I had blocked out an over; the keeper quipped, ‘Come on boys, more dots than a dot painting’.
While I am not Indigenous, imagine if I was and that comment had been said? Just a bit of banter, right? Just brush it off, right?
In many ways, Australian Cricket is a mirror to Australian society; the first ever tour of England by an Indigenous Team saw the team worked like slaves, ignored on their return and white-washed out of the history until the 21st century. The tough Colonials taking it to the English, the brave and bold Bradman facing Bodyline, the brash sides of the 1960’s and 1970’s. The 1980’s saw a dark time and a questioning of identity, of a rapidly changing world that saw economic and societal changes that made the world smaller and yet somehow more foreign to the traditional, it was when cricket started to be considered a career and a commodity. The domination of the mid to late 1990’s and early 2000’s when our Prime Minister wanted us to be ‘comfortable and relaxed’, and most of us were, on and off the field.

Terrific to see Brett Elliott at 54 years of age scoring 81 for Mosman 3rd Grade in their Round 3 one day game against Eastern Suburbs.
Chasing Eastern Suburbs 9 for 313 off 50 overs, Herb showed his class and kept Mosman in the game before they were bowled out for 253.
Herb won multiple first grade premierships with Bankstown in the 1990s and I’m sure he’s passing on some valuable lessons to his younger teammates.
Well done Herb.

On Tuesday 7th November 2023, former Parramatta District Cricket Club 1st grade player and Life Member John Aitken passed away.
The old phrase ‘cricket is life’, was most apt when applied to ‘JA’, he conducted a life-long love affair with the game. The remarkable duration of his personal playing career would undoubtedly place him amongst Australia’s longest-ever continuous players. Up to the close of the 2012/13 season he was still captaining and playing in the Auburn Shire Club’s 4th grade team. Still maintaining his enthusiasm after an astonishing seven decades playing the grand old game.
John was physically a diminutive, slight man whose cricket could be best summed up as ‘gritty and determined.’ Not blessed with the natural ability of his younger sibling Bobby, he practiced assiduously and utilised sheer hard work to extract ‘every ounce’ of skill he owned to forge his marathon career.

A hobbled Glenn Maxwell scored Australia's first ever men's ODI double century to pull off one of cricket's all-time greatest comebacks
Glenn Maxwell defied intense pain to play one of the greatest innings in history and pull off the mother of all heists in a World Cup epic against Afghanistan in Mumbai.
A cramping Maxwell (201no from 128 balls) could hardly walk, let alone run, through the back half of a 202-run partnership with captain Pat Cummins – the biggest for the eighth wicket in ODI history – as the Aussies rose from the dead to seal a semi-final berth.

Randwick Petersham won its 5th 1st Grade Twenty20 premiership at Coogee Oval when it defeated a brave Gordon side in the Grand Final of the Kingsgrove Sports Twenty20 Cup, 4-155 (18.4 overs) to 8-152 (20 overs). And while the match was played in cloudy and gloomy conditions after parts of Sydney had been deluged by up to 75mm of rain overnight, the game produced all the excitement and tension that a T20 Grand Final can do.

And while the match was played in cloudy and gloomy conditions after parts of Sydney had been deluged by up to 75mm of rain overnight, the game produced all the excitement and tension that a T20 Grand Final can do.
Batting first after winning the toss, it was high drama when Daniel Sams clean bowled the Stags skipper, Tym Crawford, with the very first ball. But it was almost 10 overs later before the hosts could claim a second wicket when Jason Ralston bowled Axel Cahlin (38 off 27 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes) for a 2-66 scoreline. Trystan Kennedy (28 off 33) went 7 runs later although a 56 runs partnership which followed, put Gordon’s nose in front.

Week 7 – ‘The Opening Spell’
Rain, rain go away! A wet weather affected weekend of McDonald’s NSW Premier Cricket couldn’t stop the bowlers from showing up.
First ball – Big Bash meets little bash!
Colloquially referred to as the ‘little bash’, NSW Premier Cricket’s Kingsgrove Sports T20 Cup came to a spectacular conclusion at Coogee Oval over the weekend. Randwick Petersham chased Gordon’s total of 8/152 with eight balls to spare, thanks to a crisp display of hitting from Sydney Thunder’s Daniel Sams (42 from 30) and Alex Ross (43 from 33), as well as Brisbane Heat’s Jack Wood (25 from 19). The Randy Pete's trio plundered six 4s and seven 6s between them, to secure the trophy for a record fifth time.

All-rounder Moises Henriques will play his 100th Sheffield Shield match when he leads the NSW Men’s Team against Western Australia at the SCG in the fixture that begins on Monday.
Selectors have named a 13-player Blues squad that includes three additions to the 11 that went down to Victoria at the MCG in their last Shield match. One player will drop out of the squad later today.
Fast bowler Liam Hatcher, all-rounder Hayden Kerr and powerful batter Ollie Davies come in for Ben Dwarshuis and Jack Edwards. Chris Green was 12th man for the Melbourne fixture and is again in the squad for this clash. Edwards was not considered for selection as he manages minor niggles.

UTS North Sydney Cricket Club - September, October 2023 - Month 1 wrap
First Grade opened with a new-look T20 competition that brought a few new faces to the North Sydney First Grade squad, with 3 debuts. Everett Oxenham, Addison Sherriff and Hugh Sherriff became players 690, 691 and 692, respectively, for the club. Everett and Addison's debuts were also their first games in First Grade.
In a strange quirk to the new format, our first match, against last year's finalists, Sydney Uni, was played at Bensons Lane in Hawkesbury. After winning the toss and batting first, we only managed to post 7-119 off our 20 overs, with contributions from JA (Justin Avendano), Mac Jenkins and Maresy (Dylan Mares)to help us to the total. With a modest total on the board, we would need to be inch-perfect with the ball and almost were, with Sydney Uni passing our total 8 down with just 3 balls to spare. Debutant Everett was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-26 off his 4. Fellow spinner Mac was also miserly, taking 2-23 off his 4.
