My first game of grade cricket was at Killara Oval in 1969 in 3rd Grade. I was filling in just before Christmas as, I think, some players had gone away on holidays. The captain of the side that day was Graham, or should I say, Mr King. I was a callow youth of 15 at the time, and quite terrified.
However, there was no need to be nervous as we were in good hands with Graham and his long time friend and great player, Bob Lowing, keeping everything together.
