THE Addy today begins a six-part look at the decade that was in the Emu Valley Cricket Association, beginning with a focus on the ball and the top 10 wicket-takers for each club.
The timeframe covers the 2009-10 to 2018-19 seasons - a period in which 496 players took at least one division wicket.
Across the competition five of the 10 clubs had players who took at least 150 wickets for the decade - California Gully's Brad Webster (185), Emu Creek's Simon Marwood (169), Sedgwick's Scott McKenzie (155, including 115 after he had planned to retire in 2012), Marong's Jeremy Ross (152) and West Bendigo's Dion Prange (151).
Other club leading wicket-takers through the decade were Travis Nolan at Axe Creek (81 wickets), Brett Haw at Maiden Gully (142), Cain Ladiges at Mandurang (146), Alex Sutton at Spring Gully (111) and Alex Collins at United (141).
Throughout the decade 22 players took at least 100 wickets, while the biggest season with the ball was Axe Creek's Tim Mannes in 2009-10 with 38 wickets..
