Ryan O’Connor is a celebrated player in the Mornington Peninsula and South Bayside competitions

He’s played first grade with the three clubs he’s played at. He won the Robert Thompson Medal (Sub district medal) in 2014-15 for Ballam Park and the W.B. Wedgwood medal (Provincial medal) in 2010/11 for Sorrento.

Who played the best innings you’ve seen firsthand playing with or against?

Had to be either Nick Jewell at Crib Point or Anthony Blackwell in his early days at Sorrento. There were too many hundreds to count. They both smoke the ball through cover and as soon as you get short you were gone.

SCG 100th Test - SCG Museum 2012. Doug Walters Test Cap from Australia v WI, February 1969, when he became the first to make a double and single century in the same Test (242 and 103x).

It was my first attendance at a Test match, aged 12. I scored the double in tally marks in the back of my previous year’s maths exercise book. Wished I still had it!

In front of the cap is the coming of age poem I wrote about the event.

Craig Phillipson burst onto the first class cricket scene in Australia with a century on debut and played 29 first class games and 57 one day games for Queensland.

He won the Peter Burge medal for the best player in the Queensland Premier Cricket in 2009/09. Craig was a wonderful shot maker with one of the best “leaves” in the game and was dismissive of attacks at his best. A quality gripper, underrated medium pacer and with a sharp cricketing mind, he was as good as it got at Grade level.

What was your highest score in senior cricket?

I made 240 not out in a 2nd X1 game for QLD off about 200 balls. Chased down 400 plus in the 4th innings vs Victoria at AB field.

RECORD: 188*runs in 2011-12 by David Dawson (200*) / Chris Tremain (81*) for University of NSW 9-361 declared against Western Suburbs 229 at Village Green in round 4, 5 November 2011.

University of NSW skipper and wicket-keeper, David Dawson, won the toss and batted on the team’s home ground. With opener James McNeil out for a duck, Dawson was in to bat in the second over. And while he was playing well, his team-mates were struggling against a persistent attack. Wickets were falling regularly although a late order rally of 58 saw the score elevated from 8-115 to 9-173. Nevertheless, the end appeared nigh. Enter fast bowler Chris Tremain, not a “rabbit” by any means, but at no. 11 he was not expected to bother the scorers to any great extent. But something which had not been experienced in the 118 years of Sydney 1st Grade Cricket was about to unfold.

The pair batted for 142 minutes scoring a breathtaking, unconquered 188 for the 10th wicket. While Dawson continued to advance his score, he was far from shielding Tremain from the strike. In fact, the fast bowler faced 135 balls in making 81* which included 11 fours and two huge sixes. And while their partnership was a major milestone, so was the double century which Dawson brought up after facing 237 balls over almost five and a half hours (323 minutes). His 32 boundaries constituted 128 runs of his neat 200* final tally. A declaration was made at 9-361.

Tim Robinson: I was first picked for England because the selectors thought Chris Broad - who had made his debut against West Indies in 1984 - couldn't really play spin. Being the sort of person he was, Broady tried to prove them wrong, tried to dominate against spin, but kept getting out. I was scoring plenty of runs for Notts, so they took me to India instead.

“Legend” is a term too easily bestowed on sports people but I don’t think too many would argue with Gavin Brown being described as a Legend of Brisbane Club Cricket having scored over 16,700 runs for Valleys. He may not have been the best batsman going around but he could well be the most aggressive with his stroke play a combination of Kim Hughes, Collis King & Freddy Kreuger.

Some of his feats are well...legendary. In the era before turbo-charged bats he once hit 112 in a second grade game with 106 in boundaries and scored 120 in a first grade one-day game where fellow opener Dean Reeves was on 5 when Browny brought up his hundred. Unfamiliar with the terms “circumspect” or “playing yourself in” he was also sometimes accused of not thinking about the game sufficiently, such as the occasion in a 6-a-side match in Singapore when he danced down the wicket to Sylvester Clarke’s first ball and hit him for six over cover seemingly oblivious to the fact that neither he nor any of his teammates had packed helmets for the trip.
