It was high praise from someone with a vast collection of RSL-Whitney Cup titles to his name.

With that comment in mind and the fact Colts currently sits on top of the ladder with only one loss to their name it would be easy to think the men in red are dominating both the run-scoring and wicket-taking charts at the season's midway point.

But that isn't the case.

Colts' strength this season is its quality of depth.

There's been no standout with bar or ball. Only one player has taken 10 or more wickets, that's captain Marty Jeffrey with 10, while only Charlie Kempston and Chris Morton have more than 200 runs to their name so far and that has them sitting eighth and 10^th respectively in the RSL-Whitney Cup's leading run-scorer charts.

"We've got 'Sticks' (Morton) and JR (Jason Ryan) batting at seven and eight and I could quite easily change it and have them opening or one opening and one at three," Jeffrey said.

"I don't think we're going to have someone who stands out and wins the runs but as a unit we could have five or six in the top 15 and that stands us in good stead."

Colts are on track to achieve that as the statistics show just how many players have contributed to the side's success so far this season.

Seven different players have scored half centuries for the leaders up to this point, more than any other side, while a number of bowlers are hot on the heels of Jeffrey for the side's wicket-taking prize.

Jeffrey's 10 leads the way so far but both Grant Malouf, arguably his side's best bowler up to this point, and Bede Young have nine wickets while Taylor has eight and Mitch Bower has seven.

"It's been really good as captain to have so many options with bat and ball," Jeffrey added.

And, in a warning to the rest of the competition, Jeffrey doesn't think his side has played its best cricket yet this season.

While pleased with the way things are going currently, Jeffrey said he would like to see players be more greedy and produce some of the dominant efforts which have been lacking up to this point.

The captain can't wait for that to happen given this Colts side is one of the strongest on paper in the competition's recent history.

"We've got a lot of hitters and it's exciting when you've got six or so hitters in the order so we'll keep looking to attack and when it comes together it's going to be scary," he said.

"The same with the bowlers too, we're going to be hard to beat."

The talent and depth of it is one thing but having fun has also been key for Colts this season.

The club has enjoyed a huge amount of success in the past two decades but it's the mood within the camp, rather than all the results, which stands out the most at the moment.

"The core group of the side has been playing together for a long time and I've only come in the last four or five years and what I've noticed is not just how competitive they are but how much they enjoy their cricket on and off the field," Jeffrey said.

"We've said when we're enjoying ourselves on the field we play our best cricket."

The RSL-Whitney Cup resumes from its Christmas and New Year's break on January 9, where Colts will meet the fourth-placed Newtown at No. 2 Oval.
