THE TEAM
Past and present players Chris Johnston, Rod Taylor, Marc Fidler and Stephen Huggett
chose the Team of the 25 Years. Statistics were provided and where possible
information was gathered on players who played prior to 1984-85 due to the fact that no
scorebooks were available for the Club's first 5 years.
The team is a mixture of current and former players and was chosen in batting order:-
GLENN PEARCE 1982-2004
Opening Batsman/Wicketkeeper/Captain
Games Played: 252

Batting: 5321 runs, average 22.84, 100's: 1, 50's: 21, HS: 102 vs Indooroopilly District
Bowling: 10 wickets, 22.30 average, 10W/M: 0, 5W/I: 0, BB 3-6 vs Stafford
Fielding: 306 catches, 26 stumpings
One of the longest serving players in the Club and a life member, Glenn was chosen as
one of the opening batsman in the side and also as wicketkeeper where he took an
astonishing 322 dismissals over a 23 year career. Pearce was an automatic choice in
the side given his record of over 5000 runs and was also named captain of the team
after captaining Coorparoo to 5 A1 premierships.

Since making his debut in the 1997-98 "Macca" quickly made his mark and has been one
of the most consistent players to play for the Club, averaging over 20 in each season.

With a batting average of 43.50, this former Sheffield Shield player was destined to be
chosen as a middle order batsman in the Team of 25 Years. Holds the club record of
most runs in a season with 813 back in 1986-87, a record which will take some beating.

durable players missing only a handful of matches. Has also become a successful
captain winning back to back premierships in 04/05 (A2) and 05/06 (A1). A handy back
up wicketkeeper in this team and became a life member in 2004/05.
NATHAN DADDS 1984-CURRENT

Premierships: 12
Batting: 5379 runs, 26.37 average, 100's: 2, 50's: 24, HS 110 vs Ashgrove

Fielding: 131 catches
Another one of the first people picked in the Team of the 25 Years, quite possibly the
only honour missing from a brilliant career. Recently surpassed the incredible
milestone of 5000 runs and 500 wickets and continues to produce the results. Winner
of Paul Stafford Medal in 2004/05 and runner up in 2005/06. Has also taken 2 hat-tricks,

Bowling: 234 wickets, 12.16 average, 10W/M: 0, 5W/I: 4, BB: 6-15 vs Indooroopilly District
Fielding: 40 catches
Fine allrounder whose statistics don’t tell the full story because of the missing
scorebooks from prior to 1984-85. Consistent bowler and more than handy batsman and
widely regarded by those who played with him as the best bowler they have played with.
ROD BUCHNER 1984-CURRENT
Allrounder
Games Played: 206
Premierships: 6
Batting: 2327 runs, 16.39 average, 100's: 0, 50's: 3, HS: 91* vs Ashgrove
Bowling: 482 wickets, 12.06 average, 10W/M: 2, 5W/I: 14, BB: 7-16 vs Brookfield
Fielding: 81 catches
Consistent player over a number of years who was largely responsible for a C2
premiership victory in 1996/97 playing a huge role in the Grand Final. Big clubman who
wears his heart on his sleeve and could not be left out of this team. Should achieve the
staggering feat of 500 wickets in the 2006/07 season.
RICK BADRICK 1990-2005
Fast Bowler
Games Played: 97
Premierships: 3
Batting: 1324 runs, 17.19 average, 100's: 0, 50's: 4, HS: 78 vs Brookfield
Bowling: 326 wickets, 8.43 average, 10W/M: 7, 5W/I: 27, BB: 7-23 vs Rochedale South
Fielding: 47 catches
One of the first bowlers picked in this side due to his amazing strike-rate and average
over a number of seasons in every grade. Has taken 5 wickets an innings on a
mammoth 27 occasions and also has the ability to churn out runs when needed. Was
named Player of the Year in 2000/01.
BRUCE SPENCER 1996-2000
Fast Bowler
Games Played: 40

Bowling: 96 wickets, 10.79 average, 10W/M: 0, 5W/I: 2, BB: 6-32 vs Logan City
Fielding: 10 catches
One of the few left arm quick bowlers to make an impact for the club and was a key
selection in this team due to his strike-rate and ability to perform at the highest grade.
12TH MAN
TIM COCKRAM 1999-CURRENT
Allrounder
Games Played: 75
Premierships: 0
Batting: 1665 runs, 22.50 average, 100's: 2, 50's: 5, HS: 105* vs Logan City
Bowling: 245 wickets, 9.45 average, 10W/M: 3, 5W/I: 13, BB: 8-3 vs Springwood

Unlucky not to make the starting team in a very strong side. Very consistent
performer in every team he has played in. Won the inaugural Paul Stafford Medal in
2002/03 in a tie with teammate Craig Louis. Continues to take wickets at a miserly
manner.
