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.

WEST Indies batting legend Brian Lara said the region will continue to fall behind in world cricket if better facilities and technology are not provided for the players.

Lara, who is in India doing commentary for the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 tournament, was speaking virtually on day two of the Caricom Cricket Conference at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port of Spain on Friday.

West Indies were a powerhouse in the 1970s, 1980s and in the first half of the 1990s.

“The lack of good facilities and academies with the right technology to grow the game kept us aside,” Lara said.

“We felt that our cricketers were naturally good and the way we learnt the game was still the best way. No, it was not and if we still believe that today we are in serious trouble
