My top 6 performances from opposition players in Sydney grade Cricket – Neil Evans
As a 1st grade top order player for North Sydney from 1987 to 1994, here's the 6 stand-out performances from opposition players that still stick in my mind...
Michael Bevan (Campbelltown)
His first game in Sydney for Campbelltown in 1990/9. We won the game, but he made 70 with his eyes shut. If we hadn't run him out with a direct hit, he would have made 370.
Dean Waugh (Bankstown)
Early season game at Bankstown in 1988/89 Dean made 99 and nothing missed the middle of the bat. It was so majestic that in a team with many good players that made runs that day, his innings was easily the best.
Glenn McGrath (Sutherland)
You know it, off the fence under bad light with a southerly buster at his back he was ruthless and quick. In 1991/92 season he took a bag of 7 wickets. For a moment I thought I was on top reaching 30 until the middle pole was sent cartwheeling
Graeme Smith (St George)
We had them struggling at Hurstville in 1990/91 until Smithy peeled off a delightful tonne batting 6
Ron Davis (Fairfield)
I had some great battles with Ronny, and it was probably all square at the end but one early season clash at home he bowled the most delightful spell of aggressive fast medium seam stuff. He only ended up with 2 or 3 wickets, but he deserved 7 for that day
Paul Pritchard (Waverley
We had them 2 down for nothing until PP carved out a wonderful 170. Shots to every point in the ground but we did drop him on 11.
