Cricket stars Greg Blewett and Holly Ferling were the guest speakers at Mayor Wayne Kratzmann’s charity breakfast in Nanango on Tuesday morning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 17, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett hosted a visit by former Australian cricketer Greg Blewett this week, and like a true all-rounder he took in a charity breakfast, cricket training and a round of golf.<\/p>\n

His visit was sponsored by Kingaroy businessman Scott McLennan, from South Burnett Radiology, who counts Blewett as a personal friend and accompanied him on his whistlestop tour.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning, Blewett was one of the guest speakers at South Burnett mayor Wayne Kratzmann’s charity breakfast held at the Nanango Cultural Centre.<\/p>\n

He joined Kingaroy’s own cricket star, Holly Ferling, behind the mike to talk to the assembled guests.<\/p>\n

The breakfast raised funds for the Mayor’s Charity Trust which is supporting local causes.<\/p>\n

A polo shirt signed by the two stars was raffled to raise even more funds.<\/p>\n

Later on Tuesday, Blewett was in more familiar surroundings … in the nets at Kingaroy’s Lyle Vidler Oval.<\/p>\n

Half a dozen of the South Burnett’s most promising young cricketers – and veteran cricketer Nev Kratzmann who is heading overseas in February to play for Australia in an Over 60s competition – had the opportunity of getting batting tips from the former Aussie star.<\/p>\n

And there’s no doubt about Blewett’s prowess; \u00a0he made his Test debut\u00a0against England at Adelaide Oval in January 1995 where he made a century, including 12 fours.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Blewett swapped his bat for a golf club, taking part in another charity fundraiser, this time for the Cancer Council of Queensland.<\/p>\n

The more-than-competent golfer – he has represented South Australia at amateur level \u00a0– played a round of golf at Kingaroy Golf Club with local social golfers.<\/p>\n
