West became the latest addition to the BDCA’s “99 Club” last Saturday when he was dismissed one run shy on a ton against Kangaroo Flat when caught by wicket-keeper Nathan Stubbings off Brent Hamblin.
The Hawks’ opening batsman became the 11th player to a score a first XI 99 in the BDCA since 2000.

“I knew I was on 99 because it was on the scoreboard (at the QEO) and I just chased a wide delivery,” West said on Wednesday.
“I hadn’t chased one like that all day, but thought I’ll bang it into the covers to get a single and get to 100, but it wasn’t to be.
“The most important thing though was it was a big game for us that we needed to win and we were able to do that, so I was still happy with the day.”
After a 0-3 start the reigning premier Hawks have now won two in a row during which they have made scores of 404 and 5-308.
