Frogan's Cricket tales

I first started when I went to grade in 1968 going down before cricket started at Chatswood Oval for the Saturday Morning Coaching Classes run by Clyde Coltman and from then on it remained a passion for the next 40 years. I remained on the committee at West Pymble and coached their U/16’s and then Brian Taber suggested I sit for my level 1 Coaching Certificate.

After finishing Art School in 1972 I took up a Teachers College Scholarship at Sydney Teachers College majoring in Art and Health Education.

I went and saw Brian Booth the Head of PE and he suggested I take cricket in second semester. I turned up for the 1st class and sat in the front row. Brian spoke about what we were going to do and then said this half goes with me and the other half go with Graham pointing to me. He had not said a word so I think Brian Taber and him got together and my coaching journey was off and running.
