Proving yourself at a new club can be a hard road but for Anoop Singh and Tony Sidebottom their path to MUCC stardom has been nice and quick.
Sidebottom, a former University of NSW cricketer, has combined outswingers, off-cutters and a lethal bouncer to take 6/21 and 6/58 in his two outings for the club. Having moved to Fitzroy to be the store manager of Castle Books in Gertrude Street, Sidebottom is commemorating his six-wicket hauls by discounting Glenn McGrath's World Cup Diary to $9.95.
Anoop, better known as Poona to his new teammates, has done his best Pat O'Beirne impersonation by blasting 127 opening the innings.
Premiership-winner Adam Trevitt then made sure the brilliant century wasn't wasted by taking 7/62, with five Carlton players having their furniture rearranged.
