This fortnight Howzat Building Waratahs in History Q&A saw us speak with the newest Life Member of the club Tim Cruickshank (LM #53), a club member and player for 19 seasons. Tim played for the club from 1997/98 to 2016/17.

Tim is the only MWDCC player in the 145-year history to score over 10,000 runs (10,502) for the club, He amassed this total from 354 innings with a career average of 32.92. He has 14 club 100+ innings and 67 club 50+ scores as well. To put this in perspective we only have 3 players in the club history to score over 8000 runs.

Tim captained our 1st grade to their first premiership in 27 years in 2014/15.

Tim was most recently seen at the ex-player event at Manly Oval where he spent some time with his old mates enjoying the current 1st grade team having a victory.

I remember a pre-season training session at Western Suburbs when I first came to Sydney and Australian cricketing great and club legend Alan Davidson spoke to the playing group about the benefits of hard work and training with purpose.

Mr. Davidson strongly emphasized the 6 Ps in cricket. Perfect Practice Prevent Piss Poor Performance.

All these years later I now know the 6Ps don’t just relate to cricket.

It’s human to want to know your role and not just in a cricket team. It’s in business, the workplace, and our personal lives. We all like to know where we fit in and the role we play.

The role of a captain in cricket is not just about what happens on the field or game day. It’s also important to know your players, what makes them tick and how you can help them feel better and more confident about the role you want them to play in the team.

A player who knows their role will tend to perform better than a player who is unsure and second-guessing their position.

Michael Back is UNSW Cricket Club first grade player number 67 having made his first grade debut during the 1985-86 season.

A wicket keeper batter with high energy levels Michael was affectionately known as “Stan” and today Michael is an oncologist (cancer specialist) who manages people affected by brain cancer. We dip our lid Michael.

Can you recall a catch or stumping that still fills you with pride and puts a smile on your face?

Rod Bower had a long history of dominating us with big off-drives. Jungle theorised that he was weaker off his pads so we decided to bowl continuously outside leg stump to the point of annoyance. Eventually after yet another one from seamer Tony Pratt moved two feet outside leg stump he immediately exploded on both bowler and umpire so took the opportunity to throw down the wickets…out stumped. The shouts on the field were only outweighed by the subsequent noise coming from the dressing room.

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.
