Alan Cripps was born at Lakemba on 11 August 1930. At age 14, the right-hander joined Randwick in the 1944-45 season, playing in the club’s A W Green Shield team. He represented NSW Schoolboys in the Interstate series with success the next season. The following year he was the outstanding batsman in the Green Shield side and was selected to make his Grade debut in the 3rd Grade team. That was the beginning of one of Sydney’s greatest Grade Cricket careers, as Alan would go on to play for another 40 seasons.
