It turns out that it isn’t just in juniors where this phenomenon occurs and in the Central Lancashire League Ezra Moseley was that fast bowler. It was with great sadness when in February 2021 I heard Ezra had been knocked off his bike and killed, struck by an unlicenced 17 year old driver (in Barbados you must be at least 18 to obtain a licence).

Corey Rocchiccioli is pushing to be Australia's next Test spinner having been the leading spin-bowler in Sheffield Shield cricket the past two seasons. It's not been a straight forward journey to become Western Australia's first-choice spinner though.

At 18, 'Roc' was playing 4th grade and after changing grade clubs, he was the 7th choice spinner at University CC. But through "being naive", a sheer love of cricket, curiosity and, an incredible work ethic, Rocchiccioli has been instrumental in Western Australia's back to back to back Sheffield Shield victories and is well and truly on the radar of the Aussie selectors.

I've been fortunate to have some amazing guests on The Cricket Mentoring Podcast. Corey Rocchiccioli isn't the biggest name we've had but this was the longest and most in depth and insightful chat we've ever had.

This podcast, broken into 2 episodes, is full of value and so many practical tips anyone can implement into their sport or life.

It's an inspiring story and one that has so much to still come. I hope you enjoy listening to/watching it as much as I did.

I am counting down what I believe are the five greatest Douglas Cup Finals. This match is the fifth on the list.

No.5 – 1930/31 – Northbourne v Ainslie – The match which went on forever!

The 1930/31 Final was held between Northbourne and Ainslie and started at Manuka Oval. Northbourne were the Minor Premiers by one point from Queanbeyan and Ainslie finished third after the home and away series. This Final was the first to be held at Manuka Oval, previous finals had been held Northbourne Oval and the Acton Sports Ground.

Waratah Mayfield Cricket Club 2nd Grade win the Royce McCormack Cup 2020-21

Back Row - Liam Wilson, Lachlan Taylor, Jacob Hill, Irfan Ali, Olivier Koehn

Front Row – Rob Hill, Josh Brackenbury (Captain), Jono Twomey (Man of the Match), Alex Taylor, Blake Morley, Toby Chillingworth


Waratah Mayfield Cricket Club 2nd Grade win the Royce McCormack Cup 2020-21

Waratah Mayfield Cricket Club first piece of silverware for the 2020-21 was won by the clubs 2nd grade team going undefeated in the one-day competition.

After finishing on top through the pool rounds, the boys earnt a home Grand Final hosting Charlestown at Waratah Oval.

Charlestown won the toss and had a bat. We didn't have to wait long for the first action, with Irfan Ali picking up wickets in consecutive balls to have them 2/0 in the third over. Robert Hill then picked up the 3rd wicket, bowling a tight opening spell to put the pressure on.

Jono Twomey (4/10 off came on first change and was near unplayable, with his spell having Charlestown reeling at 7/37 halfway through their innings. Charlestown had a bit of a fightback for the 8th wicket with Winpenny (29) pushing the total up, with Jacob Hill (2/19) cleaning up the tail after a strong spell to have them all out for 80.

Olivier Koehn (40*) and Toby Chillingworth got us off to a fantastic start in the chase, and skipper Josh Brackenbury (36* off 28) got it finished quickly. A 9 wicket win with 19 overs to spare sums up a dominant performance from the Tahs.

Charles B Barstow – South Brisbane First Grade Player Number 87

Charles B Barstow came from the Etons Juniors in 1905, and in his two first seasons with the club took 164 wickets. His 86 wickets in 1906/07 is still the greatest number taken by any bowler for the club in one season. Charles played for Souths from 1905-1911 when he transferred to Toombul under the Electorate residential rules.

Barstow was unlucky, in that he mainly played for Queensland before it entered the Sheffield Shield and was considered too old to play for Australia. On his day, he was reputed as being unplayable in club cricket.

In 1909/10 he took 10/34 against Oxley and also had Toombul at 8/1 at one stage against Toombul. He won 16 grade premierships with various clubs. His first class record was 78 wickets at 28.2.

Barstow died in 1935 at only 52 years of age.

Australian v Pakistan Over 50s Cricket World cup Final. Wednesday 5 December 2018 at Drummoyne Oval

As hoped, this was a classic final between the world's best over-50s cricketing nations. Both sides had cruised through the round robin stages unbeaten and their scheduled Round 5 clash had been cancelled due to bad weather, so there was no history between them. Australia had relied heavily on their top 6 - particularly their top 3, including captain Peter Solway, who was averaging over 100 before today - and a fit pace attack. Pakistan also had strength at the top of the order, plus a number of canny spinners.
