Q: My Best Grade team - Pat Culpan 2000 to 2020

I have been lucky enough to sit in the best seat in the house for Valley District Cricket Club for the last 23 years. I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly but enjoyed every moment of watching every ball. Here is my VDCC team of the 21st century:

1. Lachlan Pfeffer (Wicket Keeper)

Pfeffy fills the role of opener and wicket keeper. Good enough to play for Queensland in either role. VDCC 1st Grade career 3745 runs @ 34.68 with 10 centuries, 151 catches and 10 stumping’s.

2. Matthew Hayden

Haydos was a country boy and went to Marist Brothers College in Ashgrove, a quick walk down the hill and he was playing for Valley. Scored big for VDCC as well as he did for Queensland and Australia

question
Q: Jack and his Grandfather - special

I have scored many memorable matches in my 45 years of scoring 1st Grade or higher, including multiple Test and International limited over matches all over this world, I have scored 230 two-day premiership matches for my current club as well as limited over matches, so I have seen many memorable moments and matches. Matches won off the final over/ball, hat tricks, great run chases, bowlers getting 10 wickets in an innings (I’ve score that twice) and many other memories, however there is one match which stands out in my recollection and memory.

It was the weekend of the 18th & 19th January 2014 and Valley District Cricket Club had a two-day match against a very strong Toombul side
