Graham Spring debuted for North Sydney against Sutherland in 1979/80 and holds North Sydney 1st Grade Cap No 469. Over the next dozen years, Graham Spring was to become one of Sydney Grade Cricket’s finest all-rounders. He finished with 5,809 1st Grade runs and 260 1st Grade wickets.
Graham was a superb, elegant right-handed batsman, wonderful right-arm seam bowler and exquisite slip fieldsman. On the 3rd of December 1982, at the age of 21, Graham Spring was selected in the NSW Sheffield Shield team to play against South Australia at the SCG. He batted at Number 6 and bowled first change behind the Test pacemen, Len Pascoe and Mike Whitney. As testament to the strength of this NSW XI, which went on to win the inaugural Sheffield Shield Final that season, the other 10 members of this team all played Test Cricket for Australia.
