Q: After reading the interview one of the players in the game, Sutherland’s wicket keeper Shane Duff shared the scorebook of the game and we very much appreciate Shane's permission to share the scorebook.
Shane remembers the game fondly as he took his first dismissal in first grade.
A. Gilchrist stumped Duff bowled Chapman 1
The scorecard makes for fascinating reading.
The game was in November 1990 and it was Round 4 in the Sydney Grade Cricket competition between Sutherland DCC and Gordon CC at the leafy Killara Oval, Gordon’s home ground.
Firstly a piece of real cricketing history, the scorebook…remember the days.
