Warwick Potts - Coach (Woodlands)
Peter Gladigau - Captain (Woodlands)
Wins against - Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales (1st Semi).
All Australians - Peter Gladigau
NB: Paul Devine (former Windsor and SA player) made the team for New South Wales.
As this is his first year with NSW we can claim a part of his good cricket.
Player of the Series placings - Ian Waters (2nd)
"Jammo" had a great carnival having been put into the tough opening batting position for
the first time. Ian would be the first to admit he isn't a ready made opener, but his
ability to play straight and know his own strengths and weaknesses enabled him to give
his team a great start every time. He and his partner in crime Tony Forde, consistently
gave the team a 30+ start to build on.
Find of the tournament - Rob Lengyel
Rob went into the carnival hoping to get a game, and ended up being one of the best
performers thanks to his tireless work rate and his never say to die attitude. Even
near the end of the carnival when a torn hamstring was really hampering his movement,
he continued to sprint and dive to make his ground, and hit the bowling crease hard.
Great Spectator Moments - Peter Gladigau, Gary Bartlett, Tony Forde
Both Glads and Gary provided a spectacular catch in the game against Victoria which the
boys had to win to make the finals. This was a fantastic game of cricket, with great
stuff done by both sides, and the SA boys giving their all and winning in the end. The
crowd was quite amazed to see the "agile" Peter Gladigau take a David Boon like catch at
cover, mind you we weren't as surprised as "Horse" himself.
Tony Forde provided a great moment after he and Jammo scored 39 to win the first skin
against Victoria and therefore make it easier for the team to make it to the finals. His
batting was fantastic, but his "Strength and Honour" salute to the incoming batters was
inspirational.
In order to provide inspiration for this important game, Glads suggested the team go
and see "Gladiator" at the movies. This provided the strength and honour salute that
got them through the Vic game, and also the 1st Semi against the highly fancied New South
Wales side.
2000 Over 35's Men's Team
John Lonergan - Coach (Reynella)
Wayne Jones - Captain (Reynella)
Wins against - None
All Australians - None
Find of the tournament - Rob Adams, Rick Hassan
Rob was only added to the squad with 3 weeks to go, and therefore didn't have the benefit
of weeks of training with the team and learning the team rules and disciplines. Rob
went away with the attitude of enjoying himself and hoping to get 1 or 2 games. He
ended up playing 2 games, with his first against Northern Territory giving him the
statistics of 0 off his 2 overs (-4 and 4) and 14 off his own bat. Rob and Jonesy had
to chase 54 to win the game, and got within 6 runs until their luck ran out.
Rick really turned it on with the ball in every game he played, and ended up being the
"go to" bowler for skipper Wayne Jones when a wicket was needed. Rick conceded a total
of 4 runs off his first 4 overs, and continued to bowl "in the box" consistently for the
whole tournament.
Great Spectator Moments - Rob Adams and Tony Diener
In the last game of the carnival, we played Queensland with no hope of making finals and
just our pride to play for after a disappointing tournament. Queensland had been the
gun side of the week (they went on to win the Nationals comfortably) and so the boys were
determined to put up a good performance. Tony and Rob went out to bat, and just backed
their ability and used guts and determination to do whatever it took to keep the score
moving. Rob's first ball against the might Queensland, 7 scored !! These two proceeded
to knock 27 off the first 2 overs, and Queensland were forced to bring on their skipper
and really step things up as their skin of 39 was in real danger. Unfortunately the
boys got out once or twice, and that got the Queenslanders going. A fantastic effort
from two batters who haven't been blessed with heaps of natural ability, but backed
themselves and showed what playing for your State is all about.
2000 Over 30's Women's Team

Our Strength is our Security
Contact Ron Braddock - Managing Director on 8252 9050
Simon McKenzie - Coach (Stepney)
Andrea McCauley - Captain (Windsor)
Wins against - Northern Territory, Northern Territory (Elim Final), Victoria (1st Semi).
All Australians - Trudy Glazbrook, Lee-Anne Hunter
Find of the tournament - Trudy Glazbrook
It's unusual to list Trudy as a "find", as she has played a lot of State cricket.
However Trudy finally put together the week of cricket we all knew she was capable of,
and deservedly received recognition in the Australian side. Trudy's bowling was
miserly during the carnival, and her ability to shatter teams with her batting (along
with fellow Australian rep Lee-Anne Hunter) made this the stand out Nationals for
Trudy.
Great Spectator Moments - Cathy Shulz
In the game against Queensland, everything was very tense, and the SA girls were giving
it a real dip (they went on to win 2 skins), and then Cathy came on to bowl. Cathy
played the tournament wearing a hat, and naturally removed it when it was her turn to
bowl. What the spectators saw as Cathy ran in to bowl, was the worst hat hair ever seen
at a National Championships. "Combed with a Pork Chop" was the main cry from the stands
of ever laughing and pointing spectators. Suffice to say Cathy was a little more
conscious of her hairdo for the remainder of the carnival.
