It is a pleasure to photograph the straight arm that some Sturt bowlers end up with, after releasing the bowl.
In this one aspect of the delivery action, the photographs over 2025 show that one female bowler, Sharon Gray, challenges the impressive delivery styles of the top male bowlers at the club.
In the set of photographs following, photos of Sharon are paired with photos of ten of the regular bowlers in Sturt's first side on Saturdays. These comparisons highlight Sharon's outstanding action.
Further photos published this year reveal that other women "straight-armers" at the club include Joanne Kirby, Fiona Mansfield, Karen Esdale, Wendy Adams and Jenny Johns.
Men "straight-armers" include Peter Welsh, Andy Hardy, Brett Lymn, Alan King, Jeff Evans and Stewart Allen.
Led by Sharon, all of them are a delight to photograph.
