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.
