Profile
Julian Boot burst on to the Warehouse Cricket scene in a blaze of glory with a
man-of-the-match performance in his debut match against Betta/Panasonic. The
consummate all-rounder, Boot is equally at home with either bat and ball in
hand, and is a more than capable gloveman whether taking thunderbolts from
Jennings, fizzing leg-breaks from Meng or diving wide to prevent Hunter's wides
from reaching the boundary.
For sheer consistency, Boot has few equals and has maintained a Warehouse
career average of over 10. His temperament is exemplary and his concentration
legendary. A batsman who revels in a crisis, Boot played a lone hand in
holding together a patchy Raid God innings against Betta/Panasonic. A poor run
against Northern Dragons (exacerbated by some poor umpiring decisions) seems to
have been only a passing phase and he is likely to return to top form soon.
For the 32 year old journeyman who currently hails from Wooloongabba - just a
stone's throw from the famous ground - a position in the Kenyan Rain Gods
represents a return to Brisbane after an unhappy two-year stint in Melbourne
where he was unable to get a game. The political issues that contrived to keep
him out of the game in Melbourne finally behind him, Boot's playing future
seems bright. A well-publicised promotional deal with Mako Eyewear ensures his
financial security, leaving him to spend more time honing his already finely
tuned game.
