Ballan 44 def Wildcats 22 at better than 78 runs per innings. It’s not necessarily how
many runs per se the attacking opener has made, it’s the time
he takes to get them - Hyatt’s 1166 runs over the past two
seasons have come at an alarming strike rate of 97.5 (runs)
per 100 balls which poses the question - is he the best the
BCA has seen? Surely he’s the most damaging at the top of
any order.
Wheelahan, with 30-years experience in the game, a
majority spent at sub district level and now Darley, conceded
the question had merit.
“I’ve been fortunate to play with and against some champion
cricketers over the journey, but Danza is simply at a different
level,”
“His ability to be so mentally strong and get through tough
times, knowing he can still launch at any time is intimidating
for any bowler.
“That’s what makes him special.”
The Lions total of 5/163 was never threatened as the bowling
group led by Benny Longhurst, Madushanka Ekanayake
and Hasi Wickramasinghe saw to it that East in reply could
salvage an honourable 5/138. The final is scheduled at Darley
Park in the coming weeks.
