question
Q: Brad Bannister made his first grade debut in Newcastle at the age of 19 just two years after playing his first real game of cricket.
It’s been quite the journey and Brad now playing veterans cricket still enjoys the camaraderie and mateship of the game he loves.
Who was the best captain you had the good fortune to play with?
Steve Clarkson when I moved to Belmont. Clarky knew everything about all the other player in the comp. I remember when I first moved there he commented that he had always wanted to captain my bowling because he had so many plans against each batsman. They mostly worked too. Also played tough and never gave an inch.
