“Ray McNamee has my admiration and respect for, of all the medium pace bowlers it has been my good fortune to play with or against, I regard Ray as the best”. These are the words of the Randwick champion batsman and 1st Grade captain Alec Marks following McNamee’s retirement at the conclusion of the 1936-37 season when aged 41.
Ray McNamee was one of Randwick’s greatest bowlers. He headed the bowling honours in 10 of his 14 seasons in 1st Grade producing some magnificent performances. He was also a successful bowler at first-class level taking five wickets in an innings five times for NSW.
