PRESIDENT’s MESSAGE

The 75th season for the Cricketers’ Club of New South Wales has been a momentous one. Along with the significance of the anniversary the club has continued to find success both on and off the cricket field.

Our over 50s side won the Classics competition for the first time, our C&S side qualified for the final of the Jack Pace Shield and our Masters and Social teams enjoyed several excellent wins.

I would like to congratulate Garry Winney in captaining his side to the Classics premiership. The league has really improved over the past few seasons and Garry’s side took on every challenge and produced outstanding results across the season. To see everyone playing for each other and working as a team was great to watch and the guys earned their title…well done to all players involved.

The City and Suburban side also had an excellent summer. The Jack Pace Final was a tough match against a very good Knox Old Boys side who I congratulate on their win. Ian Allmey and his team did exceptionally well against much younger opposition and I am sure they will be keen to go one step further next season.

The Masters continued to perform well against younger sides as well and are continuing to find new talent to help shape the side into a team to be reckoned with.

Our residency at Camperdown is in an exciting new phase as Marrickville Council continues its plan to renovate and upgrade the facilities. On top of the quality centre square we have enjoyed for many seasons the new sightscreens, changing rooms and picket fence will transform our beloved Camperdown in to a wonderful cricket ground for the club and our visitors to enjoy for many seasons to come. With these changes comes challenges and your Management Committee is working hard to ensure we are well placed to continue our tenancy at Camperdown. My thanks to all of the Committee for the hard work over the year and to all club members for their contributions to ensuring a successful season.

I urge you all to join us at the 75th Anniversary dinner on June 17th to celebrate the past, present and future of our cricket club. We are well placed to continue for many years to come.

Greg Brooks President

2 City and Suburban: -Played: 14 ; Won: 12 (1 by forfeit); Lost: 3; Drawn: 0; Cancelled: 3 (2 because of rain).

30 players turned out for the C&S side this season compared with 33 last season. Of these, 23 were Club members compared with 19 last season and 7 were guest players compared with 14 last season. This was made up of a core of 14 players who played 5 or more games, compared with 13 such players last season. We won 12 games (one by forfeit) and lost 3 compared to last season when we won 10 and lost 5. We lost in the final of the Jack Pace Trophy. Two games were cancelled by rain the same as last season.

THE TEAM FOR THE JACK PACE FINAL

Back row: - Euan Robertson (12th man), Ed Smith, Paul Nash, Ian Allmey (c), Nathan Reay, David Byrnes, Damien Langley, Sam Millar Front Row: - Regan Smith, Matt Abeysekera, Matt Rennick (w), Tom Robertson

This season was a continuation of our rebuilding phase with the team only losing three games. A number of new players came to the club and provided useful contributions throughout the season. Players such as Sam Millar, Matthew Knott, Alton Van Straalen and Luke Duggan provided positive input to the team not only as players, but also with their personalities which made them a perfect fit for the C & S squad.

We also had stronger commitment from some key personnel such as Nathan Reay and Damien Langley who were rewarded for their commitment to both C & S and tour (social) games by putting in strong performances at the SCG game v the XXIX Club which they will remember forever.

Regan Smith again performed admirably with the bat scoring 512 runs in the C & S competition, totalling over 800 runs for the Club in all games - a great overall performance.

There were solid contributions from Paul Nash, Sam Millar and Tom Robertson who all scored over 200 runs for the season. I'm sure they will look at increasing that next season. While down on his

3 previous seasons’ aggregates, the Captain Ian Allmey also contributed over 250 runs even with three ducks!

Our bowling was very strong with our ‘usual suspects’, Ed Smith, Greg Brooks and David Byrnes, all contributing with a creditable bag of . Damien Langley and Nathan Reay provided genuine speed to our attack and were a pleasure to watch. For those who were not lucky enough to see them at the SCG, let me tell you they generated serious pace, and left nothing in the tank.

In the Jack Pace competition, the team put together a number of strong performances, We were rewarded with yet another Grand Final against Knox Old Boys. We unfortunately did not bat well on the day; however there was no denying that Knox put in a clinical performance and deserved the win. A credit to our team who never gave up.

We look forward to next season; hopefully uncover more new talent and continue to build on the strengthening squad of players we currently have.

Ian Allmey C&S Captain

Masters: Played: 9; Won: 2; Lost: 7 ; Cancelled: 2 (rain).

“Well Sydney, Here It Is!!” (quoting Paul Roos)

After waiting a decade we finally won the Classics competition; through a combination of a solid top order , good fielding for guys with wonky knees, excellent catching, brilliant keeping and a versatile bowling attack that bowled the opposition out in each of our 9 games played.

Considering many of the other teams played 10 games, it made our win even more meritorious. We lost Jay Patel (Grade duty), Joff Johnson (injury) for most of the season, Frank Crowe (injury) half the season and Peter Rolls and Garry Winney were recovering from shoulder injuries. The main teams threatening us winning the competition, all managed to lose an early game which kept us on top of the ladder. Then we beat them one by one. We had to win two of our last three games to win the competition. Mosman were one of the teams and they are always a strong team. We knocked up 7- 197 with all bats doing well. Mosman came at us hard and it got to 9-194 with both bats set and one ball to play – a fitting finish. Paul Georgiadis’ delivery was hit and going to the boundary but was intercepted before reaching. We got a run out as the batsmen kept on running. Whew, a gallant victory (worthy of a grand final).

We then beat Parramatta to claim the title. Our final game, against last year’s premiers Georges River, was disappointing in that they stopped our unbeaten record. They were the better team on the day.

To pick a player out from a group of outstanding efforts would be unfair. Sittampalam Ragavan (or Raga) had a fantastic batting season averaging about 240 coming into the last game and gave away his last man out trying to win us the game. Still he averaged 137.00 – ‘Bradmanesque’ - strong driving, cutting and excellent temperament as an opener. Mick McCormick, John Mesar and Peter Rolls all had productive seasons averaging around 30. This left the middle and lower order to scrounge as many runs as we could in the latter overs. It took us nearly all season to find a replacement for Joff. We finally got one in Bandula Wijesinghe ( a friend of Raga’s) who filled in for a game (got his 30* retired). He batted so compactly, excellent timing, variety of shots that we had to

5 ask him back. He again got 30* retired. Decided he liked this format of cricket and the fun time we had so much, he joined the Club.

Our bowling was all the clichés – line, length, variety. Each bowler did their job: - John Mesar 19 wickets, Mick McCormick 16 wickets, Raga 15 wickets, Paul Georgiadis 9 wickets. All had economy rates less than 4.00 per over. All the other bowlers played good supporting roles. We only dropped a handful of catches for the season and were able to put the opposition under pressure for longer periods of a game.

Peter Hall had another brilliant season saving many leg side deliveries bound for the boundary. His work behind the stumps is always very slick and he makes few errors.

It was a season to savour. Premierships are few & far between. The competition is getting stronger each year as more fifty year old players qualify. Each of our players can stand proud to have achieved this win. As a player for C.C.N.S.W. since 1990, this was the highlight of my senior cricketing years. It was pleasing that Keith Elloy and Jay Patel, both long-serving Classics players, were there playing at the end.

Well played guys. Bring on 2016- 2017.

Garry Winney Classics Captain

Other games: Played: 11; Won: 5; Lost: 6; Drawn: 0; Cancelled: 5 (4 because of rain)

58 people played for the Club in 11 social games this season compared with 88 last season in 14 games. Four members played 5 or more social games, compared with none such last year and a large number of members played four games. Of the 58 players used, 46 were paid up financial members with only 12 guest players - a very significant reduction in the number of guest players compared with 44 guest players the previous season. Five games were won compared with 7 last season and six lost compared with 7 last season. Rain caused the cancellation of 4 games compared with only 2 the previous season.

Back Row: Ian Wright (scorer), Nathan Reay, Mike Weaver, Paul Nash, Regan Smith, David Byrnes, Ian Allmey, Peter Rolls

Front Row: Bill Blair, Peter Hall (w), Ed Smith (c), Damien Langley, Mike Pinter

Social games seemed significantly more popular with members this season with a substantial reduction in the use of guests to fill in. Match managers had few problems in raising sides and members were prepared to play more games. Ironically the only game where we struggled to get members to play was our prestige game at Allan Border Field v the QCC in Brisbane.

The season started with an easy win by a strong side v the Craigmoor Portwiners in our annual pilgrimage to Mudgee during the wine festival in September followed by an evenly contested game in Sydney and a win v the Primary Club in early October with Andrew Dadswell in one of his all too rare appearances starring with bat and ball.. We were then decisively beaten in only 19 overs by a strong SCG XI. There then followed an excellent high scoring game- albeit a loss v Old Oxleyans where for once we had a members only side (compared with 10 guest players last season!). After Christmas we had another high quality and high scoring loss v Jim Morrison’s overseas touring Occidentals on a highly ambitious tour of Eastern Australia and New Zealand; the game also served as a de facto reunion of our successful North America Tour party. Possibly favourites to win, we lost our last 3 wickets in 4 balls. Another close game followed v Sydney Boys High where once again we managed to lose a close game although on paper having a strong side. Then following last year’s example, we had another short mini-tour to New Zealand over the Australia Day weekend, this time to Queenstown, where we were privileged to play on the international ground and win easily. The other game v Millbrook we managed to lose, despite being in a strong position. Playing 12-a-side there was some confusion as to whether the game was over with only 10 wickets down- it was!

We were then highly privileged to be permitted by Cricket NSW to play at the SCG v the XXIX Club from Melbourne. We had no problems in raising a side but despite excellent bowling by Bill Blair were always coming second. Then we travelled to Brisbane for a surprising win v a QCC side sporting several former Shield players. Our guest players starred and Regan Smith who had travelled overnight by train from Sydney contributed a superb and match winning v impressive bowling. 7

Back Row: Peter Sherman, John Fish, Mick Weaver, Graham Buck, Tom Robertson, Craig McKenzie.

Front Row: Anthony Malouf, Mitch Sturt, Peter Rolls (c), Regan Smith, John Mesar, Mike Pinter.

Our proposed fixture v Victoria Barracks was three times cancelled by rain and the season ended in April with a satisfying win v I Zingari (Australia) at their historic Camden ground which partly made up for our ten wicket loss the previous season.

TOUR PARTY OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE

Back Row: - Bruce Coppock, John Fish, William Stonehouse, Tom Robertson, Rob Bevilacqua, Bruce Pendlebury, Alison Pendlebury (Scorer), Brian Gream.

Front row: - Scott McCallum, Ken Yardy (Tour Manager), Lachlan Stonehouse, Steve Kish, John Wise, Matthew McCallum, James Morrison.

In July 2015 C.C.N.S.W. embarked on, a tour of East coast North America, not traditionally known for cricket, .a challenging tour with 14 games against at times much younger opposition. The hospitality show to C.C.N.S.W. was outstanding.

We commenced the tour in Canada at the prestigious Toronto Cricket, Skating and Curling Club followed by games against Inverhaugh, Brampton Masters and Niagara cricket clubs.

The Inverhaugh game would become known as the “Tied Test” with the scores tied when C.C.N.S.W. lost its last wicket to a great one handed catch.

After the Canadian leg of the tour we ventured to the ‘Big Apple’ New York for games against Everest Masters, Staten Island and Mad Dogs cricket clubs, played in some cases on combined cricket and fields. The pitch were sometimes matting placed over dirt that had been rolled as flat as possible with the odd weed popping up to give the bowlers that little extra assistance.

We said goodbye to New York for the train trip to Philadelphia for two games against the British Officers and one against the exclusive Merion Cricket Club

9 Merion C.C. founded in 1865, is a club that has a long and illustrious history. They have hosted the Davis Cup as well as a number of international teams including Australia, England, West Indies to name a few who have played matches at the club. C.C.N.S.W. now became part of the list of international teams who have played against Merion.

Merion was celebrating its 150th year. The match was widely promoted and won by C.C.N.S.W. by one run with a formal dinner to celebrate the 150th year and our visit.

We then travelled to Washington for two games against the Washington Cricket League against the back drop of the Washington Monument .

The final leg of the tour was in Florida at Fort Lauderdale for two matches against the Florida Southeast All Stars at the only ICC Accredited stadium in the USA at Central Broward Regional Park.

C.C.N.S.W. was defeated in a closely fought match in game under lights in very hot and humid conditions but bounced back in Game 2 with a solid win against an opposition that boasted a Pakistan Under 19 player, the USA Cricket Coach and other young promising cricketers.

Special thanks to Ken Yardy and Steve Kish who put together and managed an enjoyable tour brilliantly despite logistical difficulties. Their efforts were appreciated by all.

Queenstown Tour 2016.

Won 1; Lost 1

C.C.N.S.W. Australia Day tour was the second in the sequence after Wellington in 2015. Two matches- one a picturesque Millbrook Ground saw the locals get 198 off their 40 overs. The two Eds (Smith and Robertson) getting 3-34 and 2-14 with great support by Brooks 2-22 of 7 overs keeping the locals to a reasonable total on a smallish ground. C.C.N.S.W. started slowly and losing wickets- but Scott Wells 24, Tom Robertson 30* ret. took us to a strong position. But Brooks’ 26 and Ed Smith’s 20* and late hitting by Rodger Robertson saw us lose our 10th wicket at 190. The captains had agreed to bat 12 which in any language means 11 wickets but in NZ when the visitors are chasing it apparently does not.

The next day we played at the main Queenstown ground- scene of an International match in recent years. The adjacent airport and the “Remarkables”, the mountains behind the ground, created a great atmosphere. A cloudy day with strong breeze provided good bowling conditions. The locals were rolled for 59 - Early wickets to Ed Smith 3-15 Nathan Reay 2-17 and teenagers Ed Robertson 2-17 and brother Ian 3-6 preventing any recovery by the tail. In failing light and light rain the local quicks fired in- at 2-12 it could have gone either way - but hitting by Rob Stevenson 28* and patience by Ed Smith 12* saw us home before the rain set in. Our first win on these tours.

Next year in Nelson the tradition continues for our splendid short Australia day tour of New Zealand. A great short and memorable tour opportunity.
