I was 15 when I first started playing with Sutherland District Cricket Club and 17 when I made my first grade debut in 1993. John Dyson was my first captain and it turned out to be his last season before retiring
Over many years I had the good fortune to play with many great players at our club. We were lucky to have Test players, first class players and a group of guys that trained hard, played good cricket and enjoyed each other’s company on and off the field.
With this in mind I’ve selected two teams.
I’ve selected my best ever Sutherland team from players I played with and then another where I’ve played with everyone for over 12 months and we trained, played cards and had the odd beverage together.
