Georgia Adams Looking Forward To ‘Entertaining’ WBBL Final
Southern Vipers’ captain Georgia Adams could lift her fourth trophy of 2023 as her Adelaide Strikers take on Brisbane Heat in the final of the WBBL
Felix Organ is a right-hand batter and right-arm off-spinner.
He was born in Sydney, Australia and is a product of Hampshire’s highly successful youth system.
The top-order batter featured for all of Hampshire’s age-group sides, impressing with his potential as a top-order batter and occasional off-spin as well as his leadership skills, leading Hampshire U17s to the ECB Under-17 County Championship win in 2015.
After impressive performances for Hampshire Academy and Hampshire Second XI as a teenager, he made his First XI debut against Middlesex in the County Championship in September 2017, before signing a professional deal in 2018.
Organ captained the Hampshire Academy in the Southern Premier League for both the 2017 and 2018 seasons, and lead the league in run scoring for the 2018 season with 843 runs. He also performed for the Second XI, scoring three hundreds in the Second XI Championship.
After being awarded his first professional contract, he became a regular fixture at the top of the order in 2019, featuring in all of the remaining six County Championship games to conclude the season.
And his insertion into the side provided instant reward as Organ recorded his maiden century against Kent in only his third First-Class game, whilst also recording career-best figures of 5-25 to secure victory against Surrey to conclude the campaign.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a truncated 2020 domestic season, Organ did have an opportunity to feature in all five Bob Willis Trophy fixtures. He also made his T20 debut against Surrey.
A valuable member of Hampshire's four-day and One-Day squads in 2021, Organ provided some important contributions with both bat and ball. A season high score of 79 in the Royal London Cup was a highlight of his season.
Having begun the 2022 season batting at seven in the County Championship, he was pushed to the top of the order, where he excelled. 726 runs at an average of 31.56 with two centuries – including a career best of 118 against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham – was backed up by ten wickets. He was only one of just five players to play in all 14 games.
Organ made 16 appearances across the County Championship and Metro Bank One Day Cup during 2023. He made an important 97 against Somerset to help rescue a draw at Taunton.
