Western Suburbs can lay claim to 33 Test Internationals passing through the gates of Pratten Park and playing for the Magpies…

20 of these International Players represented Australia while active as a Western Suburbs Player and, remarkably, two Angus Fraser and Monty Panesar were selected for England while in the Wests ranks.

Mitchell STARC, who debuted in Wests First Grade in 2007, continues to spearhead the Australian attack.

However, it all started in March of 1877, in the First Test match in Melbourne, when Tom GARRETT debuted at age 18 years and 232 days…which still makes him the youngest representative to play for Australia against England. Tom was educated at Newington College while the School was still at ‘Newington House’, in the Sydney suburb of Silverwater.

One year ago today one of the greatest cricket matches seen at the MCG - India v Pakistan - over 90,000 people mostly from the respective diaspora of each country. The noise was electrifying. A great day for diversity & inclusion in Melbourne and Australia. Stay tuned for Dec 2024 when India returns to play Australia.

At the completion of the 2024-25 Premier Cricket season around Australia which premier cricket club across the states playing first class cricket will be able to claim to be the best first grade premiership winning cricket club in the first 25 seasons of this century.

A quick review around the states since the 2000-01 season and there’s been 138 premier premierships won by 59 premier cricket clubs across NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, and Queensland.

The premier premierships are for the two- or four-day grand finals and don’t include one day premierships.

There are 88 premier cricket clubs around Australia, so it means 29 clubs have not won a first-grade premier premiership since 2000-01 or longer.

Bruce Whitehouse has made an immense contribution to cricket on and off the field as a player, administrator and umpire.

Bruce was awarded Life Membership of George River Cricket Club in 1993/94, he’s a former President of the club and has been inducted as a Blue Bag legend

Who played the best innings you’ve seen firsthand playing with or against?

I saw a fantastic dig umpiring by Josh Clarke playing for Wests against Sutherland in 2019/20 where he scored a chanceless 176.

In 4th grade last year in the semi final Sydney Univeristy managed 4 for 315 and declared. Day 2 saw Sutherland 6 for 31 before lunch needing to hang on for a draw to go through to the final. Skipper James Hawksworth batted out the day remaining unbeaten on 110 with Sutherland ending on 9 for 231 and booking a spot in the final. An amazing dig!!

Paul Maraziotis was one of the finest batters in NSW Premier Cricket to sadly not be selected to play for class cricket for his state. There are 11,660 First Grade runs, 23 hundreds, 61 half centuries reasons over 21 seasons at an average of 37.49 to suggest he must’ve been very close.

Mazza played 366 innings for Penrith, Bankstown, Blacktown and Sydney and is well placed in the top 10 NSW Premier Cricket Run Scorers of all time. At the time of publication, he sits at No.8.

Born September 1974. Mazza made his first grade debut for Penrith at the age of 18. He played for NSW Under 19’s the following year and lined up against future stars like Ricky Ponting, Michael Divenuto, Andrew Symonds, Brad Hodge, Martin Love just to name a few.

Sometimes you hear snippets of information and think that’s gold, there’s a tale to be told.

The names Lillee and Marsh are synonymous with Australian cricket. Two Australian cricketing legends welded together as a combination as batsman were “Caught Marsh Bowled Lillee”.

But where did it all start, and here’s the great cricket trivia question.

Who was the first batsman in first-class cricket to be “Caught Marsh Bowled Lillee?”

It happened on 2 November 1969 in a Sheffield Shield game at The Gabba between Western Australia and Queensland.
