One of the great joys of my life is spending time with an old mentor and great friend Warren Saunders.

Warren is a former NSW Shield Cricketer and patron and legend of the St George Cricket Club in Sydney. He’s also a great storyteller.

I could sit with Warren for hours and just listen. It’s fun and invariably his yarns turn to an Australian cricketing legend and someone to this day, he remains in awe of, Keith Miller.

Rising stars Tahlia Wilson and Jack Edwards are Cricket NSW’s domestic players of the year after being awarded the Belinda Clark and Steve Waugh Medals at the 22nd Annual CNSW Awards night at the SCG.

In a glittering ceremony in front of their playing peers, support staff and other dignitaries, Wilson and Edwards were popular winners of the state’s top domestic cricket gongs - a nod to their brilliant seasons for the NSW Breakers and Blues.

I was talking to a mate who’s also a level 3 cricket coach, and he shared a batting tip I hadn’t thought of or heard before.

“People talk about the importance of a batter’s weight and hands moving through towards where they want to hit the ball when driving, and they’re correct. Another way to look at it is to keep it really simple and ask the batter to focus on making sure the toe of the bat is heading towards where you want to hit the ball.”

I like it.

Andrew West was a premiership winning wicket keeping batter with Somerville Cricket Club.

Andrew played the majority of his junior and senior cricket in the Mornington Peninsula Cricket Association.

What were your strengths as a player?

In my late teens, early 20s, I worked really hard on my keeping and hardly batted at training, and as a captain, thought I gave all my teams a good chance to win the game. Best place to captain was from behind the stumps.

On 4th October 1987, Penrith Cricket Club hosted Western Suburbs in a one day game where it’s believed there was a crowd of 2,000 in attendance.

It was a day where both clubs international and state players were playing. Penrith team included NSW representatives Rod Bower and Trevor Bayliss and Western Suburbs team included Australian internationals Dirk Wellham, David Gilbert, Greg Matthews and NSW representatives Brad McNamara, Scott Hookey and Chris Killen.

The publicity and promotion before the game generated the enthusiasm to see one of the biggest crowds ever at Howell Oval

Stockton & Northern Districts Cricket Club are deeply saddened by the passing of Life Member Robert Allen.

Robbie was a not only a long time player and committee member but a lifelong supporter of the club.

Robbie held the role of treasurer during arguably one of the clubs most successful periods in the 1970s and 1980s.

We pass on our deepest condolences to Robbie's wife Kris and the family and friends.
