Someone mentioned to me this would be fun, it was.
I was fortunate to play with some great players and people during my time at Waverley now known as Easts Cricket Club in Sydney.
Here’s my best combined team I played with at the peak of their powers from the Waverley/Easts Cricket Club era from 1984-2004 when we won the 1990/91 and 2003/04 First Grade premierships. It was a privilege to lead the team in 2003/04.
In batting order:
1. Paul Prichard – Captain
2. Jimmy Marshall
3. Greg Geise
4. Darren Kingdon
5. Brad Haddin – Wicket Keeper
6. Greg Matthews
7. Kyle Thompson
8. Malcolm Marshall
9. Adrian Tucker
10. Anthony Stuart
11. David Hourn
12th man – Jeff Cook

question
Q: When captaining a cricket team, it is always very important to watch and take notice of the batters grip and the plane in which the bat comes down when they look to play either a defensive or attacking shot.
I remember watching a grade final at Coogee Oval and No 8 and 9 were batting and they needed 50 dd to win.
After watching the batsman hit every ball square and slashing a few behind point the captain and bowler decided to all the fielders on the off side much squarer and also put in a fly slip about 10m in from the boundary.
2 balls later ball was pitched up outside the off stump and the batter played a big slash and got a thick outside edge straight to into the hands of fly slip.
The fielding team went on to defend the score and win the premiership.
The message I took from watching what happened was always be thinking and backing yourself as captain
