Hello, I’m 19 and want to play grade cricket in Brisbane next season.
I’m a top order bat and would like to ask about players mindsets when they go out to bat. Do you have a plan to get to 10 or 20 and what’s your process in building an innings. Thanks.

Penrith Cricket Club 4th Grade Premiers 1984/85

Back Row – Brett Howarth, Steve Richardson, Tony Dukes, John Saint, Darren Morris

Front Row – Chris Harper, Paul Thompson, Jon Llewelyn, Stuart Hogan, Mark Freeman, Andrew Williams

The Final was against Northern District, who had upset the Minor Premiers Wests in the other Semi-final. We therefore went in as No.1 team, handy in case of rain. The venue was Mosman’s ground, Rawson Oval. Jon Llewelyn remembers the Final as a real ‘heart stopper’. Penrith won the toss and fielded because there was some dew on an otherwise perfect batting pitch. It was a good call, for a while. “At 6/71 we could have been forgiven for feeling a bit cocky,” said Jon, who had most of the wickets. But, the tail wagged and they finished with 210. Bowling: Llewelyn 4/58, Mark Butler 2/36 and John Saint 2/66. Penrith at stumps were one run, none out. The hunt for the Cup resumed on Sunday morning, Jason Penrose and Tony Dukes at the crease, and, they were travelling smoothly until Tony nicked one; 1/34. Soon it was 2/49 and when Penrose, “poised and confident”, went for a well compiled 50, caught behind, we were 3/82

WEST Indies batting legend Brian Lara said the region will continue to fall behind in world cricket if better facilities and technology are not provided for the players.

Lara, who is in India doing commentary for the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 tournament, was speaking virtually on day two of the Caricom Cricket Conference at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port of Spain on Friday.

West Indies were a powerhouse in the 1970s, 1980s and in the first half of the 1990s.

“The lack of good facilities and academies with the right technology to grow the game kept us aside,” Lara said.

“We felt that our cricketers were naturally good and the way we learnt the game was still the best way. No, it was not and if we still believe that today we are in serious trouble

I drove through Toowoomba last week. And “Toowoomba”, as you know, is an old indigenous expression meaning, “The Place of Painful Memories”.

All right, I made that up. The meaning of the word “Toowoomba” isn’t entirely clear, and it’s the subject of heated debate between people who care about such things, but I’ve got my version, and I’m sticking to it.

It was 1979. I was in a bunch of schoolboys from Sydney on a tour of Queensland, and we were playing a game at Toowoomba. We bowled first, and we felt we were on top – we had the home side seven down for not much more than a hundred. But then, in came the Queensland Schoolboys opening bowler, a strapping farm boy called Ron Buchholz.

In 2009 James McPherson was the Captain of Marist College Ashgrove First XI cricket team, a school with a rich cricket history..

During the season the team went through the competition undefeated and the team included a year 10 student by the name of Lachlan Thompson who went on to become the school’s First XI captain in 2011.

Incredibly, 9 years after playing together in the Schools First XI, James and Lachlan were opposing Captains in the Queensland Premier Cricket Grand Final when Northern Suburbs played Sandgate Redcliffe in March 2018.

James was the skipper for Northern Suburbs and Lachlan for Sandgate Redcliffe.

Prior to the Grand Final in 2017/18 Lachlan had already led Sandgate Redcliffe to victory in both the T20 and Limited Overs Grand Finals in the same season.

To the Grand Final, Lachlan won the toss and elected to bat. Sandgate Redcliffe were bowled out for 232 with Lachlan scoring 28 and Lloyd Aspin rescued the team with a fine 118.

Northern Suburbs replied with 347. Tom Healy scored 124 and skipper James McPherson 18.

In Sandgate Redcliffe 2nd innings Michael Simmers hit 103 and Lachlan Thompson 55.

Northern Suburbs after leading on the first innings only needed to bat out the final day and did so to be 3 for 121 with James McPherson at the crease, 1 not out, and Northern Suburbs became the Queensland Premier Cricket Premiers for season 2017/18.

The rich history of Marist College Ashgrove continues.
