“I wished I’d been a little more patient”.

These are the words of Matt Lewis who was selected in the Australian Over 50s Cricket team to play at the Over 50s Cricket World Cup in South Africa in March 2020. Sadly for Matt and all participants Covid cut short the World Cup after just 2 games.

Growing up in Chullora, Matt had plenty of sporting talent. He was playing cricket for Bankstown Cricket club in the Sydney Grade Cricket Competition and had been spotted by Rugby League Coach Warren Ryan and his school’s sports master as a talented number 6.
