In the modern world of professional cricket, it is highly unlikely that the Australian Test captain would take a team from his Premier Cricket Club on a weekend trip of social cricket.

Bob McMillan played second and third grade, as an opening bowler, for Parramatta (Cumberland) and first grade Rugby Union for Parramatta, but later in life he moved to the country and became a ‘Bush Poet’ – a great fan of Henry Lawson.

Nick Bertus ‘A knack for Winning - Parramatta District Cricket Club

Apart from his personal talent as a cricketer, it’s his ‘knack for winning’ that distinguishes Nick Bertus from all other prominent captains of the Parramatta District Cricket Club teams.

His winning association with Parramatta commenced in 2007/08 when he was a member of the premiership winning A.W. Green Shield team (captained by Sean Abbott). Nick’s own captaincy success started when he guided Parramatta’s Poidevin-Gray Shield team to the 2012/13 title.

In the winter of 2020, the Bears held a poll to determine the Team of the 2010s, resulting in a powerful XII which would strike fear into the heart of any opposition line-up.

It is a powerful team with a strong batting line-up and six versatile frontline bowling options.

The right/left hand opening pairing of Tom Jagot and Daniel Hughes would be a nightmare for opposition attacks.

Druhv Kant – The Gloveman

The talented wicketkeeper / batsman joined Parramatta from the Blacktown Club at the start of the 2020/21 season.

He was immediately selected in First grade and his presence enabled skipper Nick Bertus to handover the keeper’s role and focus on his batting and captaincy duties.

Druhv is nimble and sharp behind the stumps, and with the bat, the right-hander possesses a fighting temperament, fine array of strokes and his industrious approach to batting ‘ticks the scoreboard over at a positive rate.’

Randwick Petersham has a proud record of cricket representation at the international level. Players such as Simon Katich, Usman Khawaja, David Warner, Nathan Hauritz and Daniel Sams have played Test, ODI and Twenty 20 cricket for Australia against other cricket-playing nations across the world.

Alan Cramond was a towering figure, both physically and in accomplishment, in the story of the Parramatta (Cumberland) District Cricket club lower grade teams. Like ‘Old Man River’ Big AL just kept rolling along underpinning the club’s lower grades in a career that stretched between 1946/47 and 1968/69, and he also played a role off the field as a long time Management Committee member and club selector. On the 20th May 2022 he turned 100 years of age.

During his time with Parramatta Alan played plenty of 2nd grade, but it was in the 3rd grade arena that he left a legacy both as a captain and player.

Penrith headquarters is named after Bill Howell (Howell Oval).

Born at Penrith on the 29th of December 1869 and died at Castlereagh 14th July 1940. Bill, as a youth was a wicket keeper for Warwick in Sydney Club Cricket. Note that talent, because Howell's career development is a classic illustration how first impressions can be misleading. It was his left-hand batting in the 1894/95 Country week Carnival in Sydney that gained him selection in the NSW team to play AE Stoddart's visiting English team that season....yet, in that game at the SCG he revealed his greatest talent, right arm medium fast off cut bowling

Favourite cricket memory in your career so far:

Playing in the state challenge in Dubbo was a great opportunity and memory.

Playing in the semi finals for Penrith Cricket Club 5th grade this season alongside my Dad and my mates.

I am still kicking myself we missed out on playing in the grand final by 22 runs.
