The Eastern Suburbs (Waverley) Cricket Club in its 125 year history has been blessed with many outstanding wicket keepers. Keepers such as Brad Haddin, Peter Nevill, both recent Australian representatives and Ferris Ashton, better known for his football prowess, but who was an outstanding gloveman and the first wicket keeper to make a first grade century for the club. The club’s keeping tradition was to begin with Hanson “Sep” Carter who joined the club in 1897, played continuously for 30 seasons, and was to represent and one time captain Australia with distinction.
