You don't have to be the smartest person on the planet to understand i love cricket. It has given me everything and continues to be my number 1 passion.

This season, 2Reds Apparel started a three year partnership with the South Coast District Cricket Association.

The South Coast is a place that I hold close to my heart and a place I have always called home. My journey started in a little town called Jamberoo. We had next to nothing, but we had everything when it came to sport. South Coast cricket gave me an opportunity to showcase my skills at a representative level and I'll always be grateful. I can still remember the day I was presented my playing cap.

As you can tell, our connection with the south coast at 2Reds Apparel runs very deep. We are looking forward to the next three years and beyond. Nothing but the best for the athletes looking to better themselves on and off the field. We can't wait to give these players the opportunity to feel those amazing emotions when they put the 2Reds Apparel kit on for the first time, just like I did so many years ago.

Keep striving to be better! 💯💯💯❤️💯💯💯💯💯

The Poidevin-Gray is, like its little brother the AW Green Shield, a quality Competition and one whose continuing strength is absolutely vital to preserving high standards in the Grade game. There were five rounds played in a 60/60 format; lose a match and it was pretty much sudden death. Very often, since the age restriction remains Under 21, PG teams can appear unbeatable on paper because they contain a large number of higher-Grade players.

In the beautiful suburb of Hornsby Heights, Friday evenings at Montview Oval turn into a carnival-like atmosphere. There’s music, dancing and lots of cricket, played by girls who just can’t have enough fun.

Montview Oval is equipped to run two cricket matches next to each other, and come Friday this season, Stage 1 girl players (8-12 years-old) who have, until now, mostly played Cricket Blast, or haven’t played cricket at all, gather in the afternoon sun to play against each other’s teams.

This is a celebration of girls’ cricket all the way. The ball is pink, the kit is colourful, and no one needs to wear white unless they choose to. There’s music playing on a boom box and the girls are dancing with their bats, inventing cricketing moves and perfecting their legwork all in one. A few pink hoodie-wearing fielders are around the field, ready for a catch, or to stop that opening batter’s boundary attempt.

Mosman Cricket Club

Fifty years ago, Mosman’s Poidevin-Gray side won the competition undefeated in its six matches.

Eight members of that 1973-74 team enjoyed their 50-year reunion yesterday. Unfortunately, two members of the original 11 had since passed away and two were uncontactable.

Whilst several of the team went on to have long and illustrious careers with the MCC and at higher levels of cricket, one player achieved a feat in the competition which will probably never be replicated… and it was not Allan Border.

Alexander Racklyeft (‘Sandy’) was an opening bowler who swung the ball both ways and at good pace. He took an amazing 51 wickets at an average of 6.6 in six matches. ! Bear in mind these were one-day matches, (60overs each) but you could win outright, and the final was a two-day game over consecutive Sundays.

On 12 July 2015 at the Sutherland District Cricket Club Annual General meeting for the 2014/15 season Phil Jaques was nominated for Life Membership of the club

Here is Phil Jaques Nomination for Life Membership as presented by Tom Iceton

NOMINATION OF PHIL JAQUES FOR LIFE MEMBERSHIP

Phil Jaques joined Sutherland from Wollongong in 1996-97, having played for NSW Under 17s the previous season. He was selected in 2nd Grade and was immediately successful, scoring 593 runs at 37.1. He also scored a century in his first season of Poidevin-Gray Shield. He made his 1st Grade debut on 4th October 1997, but struggled early on and was dropped back to 2nds. He showed what he was made of, responding with a score of 208 just before Christmas and that was the last time he was seen in 2nds. Over the next five seasons from 1998-99, his season aggregates in 1st Grade were 788, 775, 548, 717 and 902 (3730 runs at 41.0), as he first reached Sheffield Shield selection for NSW and then established himself as a regular member of the team.

My best Grade team - Matt Whitby 1990 - 2001

My First Grade career lasted over a decade and covered two clubs – Randwick-Petersham and Western Suburbs.

I have great memories and long-term friendships from both clubs, and regularly catch up with ex-team mates, with many an old story told and reminisced.

Here's my best grade team of players I played with, in batting order:

1. Anthony McQuire (Western Suburbs) - An attacking opening bat that played the cross bat shots as good as anyone. I played at the U-19s National’s for NSW with “Jerry” and he received Player of the Carnival, a year when a 17-year old Ricky Ponting also played.

A few stories… nameless… client confidentiality.

Cricketer gets in touch… we last spoke a year ago. He is struggling….

Lacks that feel-good confidence.

We talk.

Once…

and there is a shift…

but not enough yet.

We talk again…

Bang 75…

Bang 115.

She says quietly coach I need to talk to you about that doubt stuff you mentioned…

We have a right arm fast bowler in our team who never bowls around the wicket to left handers. It’s something he’s never done or being coached to think about.

We’d like to ask what are some of the reasons or benefits we could offer to at least try?
