[edit] 2004/05

After infamously winning the Hole in the Bat award in two consecutive seasons, Justin set about looking for a three-peat. It was not to be as the lanky left-hander put together two 30s, and a 60 in a memorable century opening stand with long time batting partner Tim Burchfield. Justin was quoted as saying "I'm drowning in runs! I don't know what to do!". He ended the year with 181 runs at 16.45, and unfortunately for him he fell far short on the Hole in the Bat award, given to Will Walton.

[edit] 2005/06

After a year without the Hole in the Bat award, Justin tried to get it back, and looked successful early as he opened the year with three ducks. After finally managing 33 at the top of the order, he lost his spot with another duck and was shunted down to the 2nd XI and further down the order. He ended the year with a promising 46, but was disappointing once again. Unfortunately, he was not disappointing enough to win his Hole in the Bat award for a record third time. At just 24 years old, he has plenty of time to add to his already impressive tally of two awards. Justin did, however, take home the duck award for his four ducks at the start of the year, shared with Adam Ephraums.

[edit] 2006/07

Justin began the year in the 2nd XI and exploded into action early with two very impressive innings of 58no, and a lightning fast 78 against Monash. Enjoying his spot at number 4, he was soon moved to number 5 in the 1st XI and started to transfer his form over there. The comparably weak 1st XI batting line up often left him stranded as he ended the year with five not outs, massaging his average to an impressive 56.17 for the year.

Justin's finest hour came in the must-win game of Round 11 at St Andrews Gardiner. Faced with the proposition of relegation, chasing 196 and being 4/40, Justin entered at 6 and was ably supported by both Scott Archibald and Craig Tweedly as he peeled off a vital 79 not out, in arguably the finest innings in the 1st XI of the last five years. Justin appeared to be returning to his teenage form with 337 runs for the year.

[edit] 2007/08

The middle-order Justin found 2007/08 slightly harder. After starting the year positively with two half centuries in three games, Justin began to struggle, often proving to be hit and miss with his batting. He ended the year with 199 runs at 19.90, and will be looking for a big 2008/09.
