Over the past three weeks, Cricket NSW has had the pleasure of connecting with local cricket communities across the state through the CNSW Country Roadshows.

The roadshows are designed to provide a great collaboration opportunity between the local community and Cricket NSW with an increased focus in the agenda this year on hearing from the community and seeking to understand what is working well and identifying areas requiring additional assistance.

G'day all. Just a heads-up about the middle grade kids' book 'Spirit of the Warriors' that will be released later this year by Crack-A-Story Publishing. The manuscript will soon be going to the printer and will be released in time for India's next cricket tour to Australia later this year. Here's a tease from the blurb. Smiles from afar, Knighty.

'It’s the start of an Australian summer, and a drought is raging in the bush. For strapping farm boy, Jack Riordan, swinging a cricket bat is the best way to escape from daily hardships. But what happens when an Indian family arrives in the small town of Stony Creek to begin a new life?

Suddenly, Jack is no longer the number one player in the district. That honour belongs to Ajeet Sharma who quickly becomes the star of the local school. Despite jealousies and misunderstandings, the boys must somehow work together on the field.

As their journey progresses, they learn each has painful secrets that have affected their lives. What are they? And what can the boys learn from them? The answers come from the strength of human spirit. From the author of 'My Life: Brett Lee' comes the story of Ajeet and Jack, and the unpredictable fortunes of the Stony Creek Public School cricket team.'

A decade since the ACT Comets last played as a standalone entity in the Toyota National Second XI competition, their return for the 2023/2024 season brought about a great sense of excitement amongst the local Canberra cricket community.

The Comets return made for a development stepping stone for local players to compete at a national level, an opportunity that motivated many local players who had been toiling away in the ACT competition without reward.

Time to let the cat…or should I say bull out of the bag!

I’ve accepted a job at Queensland Cricket as an Elite Physical Performance Coach. I am excited to get stuck in and work with some of the best coaches and athletes in Australia and drive the program forward into the future.

This brings an end to my journey in the Cricket system in the USA. It has been an absolute whirlwind of an experience. I tried my hardest to support the athletes and collaborate with some brilliant coaches over the years in what is a very challenging environment. Thanks to all the athletes and coaches for the great memories, you all hold a special place and I have learnt a lot from you all.

I was very fortunate to be a part of USA cricket gaining ODI status, a part of Major League Cricket growth and be a part of Washington Freedom for season one. I feel very fortunate to be here for so much growth and excitement over the last 6 years. However, the time is right to move on and head back to Australia with the family.

We set off next week for Brisbane. We can’t wait to make Brisbane our new home, create a heap of new adventures and experiences and work in the best system in the world. August can’t wait to see koalas, kangaroos and play cricket!

Brissy here we come! 🇦🇺💪🏼

Vale Anthony Raymond - 1969-2024

Aged 55, Gone too soon.
Big Ray had many good friends, a long-time loyal friend, and fellow Briar and umpire Gerard Abood, which summarises him perfectly below.

On Wednesday, 7 May 2024, we received the news that Anthony had passed away, after a long battle with his health. He was only 55 years old.

For those who knew him, it is inconceivable that it has come to this. Big, burly "Ray,” who seemed larger than life in so many ways, apparently was not. He was, it seems, as mortal as the rest of us, which just doesn’t make sense on any level.
