My Best Grade team - Aaron Maynard 1999 to 2009

I made my first grade debut for the Sunshine Coast in 1999 as a 16 year-old and had 6 great years at the Scorchers before making the move back to my home state of Victoria where I had 2 season at Geelong then a move to Melbourne where I finished my last 2 Premier cricket seasons at Camberwell.

I played with and against some great cricketers and with 3 great clubs in their own unique ways (with many great bus trips) and have got memories I’ll cherish for a lifetime. So picking a best side wasn’t easy.

1. Troy Dixon (Captain) Sunshine Coast

A great leader of men. You walked ten foot taller knowing you were going into battle with Dicko. No doubt opposition bowlers feared having to run in to bowl to him.

In early 1899 the Waverley District Cricket Club played its most important game since its entry into the Sydney grade competition in 1894/95.

The match, against the strong Paddington club, took place on 4 February and 11th February at Waverley Oval. Both clubs boasted test players including Victor Trumper, Monty Noble and Jim “Stumper” Kelly for Paddington and Syd Gregory, Frank Iredale and Sep Carter for the home side. There were also several current first class players in both teams. It was expected to be a match of the highest calibre.

The winner of this match was tipped to go on to win the premiership. Waverley had twice been runner up in the competition and expectations were high this would be the club’s breakthrough season.

Vale Tony Corcoran

I first met Tony when I arrived in Dubbo as a first year out secondary teacher at Dubbo South High in 1974

South High also had a team in the Whitney Cup which was made up of Lloyd Keir and myself and the rest being school kids such as Wayne Munro, Mark Ferguson, Steve Wheeler and the Allan twins.

Tony was one of those classy left-handers who played the good ball on its merits and dispatched the bad ball to the boundary. He was always immaculately dressed, and his cricket was reflective of this.

He moved to Glen Innes where he was well known in the Stock and Station industry and later became Head of Elders - at some stage Tony also played for University in the Brisbane grade competition.

Captain Morgan takes 6 wickets in 6 balls to win the game for Mudgeeraba Nerang against Surfers Paradise

What happened next is one of the great wonders of cricket. Has it ever been done before as Morgan dismissed Gardner on the first ball of the over and proceeded to take another 5 wickets with his 5 remaining balls. Surfers Paradise were bowled on for 174 off the last ball of Morgan’s over and Mudgeeraba Nerang won by 4 funs.

Gareth Morgan took 6 wickets in on over to finish the game with figures of 6 overs 7 for 16.

You gotta love cricket.

Randwick Petersham completed a comprehensive first innings victory over 1st Grade competition leaders Northern District at Asquith Oval today. The scores were Randwick Petersham 122 and 8-207 declared to 69 and 8-229.

Most of the action occurred last week with NDs 9-65 at stumps in reply to Randwick Petersham’s 122. Today, it took Angus McTaggart, who celebrated his 21st birthday two days ago, just 4 balls to complete the Northern District innings for 69, finishing with the magic figures of 7-35 from 9.4 overs. That performance equalled the club’s best-ever 1st Grade bowling figures set by Englishman Jonathan Lewis against Mosman in 2003-04 – 20 years ago. Lewis played Test and ODI cricket for England shortly after
