In early 2006, The Committee of Western Suburbs invited a group of former players and administrators to advise the Cricket Committee of the greatest players to represent the Club in the period from 1895 to 2000. Alan Davidson, Stan Sismey, Tom Brown and Bernie O'Neil sorted through the Club's records and player performances and produced their list of the Club's finest players.

The Committee then applied the criterion that each player, to be eligible for the "Team of the Millennium". must have been available to play for Western Suburbs for five full seasons. The Committee took into account lavers' performances not only for Western Suburbs, but also at higher levels of the game.

Did you know that before T20's inception in 2003, New Zealand Cricket invented a new format of the game back in 1996 called 'Cricket Max'.

It was the brainchild of Martin Crowe who claimed "I Invented and designed Cricket Max because I felt it was time to provide to our spectators and TV viewers a game of cricket that was short in duration, very colourful, kept some old traditions and highlighted the best skills in the game."

Rules of the format;

The format of the game involved two teams playing two innings of ten-overs each. It was played on traditional grounds but with one subtle difference. Both sides of the ground had a special ‘Super-Max’ carved out covering the region between long-off and long-on. Basically, every shot that the batter would hit in the Max-zone, they were rewarded with double-returns. If they hit a four in the Max zone, it was considered as ‘eight’ or if they had stroked a six, it was considered as ‘twelve’.

Jake Short is a former leg spin bowler who plied his trade at multiple cricket clubs including Belmont District Cricket Club. Jake was a fantastic teammate who always had time for others.

Can you remember your first game of cricket?

I remember my first game of club cricket. I think my first actual game was for my school but in my first club game I was asked to open because I'm a left handed bat, I scored 49 and was on 49 for quite some time ha-ha, got nervous and got out. I think I took three wickets; I was a leg spinner when no one else other than the great man Shane Warne was so no one knew what to do, I was the boy who saw Warne bowl Gatting and said I want to do that to my dad.
