Green Island medium pacer Dion Lobb has taken a staggering 700 wickets for the senior side. Green Island medium-pacer Dion Lobb has had his treasured cap so long the umpires do a double take when he takes it off and hands it to them before bowling. Lobb moved to the top of Green Island’s wicket-taking list when he eclipsed Grant Payne’s career haul of 649 wickets last season. Lobb joined Green Island when he was "about 14 or 15". Lobb has played 348 senior games which means he has averaged 2.01 wickets a game, so he is right on target.
