Tom Decent made his first grade debut for Hawkesbury Cricket Club during the 2010/11 season as a 17 year old wicket keeping batsman.

In the season prior to making his first grade debut Tom had the good fortune of playing in the NSW Under 17 team with future Australian Test players Pat Cummins and Kurtis Patterson.

Tom retired from cricket at the age of 23 to concentrate on a journalism career where you can now find him on the other side of the boundary writing about cricket and other sports.
