Brian is the showman of the team and has one of the largest fan bases of any current player. Youngsters idolise him. The elderly adore him. When not entertaining the masses on court, Brian devotes his time in creating/tinkering/updating the Multi Award winning Outhouse you see before you. His journey from gawky kid to international role model is an inspiration to all.

 

"We used to see Brian patiently waiting outside the court at the end of a match where he would offer to carry our bats." reminisced one former Blackout great, "One day he mustered the courage to say 'Gee Mister, can I have a game!' and has been here ever since."

 

Known as 'Breeon' or the 'Pit Fiend' to players & fans or 'Awww Bullsh#t' by opponents, Brian's main drawcard is his athletic dives, slaps and tumbles at point or affectionately known as the 'Pit'.

 

Brian's bowling is just one of his weapons. Once thought as a genuine quick (until the Speed Gun proved his bowling was in fact Langy pace), Brian's smoke and mirrors bowling style bamboozles the opposition batsmen into error. Unfortunately, his bowling doesn't get the rewards it deserves and he is fast challenging Col as the unluckiest bowler on the planet.

 

Brian's batting style is best described as 'unique' with his power hitting game based around his signature stroke (some kind of sweep shot thing). Brian has recently discovered the back-net and seems to have a taste for dispatching opponents to it.

 

Has a habit of bringing fans to watch matches and then marrying them.
