In January 2007 Cricket NSW Honorary Research Librarian Colin Clowes launched his book, “150 Years of NSW First Class Cricket. A Chronology.”

As part of the book launch Colin Clowes also selected his NSW team of the 150 years.

NSW made their first-class debut against Victoria at the MCG in 1856 and they won by 3 wickets and up until their 150th year have gone on to win the Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup on 44 occasions. The most successful first-class cricket team in Australia.

The quality of the team is undoubted as is the quality of the players who missed selection.

Shane Watson is Redlands Tigers player no 573, Australian Test Player no 391 and Australia's 44 Test Captain

In November 2020 one of the highest profile Redlands Tigers players of all time announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. Before we had Marnus to cheer for on the international stage, we had Watto. And before him you had to look a long way back to find our last Test player.

Shane came to the club (then known as Easts-Redlands) as a fresh faced teenager in the 1997/98 season from Ipswich and immediately made an impression with his hard hitting yet technically correct batting and ability to bowl at good pace.

BOOK REVIEW: "Jack Fingleton - The Man Who Stood Up To Bradman" by Greg Crowden (Allen & Unwin 2008)
Another cricket title you'll probably have to chase down in your local library (yes, they still exist).
One of the great writers on the game himself, Fingleton is plaid a great compliment by Growden, in writing a superb study of a complex man.
None were ever prouder to wear the Baggy Green and none stood up to both Bodyline and Bradman - both of them juggernaut - more effectively.
Fingleton was a fine writer from humble beginnings, who not only took the bruises handed out by Larwood and Co but refused to bow to Bradman in what was his longest and most bitter battle. Through it all, he retained his sense of both humour and justice but with great balance which still accorded his foes credit where deserved. Growden explains Fingleton's role in the resettlement of Larwood and his family when he emigrated to Australia with the warmth it deserves.
A fabulous read which is a fitting accolade for a fine man.
I gave it 5 stars.

Gary was a likeable rogue, a bit of a larrikin in every sense of the typically Aussie word. He played rugby league as a youngster, where he was a strong running centre with St Mary’s in the Metropolitan Cup but injury turned him to cricket, where he had come through the junior and senior ranks of the Penrith RSL Club.

He first played for Nepean in 1974/75. He figured in the First Grade Premiership wins of 1978/79 and 1982/83. Team-mates called him ‘The Kid’, which was an affectionate acknowledgement of the probability that he had some boxing skills and enough headstrong bravado that, if he’d been invited into the ring at Sharman’s boxing tent at the Royal Easter Show in years long gone, he’d probably have leapt at it.

The school holidays are nearly here. Book your place at my upcoming cricket coaching clinics.

Learn new skills. Improve your gameplay. Hang out with other cricket players.
The off season is a great time for cricket players to work on their game technique, correct errors and build on strengths without the pressure of competition.

During the upcoming July school holidays, I will be running off season cricket coaching clinics at Killara Park and North Sydney (scroll down for dates).

These coaching clinics provide young players with the expert guidance required to develop their skills, technique and game awareness, in a friendly and inclusive environment.

Myself and my expert coaches will help players hone their skills, leading to improved muscle memory, by repeating correct movements over and over, so they become automatic.

Clinics are tailored to the experience levels of each player and are open to boys and girls aged 6 - 17 years. Come for just one day, a few days or attend every clinic - the choice is yours.

If you've got any questions, don't hesitate to contact me directly on 0401 382 409 or geoff@cricketcoachingclinics.com.au.

I hope to see you there,
Geoff Spotswood
Level 3 Coach (Cricket Australia)
