Andrew Hamilton played junior cricket in Brisbane and got to play against a couple of future Queensland cricketing legends in Jimmy Maher and Martin Love.

His desire to be involved in the game at a higher level led him to become an umpire and since 2004 he's been umpiring in the NSW Premier Cricket competition.

I love to see people do things a little differently and have fun doing so.

Evan Bancroft is a well-respected member of the Queensland sporting community, and Banger and his good mate former Australian fast bowler Jeff Thomson, combine to help Jo attract new buyers to 14 Eversden Street, Kenmore.

Cricket and property are two of Australia's greatest passions.

Well done, Banger and Thommo, and best of luck with the sale.

Crown Jewels 1982-83

Happy 10th Anniversary! If it had been a wedding celebration it would have demanded tin, but the Club’s celebratory Decade in Grade brought home the silverware, the Crown Jewels of the NSWCA, the Sydney Smith Cup for winning the Club Championship and the Belvedere Cup for winning the First Grade Premiership, capping off the Club’s finest season in its short history.

There was more good news: Second Grade Semi-finalists, Third Grade Semi-finalists and Fourth Grade a win away from a Semi-final berth. Firsts won Team of the Year in The Sydney Morning Herald cricket awards. And, there were near misses: Graeme Beard and Ken Hall tied for third in the Herald’s Player of the Year; the Green Shield’s five wins and 30 points, one win from the Final, was the Club’s best result in this Competition

The Cricket Physio Thihan Chandramohan joined me on the latest episode of the Physio Foundations Podcast.

Thihan is a highly experienced Sports Physiotherapist who has held roles with the Melbourne Renegades, Bangladesh Cricket, Hampshire Cricket, and most recently as the Rehabilitation Manager for the Sri Lankan Cricket Team. Thihan is also one of the hosts of the Physio Social Club Podcast.

In this episode, we took a tangent from cricket and discussed Thihan’s recent leg injury and his experiences with injury, surgery and rehabilitation.

Thihan offered very interesting insights into the experience of having a serious injury and surgery in a developing country, reflections on the real experience of lengthy rehabilitation, and advise for students and new graduate physios for prioritising their assessment and management.

Thanks Thihan for a great conversation.

In this episode:

3:05 Thihan’s injury – fractured tibia and fibula. There was no pain until after the surgery – reflecting on when pain is not associated with pathology
5:30 The experience of having surgery in a developing country
12:23 ‘Letting go’, controlling what you can control and allowing people to do their job
14:40 Fracture healing, pain management, IV paracetamol, risks of compartment syndrome, experience of having an epidural
25:45 Being present and taking things one step at a time. It’s hard to think about the bigger picture as a patient. Meet the person where they are
31:40 Being proactive in your own rehabilitation. Lessons for practitioners
36:35 How can students keep things simple and be effective? Have a system and a structure to your assessment that you can repeat until you learn the patterns. Know why you are asking questions.
47:30 How do you stay motivated during long-term rehab?
53:40 Maintaining a positive mindset during the rehab journey
55:30 Empathy – 'get in the hole' with the patient / person

Thoughts on Vets cricket: O/40's cricket has made it possible to reconnect with past team mates and rivals. It's been so much fun to play at a decent competitive level. Then to have the opportunity to represent your Province & Country at this stage is awesome. Hopefully some international stars will be up for the challenge once Vets cricket continues to grow and attracts more interest.
