Reflections on Playing at Chatswood Oval - Jim Cattlin

Jim Cattlin – First Grade opening bat in the 1960s and 1970s.

Ian Davis joined Gordon in the 1973-74 season. In his first match he and Marshall Rosen had an opening partnership of 193. The next week Ian and I opened and partnered for 261 – Davis 170, Cattlin 88. Ian timed the ball so well and hit it so hard the umpire and I at the bowler’s end took several steps back to avoid being hit by his drives. I was happy for him to have the strike.
