Q: Is it time to revamp the Sheffield Shield and first class cricket in Australia
Being passionate about cricket and in particular the ongoing production of quality cricketers to represent Australia I think it is time to reconsider the Sheffield Shield format.
I personally still believe Shield Cricket should be the only selection ground for future Australian test players.
My observation is the public have also lost all interest in attending Sheffield Shield matches.
Getting backsides on seats again will obviously be good for the game financially and motivating for our players and perhaps possibly less incentive for players to target franchise cricket.
First class cricket in Australia needs to be escalated back to its previous heights as the production factory for future high quality Australian Cricketers and as a spectacle of choice for supporters. (I don’t believe we should say it is too hard to achieve)
It also must be more motivating for First Class Cricketers to be playing in front of a large crowd then nobody at all.

Q: Meeting Harold Larwood and Keith Miller - what an honour
This photo was taken in Rockhampton at the conclusion of the Central Queensland Schoolboys trial in 1980 when I was 12
I was captain of the Mackay Schoolboys team playing against Rockhampton, Gladstone, Biloela and Emerald.
From the trials I have the good fortune of being named captain of the Central Queensland Schoolboys to play in Brisbane at the Queensland Schoolboys Carnival in Brisbane.
For most of the boys it was our first trip to Brisbane. We didn’t have a McDonalds in Mackay in 1980 and from memory we had a Big Mac just about every day in Brisbane.
When selected as captain it was a very proud moment to be given the opportunity to have a photo taken with two legends and gentleman of cricket, and they were true gentleman.
