Did you know that before T20's inception in 2003, New Zealand Cricket invented a new format of the game back in 1996 called 'Cricket Max'.

It was the brainchild of Martin Crowe who claimed "I Invented and designed Cricket Max because I felt it was time to provide to our spectators and TV viewers a game of cricket that was short in duration, very colourful, kept some old traditions and highlighted the best skills in the game."

Rules of the format;

The format of the game involved two teams playing two innings of ten-overs each. It was played on traditional grounds but with one subtle difference. Both sides of the ground had a special ‘Super-Max’ carved out covering the region between long-off and long-on. Basically, every shot that the batter would hit in the Max-zone, they were rewarded with double-returns. If they hit a four in the Max zone, it was considered as ‘eight’ or if they had stroked a six, it was considered as ‘twelve’.

Jake Short is a former leg spin bowler who plied his trade at multiple cricket clubs including Belmont District Cricket Club. Jake was a fantastic teammate who always had time for others.

Can you remember your first game of cricket?

I remember my first game of club cricket. I think my first actual game was for my school but in my first club game I was asked to open because I'm a left handed bat, I scored 49 and was on 49 for quite some time ha-ha, got nervous and got out. I think I took three wickets; I was a leg spinner when no one else other than the great man Shane Warne was so no one knew what to do, I was the boy who saw Warne bowl Gatting and said I want to do that to my dad.

John Pearson played just two seasons, 13 years apart, with Petersham-Marrickville, yet he was one of the most influential members of the club in the 1980s and through to its merger with Randwick in 2001.

Born on 15 October 1947 at Leichhardt and educated at Ibrox Park Boys High (now Leichhardt High), John Charles Pearson played his early Grade Cricket with Balmain. Prior to the 1968-69 season, John’s brother-in-law, Jeff McQueen, had an offer to join Petersham-Marrickville and the young opening bat, who had played a handful of 2nd Grade matches with Balmain, decided to go with him. Starting in 3rd Grade, Pearson impressed with top-score of 78 in only his second game. It was a match against Northern District which ended in a rare tie with both sides scoring 254. However, after five matches and a tally of 161 runs and nine wickets, selectors ushered him into 2nds where he completed the season.
