The following is a Gordon cricket historians biased view on the comparison between Victor Trumper and Sir Donald Bradman, considered the best two batsman who ever played for Australia. Make your own mind up as to who you would have preferred to go and watch.

Test Records:
Player Matches Innings NO Runs HS Avg Balls 100’s 50’s 4’s 6’s
Bradman 52 80 10 6996 334 99.9 9684 29 13 681 6
Trumper 48 89 8 3163 214* 39.0 1339 8 13 260 4

The comparisons are obvious when looking at totals, centuries, average and total runs. One comparison, however, that is not often looked at is that Trumper scored most of his runs offshore, where wickets were uncovered and often very wet.

We arrived at North Sydney with ominous skies overhead and, before we could park the car, the heavens opened up and large raindrops threatened both the match and the Bears Community Day, featuring a bake sale for the Jane McGrath Foundation’s Pink Stumps Day that had been planned.

The girls arrived running through the rain with cricket kit in one hand and cakes, chocolate-dipped strawberries, meringues and cookies etc in the other! Thankfully, after about 10 minutes, the rain stopped and the skies began to clear. Much to everyone's surprise the umpires advised they would be starting the game at the scheduled time provided we could get the covers off and the ground ready on time. At this point fathers descended from everywhere to lend a hand and 15 minutes later the ground was ready for the day's play.

Gordon Roy Asprey, who was born at Petersham on 23 August 1890 was commonly known by his middle name Roy, throughout his life. And while the Church of England railway clerk had a successful cricket career with Marrickville, he was a “late starter”, not joining the club until the 1911-12 season when he was 21.

A left-arm spin bowler, he began with a match in the Marrickville third team playing in the City and Suburban competition. Taking 1-22 at the bowling crease and hitting 32 with the bat, he was immediately promoted to the Second XI playing in the NSW Cricket Association’s 3rd Grade competition.

In the winter of 2015, Daniel Rixon broke his thumb playing Aussie Rules for St.George. As a result, he missed the start of the 2015-16 season as he waited for the injury to recover. In order to prove his fitness to resume in 1st Grade, he came back through 2nd Grade in Round 6 vs Hawkesbury at Owen Earle Oval. At the time, he had played 261 matches for Sutherland, including 221 in 1sts, with a highest score of 95, made in 1sts the previous season.

He certainly proved that he had fully recovered from his thumb injury, opening the batting and smashing a club record score for 2nd Grade with 272 off 248 balls
