I have to admit that Boxing Day is MY DAY.
I mean that in the nicest possible way.
It’s not that I don’t like people.
I do like people.
Well, most people.
Not batsmen when they refused to get out.
Not fast bowlers when they made me dive down the leg side.
Not umpires when they make dud decisions. Arthur Watson came to mind with a certain leg side stumping about 4000 years ago.
But by and large I do like people.
But on Boxing Day my liking for people changes.
Because on Boxing Day I am watching the cricket.
Period.
It’s MY DAY.
Now, it doesn’t mean other people can’t join me.
They can.
They are not so much welcome as tolerated. They become welcome when they bring me a drink. In front of the TV.
Because I’m, watching the cricket.
There are 2 times during the day I become sociable for those not watching the cricket with me.
One lasts for 40 minutes. The other for 20 minutes.
And after the cricket is over, I become my old social self again.
But during playing hours, on MY DAY, I watch the cricket.
Even when my eyelids become heavy, I’m watching the cricket.
Boxing Day is MY DAY.

Sir Gordon Greenidge on his first idol

There have been lots of people that I've admired but there's only one person I'd call an idol.

That man was John Arlott, and I'm proud to say that he was hugely influential in my life. He was a massive reason I signed for Hampshire, and I had a huge amount of respect for him. He was a great man in and out of cricket. I'm lucky that my idol was also my friend.

Murray Radcliffe love of cricket crosses all aspects of the game. He’s been a player, selector, administrator and coach and has and continues to make a tremendous contribution.

He is a life member of Australian National University Cricket Club and Cricket ACT.

Murray arrived at Western Suburbs in Sydney in 1984 and in 5 seasons with Wests and one at St George he took 245 wickets at an average of 18.79. Best figures of 7 for 43 and he took 5 wickets in an innings 10 times. Murray was incredibly unluckily not to have been selected to play for NSW

In Canberra playing for ANU Murray took 257 wickets at an average of 16.5.

In March of 1979, Western District, who were leading the first grade competition, played Northern Suburbs in the penultimate match before the semi-finals.

Norths, who were having a poor season, blooded some young players with a view to the future and realistically were given no chance against the powerful Wests lineup.

On a typical Majura wicket, that did no batsman any favours, Norths were sent in and bowled out in their first innings for 101, with Wests one for 22 in reply at stumps on the first day.

Rain during the week did nothing to settle the Majura wicket down, however, Wests Bruce Willett and Greg Beacroft on resuming their innings, safely commandeered the first 30 minutes taking the score to 41 before Willett was dismissed.

As the wicket dried out, the ball started playing more tricks than a magicians convention and in particular the decidedly quick Randall Strongman, was making the odd delivery rear from a good length.

Wests strong batting lineup were good enough to reach 6-98, only four runs from victory, when the wheels fell off and four wickets fell for no runs including three to Strongman in his last over.

Norths, having prised victory from the jaws of defeat, celebrated as if they had won the premiership, while Wests despondently headed to their dressing shed where their captain, Dene Moore, tore strips off them for losing to a bottom placed side.

Only a thin brick wall divided the two change rooms and Moore’s dressing down of his team provided wonderful entertainment to the young victorious Norths players.

However, there was still a couple of hours of playing time remaining, so Norths with one player absent, prepared to get in some extended batting practice for the next season.

The Wests captain Dene Moore was one of the great medium pace bowlers in the history of Canberra cricket and his competitive streak and pride, had not been factored into the equation.

Moore ripped through the opposition top order batting to have Norths 4-0 and eventually all out for 28, with Wests winning the match outright by nine wickets.

The Wests captain ended up with figures of 5-10 off ten overs and, in what must be a Canberra first grade record, an astonishing 8 wickets fell for no runs, Wests last four and Norths top four.

Barry Everingham has made a lifetime contribution to sport especially in regional NSW.

In his prime he was a wicket keeper batter representing NSW Country and the Northern NSW Emu’s and he was the No 10 for NSW Country in Rugby Union.

In recent years Barry has been one of the greatest advocates for Veterans Cricket. He has encouraged, enticed, and inspired many to join the “Men’s Shed” and play Veterans Cricket.

Those who know Barry will know how much he’ll treasure this wonderful gift presented to him by his good mate Steve Gray

Tahs move into Xmas break with dominant performances – Weekend Wrap 23rd December 2023

Saturday saw the Men conclude the first half of their season with a dominant showing against Campbelltown-Camden across the grades, the Tahs taking 4 wins from the 5 clashes with the Ghosts.

M1s bounced back strongly from an agonising defeat last start, with an important away victory. Losing the toss, a decent start from Joel Foster (21) was halted by a few quick wickets to have the Tahs 4/59, before Ryan Farrell (51) and Ned Hole (38) combined for a crucial 79 run partnership to shift the momentum, Faz anchoring the Tahs’ innings while Ned took the attack to the Ghosts’ bowlers. Late cameos from Lachlan Coyte (27) and Ryan Hadley (19*) pushing the score to a competitive 222. Early breakthroughs to Hadley and Tom Kaye kicked off the bowling innings, until the Ghosts consolidated to have the game in the balance. Both set batters were soon gone though as Bertie Foreman picked up the first before being involved again shortly after with a ripping catch off the bowling of Josh Seward. From there, a consistent flow of wickets including poles to Foreman and Joel Foster kept the Tahs on top, but it was Seward who starred picking up his maiden 1st Grade five-wicket haul in a classy display of fast bowling. The Tahs victorious by 51 runs as the Ghosts were bowled out for 171.
