Nathan Price started his cricket journey in Newcastle and made his first grade debut for Wallsend when he was only 16. After a number of years Nathan made his way to the big smoke and joined the seasiders at Coogee Oval, the famous Randwick Petersham Cricket Club where he became first grade player number 67.

In his time at Randwick Petersham from 2009 to 2019 Nathan scored 5,263 runs at an average of 37.06 including 9 centuries and 27 half centuries

He was selected in the NSW Futures League teams and has been a very proud member of the NSW and National Indigenous squads for many years.

He’s back home in Newcastle and making a tremendous contribution to where it all began at Wallsend Cricket Club

I’d like to get some advice about the wicket keeping crouch position.

I see keepers today with wide stances especially up the stumps and wonder how awkward they look and the pressure they have on their thighs to stay low and come up with the ball.

Growing up keepers generally had their feet shoulder width apart and looked more comfortable with their gloves coming up with the ball. Ian Healy for example.

With such a wide stance also does it affect the bigger edges off the spinners hitting their legs as opposed to travelling through to first slip?

Should we be advising young keepers to keep their feet shoulder width apart or is the wide stance ok?

I remember a pre-season training session at Western Suburbs when I first came to Sydney and Australian cricketing great and club legend Alan Davidson spoke to the playing group about the benefits of hard work and training with purpose.

Mr. Davidson strongly emphasized the 6 Ps in cricket. Perfect Practice Prevent Piss Poor Performance.

All these years later I now know the 6Ps don’t just relate to cricket.

It’s human to want to know your role and not just in a cricket team. It’s in business, the workplace, and our personal lives. We all like to know where we fit in and the role we play.

The role of a captain in cricket is not just about what happens on the field or game day. It’s also important to know your players, what makes them tick and how you can help them feel better and more confident about the role you want them to play in the team.

A player who knows their role will tend to perform better than a player who is unsure and second-guessing their position.

Michael Back is UNSW Cricket Club first grade player number 67 having made his first grade debut during the 1985-86 season.

A wicket keeper batter with high energy levels Michael was affectionately known as “Stan” and today Michael is an oncologist (cancer specialist) who manages people affected by brain cancer. We dip our lid Michael.

Can you recall a catch or stumping that still fills you with pride and puts a smile on your face?

Rod Bower had a long history of dominating us with big off-drives. Jungle theorised that he was weaker off his pads so we decided to bowl continuously outside leg stump to the point of annoyance. Eventually after yet another one from seamer Tony Pratt moved two feet outside leg stump he immediately exploded on both bowler and umpire so took the opportunity to throw down the wickets…out stumped. The shouts on the field were only outweighed by the subsequent noise coming from the dressing room.
