Q: My best grade team - Andrew Sincock 1966 to 1995
My grade cricket career in Adelaide started in 1966/67 and spanned 28 season to 1994/95.
I played what's now known as Premier Cricket for Kensington, Teachers College, Adelaide, East Torrens, West Torrens and Adelaide University
Over many years I had the good fortune of playing with and against some great players and it was a fun exercise and a challenge to select my best grade team
Here it is, in batting order. Itβs an amazing team full of talent.
1. Barry Richards - Prospect.
Played a Grand Final with a broken hand and still played the cover drive of a champion
2. Sir Gordon Greenidge - Adelaide
Made Seven Hundreds in a row
3. Ian Chappell β Glenelg
Loved playing for his home club and committed to it
4. Greg Chappell β Glenelg
Elegant as always at the crease.
5. David Hookes - West Torrens and East Torrens
Only won one Premier flag and cherished it with pride.
6. Gary Sobers β Prospect
The crowds turned out to see the great man often described as 5 Cricketers in one.
7. Shane Warne β Glenelg
Played South Australia Premier Cricket while at the Cricket Academy in Adelaide.
8. Eric Freeman β Port Adelaide
Relentless fast Medium Bowler
9. Mike Hendricks β Adelaide
Excellent wicket Keeper
10. Rodney Hogg - Prospect, Woodville, Adelaide, Kensington
A serious batter hater even in Premier Cricket
11. Wayne Prior β Salisbury
As quick as anyone during the 1970βs and didnβt spare Premier Cricket batters.
I need to select a few reserves as most of the team would have been called up for national and state selections.
Nick Knight - East Torrens. Loved his Australian Premier experience
Barry Causby β Salisbury. Made well over a thousand runs one season
Joe Scuderi β Kensington and East Torrens. Great all rounder
Lance Gibbs β Prospect. In case Sobers or Warne werenβt available.
Coach - Howard Mutton
Manager - Peter Donaldson
Scorer - Trevor Mead
I do have a concerns of Sobers missing out on batting with the talent ahead of him and what mayhem would Warne and Sobers (bowling spin) have created after the quicks had caused havoc.
Fun times
