In the crowded clubrooms Stuart Hintz started proceedings off with a cricket ball which was gifted to his father and a ‘red card’ to be shown to anyone who was taking too long or drifted into embargoed topics. Stu said the cricket ball to be a symbol of connected many of the people in the room and he was pass the ball on to the next speakers.

My Best Grade Team 1980s and 90s - Tim Sullivan

It is a privilege to have this chance to pick the best team of players with whom I played in Sydney grade cricket for Penrith and Bankstown. It is a Mug’s Luck that I had the fortune to play with so many first-class and Test cricketers, and just to show how challenging grade cricket was in the 1980s and 1990s, I am going to exclude them from selection. That means leaving out John Benaud, Trevor Bayliss, Rod Bower, ME and SR and DP Waugh, SB Smith, Bobby Vidler, Dave Freedman, Scott Prestwidge, Len Pascoe, ‘Jack’ Small, Scott Thompson, Peter Clough, Jason Arnberger, and the wizard behind the stumps, Terry Davies. Except…I am picking Wayne Holdsworth just for the thrill of seeing him charging in again!

My selections attribute each player with the club where we played together.

Joseph Cameron ‘Joe’ Wilson – The Man Who Bowled W.G. Grace

Joe Wilson was a gifted cricketer who excelled for the Parramatta District Cricket Club, in the first decade and a half of NSW Premier Cricket (initially known as Electorate and later Grade cricket).

The strongly built Wilson was an attractive left-handed stroke-maker and fine left-arm medium paced swing bowler, who enjoyed a praiseworthy career with the Parramatta club.

A local Commercial Bank Accountant, Joe Wilson went on to captain Parramatta (Central Cumberland) in the Sydney 1st Grade competition, represent New South Wales in Inter-Colonial cricket in 1891/92

Craig Bayldon was another in the long line of gifted cricketers to have represented the Parramatta District Cricket Club with considerable distinction at 1st Grade level. Predominantly a bowling all-rounder, he’s a member of an exclusive group of just eleven bowlers to have captured ‘300’ wickets in 1st grade for the club.

A dynamic style of cricketer by nature, for most of his time at Parramatta he was a strong, attacking right-armed new ball bowler blessed with a sharp turn of speed, mixed with a dose of hostility and competitive nature. Batting left-handed Craig liked to give the ball a decent thump and when in the groove could be very destructive and he particularly enjoyed assaulting slow bowlers.

Penrith Cricket Club Second Team of the Decade - 1983-1993

Trevor Bayliss has the right credentials to be a selector. His First-class career is acknowledged, and, after cricket, he became a much-sought-after coach. He rose through the coaching ranks in NSW, from Under-19s to Colts, to 2nd XI, all winners. NSW lifted the Pura Cup (Sheffield Shield) and the One-day Cup. He coached Sri Lanka to five Test Series wins and to a World Cup Final.

Here are his selection notes: “My team is mostly one with experience from the early part of the decade, but one that reflects the Club’s direction later in the decade.
