Geoffrey Williams ‘Furry’ – A Crafty Slow Bowler

As a junior player for the Baulkham Hills club Geoff first appeared for Central Cumberland in the 1963/64 A.W. Green Shield team, but it was not until the 1966/67 season that he joined the club’s senior ranks. Debuting in Fourth grade and closing his initial season in Third grade. He was ‘an instant success’ capturing 54 wickets @ 12.63 (40 in 4ths and 14 in 3rds).

Like a lot of slow bowlers Geoff approached his cricket with an air of eccentricity, but he was a highly competitive player who simply loved to bowl, he thrived on plenty of work, and he was a marvellous fieldsman – ‘off his own bowling’.
