Traralgon cricket aces
ALTHOUGH the beginning of the cricket season still appears to be more than a month away, a number of players across Gippsland will hold high hopes of returning strong tallies with either bat or ball. The Traralgon and District Cricket Association, which takes in teams in the Gippsland Times’ readership, has many high profile players, some of whom have also had stints in Sale-Maffra Cricket Association. Here is a selection of TDCA players tipped to be the standouts for this coming season, and who could also come up against SMCA players in Gippsland Cricket League action.
Bowlers in the Sale-Maffra Cricket Association are surely glad they no longer have to bowl to Anthony Scott. File photo
Anthony Scott
(Yarram & District)
HIGHLY regarded in cricketing circles across Gippsland, the Pelicans’ skipper will be chomping at the bit at just the thought of playing all one-day fixtures this season because of COVID restrictions. Scott hits a huge ball and will be perfectly suited to play the shorter format each week this season. It doesn’t stop there for Scott — his bowling should not be underestimated. His ability to prize a wicket when things aren’t going his team’s way, comes through bowling economically, throwing in a few tricks to boot. He was the inaugural captain of the Pelicans, and now that they have a strong foothold in the TDCA, punters can expect his 254 runs from last season to nearly double as he smashes his way through season 2021-22. Scott plundered many SMCA attacks to all parts of the ground during his time with Rosedale-Kilmany.
Keenan Hughes
(Toongabbie)
THE big athletic left arm quick returns to Toongabbie after a season in Kalgoorlie, where he was able to add another premiership medal to his growing trophy cabinet. Hughes will always be remembered in the TDCA for his blistering spell against Ex Students in the 2018-19 grand final — and rightfully so, as the big quick is easily regarded as the fastest bowlers in the league once more. It looks as if his batting has improved out of sight as well, making more than 400 runs last season in Western Australia. This included a Country Week campaign where he smashed 91 from 78 balls in the semi final, and then 88 from 57 balls in the final. Coming off that sort of form will be huge for the Rams’ finals chances, as Hughes stamps his authority on the TDCA this season.
Adam Brady (Gormandale)
LIKE a fine wine, Brady continues to get better with age. The new Gormandale captain is coming off another superb season, where he finished second in the bowling aggregate for the league, earnt himself a black cap at GCL level and for the 10th time in his career was named in the TDCA Team of the Year. Brady shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, and considering he’s only one Team of the Year selection away from equalling the record of 11 held by Kent Hammond, there is no doubt the star quick will be primed for another big season.
Matthew Hibbs
(Gormandale)
THERE was never any doubt that Matthew Hibbs is a talented cricketer, and after his best season in the TDCA in 2020-21 where he amassed 483 runs at an average of 48.30, he’s put himself on the list as one of the best cricketers in the competition. The challenge now is for Hibbs to go to the next level to be considered one of the best two or three batsmen in the league. If his form continues on from last season, getting some hundreds under his belt will certainly be on the cards. Although he doesn’t bowl much anymore, he still provides plenty for the Tigers in the field, having made the point position his own in recent years, where he hunts the ball beautifully and is as clean as any other fielder in the TDCA.

Our Family Caring For Your Family Since 1979 THE Ex Students captain is not only regarded as the best player in the TDCA, but also the best in the region. Stockdale made 357 runs last season and also claimed 30 wickets to win the league bowling aggregate in an outstanding regular season. Adding to that, his 137 runs and five wickets at Gippsland Cricket League level shows there’s no reason to see him slowing down any time soon. Stockdale commands respect as the TDCA’s representative skipper, and his aura on the field and take-no-prisoners attitude is second to none — which is why he is the most highly rated player in the TDCA.
Nathan Freitag
(Glengarry)
RETURNED to the TDCA last season for the first time in a long time, Freitag had an instant impact. Most predicted a bigger return from the superstar left hander after coming back from Victorian Premier Cricket, but he still made more than 300 runs and claimed 10 wickets during the regular season. Freitag paced himself brilliantly, peaking at exactly the right moment and picking up his team-mates to carry them into a magnificent finals campaign. He made 80 runs and claimed eight wickets, leading the Magpies to a premiership in the process. Freitag is as calm a character as you could meet in cricketing circles, and his finals series reminded everyone just how bright of a shining star he is. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Freitag surpassed Stockdale as the top dog after this season.
James Pryde
(Ex Students)
PRYDE has a huge reputation as a biggame player, and rightfully so. Pryde has been outstanding for not just Ex Students since getting the opportunity to bowl more, but for the TDCA representative team as well. The aggressive spinner showed his class last season in the GCL grand final, where he earnt Man Of The Match honours for his mesmerising six wicket haul. After knocking on the door every year of the TDCA Team of the Year since his first selection in 2018-19, this season is shaping up to be a big one where he’ll be in the mix for the bowling aggregate trophy come presentation night.
Alistair Jenkin (Glengarry)
JENKIN won the LH Cox Player of the Year only two seasons ago, and has built a huge reputation as a classy opening batsman. Jenkin didn’t have the biggest season in the most recent campaign, making 200 runs during the regular season, but he made 59 runs in the finals series, while showing his class with the ball in the grand final — taking 2-17 from 14.2 overs. Jenkin is a genuine all-round threat and, considering he is now Glengarry’s number one spinner, he will be crucial for his club this season. Jenkin will be required to bowl plenty of overs, while also getting lots of opportunity with the stick. Watch this space because Jenkin has got a big season brewing.
Jackson McMahon
(Ex Students)
ANOTHER batsman who will thrive in an all one-day season, McMahon is Ex Students’ regular opening batsman in the shorter format, and will be one to watch this season. Coming off a regular season of just more than 300 runs, McMahon is more than capable of big scores and accumulating runs in a short amount of time. Without Jordan Gilmore potentially in the Ex Students line-up this season, McMahon is just the person to take the mantle and establish himself as the main man at Shark Park.
Ewan Williams (Rovers)
IT is now time for Williams to go from child prodigy to established superstar, and there will be no better time than this season. From a TDCA point of view Williams didn’t have the biggest season in 2020-21, making 242 runs at 16.13 while claiming 15 wickets at 17.93. However, he got to experience outside the TDCA, which will hold him in good stead for the coming year. Williams earnt a Black Cap playing representative cricket on his way to a GCL premiership, while also being a part of the Gippsland Under 21’s premiership team as well. With these experiences under his belt, the allrounder should have picked up plenty of great cricketing knowledge over the season. If he can transfer some of that to his own game in 2021-21 then spectators can expect big things from the young gun.
