If the trends that have already been set for the 2020-21 season, it looks likes Bathurst bowlers will be at top at the end.

Club: Bathurst City

Wickets: 17

BBI: 7-25 vs Kinross, round seven

Moxon's most recent performance with the ball is the main reason why Bathurst City have suddenly thrown itself into finals contentions.

Moxon and his Redbacks teammates were having a difficult season, having collected just one win heading in the seventh round match against Kinross, the final match before Christmas.

But Moxon went crazy with the ball, his seven-wicket haul in the first innings helping deliver the Redbacks an outright win against the students.

He got himself two more wickets during the second innings, to finish the match with figures of 9-41 over two innings.

Prior to the round seven match, Moxon had been ticking over fairly consistently, with a pair of wickets against Centrals in round two and two three-fors against Cavaliers in round four and against Centennials Bulls in round six.

If Redbacks want to push for a top four spot and play finals come March, the club will need Moxon in form, especially considering the next three opponents - CYMS, St Pat's Old Boys and Cavaliers.

Club: City Colts

Wickets: 15

BBI: 5-21 vs Bathurst City, round one

Always a threat, City Colts skipper Dan Casey has shown why he's one of Bathurst's most consistent bowlers.

According to MyCricket, Casey has taken 132 wickets in 87 matches in first grade since the 2012-13 season, including this year's figures.

With 15 wickets so far this season, Casey is within reach of his best figures since his 2013-14 Bathurst District Cricket Association first grade campaign when he took 20 wickets in just eight matches.

His best figures was a five-for, in the opening round of the Bathurst Orange District Cricket season against Bathurst City, a performance that played a major part in Colts' easy nine-wicket win.

With Colts currently in a finals position in fourth, Casey's form with the ball will play a crucial part in whether his team is a part of play-off cricket at the end of the season.

Club: St Pat's Old Boys

Wickets: 13

BBI: 5-27 vs CYMS, round four

St Pat's Old Boys youngster Jack Goodsell has already enjoyed a fantastic debut season in Bathurst Orange Inter District Cricket.

Having played second grade for the Saints for the past three season, he got his call up in round one but wasn't unable to get a wicket.

But in round two against Rugby Union he took four wickets and got himself his first five-wicket haul against CYMS in the first innings of round five, before one more in the second innings.

Other wickets came against Kinross in round five (two) and City Colts in round seven (one).

His performance with the ball shouldn't come as a surprise, having been one of St Stanislaus' College's main wicket-takers in its ISA campaigns in recent seasons.
