All-rounder Moises Henriques will play his 100th Sheffield Shield match when he leads the NSW Men’s Team against Western Australia at the SCG in the fixture that begins on Monday.

Selectors have named a 13-player Blues squad that includes three additions to the 11 that went down to Victoria at the MCG in their last Shield match. One player will drop out of the squad later today.

Fast bowler Liam Hatcher, all-rounder Hayden Kerr and powerful batter Ollie Davies come in for Ben Dwarshuis and Jack Edwards. Chris Green was 12th man for the Melbourne fixture and is again in the squad for this clash. Edwards was not considered for selection as he manages minor niggles.

UTS North Sydney Cricket Club - September, October 2023 - Month 1 wrap

First Grade opened with a new-look T20 competition that brought a few new faces to the North Sydney First Grade squad, with 3 debuts. Everett Oxenham, Addison Sherriff and Hugh Sherriff became players 690, 691 and 692, respectively, for the club. Everett and Addison's debuts were also their first games in First Grade.

In a strange quirk to the new format, our first match, against last year's finalists, Sydney Uni, was played at Bensons Lane in Hawkesbury. After winning the toss and batting first, we only managed to post 7-119 off our 20 overs, with contributions from JA (Justin Avendano), Mac Jenkins and Maresy (Dylan Mares)to help us to the total. With a modest total on the board, we would need to be inch-perfect with the ball and almost were, with Sydney Uni passing our total 8 down with just 3 balls to spare. Debutant Everett was the pick of the bowlers, taking 3-26 off his 4. Fellow spinner Mac was also miserly, taking 2-23 off his 4.

Five things we learned from Round 4 - NSW Premier Cricket 2023-24

Tim Cummins isn’t keeping wicket for Sydney University just now, while he recovers from recent eye surgery. He’s still seeing the ball well enough, though, as he’s made his best start to the season with the bat for a few years. University lost two very early wickets against Fairfield, but a bright stand between Damien Mortimer and Ryan McElduff had steadied the innings. Cummins went to the crease when Mortimer, who made a fluent 49, nicked the first ball of the second session. Cummins was quickly in stride, driving Jaydyn Simmons past cover for 4, then using his feet well to attack left-arm spinner Cameron Frendo. Frendo, an Australian Under-19 representative, is certainly a promising talent, but at the moment his length is a touch mechanical, and Cummins went deep into his crease to cut and pull deliveries that were barely fractionally short.

With the ACT’s return to the Toyota National 2nd XI competition a little over a week away, Premier Cricket performances are becoming important not just for weight of numbers, but for their timing as well.

Weston Creek Molonglo top order bat Zak Keogh’s star continues to rise, with a well-made 123-ball innings of 109 against Tuggeranong at Stirling notable for the comfort with which he reached three figures.

Keogh batted superbly through the second session to bring up his first century of the summer and pushed the ‘Creek to 254 where they were bowled out in the 59th over. Daniel Oshyer was the chief destroyer with 5-39 from 15 overs for Tuggeranong, who finished the day 3-91 from 37 overs.

At ANU North, WA import and promising allrounder Lachie Simpson posted his first ton in Canberra, finishing unbeaten on 159 and helping the Students reach 289 against Queanbeyan.

Andrew Rochford announces immediate retirement

Back-to-back Premiership winning captain Andrew Rochford has announced his immediate playing retirement.

He will also be stepping down from his role on the Board.

Andrew has been a colossus for the club since coming back to the playing field 5 years ago after an almost 20 year hiatus.

His leadership on the field has been second to none. He always drove his teams to be the best that they could be, resulting in M4s winning back-to-back titles for the first time in any grade in our clubs history.

He will be sorely missed.
