I played Grade Cricket for North Sydney and Balmain (now Sydney CC) between 1982 and 1993, then I moved to Lane Cove Shires. My First Grade debut was in 1985 and I played with great players far more talented than me. When I got asked to name my best Grade team I thought of many great players, but I have tried to pick the ones that were great teammates and I have factored in fielding as a factor cause I remember many a victory where fielding made the difference. So here we go….
1. Vernon Kringas – North Sydney
Vince was the ultimate competitor who scored runs when it was difficult. He was the opposite of a fair weather cricketer and hands down the best fielder I ever played with.
