Best Tossies never to play for Australia

OK...i've taken a few liberties but:-

B Davison
P Clough
D Buckingham
D Wright
J Cox
D Hills
M Ridgeway
B Geeves
A Griffiths
L Appleton

no doubt Lardy can come up with a few more.

Kremerskothen and Clingeleffer.

Ucker was pretty close to selection a few times, no?

Davo??? A Rhodesian Pom, FFS. A liberty indeed. That's as bad as choosing Franklyn Stevenson.

And Mark Ridgeway. PMSL. Does he make good Gatorade??

Ron Morrisby?
Brian Patterson?
Terry Cowley?
Owen Burrows?
Sydney Putman?
Reginald Hawson?
Edward Windsor?

Fark, how old are you, Wally?

I just made those names up.



..... apart from Brian Patterson who I remember well from my younger days. A decent slow left armer & handy late order bat.

Pants on fire.

Makybe

Played ODIs but not tests.

T Deville should have gone on from Tasmania to represent Australia.

So did Geeves

Remember Les Geeves?

The French Butler?

No. He played a few games for Queensland back in 1967.

He was a hooker.





































Rugby League.

Played in the same era as Brian Fitzsimmons so he was probably lucky to get those caps. Johnny Lang was just after that.

Anyway, back to the Tossie cricketers.

Gerald James?
Douglas Green?
Ronald Thomas?
Max Thomas?

Gary Cowmeadow

Cowmeadow, like Gary Whitney were good state cricketers but not test material imho. I thought about including Brian Patterson but its hard to judge players from the pre-shield era. The exception i made was Les Appleton who i remember from my young days as a genuine quick who could match it with any bowler of his day.

How can anybody he called Cowmeadow FFS?

Les could have been anything, except (probably) a batsman. Sadly he enjoyed the 'cameraderie' after the game more than the game itself, and wrecked his health and his life.

Richard Soule
Luke Butterworth
Peter Clough
Stuart Saunders
Kevin Badcock
