Harry Austin is Ipswich first grade player number 55 and he scored his maiden first grade century for Ipswich against Sandgate Redcliffe on 16 January 2022.

Chasing Sandgate Redcliffe first innings total of 302, Harry hit 10 fours and 3 sixes on his way to 100 not out to lead Ipswich to victory by 2 wickets.

Can we ask, what would it mean to you to play first class cricket and for your country?

It would be great to play at a higher level but if it never happens, I'm happy with that too. I play cricket to enjoy it and hopefully make some great memories along the way. If I can sit back at end of my playing days and say that I gave myself the best opportunity to be the best player I could be than I’ll be happy.

Harry Walker follows a long line of outstanding University wicket keeping batters. Lew Cooper, Wade Seccombe and Chris Hartley all played first class cricket for Queensland.

Harry has come through the Queensland under age teams and represented Queensland Under 19s at the National Championships in 2019/20.

Who are the two players you’ve come to admire most in your club in terms of skills and competitive spirit?

Angus Lovell seems to keep getting better each year and is someone who I love watching bat, starting with back-to-back centuries in the one day comp. Max Clayton's skills are second to none however, his work ethic and commitment at training is something I admire.

Lindwall and Miller

50 Tests in tandem: 340 wickets

They complemented each other beautifully: Keith Miller – charismatic, eccentric, explosive – and the less obtrusive Ray Lindwall with the classic action of a thoroughbred.

The Aussies terrorised batsmen for a decade and were both part of Sir Don Bradman’s 1948
‘Invincibles’ team, although Miller fell out with his captain when he allowed himself to be bowled first ball as his colleagues plundered 721 in a day v Essex.

Lindwall was the quiet all-round champion sportsman who retired to run a florist’s shop while Miller’s flamboyant and chaotic style was epitomised by his comments when discovering once that there were 12 fielders. “One of you ‘eff off,” he suggested, “and the rest? Scatter…”

Chasing 203, Yorkshire were down in the dumps with the score at the end of 46 overs reading 9/123. A further 80 runs were required to win from the remaining 54 balls (it was a 55 over match). Nobody had scored more than Boycott's 31 in Yorkshire's innings when no. 11 Mark Johnson joined their wicketkeeper for the last wicket.

The following overs saw 9 sixes being hit, all from the bat of that diminutive wicketkeeper batsman who took particular liking for the slow left arm spin of David Steele and hit him 26 in an over.

Not only did he manage to eke out a 1 wicket win for Yorkshire with a 80 run partnership where Johnson's contribution was a mere 4 runs, he also ended with an unbeaten hundred against his name. In a result that not many had seen coming an hour ago, the match was over with 8 balls to spare.

10 runs to get, 6 balls to do it. I’m on strike as the rain whips into my face, through the metal grill of my helmet making it slightly difficult to see the ball. Its dark, wet, and 13 players and 2 umpires tough it out for one more over. But for me, I’ve had one of the greatest moments on the cricket field already. I opened the batting with my old man. We walked out together with the task set in front of us, ready to take on the world. While we enjoyed a solid 50-run partnership, I also had the extra privilege of seeing him get out before me. The result of the game didn’t matter to me because I was the happiest a cricketer ever could be. No century or five wicket haul could ever compete with the feeling of playing cricket with the person who introduced you to the game twenty odd years ago.

As a young cricketer, I grew up under the coaching of my dad who threw the ball to me while I tried to play my best Ricky Ponting hook shot, or my sharpest Michael Clarke cover drive
