 Profile

After a breakthrough season in 2004-05, injuries and a lack of wickets have stopped Brett Geeves becoming a permanent member of Tasmania's teams. A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Geeves played six Pura Cup matches last season and removed 12 batsmen at 63.83. By the end of the summer Ben Hilfenhaus, Damien Wright, Adam Griffith, Luke Butterworth and Brendan Drew were all ahead of Geeves in the fully-fit attack. He also made seven one-day appearances for eight wickets at 40.5. Geeves can deliver in-swinging yorkers that are particularly dangerous in limited-overs affairs and he picked up 20 wickets in the 2004-05 ING Cup, the second most in the competition behind Shaun Tait, and was a key performer in Tasmania's trophy success. His first-class debut also arrived in that season and he collected 23 victims before a knee problem the following year limited his output. A former national under-19 and Academy representative, Geeves is an improving lower-order batsman who produced two handy Pura Cup half-centuries in 2006-07. He was signed up by Delhi Daredevils, an IPL franchise, in 2008 for US $50,000.
