I have known David “Cracker “Hourn since I played AW Green Shield for Waverley as a 14 year old and also while scoring for 1st Grade at the same age which was a wonderful experience both on and off the field.

In 44 first class games for New South Wales Cracker took 164 wickets at an average of 28.71 with best figures of 9 for 77. He took 5 wickets in an innings on 11 occasions and two 10 wickets match hauls.

In Sydney Grade Cricket Cracker took 655 wickets at an average of 19.39 from 1967 to 1992 and on 42 occasions he took 5 or more wickets in an innings.
