Q: Clinton Perren progressed through the grades at Northern Suburbs District Cricket Club relatively quickly, from 5th grade to his debut in first grade at the age of 18.
Clinton’s career blossomed through Queensland under age teams and he was a graduate of the 1995 Australian Cricket academy in 1995.
He made his first class debut for Queensland on 27 October 1998 against NSW at Manuka Oval in Canberra and scored 28 in Queensland only innings as they defeated NSW by an innings and 66 runs.
In a tremendous career Clinton played 84 first class and 105 one day games for Queensland.
In first class cricket he scored 4,785 runs at 34.92 including 10 centuries and 23 half centuries and took 80 catches.
In one day cricket he scored 2,919 runs at an average of 35.59 and hit 2 centuries and 21 half centuries and took 21 catches.

A: Played against Clint Perren on the SCGXI tour I did to the UK in 2013. He was playing for MCC, on the Nursery Ground at Lords. Was the biggest mismatch ever, we were average at best and they put out a proper team, including him and a couple of young blokes from England U19. Anyhow, Clint came in near the end, they were 2 or 3 down and only needed 30 or 40 with 15+ overs left. Well I think it took him about 10 balls, he scored nearly all of them including hitting one out of the ground into the top deck of the back of the stand next to the media centre on the main ground. I think it’s the biggest hit I’ve ever seen!

A: Has been a privilege to get to know Woody playing alongside him in Masters cricket the past couple of years. Absolute champion bloke and still good enough to play 1st grade if he wanted.

Q: Who is the one player from Brisbane Grade Cricket who played between 1980 and 2000 you’d want as the first player selected if you had the opportunity to start your own Queensland Premier first grade cricket team?
A: I’m going to cheat and pick 2 as well.
Peter Skuse was captain at Toombul when I had half a season there in 1994…quality cricketer, bloke and leader.
Scott Prestwidge, who was in NSW 19’s with me in 1986, was one of the best all rounders I ever shared a field with.

Q: Looking for some advice.
In one day cricket predominantly and against the spinners I’ve been having trouble beating the box fielder at mid wicket. I’ve not been timing being the ball well enough to get passed them or when I use my feet I’m struggling to get to the pitch of the ball and can’t generate any power in the shot.
Any tips on how to improve the shit because I see the good players do it so well and limit the number of dot balls.

A: Firstly, practice and persistence…results will follow. Personally, if the pitch was slower and turning, I tended to try to play the spinners off the back foot. Gives just a little more time to see the line and find the gap. Also don’t try to hit the ball too hard, especially if the aim is to hit the gap and get a 1 or 2. Concentrate on timing and finding the middle of the bat…and watch the ball right onto the bat.
When advancing, fully commit and get a big first step in…play straight.

Q: Recently I found my dad’s (Alan Davidson) 1st Grade Premiers Cap of 1948-49 for Northern District Cricket Club and the letter from the club Secretary advising him of his selection in the First Grade Team at the start of the season.
Dad was working at the Commonwealth Bank in Gosford at the time and living in Lisarow.
The letter dated 19 September 1948 goes like this.
Dear Mr Davidson,
Tonight the selectors chose you in our First Grade Eleven for the match at Waitara on Saturday, 25/9/48, subject to your being able to be on the ground at the correct starting time, viz 1-30pm. This applies every Saturday during the season.
You have also been chosen in our First Eleven for the Eight Hour Day Match at Waitara commencing at 10am sharp.
Much as we would be pleased to have your services, I am sure that you will appreciate the fact that your attendance on time is very necessary and in view of your discussion with Mr Caldwell on the difficulties of your transport, the selectors have requested that you make your position known to me at the earliest possible moment so as we can make any adjustments necessary.
With Kind Regards
Yours faithfully
Hon Sec
Apparently, Dad’s father Keith would wait outside the Bank in Gosford where dad worked on Saturday mornings until 10am, with the engine of his old Ford Model, a crank start car running, so as to get to Waitara on time.
He finished the first season, winning the competition and winning the clubs and Sydney bowling averages with 38 wickets at 14.2 apiece and becoming the youngest person in history to do it.

Q: Who are the captains, coaches and leaders in cricket, sport, business or any field of life you admire and relate to most in terms of their achievements, respect and what they stand for?
If you’d like to mention why, please do.

A: Very impressed with Brendon McCullum, both as New Zealand Z skipper and what he’s doing now with England. I like his creativity to look at an issue/challenge from a new angle and to then pursue the pathway with clarity and conviction.
One from the past…Neale Fraser, the long term Australian Davis Cup captain from the 1970’s to the 90’s. Got great results from teams that often didn’t have the highest ranked players but drove them through old fashioned values of mateship and hard work.
