Five things we learned from Round 11 - NSW Premier Cricket 2023-24
New year, same old stuff
We’re a couple of weeks into the new year, which means that most of those earnest resolutions made late on 31 December are now receding into the distance. Not much has changed in Premier Cricket, either. On Saturday, St George won and Blake McDonald scored 184. Chatswood Oval had a road where its pitch should be, and Tym Crawford (pictured) smashed 164. It’s just like 2023.

Sydney University went down to Gordon at Chatswood Oval, after the inevitable (but still impressive) Tym Crawford century. But they went down fighting, thanks in part to an exceptional all-round effort from Will Salzmann, who backed up his four wickets with a spectacular innings.
