Before looking at season 2019/20 I would like to take this performances, Copes is a brilliant leader and I’m extremely opportunity to congratulate both Trent Copeland and grateful for the support he provides both the team and Moises Henriques who were awarded life membership me. Pete Francis was one who stood up numerous times before the season commenced. Two people who thoroughly throughout the year.

A bag of wickets is not far away for him with honours the game has to offer, both Trent and Moises still some further hard work this off season. give back to the club whenever they get the chance – a reason why this club has the reputation it does and why everyone in Tom Engelbrecht is a highlight for me this year. His art is all cricket circles hold these two in the highest regard. the most difficult to perform in cricket and he was bowling outstandingly well towards the end of the year. Whilst the Onto season 2019/20… numbers don’t show the full story, Tom had some of the best batsmen in the comp in trouble and I have no doubt he Having developed well as a side over the past two seasons will win us plenty of matches next year.

The talent and potential is certainly there and if we can all reach that as Our bowling group had a number of other contributors a side I have no doubt we can win all three competitions. during the year. A severely injury affected season for Tom We had a number of amazing individual performances Ortiz, he gave everything whilst he was on the field, with throughout the year which was great to see. It’s now up to Luke Bartier and Walshy providing crucial wickets when us to find some consistency as a group and the bowling and thrown the ball. Not to mention these are three of the best batting groups to put it together on game day. team men you could ever wish for. The team is always at the forefront for them when they step foot on the field. It was a pleasure to see two new additions to the first grade squad this year. Joey Graham made the trip down south and The batting group was inconsistent this year. Again, some demonstrated he has what it takes to become a dominant brilliant individual performances at different stage but some spinner in first grade.

The second debutant was Jono Craig- Luke Bartier all played match winning innings throughout Dobson who worked extremely hard to get his first grade the year. Hoppa added two centuries to his tally with tons number. Dobbo is a real team man who always gives his best against Fairfield-Liverpool and Gordon. Nikko scored his and fights for everything. With some first grade experience maiden century against Hawkesbury which was a delight to now under his belt I expect him to kick on to bigger and watch. Whilst Barts didn’t get the large scores he would have better things next year. liked, he played a number of innings that resulted in a win for the side. Adam Whatley, Mitch Gray, Tom Engelbrecht As mentioned, we had a number of brilliant performances and Kaleb Phillips all contributed at different stages. I believe throughout the season. In terms of our bowling group, the these boys have what it takes to score significant runs in first old man Trent Copeland was our best whenever he suited grade and with a big off season there’s no reason why that up. Copes finished with a ridiculous average of 12, which can’t be for next year. included a 5 fa against Bankstown and an unforgettable hat- trick against Wests late in the day. Apart from his on field

This good run of form saw Kurt and read the report from last year and it was clear we were selected in 2’s and PG’s where he showed that he is up to disappointed with the way we batted. This season there was that standard. Kurt is a must watch player, he will definitely a collective group effort to improve on this from last year be playing higher grades! and not let the team down with ‘weak’ batting displays. Ethan Jamieson played just over half a season in 3’s this Although it was a year of ‘near misses’ we can confidently say year. Again he impressed with the bat. Ethan finished the that we improved from last year and took games as deep as 3’s season with 290 at 32.22. These were excellent numbers we could. We finished the season with 5 wins, 4 draws and to cap off a big season. I would also like to congratulate 6 losses. In 2 of those draws we posted 300+ and the other Ethan on his Green Shield season and his selection in the team batted out the overs, a couple of missed chances in the Australian U/16’s. Big things ahead! field and things could have been different. Early in the season we failed to chase 264 falling 6 runs short, the following week My report cannot be complete without giving a rap to Max we scored 332 in a chase of 351.

In season 2019 – 20 we were faced with the enormous Hawksbury that was instrumental in us beating the top side. challenge of backing up from a premiership win the previous In a side with plenty of spin options, Singo didn’t bowl the year.

Confronted with both these challenges I think we can be proud of a season where we were never outside the top six ‘I used to play with Sam Konstas’ is a brag I’m sure to make and most often inside the top 4. It’s easy, and accurate to a in the future, as he makes good on the enormous promise he point, to attribute our final position of 6th to bad luck, with has shown this year. Most outstanding was his 114 against weather robbing us of certain points in drawn games against Parramatta early in the season. Rather than content himself 16th, 19th and 20th and a draw that saw us not play teams with a ‘good’ score, Sam took responsibility for chasing down 10th, 11th and 13th. However, enough evidence exists to say a total of nearly 300, an amazing feat for a 14 year old in that we were probably just off the pace of the best team and his first game of 4th Grade. While scores didn’t always flow that Sydney University deserved the premier’s title. in subsequent games, there is ample evidence to suggest that Sam can justifiably set his sights on a long and successful The undeniable highlight of the season was the growth of career in the higher levels of our game. the younger players, many of whom were playing their first full season of grade cricket. This growth was not just in the While still just teenagers themselves, Eric Serra and Rory cricketing talent they frequently demonstrated, but also in the Russo took their place amongst the more experienced players manner they accepted responsibility in pressure situations, in the team this year.

It is my opinion, and that of others from inside and outside the Saints, that Joel Rush was the most accomplished keeper Alex Parthenis, Keiran Beadon, Jarod Brown and Declan in the competition. Joel was almost faultless behind the Hart made up the rest of the talented teenage brigade this stumps, with his excellence often being overlooked or taken year.

Joel is also a talented batsman who demonstrated his our younger players need to recognise that inconsistency is worth on more than one occasion finishing with 190 runs the norm for players still learning their game and the lessons @ 31.6. Joel accomplished these results with a humble yet learnt in this time will be the key to their success in future confident air, an attitude that has him perfectly prepared for seasons. an enormous future. If inconsistency is the burden of youth, consistency is the Singo is another of the teenagers who should be extremely benefit of experience. While no means a veteran at 23, Tom proud of his season.

Annual Report 2019–2020 51 In t e r v i e w Wi t h A Ch a m p i o n

fter two brilliant seasons for St George, Nathan Ellis was at that very common A crossroad faced by many high quality performers. Should I stay or should I go? On one hand, one realises their cricket has gone to the next level thanks to the nursery they were in. Do they continue to develop and try their luck in the very difficult NSW system or do they make the massive sacrifice and go interstate? It’s a lottery to say the least. This is where Nathan Ellis found himself a few years back. However, as the 2019-20 season would demonstrate, Nathan Ellis made the correct choice... unlike many before him. He had what is known as the “breakout” season, but as you will read it wasn’t without trial and tribulation. Nathan quickly propelled himself to one of the form cricketers in all three formats for Tasmania. Who knows where to from here...

52 St George District Cricket Club in depth with St George’s prodigal son Trent Copeland, I learnt that most players have felt it and still do feel it. Even after achieving great heights in the game. You appear to be the sort of cricketer that sponges from the senior cricketers you play with. Who at St George provided you with what you needed?

NATHAN: There is no doubt that the older, more experienced players are the heart and soul of a successful grade club. I feel like in every team I’ve played in I have always tried to be coachable and learn from the older guys. Playing for St George, there are three guys that stick out in my mind as having the biggest impact on me. First, and this has been pretty well documented, is Trent Copeland. He was one of the main reasons I came to Saints and from the outset he had a huge impact on my game He is still a major mentor for me despite being a competitor at times. Ironically, Copes’ first piece of advice for me was that I didn’t bowl my bouncer enough. So I naturally had a little chuckle to Firstly congratulations on an amazing season. Can you myself when he came out to bat at Blundstone Arena believe how the season played out for yourself? and put a short leg in and said, “Bounce him first ball”. NATHAN: I’d absolutely be lying if I was to say that I saw this season coming. If you had told me in June Second, was Steve Cazzulino. I met “Cazz” on a cricket 2019 what the upcoming season was to have in store camp in India. We roomed together and me being for me, I would have laughed in your face. Cliché I a cricket nuff, and him being a first class cricketer, I know, but even at this moment, it still doesn’t feel like naturally chewed his ear off in the evenings asking it really happened. things like, “So what’s Punter like?” Fielding at mid-off “Cazz” always knew what to say to me and when to say We could probably now put you into the journeyman it. He also played a vital role in my move to Tasmania category, tell us a little bit about where your cricketing and I now play for Lindisfarne, the same club down journey began. there as he did. NATHAN: I guess I’m a bit of journeyman now, but it Lastly, is a club stalwart in Stewart McCabe. One of the wasn’t something that I planned. It was an interesting most natural and talented players I played alongside, start for me. I started a little later than most. My first but also one of the most ruthless. “Stewo” and I got on season was the the 10Cs wearing my white SHORTS really well on and off the field, but I think his captaincy for the Illawong Menai Kookaburras. also got the best out of me. Being sprayed from gully with, “Enough with the 110km half volleys”, when I When did you first think to yourself, I might just have was bowling poorly really fired me up. I also admired what it takes to play first class cricket? how ruthlessly aggressive he was when the game was NATHAN: Mate, the short answer is I MAYBE felt it on the line. after my second first class game against the Blues just How does someone who works so hard take things to recently. It’s a funny one. I have been told repeatedly the next level? over the last three to four years that my way in is through the white ball formats. I think having being NATHAN: is now a coach in Tasmania. told it so much, I genuinely started to believe it. Even After having a good season in my first or second year after getting my opportunity to play Shield cricket with in Tassie he said something to me that has really stuck the mystical red ball, I still struggle. I have struggled due with me to this day. He said, “Some blokes just have to a large number of injuries at and to wait longer than others”. It sucks, but in cricket it’s definitely still do struggle with believing that I belong true. “Rohrs” himself didn’t get his first contract until there but, it’s funny, after talking with a few players and 27 or 28. So 100% it is persistence. Banging down

Annual Report 2019–2020 53 Is there a particular type of where you become so airborne? NATHAN: I honestly have no idea. This is going to sound very strange, but I genuinely think it’s a combination of an effort ball and me wanting to see the outcome and forgetting to put my right foot down in time. I wouldn’t recommend it. The talk has been all about your bowling but in your second season with the Saints we saw a dramatic improvement in your batting where you emerged as a genuine allrounder. Do you believe there is potential for you at state level or are you encouraged to focus more on bowling in order to get optimum results? NATHAN: I absolutely love batting. As bowlers we are really encouraged to work hard on our batting and during the pre-season we do a heap of role specific work. For example, last five overs in a one dayer, or nightwatchmen facing fast bouncers etc. But, I really want to lock down the number 8 or 9 role and be able to score some late order runs or get top order batsmen to their hundred. As I said I love it, but struggle the door by taking wickets and scoring runs until they sometimes to fight the mental demons telling us to hit cannot ignore you anymore. It’s just that some have to sixes every second ball, or ramp the opening bowler. bang on the door for longer. Just me? Definitely not!!! I imagine leaving Sydney for Tasmania hasn’t been easy. How close have you been to coming back to Sydney?

NATHAN: In July last year I had all but started packing. Moving away from home, away from family and friends obviously had its challenges. I had two really good seasons in 1st grade, with minimal second XI opportunity. So I was pretty content that I had given it a fair crack and was ready to come home, start growing up and build a career of some sort. But, at the last minute the head coach, called me into his office and asked me to do the pre-season with the full squad, but without a contract offer. Even though he dangled the carrot in front of me, I still thought about Finally, where do you personally see Nathan Ellis in moving back home. But, it was the fear of regret later in five years time? life that kept me down there. Gee, I’m glad I stayed!! NATHAN: I feel that right now I am at a pretty crucial There have been some unbelievable images taken of you point in my career. You know, I have had one year on the big stage, I have been able to compete in most bowling which I guess underlines the effort you put in games, but it is such a volatile industry. One bad year when you bowl. How’s the body holding up? and I could be back mowing lawns, or one good year, NATHAN: There is a lot going on in my bowling action, who knows what could happen. So ideally I want to so I guess between that and me, face planting once or keep competing, and make myself un-droppable. twice a spell, it’s a pretty good photo “op”. The body is I want to play as much cricket as I can and push for pretty good. Last season was definitely a shock to the higher honours, as I’m sure we all want to. So in five system and I had to learn little things like what recovery years time I just want to have played as much cricket works best for me and the importance of listening to as possible and know that I have given myself the best my body. But, all in all, I am right as rain and ready opportunity to succeed, left nothing in the tank, tried for next season! to soak it up and enjoyed it as much as I can.

In that time he has had a major influence on many cricketers who have gone on to bigger and better things. For the last decade of Warwick’s grade life, he devoted his time and energy to mentoring the club’s youth in the lower grades, where he continued to perform with distinction, passing the elusive 100 grade wickets mark with his wily off spin. As a testament to his fitness and passion for the game, Warwick managed to earn a place in the Australian Over

In cards sold last year for $3,000. later years Scanlens, Tip Top Bakeries, Cricket Associations, The Crusaders Cricket Club, The Bradman Museum, and the Melbourne Cricket Club have joined the advertising and marketing bandwagon. The cards depicting the cricketer on the front often had a brief biography on the reverse. As the years have progressed trading cards have moved with the times, pre-signed cards by the subject, swatches of game worn memorabilia and even DNA hair samples of their subjects. With the advent of a strong marketing After World War Two Bob Cristofani, his name was campaign by cricket shown as R Christophani and R Lindwell, also wrong, organisations in the appeared on cards with no ‘sponsors’. Arthur Morris 1970’s and the advent of , made his debut on Crispies Weeties Vita-Brits in 1947 Kerry O’Keeffe gained a call up in the Suncrist Cricket with Ray Lindwall in a series titled ‘Sportsmen’s Photos’ Series.

The only stumbling cards. If we cast our minds back block was who refused to sign the cards, further then Marvin Atapattu, despite being approached from his former teammate Mark Stoneman, and Jeffrey Sir Donald Bradman. He did sign a few cards that see a Cook (Northamptonshire, complete set selling anywhere between $4,000 - $6,000. Nottinghamshire, Hampshire, and Surrey) have adorned trade and promotional cards. Some years ago, I asked several cricketers whether they were paid money for the opportunity of having a card depicting them in the market. Arthur Morris’s response was ‘no I never thought about it’, Kerry O’Keeffe ‘no Ronnie’, and Murray Bennett ‘never’. As for Don Bradman it was his team in 1934 that were paid money for a series of cards produced during the tour of England. In passing, the most valuable set depicting a St George player is the 1961 depicting Brian Booth. My card is signed by the wonderful man and sits on my filing cabinet under a framed set of 1938 John Player & Sons set depicting three St George men – Bradman, O’Reilly, and Ward. A popular set was the Scanlen’s Bubble Gum which depicted Brian Booth (no 17), Norm O’Neill (no 3) and Ro n a l d Ca r d w e l l former St George player Les Favell (no 33). A complete June 2020
