Greg Geise

An explosive batsman, very handy medium pacer and great fielder. Would be a sensation in short form game.

Greg my pick by the length of the straight.

There were many growing up and playing grade cricket in Sydney in the 70’s.
There are 4 that stood out.
Ray Phillips who moved to Qld.
Kim Foster who moved to the USA and now in Caves Creek AZ.
Greg Hartshorne now in Port Macquarie.
Finally Marty Bedcober who sadly passed playing cricket in Brisbane.

Western Suburbs player No 440 Malcolm Grave was an extremely good batsman who if he continued playing Cricket would have attained higher honours.

Not someone I played with but working at Qld Cricket when he was a junior coming through, Chris Hartley and from playing days and sticking with the wicketkeeper theme, Peter Anderson.

Wade Seccombe - fantastic wicketkeeper but lived in the shadow of Ian Healy

Explosive talent Scott Hookey closely followed by Greg Douglas, Dougo was such a talented ball striker

Peter Clifford. First Australian under 19 skipper and brilliant batter for both NSW and Queensland.

Playing for Central Cumberland District Cricket Club, I was lucky enough to play with a few Test cricketers, Richie Benaud, his brother John, Doug Walters and Greg Matthews. A couple of players who had great ability were Rod "Budgie" Tucker, a talented all round cricketer, excellent middle order batsman, aggressive medium pace bowler and wonderful fielder who would make an excellent limited overs player. He ended up moving to Tasmania and captaining that state in the Sheffield Shield.
Also Bobby Atken, a talented off spin bowler who took over a thousand wickets in the Sydney grade competition. I remember fielding at slip when Bobby Aitken was bowling to Bobby Simpson. Simmo was beaten by a lovely Aitken delivery and he turned to the keeper and myself and said "If Aitken had a brain he would play for Australia". That was Bobby Aitken's problem he could be a difficult character to deal with.
