Drummond Stands as Mr. Dependable

As Bentleigh Uniting 2’s cricket season progresses, the team has seen a plethora of standout performances, with players stepping up to the crease and delivering when it counts. But even among the stars, there’s always the one who becomes the backbone of the team’s batting lineup. This season, that accolade firmly goes to the captain, Rory Drummond, but not without stiff competition from his teammates.



Rory Drummond, leading from the front, has exemplified what it means to be steadfast and reliable. His top score of 73 runs not out is a testament to his tenacity, and consistently high scores throughout the season have been crucial in setting up the team for success. His ability to remain unbeaten, especially in high-pressure situations, speaks volumes of his mental fortitude and skill, rightfully earning him the title of “Mr. Dependable.”


Close on his heels, Ethan Manakis showed flashes of brilliance, particularly with an impressive 89 runs not out, a performance that highlighted his potential to take the game away from the opposition single-handedly. His knack for contributing significant scores has been vital in bolstering the team’s middle-order.


Paul Dessent has been another key player, with two notable innings where he remained not out, scoring 56 runs each time. His consistency and ability to play the anchor role have proven invaluable, particularly in stabilizing the innings and setting a platform for the team.

Yet, amidst this robust competition, Rory Drummond’s repeated heroics at the top order, coupled with his strategic acumen as captain, have been instrumental in defining the team’s approach this season. Drummond’s leadership by example has not only fortified the team’s batting but also inspired his teammates to elevate their performances.


Alex Zaia and James Still also deserve honorable mentions. Zaia, with a couple of significant contributions, and Still, with his fighting innings, have added depth to the batting lineup. Their innings have often come at crucial junctures, adding to the team’s collective effort.
