Colin Miller first-class career spanned 16 seasons from 1985/86 to 2001/02 playing 3 states Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. He became Australian Test Cricket Player Number 379 and went on to play 18 Tests in the Baggy Green.

He made his First-Class debut at the age of 21 but had to wait until he was 34 to play his First Test

Colin “Funky” Miller had an amazing cricketing journey. He travelled the world to play the game he loves and had the unique ability to adapt or switch from bowling medium pace swing bowling to bowling off-spin successfully at the highest level.

As the son and grandson of Wallabies, Phil Mooney was destined to be a rugby player. That he was also an accomplished first grade batsman with Western Suburbs was testament to his prodigious sporting talent and he fortunately played in an era where he was able to juggle both sports without having to choose one over the other.

A skilled and intelligent fly half or fullback with Wests in the Brisbane Premier competition, many judges believe that Phil would have played Super Rugby in the modern era but with Australian rugby only having 2 provinces and players of the calibre of Michael Lynagh, Brian Smith, Greg Martin & Rod Latham standing in his way, he never played for Queensland at senior level.

Brett Lack - Fairfield Liverpool Good Blokes and Lunatics XI

A decade since the ACT Comets last played as a standalone entity in the Toyota National Second XI competition, their return for the 2023/2024 season brought about a great sense of excitement amongst the local Canberra cricket community.

The Comets return made for a development stepping stone for local players to compete at a national level, an opportunity that motivated many local players who had been toiling away in the ACT competition without reward.

FROM CLEFT TO A THING OF BEAUTY!

Here at B3, we are recognised for having our industry's most advanced, consistent bat-making process. Walking out to bat with a cricket bat that suits you in every aspect and a bat you trust will fill you with confidence at the crease. Combining the two will result in one thing ….. MORE RUNS!

Every cricket bat we make from the very first to the last out of the factory has its unique serial number. That serial number is the DNA of that bat and provides all the information we need to make the exact same bat again. That repeatable consistency, quality and performance are the key reasons our customers, from club players to some of the top professional players in the world, love their B3.

We love to welcome cricketers to our Nottinghamshire factory so they can see first-hand how we combine advanced tech and old traditional craftsmanship to produce our beautiful bats.

The History of Cricket for the 60s, 70s, and 80s year old players

Let's be clear from the outset: we are not discussing cricket players from the 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s. We’re talking about people today who are still playing cricket in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s. That's right, more than a thousand cricketers, or perhaps even closer to two thousand, are still playing cricket on a weekly basis throughout Australia and England, plus a smaller number in New Zealand and other parts of the world. In our home state of Victoria, we currently have some 700 over-60 cricketers playing in our own Cricket Association on a regular basis, every Wednesday and Sunday during the cricket season. Included in this number are 200 Over 70s players.

The period from the 1950s to the 1970s was a heyday of Sydney grade cricket.

Occasionally there were summers with no international cricket at all, so the domestic game was played with great intensity. One-day cricket and Sunday play did not start until the 1967-68 season, so there was less call on the top players. The sports lift-outs of the three Sunday papers gave grade cricket extensive coverage. The two afternoon daily newspapers, The Sun and the Daily Mirror, also covered grade cricket extensively. Articles on grade cricket were read widely, and the sporting public was interested in what Test and state players were doing in domestic cricket.

Robert 'Bob' Thomas Life Member nomination by Jim Cattlin

Attended Orange High School and displayed his talent by being chosen in Combined HS cricket and rugby league teams. In playing at St Joseph’s college he was chosen for Schoolboys Team to tour West Indies in December 1969 where he scored 540 runs in 10 innings including 1 century and took 11 wickets.

When he came to Sydney in 1969 he joined his mates playing for Sutherland CC and scored 604 runs over 2 seasons and took 24 wickets, including 5/41. His highest score was 77, which just happened to be against Gordon at Chatswood, when he took to Guy and Todd. He probably thought Gordon needed help and on such a small ground a switch the next season was a good move. He also played Rugby League for Cronulla as an amateur. Not only was he gifted in those sports but also squash and Rugby Union.

He made his debut in the Test against England at Calcutta, 5–8 Jan 1934, and played his last Test against England at Madras, 6–10 Feb 1952, at the age of 38. - Cricket Cosmos
