Oswald Colin Blackman was born on 9 March 1942 in Griffith, NSW. A keen cricketer and left-hand bat, he moved to Sydney to pursue university studies shortly after completing his schooling at Griffith High. Having met State selector Dudley Seddon at a rep. cricket match in the Murrumbidgee area, he followed his advice and joined Petersham-Marrickville DCC prior to the start of the 1960-61 season. The 18-year-old impressed good judges and was immediately selected in 1st Grade for the opening match against Gordon at Marrickville. Batting no.7, he made a rather inauspicious start being stumped by future Australian wicketkeeper, Brian Taber, off future NSW leg-spinner, Dick Guy, for 4.
