Jim Cameron has had a long association with cricket in Sydney. Firstly playing Grade cricket for Gordon and then coaching overseas before turning his hand to umpiring where he had a long and distinguished career.
How long did it take to progress through to First Grade and then to First Class Cricket?
Two seasons after I started umpiring, I progressed to 1st grade in 1993/94 season. My first State game was a one day Mercantile Mutual fixture between NSW and South Australia in February 1995. It was a memorable game, which you can see from the newspaper cutting. My first Shield game was the next season. NSW v Victoria.
