BEFORE we get into this weekend’s previews, a note about the MyCricket website. It gives statistics for all A and B grade players, although not all scores have been entered, hence some player career totals may not be complete as of last weekend.
In A grade tomorrow Murrabit hosts Cohuna United. The Blues’ batting averages are headed by Brad Hein (42), Kristian Bray (40) and Nathan Henry (35). Cohuna United has in-form players in Ian Mathers (63), Daniel Cooke (58), Josh Novoselek (44) and Chris Waterson (36). Some unbeaten innings may have inflated some of those averages. Logan Spittal has taken 13 wickets.
Leitchville/Gunbower plays Barham/Koondrook at Leitchville Oval. Tyler Jones has the incredible average of 122, while Kurt Brereton (36) and Matt Spittal (20) are going along well, too.
