In early 2006, The Committee of Western Suburbs invited a group of former players and administrators to advise the Cricket Committee of the greatest players to represent the Club in the period from 1895 to 2000. Alan Davidson, Stan Sismey, Tom Brown and Bernie O'Neil sorted through the Club's records and player performances and produced their list of the Club's finest players.
The Committee then applied the criterion that each player, to be eligible for the "Team of the Millennium". must have been available to play for Western Suburbs for five full seasons. The Committee took into account lavers' performances not only for Western Suburbs, but also at higher levels of the game.
