Greg Edwards made his first grade debut for Western Suburbs on 31 March 1984 against the old Sydney Cricket Club to become the clubs first grade player number 502.

A very talented and stylish batsman Greg had made the move to Wests from Gordon were he’d already played first grade. A measure of Greg’s ability was the quality of the players in Wests first grade team, Dirk Wellham, Greg Matthews, Greg Dyer, David Gilbert, Brad McNamara, Peter O’Reilly, Murray Radcliffe, Peter McLay, Andrew Jones, Tony Dwyer all Australian, NSW or NSW 2nd XI players.

The Rosebud Cricket Club are very excited to announce that AJ King will be joining our club as Assistant Coach.

Coming from Sorrento where he had an outstanding career highlighted by being a member of the Sorrento Team of the 25 years from 1990 to 2015 and also 2010-2020 Team of the Decade.

A former Country Week member of both the MPCA 1sts and 2nds sides AJ has been a prominent Provincial bowler within the MPCA for many years.

AJ coached Tootgarook for two seasons before injuries unfortunately took their toll and his dodgy knees finally packed it in.

AJ will work closely with newly appointed Coach Geoffrey Glaum and we can’t wait to see what these two can bring to our club.

We also welcome Carlie, Harrison and new born Hamish to Shark Park.

Two great Coaching appointments along with some really good recruits makes for an exciting 24/25 season.

John Pearson played just two seasons, 13 years apart, with Petersham-Marrickville, yet he was one of the most influential members of the club in the 1980s and through to its merger with Randwick in 2001.

Born on 15 October 1947 at Leichhardt and educated at Ibrox Park Boys High (now Leichhardt High), John Charles Pearson played his early Grade Cricket with Balmain. Prior to the 1968-69 season, John’s brother-in-law, Jeff McQueen, had an offer to join Petersham-Marrickville and the young opening bat, who had played a handful of 2nd Grade matches with Balmain, decided to go with him. Starting in 3rd Grade, Pearson impressed with top-score of 78 in only his second game. It was a match against Northern District which ended in a rare tie with both sides scoring 254. However, after five matches and a tally of 161 runs and nine wickets, selectors ushered him into 2nds where he completed the season.

It was an anxious wait for the 14 year old outside the family home in Kingsford as the Randwick official drove up to collect him for his first Sydney Grade Cricket match. With two rounds to go of the 1982-83 season, young Michael Chee Quee had been invited to join Randwick’s 5th Grade side. The official was club stalwart, Phil Tresidder, who handed Michael a borrowed pair of spiked cricket boots and the pair were off to Snape Park. Although he made only a handful of runs that day, it prompted skipper Gordon Owen to comment in his annual report that “in 14 year old right-hand batsman Michael Chee Quee, who played the last couple of games, I see a star of the future”. Prophetic words as that was the beginning of the much celebrated Chee Quee family association with Randwick Cricket and later Randwick Petersham, which continues to the present day.

Just over a year ago, I published the piece below on the ongoing importance of dynamic movement for peak batting performance.

My purpose was to provide a counterpoint to a disturbing trend over recent years towards batting coaches focusing on stillness and stability at the expense of dynamic movement.

My concern, in particular, was for young batters between the ages of 8-16. It’s vitally important that youngsters learn full-body, fluid, dynamic movement when batting. There is plenty of time to stabilise and refine later. But if you miss the opportunity, for example, to become a dynamic ‘skip-stepper’ and ‘spring-backer’ against spin bowling during that period, it is very, very difficult to acquire the skill as an adult.

February 16th, 1992 was the date and Manly Oval was the scene, for the World Cup warm up match between the touring Sri Lankans and an elite Manly President's XI. After many months of negotiations between our Club, the Australian Cricket Board and the Sri Lankan Cricket Board, the all clear was given only three weeks before the scheduled match date. Sri Lankan born businessman, Dilip Kumar from Peninsula Holden instigated initial talks with the Sri Lankan Board and the Club thanks him for his assistance in staging the match. Dilip's company, Peninsula Holden, was also the match day sponsor, with contributions also from The Communications Depot, Air Lanka and A Taste of India.
