Q: Who played the best innings you've seen in a game you played?
A: Against - Michael Bevan at Manly oval around 1996/97 - made 170 odd and never looked like getting out vs Stuey Clark, McGill, etc……I just thought this bloke was a class above!

Played with - Matt Bradley 212 not out in 1999/2000 vs Hawkesbury was special, I don’t think he gave a chance - distinct memory of him batting without a lid and no hat which was a rare site even back then!!!

Q: My best grade teams - Jason Holley 1993 to 2010

I was 15 when I first started playing with Sutherland District Cricket Club and 17 when I made my first grade debut in 1993. John Dyson was my first captain and it turned out to be his last season before retiring

Over many years I had the good fortune to play with many great players at our club. We were lucky to have Test players, first class players and a group of guys that trained hard, played good cricket and enjoyed each other’s company on and off the field.

With this in mind I’ve selected two teams.

I’ve selected my best ever Sutherland team from players I played with and then another where I’ve played with everyone for over 12 months and we trained, played cards and had the odd beverage together.

My best ever Sutherland District Cricket club team.

1. John Dyson
2. Rod Davison
3. Steve Smith - Captain
4. Justin Kenny
5. Phil Jaques
6. Jason Young
7. Shane Duff – wicket keeper
8. Phil Weatherall
9. Stuart Clark
10. Glenn McGrath
11. Stuart MacGill.

My second team is based on players who I played with for more than 1 season

1. Phil Jaques
2. Rod Davison
3. Steve Smith - Captain
4. Justin Kenny
5. Jason Young
6. Luke Dudman
7. Grant Roden
8. Shane Duff – Wicket keeper
9. Stuart Clark
10. Brad Guthrie
11. Daniel Maclauchlan

Q: What’s the best way for a teenage fast bowler to work out how long their run up should be?
A: The old Dk Lillie theory, stand at the bowling crease, close your eyes, think of yourself as a steam train and run outwards/away from the crease slowly building momentum, have someone mark the spot you feel at your optimum to release!
