Week 3 – ‘The Opening Spell’

Both the men's and women's NSW premier cricket competitions are now underway! That means more weekly highlights, milestones and wonderful imagery from the best grade cricket competition in the world.

First ball – Picking up where you left off!

Women’s NSW Premier Cricket First-Grade Player of the Year last season, Grace Dignam, has commenced the 2023-24 season in damaging fashion scoring 84 runs (71 balls) to propel her Northern District side to a season opening victory over Bankstown. Similarly, Sydney Cricket Club’s Eva Ragg top-scored (56) in her first, first-grade outing of the season to help set a match-winning total against the St George-Sutherland. Ragg’s spectacular start to the new season marks her first premier-cricket appearance at Drummoyne Oval since notching a grand-final century to claim the 2022-23 second-grade premiership for Sydney.

Behind every great team and player there should always be other players knocking on the door, scoring the runs, and taking the wickets to be ready and capable to come into to the team and maintain the standards and continuity of a winning team.

The Australia’s first-class cricket scene “The Sheffield Shield” had so many other players.

From a batting perspective.

Stuart Law – 27,080 runs at an average of 50.52 with 79 hundreds

Jamie Siddons – 11,587 runs at an average of 44.91 with 35 hundreds

Jamie Cox – 18,614 runs at an average of 42.69 with 51 hundreds

Brad Hodge – 17,084 at an average of 48.81 with 51 hundreds.

Martin Love – 16,952 at an average 49.85 with 45 hundreds.

All up, they scored 91, 317 first-class runs and a total of 261 hundreds.

Incredibly, of the 5, only 3 played a total 12 test matches for Australia. Brad Hodge (pictured after scoring a double hundred against South Africa) played 6 tests and averaged 55 in Test cricket. Martin Love played 5 tests and averaged 46.60 whilst Stuart Law only played one test and was 54 not out in his only innings.

David Warner has played 109 test matches and has said that he’d like to finish his test career after the 3rd test against Pakistan at the SCG in early January 2024.

It will mean sometime before now and then the Australian selectors are going to have to find a replacement opening batter.

Is it a little cheeky to say Australia future batting stocks resemble ‘old Mother Hubbard’ cupboard.’

Dwayne Field is a multiple premiership winning player with 3 flags at Flinders Cricket Club and 2 at Heatherhill CC.

A tremendous ambassador for the club on and off the field Dwayne is a very proud Life Member of Flinders Cricket club.

Who are the two players you admired most in terms of skills and competitive spirit in the competitions you played?

Shane Beggs (Flinders) – most competitive I’ve played with or against. Hardest trainer I’ve seen (still now at 50). It’s no fluke why he has been one of the all-time MPCA greats!!

Matt Gale (Flinders) – for a guy to come back and play at this standard and just give his all every game shows great character. Makes his teammates better by just backing them in. Love his aggressive attitude on the field!!

Clint Munday epitomises the Australian spirit of getting back up and having a go.

He’s played all his cricket at Flinders Cricket Club. He’s played, he’s been an administrator and he’s an inspiration to many.

I became Flinders CC president in 2015/16 season and spent five seasons in that position, before I moved away from the area and it became too much of an effort to get to the club. From 1991 to 2020 I spent 27 years as either player or on the committee holding different positions. Also spent nine seasons on the MPCA board and coaching numerous junior representative sides and manager of the second Country Week side for six seasons.

On Saturday 17 September 2022 St George District Cricket Club celebrated their “Centenary of First Grade”

During the day St George First Grade hosted a NSW XI at Hurstville Oval.

Batting first NSW scored 238 and after losing two early wickets St George seemed to be cruising to victory with Blake Nikitaras scoring a century and Moises Henriques finishing with 91 not out.

However a big batting collapse saw the game go to the wire with St George scoring the winning runs at the death 9 wickets down.

During the lunch break the club unveiled a section of the boundary pickets where plaques commemorate all 467 first grade representatives in the clubs 100 years of 1st Grade.

Former Australian Test cricketer Murray Bennett and former St George District Cricket Club President proudly displays his First Grade Player No 247

Randwick Petersham v Campbelltown-Camden First Grade - Round 2 NSW Premier Cricket 2023-24

The World Cup may be where the big cricket is, but for pure cricket excitement, Coogee Oval was the place to be on Saturday. It was a 50 overs-per-side clash between Randwick Petersham and Campbelltown-Camden. And it ended in a spectacular win to Randwick Petersham in a match showcasing the magic talent of Daniel Sams.

An Australian T20 cricketer and a world-traveller in T20 league matches these days, Dan made a rare 1st Grade competition appearance leaving in awe those who witnessed his performance. With his team seemingly on the ropes at 6-115 chasing 248 runs to win, the dashing right-hander finished the day with 130 not out hitting 12 fours and 6 sixes off just 89 balls in a final tally of 8-253 off 45.3 overs. His 50 came up in 45 balls and his 100 in 72.

Western Suburbs and UNSW 3rd Grade played the 2nd round of the NSW Premier Cricket season at Blick Oval on Saturday 7 October 2023.

UNSW were sent into bat and were off to a brisk start with their captain Gavin Ho scoring 22 off 18 balls before he was judged LBW in the fourth over off Dean Jones with the score 1 for 27.

UNSW lost 4 further wickets to be 5 for 54 when a terrific 119 run partnership between Arunav Duggal and Abishek Mohanaraj put the pressure back on Western Suburbs.

Both Arunav and Abishek played very well with Arunav being more aggressive and Abishek playing a supporting role before accelerating towards the back end of his innings.
