Cricket NSW | February 23, 2023
Jason Arnberger was a Penrith junior and played Sydney Grade Cricket for Penrith so it was Arnie’s home ground when he scored 319 not out against NSW Country.
Jason made his debut for NSW during the 1994/95 and he moved to Victoria at the start of the 1997/98 season. He played his last first class game for Victoria against Queensland in March 2006.
In a first class career spanning 1994/95 to 2005/06 Jason Arnberger played 88 first class games and in 165 innings scored 6,049 runs at an average of 39.79.
He scored 13 first class centuries and 32 half centuries and took 58 catches.
Jason was awarded Victoria’s State Player of the year in 2005/06 and it was an unfortunate back injury that kept him out of the 2006/07 season and ultimately the end of his distinguished first class career.

Arnie was just as good a bloke as he was a batsman. Loved playing 2nd X1 with him, as opposed to bowling against him, especially at Howell Oval!!!
