the local cricket scene with a dynamite performance against the Australian Test team.

He opened the bowling for the St. George's Cup Match Select with Kenny Phillips and the two were responsible for skittling the then-world one-day champions out for under 150.

That was the impetus for both to be later named as Cup Match colts, but not much has gone right for Braithwaite since.

Not until Saturday when the Barbadian ripped the heart out of St. David's and led Bailey's Bay to the Eastern Counties Cup.

For that performance, Braithwaite tops this week's Fab Five and is joined by Bay team-mates Charlie Marshall and Ricky Hill, Dexter Basden of Willow Cuts and Kenny Phillips of St. George's.

Anthony Braithwaite: The man in the middle of Bay's finest triumph in the 1990s. Claimed five for 31 in 13.2 overs, culminating with the bowled dismissal of Herbie Bascome. Bowled with fire and determination in two spells and was a constant source of bother to the St. David's batsmen. Also had a hand in two others dismissals as he caught Albert Steede and Lionel Cann at crucial stages in the match.

Charlie Marshall: Was the anchor man in Bay's Jekyll and Hyde innings, which collapsed to 168 all out after they were 112 for two. His knock ended on 50 with a reckless pull shot. Returned the next day against Southampton to score 66 in a one-sided victory that all but confirmed Bay's Camel Cup place next season.

Dexter Basden: Scoring runs regularly since Cup Match, though he would be disappointed falling nine runs short of a century against Social Club on Sunday.

Ricky Hill: Made his top score of season (79) against Southampton and could be finally shaking the shackles of an inconsistent campaign.

Kenny Phillips: Blasted 58 in a half-hour to take St. George's to respectable total. Returned to take two for 19 from one of his more controlled spells.
