Corrimal are hoping big-hitting Bankstown batsman Dean Magee can propel them to victory in tonight's Illawarra Twenty20 semi-final.Magee will be guest player for the Cougars against Helensburgh in the first game of a double-header at North Dalton Park.The right-hander has been in red-hot form of late for Bankstown, smashing 139 from 80 balls against North Sydney recently, one of three centuries he has scored in Sydney grade this year.His explosive hitting will complement the strokeplay of captain Graeme Batty, who is fresh off his 180 from 140 against Wests last weekend.Batty knows Magee through work and said he will be a perfect fit for Corrimal."He's a bustling, big-hitting right-hander," Batty said."He is a very experienced first grade player and a Twenty20 specialist. He's a good friend of mine, he's won first grade competitions with Fairfield-Liverpool and Bankstown.""He played against us in the Illawarra rep versus Bankstown earlier in the year and he wanted to come down again and play at North Dalton Park."The second leg of the double header is the semi-final between Balgownie and Oak Flats.
