Winnington Park Cricket Club
2008 Overseas Player
The actual overseas player for 2008 will be Sean O’Neill from Melbourne. Currently playing first grade in the Geelong Cricket Association for Thomson Cricket Club alongside Johnny Kettle, he comes highly recommended by former teammate and ex-Park player Daniel Leech (no pressure Danny). Sean is also co-coach (and vice-captain) of his club, so hopefully he will be able to teach the younger members of the squad a thing or two, as well as contributing on the field.
The stats below show that he is currently out-performing Kettle which is a promising sign when you consider Kettle is the premier league champion’s opening batsman. Lets hope he can adapt to the conditions over here.
