A Tribute to Rhett Williamson, "Mr. Not-Out"

It's high time for a word or two on the brilliance of Rhett Williamson, who came from Western Australia to rescue Shelton's 2008 season. Rhett has gone back to Australia now, but it was a pleasure to have a guy like him in the team. Whether hitting a crucial 78 to guide Shelton to a tricky win, or leg-spinning his way to four wickets, he was hitting the high standards all summer long. Rhett's home town, Collie, is best known for its coal-mining and power stations. The local media in Collie, the self-proclaimed "Power Centre of the West", seem interested in Rhett's progress at Shelton, as shown in this piece in the Collie Mail.

Rhett's brother Cade, who played cricket in London in 2003, has called his little brother "the most not-out cricketer I have ever seen". This club has to agree, and thank the Aussie for his efforts. Keep it real, Rhetty.
