Riley Juriun

Riley Juriun, is a fictional player who participates in the Milton Premier League. Juriun made a huge name for himself as a skillful leg spinner bowler for the Wild Warthogs and is currently the franchise leading wicket taker despite not playing a role in MPL 04. Riley burst onto the MPL when he took his career best figures of 4-10 by taking the MPL's first Double Hattrick against the Revenant Ravens.

Career
MPL 01

Juriun was originally unsold in the MPL 01 auction. However, an opportunity to play came about as the Wild Warthogs made an in-season draft. Juriun bowled well across his first few games, but his major impact came about as he played the Revenant Ravens where he dropped two simple catches in the deep as the Ravens took control of the game. However, as it would happen Juriun came into the attack and managed to take a hattrick. With Riley Meredith the number 11 batter, Juriun needed one wicket to win the game for the Warthogs and despite a nice sweep from Meredith, Shaun Marsh took a screamer of a catch to complete the MPL's only double hattrick. Juriun finished the season taking 7 wickets at a staggering average of 6.29 with an economy of 4.63 as the Warthogs were knocked out in the Eliminator.

MPL 02

Despite the enormous impact that Riley Juriun had made for the Warthogs in such a small space of time, none of the other teams across the league really took Juriun seriously and dismissed him as a one hit wonder, since 4 of his 7 wickets came from one outing. However, the Warthogs were backing Juriun to succeed for them yet again and he delivered for them. Juriun managed to take 13 wickets at an unbelievable average of 13.85 adding to that an economy of 6.67 (averaging a wicket every 12.46 balls too). This included figures of 4-16 that Riley took against the Crabs where he was unlucky to miss out on more possible wickets as he was taken out of the attack. Juriun's performances buoyed the Warthogs to the Challenger where they were unlucky to miss out on a Grand Final as the Crabs clinched the match with the last ball bowled. Riley Juriun was awarded the Warthogs' player of the season for his outstanding bowling performances across the season.

MPL 03

With the impact that Juriun had made with the Warthogs, it was finally time he caught the attention of another MPL team as the Crabs took him for a gigantic sum of $2M. More to come...
