Q: In early 2006, The Committee of Western Suburbs invited a group of former players and administrators to advise the Cricket Committee of the greatest players to represent the Club in the period from 1895 to 2000. Alan Davidson, Stan Sismey, Tom Brown and Bernie O'Neil sorted through the Club's records and player performances and produced their list of the Club's finest players.
The Committee then applied the criterion that each player, to be eligible for the "Team of the Millennium". must have been available to play for Western Suburbs for five full seasons. The Committee took into account lavers' performances not only for Western Suburbs, but also at higher levels of the game.

Q: In the Australian winter of 1972, at the age of 15, my parents sent my sister and me to Greece to meet our relatives for the first time.
We were Monemvasia (southeast corner of the Peloponess) and sitting at a table in my Uncle’s restaurant.
A gentleman beside us overheard me speaking and reached across to ask if I was English. I politely answer “No I’m Australian”.
He then asked if I had heard of Don Bradman

Q: The period from the 1950s to the 1970s was a heyday of Sydney grade cricket.
St George was clearly the team to watch, but Western Suburbs often proved to be the Saints nemesis at finals time. This was particularly so when Alan Davidson turned out for Wests, as he won finals in 59-60 and 63-64 and the 64-65 semi-final almost single-handedly. Each time he had with him a fine state bowler in Les Ellis but Davo’s exploits were telling. Each time St George was missing Brian Booth while Norm O’Neill also missed the 63-64 final as both were on their way to the 1964 Ashes in England. Wally Wellham, Ken Muller, Grahame Corling and Jim De Courcy were the pick of the Wests players in the early 60s. In the late 60s Test skipper Bob Simpson captained effectively and had Gary Gilmour, Brian Rhodes and Stuart Webster as three fine pace bowlers and a dangerous left arm tweaker in Peter Ferguson, while Bob Bartlett was a tough top-order batsman.

Q: The beauty of the Tooheys Cup - Wagga Wagga v Albury
Can you imagine half the Australian Test cricket team playing an exhibition game in the county regions a week before the first Ashes Test? Well, it happened in the 1990s thanks to the magic of the Tooheys Cup!
As a cricket mad kid growing up in Wagga Wagga, there was nothing like the thrill of when the Tooheys Cup rolled into town. The concept saw the full strength NSW Sheffield Shield Team play an exhibition match between two local towns (in my case Wagga vs Albury), with 6 shield players on each side intertwined with 5 of the best local players from each town.
A brilliant concept that gave the bush boys a chance to pit their skills against cricketing royalty and a chance for all country cricket lovers to see their heroes in the flesh. A legitimate match where the lads went hard.
