Week 12 – ‘The Opening Spell’

On a weekend that promised a few big scores, one batter achieved a feat seen only twice before!

First ball – Doubling up!

Gordon's first-grade captain, Tym Crawford, delivered just the third double-century in the history of the Sydney first-grade Limited-Overs Cup competition on Saturday at Chatswood Oval. This competition has been contested from 1967/68 to 1975/76, from 1985/86 to 1987/88, and continuously since 1992/93.

Crawford sent 10 deliveries sailing over the boundary rope on the full and 14 along the ground on the way to an unbeaten innings of 205 runs from only 140 balls against a Penrith bowling attack. His extraordinary batting performance comes exactly one week after scoring an outstanding century (101) against UTS North Sydney.
