ON THIS DAY - 28th February

Armidale Waratahs (The Tahs) | February 29, 2024

In 1976, BRIAN JOICE (#218) bagged the best match figures of any Waratahs bowler, taking 14-55 (6-31 & 8-25) for A-Res grade v Uralla. Unfortunately, no detailed scorecard exists. The figures were only revealed last year when Lango was searching through an old Yearbook, which had been compiled when bowling performances for innings were recorded for 6-fas.


In 2004, (new record) MICHAEL McCULLOCH (#830) took 7-23 for 3rd grade v Uralla. (no scorecard ... yet)

Favourite bat: The one that scored the most.

Most memorable moment in cricket:
1952-53 A grade Final, beating Easts 2 outright after our worst A/1st grade total in the sixty year history of the club. Beat the very strong Uralla in the last round to just scrape into the semis and then Easts 1 in the Semi. Played one player short on the first day after a mix up with team sheets and made 163 in the sunshine, Ross Ridley 59. Easts 0-57 at stumps after four dropped catches. Didn't play the second day for two weeks because of the Armidale Show and then after four days of heavy rain. Wicket now a sticky and impossible to bat on. Easts all out for 95, Don Paul 6-24. Batting a second time, Waratahs still one short and Ridley now out injured, all out for 21. Easts needing 90 don't make it to halfway, all out for 43, Don Paul 7-20. Waratahs win their first premiership in only their third season.
