions this season with a top score of 93 so he will be a pivotal player for University.

Ruvith Karunarathne (Souths)

Karunarathne is currently the leading wicket-taker in the A grade two-day competition and has left opposing batters stunned on countless occasions this summer.

With 10 wickets with the red ball and 34 wickets in total, the Souths bowler has been a class above this year and will need to be at his best to help the Magpies fight for a place in finals.

Matt Budden (Souths)

Budden has continued to cause havoc with the ball and has picked up nine scalps this two-day season.

George Casey (Highfields)

Casey has been a solid contributor with bat and ball for Highfields this summer, picking up nine wickets and scoring 232 runs at an average of 29.

Patrick Turner (Highfields)

After a stunning performance in round 2, Turner is a player who will have opponents on high alert.

Turner scored an unbeaten 67 batting at number 10 against Souths and then backed it up with two handy wickets.
