Bob Thomas - From Wade Park, Orange to Chatswood Oval: An Unexpected Call Up
Having played two seasons for Sutherland, employment led me to the North Shore, Gordon Cricket Club and Chatswood Oval. The team was captained by the venerable Dick Guy, who demanded his high expectations be met each and every game. Behind the stumps was the Australian wicketkeeper, Brian Taber, a champion player and an even better bloke. I used to field in the covers, and survey the field, almost pinching myself how wonderful it was to be part of such a competitive team.
