This is the first known picture of cricketers for the Souths Electorate (later to be known as the South Brisbane District Cricket Club) Team taken in November 1897. Most are un-named in the picture.

Captain W T Fischer picture on the reversed chair in the middle with the hat is our first Captain. B Papi is in the front row at the far right of picture seated (with bow tie). A H Jones is seated in the front row, 3rd from the right.

Long-time player Justins (back row, third from the right in whites) also features in the 1905 Souths Electorate Cricket photo. S Donahoo, Suit, 4th from left at rear, scored what is probably the first Grade century.

Western Suburbs District Cricket Club Sydney

Cricket is acknowledged as the game that continues to produce statistics in greater numbers and variations than virtually any other sport. Yet, the excitement and enthusiasm for those ‘moments in history’ continues unabated.

It was more than one of those ‘moments’ on Saturday 2 November 2019 at Pratten Park, Ashfield as Western Suburbs second grade went out to bat against Sydney. Spectators were to watch ninety overs of near chanceless batting as opener Isaac Taylor and first drop batsman, Jason Hughes, put on 291 runs for the second wicket.

The partnership is the highest second-wicket effort in any grade in the history of Wests. Very impressive, considering the Club started way back in 1895.

The ‘291’ removed one of Bob Simpson’s entries in the Magpies’ record books. Simmo and Grahame Windley posted an unbeaten 226 partnership, in first grade against Waverley, for the second wicket in 1967-68.

Hello, I’m 19 and want to play grade cricket in Brisbane next season.
I’m a top order bat and would like to ask about players mindsets when they go out to bat. Do you have a plan to get to 10 or 20 and what’s your process in building an innings. Thanks.

Penrith Cricket Club 4th Grade Premiers 1984/85

Back Row – Brett Howarth, Steve Richardson, Tony Dukes, John Saint, Darren Morris

Front Row – Chris Harper, Paul Thompson, Jon Llewelyn, Stuart Hogan, Mark Freeman, Andrew Williams

The Final was against Northern District, who had upset the Minor Premiers Wests in the other Semi-final. We therefore went in as No.1 team, handy in case of rain. The venue was Mosman’s ground, Rawson Oval. Jon Llewelyn remembers the Final as a real ‘heart stopper’. Penrith won the toss and fielded because there was some dew on an otherwise perfect batting pitch. It was a good call, for a while. “At 6/71 we could have been forgiven for feeling a bit cocky,” said Jon, who had most of the wickets. But, the tail wagged and they finished with 210. Bowling: Llewelyn 4/58, Mark Butler 2/36 and John Saint 2/66. Penrith at stumps were one run, none out. The hunt for the Cup resumed on Sunday morning, Jason Penrose and Tony Dukes at the crease, and, they were travelling smoothly until Tony nicked one; 1/34. Soon it was 2/49 and when Penrose, “poised and confident”, went for a well compiled 50, caught behind, we were 3/82

WEST Indies batting legend Brian Lara said the region will continue to fall behind in world cricket if better facilities and technology are not provided for the players.

Lara, who is in India doing commentary for the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 tournament, was speaking virtually on day two of the Caricom Cricket Conference at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port of Spain on Friday.

West Indies were a powerhouse in the 1970s, 1980s and in the first half of the 1990s.

“The lack of good facilities and academies with the right technology to grow the game kept us aside,” Lara said.

“We felt that our cricketers were naturally good and the way we learnt the game was still the best way. No, it was not and if we still believe that today we are in serious trouble
