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.

Neuro Batting- Enhancing Batting Performance Under Pressure: The Neuroscience Behind Effective Cricket Training

The Brain on the Cricket Field: Training vs. Game Conditions

Understanding how the brain operates under different conditions can revolutionise how we train athletes, especially batters in cricket.

The Rosebud Cricket Club are very excited to announce that AJ King will be joining our club as Assistant Coach.

Coming from Sorrento where he had an outstanding career highlighted by being a member of the Sorrento Team of the 25 years from 1990 to 2015 and also 2010-2020 Team of the Decade.

A former Country Week member of both the MPCA 1sts and 2nds sides AJ has been a prominent Provincial bowler within the MPCA for many years.

AJ coached Tootgarook for two seasons before injuries unfortunately took their toll and his dodgy knees finally packed it in.

AJ will work closely with newly appointed Coach Geoffrey Glaum and we can’t wait to see what these two can bring to our club.

We also welcome Carlie, Harrison and new born Hamish to Shark Park.

Two great Coaching appointments along with some really good recruits makes for an exciting 24/25 season.

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.

Randwick Petersham Cricket Club

It was an anxious wait for the 14 year old outside the family home in Kingsford as the Randwick official drove up to collect him for his first Sydney Grade Cricket match. With two rounds to go of the 1982-83 season, young Michael Chee Quee had been invited to join Randwick’s 5th Grade side. The official was club stalwart, Phil Tresidder, who handed Michael a borrowed pair of spiked cricket boots and the pair were off to Snape Park. Although he made only a handful of runs that day, it prompted skipper Gordon Owen to comment in his annual report that “in 14 year old right-hand batsman Michael Chee Quee, who played the last couple of games, I see a star of the future”. Prophetic words as that was the beginning of the much celebrated Chee Quee family association with Randwick Cricket and later Randwick Petersham, which continues to the present day.
