Alex Murphy made his first grade debut for Parramatta District Cricket Club during the 1999/2000 NSW Premier Cricket season.

Alex is Parramatta First grade player number 523.

Who are the two players you admired most in terms of skills and competitive spirit in the competitions you played?

Daniel Jackson enormous heart and a willingness to play injured. Was still playing 1st grade for Parramatta in his mid 40’s and causing plenty of trouble for opposing batsmen.

Nick Bertus - has been a big part of turning Parramatta District Cricket Club into a competitive force. One of the best batsmen in the competition for at least the last 6 years and has won many games off his own bat. Gives back to the game by looking after the Parramatta Junior Development program with Luke Dempsey another long-term Parramatta First Grader.

THE V Precision Challenge No.3 Top hand drill.
The introduction of zone markers to THE V net has created target zones for precision training.

We have designed a series of targeted 9 shot drills

By focusing on specific shot selections and target zones batters will develop a comprehensive skill set.

The unique V net design generates a repeating absorb deflect return action during use. This allows for continuous shot play and quality repetitions fast tracking key batting skills including rhythm, timing and strike power.

Repetition is the key when it comes to learning. THE V creates a unique immersive training environment that is inherently linked to cognitive motor learning.

A Legspinners Diary - NSW Over 55s Kangaroos - Division Two Champions

A magnificent week of cricket & camaraderie at the National O55s Championships, Christchurch NZ, Nov 23-27, 2023. The tournament included 16 teams in two Divisions, with NSW and Qld each sending 3 teams, Victoria, WA, SA and New Zealand two teams each, and one team from each of ACT and Tasmania. Each Division was divided into two Pools of four teams for the initial round-robin format, with the top teams in each pool to play off for the chocolates. I was a member of the triumphant NSW Kangaroos, who came through Pool B undefeated and claimed the Division 2 title by trouncing the highly fancied NSW Waratahs in the final. Yes, yes, I know we were all a squad and “your triumph is my triumph” etc, but we all knew we were in 3rds and they (the 2s) were expecting to put us in our place, so it was pretty sweet!

Hard work pays off!

I have been working with Callum Henderson over the past four years and it has been fantastic to see his hard work come to fruition with 32 competition wickets and 22 ‘2-day’ wickets in the QLD Premier Grade Competition this year. Whilst the statistics are always good indicators of performance, it is the speed, intent, and consistency of his bowling that is the most pleasing factor.

This video gives you a snippet into his journey both on and off the field. Callum has worked tirelessly at nailing the basics, following a periodised strength, speed, and conditioning program to get his body to a stage where he is able to withstand the forces going through his body at >130kph over a day’s play.

With a high training age, proficient movement patterns and hitting high numbers in some key lifts, this has allowed us to increase the specificity of his strength, power and running program to challenge his body. This has also enabled Callum to keep pushing his ceiling when it comes to what his body is capable of and the speeds that he can release the ball.

Over the past couple of years, we have been regularly experimenting with triphasic macrocycles. The triphasic principles of training aim to raise the athlete’s rate of force development which is key when working with a fast bowler. The nature of a bowling action also means that the faster and more efficiently the athlete can absorb and produce force, the faster and more effective the release can be. Whilst this has also added variety to the training program for Callum, the intent of the lifts and focus on bar speed have had an anecdotal correlation to his intent when approaching the crease.

Over the past four years, there have been clear focusses to Callum’s training with the following outcome goals in mind:

1) Increasing swing leg retraction
2) Limiting BF contact time
3) Reducing the amortisation of the front knee during FFC
4) Increasing velocity throughout the latter stages of the run up
5) Limiting GCT during the latter stages of the run up
6) Increasing bowling arm speed (Heavy and light weighted ball bowling)
7) “Attacking” the crease.
8) Creating clear pre-ball and post-ball processes

The above does not happen overnight and cannot happen without a baseline of strength, proficient movement mechanics, soft tissue resilience and joint stability.
