Q: Andrew Reddich - my debut for Queensland Over 50's Cricket team
Back Row – Lachlan Donavan, John Francis, Kent Officer, Brian Brix, Michael Dan, Alan Bougoure
Front Row – Michael Frame, Andrew Reddich, Paul Stenhouse (Captain), Geoff Doyle (Vice Captain), Wayne Miles, Mark Brady
At the 2017 National Championships in Sydney I made my debut for Queensland Over 50s cricket team. QLD Cap number 43.
It was quite an emotionally powerful day for to represent Queensland and also play on the hallowed field of Old Kings at Parramatta where the original Aboriginal Cricket team trained in preparation for their the very first Ashes series. So much history at Old Kings with many legends playing for Cumberland Cricket Club now Parramatta including Doug Walters.
We won on the day, but couldn’t retain the trophy for the National Championships. In the big picture, it didn’t matter, cricket was the winner

Q: The Magic of Cricket - Andrew Reddich
I was born in 1968 and my first game of cricket was in primary school 1976/77. I practiced so hard at home and I was ready to go.
I was handed the little red cork ball that friday afternoon when I was asked to bowl and I rubbed the ball all over my white stubbie shorts, which gave me the red stain of honour, just like on the legends on the ABC. As I looked at the mat covered concrete pitch in front of me, it meant this was the real thing, I was ready for business.
Unfortunately I bowled everywhere except on the mat, ten minutes of wides later, I thought, why is this so hard?
Later that year my team went on to walk around the Gabba, when the Aussies were playing West Indies. I’ll never forget the incredible aww of this experience, including a tour of the indoor nets, alongside the Sam Trimble cricket shop.
