Graeme Watson (‘Beatle’) came to Sydney in 1976 with the reputation of being a very hard-hitting batsman and a bowler who, on his day, could be pretty sharp. He took a while to make his mark in Grade cricket – being in the Shield team meant he was coming and going all the time. The first game where he really showed his talents was against Sydney. Gordon had lost comfortably on the first innings, having got the worst of a damp wicket. A challenging second innings total was set for them, and, going on their first innings performance, an outright win looked highly unlikely. The target was 180 in about 105 minutes.
