St.George retain O’Sullivan/O’Keeffe trophy

For the second time, on February 14 at Uni 1 SUCC and St George CC did battle for the O’Sullivan/ O’Keeffe Trophy. Significantly, this was the first occasion on which the trophy has been awarded on the result of the 1st Grade game, with the inaugural encounter a PGs match last year in a season when the two Clubs did not meet in the grade competition. St George deservedly retained the trophy with a hard fought win over SUCC. The game was played in a fine spirit between the two Clubs which have dominated the 1st Grade competition for more than a decade. The players were conscious and respectful of the men be- hind the trophy, and greatly appreciated Kerry O’Keeffe dashing from a work commitment to present the trophy af- ter the close of play. He accompanied the presentation with some stories about Micko, which not only informed but also amused. Off the field, around 40 supporters from the two Clubs enjoyed lunch, drinks and the opportunity to watch the game unfold from the Grandstand. All in all, this was another fitting celebra- tion by SUCC and St George of the re- spect and rivalry between the clubs, and particularly the lifelong friendship of Micko and Kerry. We are very grateful for the support St George have provided and, with St George likely to host the 1st Grade clash next season, no doubt all those who have attended the O’Sullivan/O’Keeffe games in the last two years will be keen to continue building this tradition at .

congratulations on an awesome career mate, an inspira- tion to everyone that has played with you and no doubt future generations of SUCC players would do well to reach the dizzying heights that you have during your time at SUCC.

Lastly, thanks to all of the boys who played with me this year. I know that I haven’t been able to mention everyone in the report, but over the last 4 years we have really come a long way in 3s and 4s, and have developed a squad of blokes and a winning culture which means that we expect to be playing finals cricket every year. I have immensely enjoyed watching the development of a bunch of talented youngsters who will no doubt be future leaders Suda Sivapalan plays a typically deft shot of our club. 3rd grade really has been among the on-field

Twice we were comprehensively beaten – Gordon 257 vs Uni 111 in Round 9 and certainly most disappointingly Manly 289 vs Uni 125 in the semi-final. In both of these games we had our chances with the ball, but by not taking these we probably gave ourselves too much to do with the bat. The semi-final showed most of all that runs on the board wins finals cricket, and no matter how flat a pitch is, after fielding for 120 overs it is nigh impossible to chase down a big total without a phenomenal batting display.

The rare This is probably the wrong medium to publish a pictorial Henry Clark finds the target representation of the level of rare found in 3s, but suffice to say we were strongly placed and had a few members and off-field leaders of SUCC, whether it is at training, who could count themselves among the rarest in the club. after the game at the Nags, Uni Army support, putting on In no particular order, Jim Ryan, Ryan Kurtz, Udi Gaur, covers midweek, or just pitching in to help out in the can- Charlie Cull, Jack Holloway and Dugald Holloway could teen and support the club, the 3rd grade boys are always all hold their heads high after another aggressively rare well represented and this is great to see.

It also would be game of the season. remiss not to include your scribe in the mix, however I will leave that up to others to judge…

I would like to thank the other captains for their sage ad- vice and support throughout the year. To Gaz, thanks for your tireless efforts and congratulations on another great Ash Cowan year at the helm (2nd grade premiers, 2nd in Club Champs Captain and winner of the Spirit of Cricket is not too shabby), Dale for all of his great work be- hind the scenes including a lot of punishing and often Celebrating another wicket thankless tasks. To the groundsmen, our facilities are top notch and your hard work is often taken for granted, but it was really driven home this year how good we have it at Uni in comparison to when we played some home games away from Uni.

To TK – well done mate, another year and another premiership, winners are grinners, superb work from you leading one of the greatest 2nd grade sides in history. Also to the Big Ship,

The skills and dedication shown by many of our players really demonstrates the con- tinuing bright future in store for Syd- ney University cricket. Hard work, commitment and person- al development were evident in our team as many of our players were selected to play in higher grades throughout the season. As proven on several occasions, we certainly knew how to step up to the challenge and win in high-pressure games facing top of the league clubs, but we simply lacked the overall discipline and experience to keep the wins coming. Never- Mike Harris theless, it was an ad- mirable season result for our team as we worked hard for every win and constantly pushed ourselves to produce better and more consistent per- formances. There were many highlights for me this season, including watching Nick Arnold Liam Whitaker score 125 against Sutherland and a great all-round season performance from Hayden Kerr. I hope they continue to uphold the commitment and values of Sydney University cricket. Our finishing league position does not reflect the effort that was put in, both on the field and behind the scenes. We should be inspired to work even harder during the James Madden winter months to ensure that we are better prepared for the new season, and are able to step up and start becom- ing match-winners on every occasion. The ever-present support of the club, parents and players demonstrates the overall commitment of everyone in- volved. A huge thanks you to Gary, as always, for all of his support and advice throughout the year. I would also like to echo the sentiments of the other captains on the general achievements of the club this year and the great win by the 2nd grade. So, finally I would like to thank everyone in the 5th grade team for their help and support, look forward to seeing you all at pre-season training!

Unfortunately we were beaten in the Grand Final by the minor premiers, Penrith, but I was proud to be part of a side that placed commitment to the team cause above all else, and the way everyone gave of their best throughout the season. It was a young side, but one that showed great promise and I’m sure several players will be playing higher grade cricket in seasons to come. I would like to thank the club and Gary for giving me this op- portunity to captain the side, and Dale for all his hard work throughout the season. I would also like to thank all the par- ents who supported us throughout the season. Finally, a big thank you to all the regular players for their commitment and for creating such a great environment around the team. Lachlan Carfax Harris de Kretser Captain

After two games were abandoned due to rain the boys missed Ryan Danne out on a finals berth by just two compe- tition points.

Our first game was an early and dominant win over Mosman and was exactly the start we wanted. Winning the toss and batting we managed a respectable total of 233, however we couldn’t help but feel that with more application at the crease we could have scored closer to 260/270.

Sydney Uni Vets Games Scheduled: 21 Won: 5 Tied: 2 Lost: 10 Drawn: 2 Won on Forfeit: 1 Washed Out: 3

The 2014-15 season proved to be a mixed one for Sydney University C&S (more commonly known as Syd- ney Uni Vets). We won only one game up to the Xmas break. After Xmas we put together a few better per- formances, which saw us win two games in January, as well as our last two games in March, with a series of losses, washouts and a forfeit in between.

Nonetheless, C&S (City and Suburban) cricket remains a joy, and as a bunch of mainly older cricket tragics we always enjoyed being on the field. For those who do not know, C&S cricket has been going since 1903, and Sydney Uni Vets is a foundation team. We play 35 over games that start at 1.30pm and finish in one day. It is a great comp for those who love their cricket but can no longer commit a whole day or weekend as well as training on weeknights. All games are on turf, including a number of games this season at St Andrews.

Any fading or former SUCC players looking for regular or occasional cricket are welcome to contact me on [email protected], or give me a call on 0425 266 133. We would love a few more former SUCC greats to join our ranks next season.

Our mixed performance in 2014-15 reflected the loss of some regular players from the previous season. We struggled to fill the side some weeks, and our top order had a different look every week. The shortage of regular players meant that we often made up our numbers with the assistance of younger players from the SUCC squad – thanks to Gary Whittaker and Dale Bryant for arranging for members of the SUCC green shield and metro cup squads to play for us whenever we were short. The young SUCC players inevi- tably added to the strength of our side, as well as being a pleasure to play with.

You do not win many cricket matches unless you put a decent score on the board, and this was our prob- lem for much of the season. Up to Xmas we scored above 120 only once, being 141 against a strong I- Zingari side on the back of a free scoring 71 from Tim Croft. Things improved a little after Xmas, with a number of decent batting performances resulting in wins or narrow losses.

We continued our recent record of playing some of our best cricket against the Cricketers Club. This sea- son we played them 3 times, for one win and two losses. The losses were both close, and we could easily have won all 3 games. The first of those games saw one of our best bowling and fielding performances of the season, dismissing CC for 134 (Moorhouse 4-31; Croft 3-29; Nick Dale 2-14). Unfortunately in reply we struggled against the tidy CC bowling, and were 4-34 at drinks, eventually finishing at 9-110. The next game against CC was an excellent performance. We batted first, and after opener James Eather (17) had started us strongly Stoop (25) was joined by Green Shield batsman Eoin Liehr (43) in a key partnership that set us up for a competitive total. We reached 163 as a result of some innovative shots towards the end from Josh Autridge (24) and Nick Tracey (21*). When we took to the field the opposition opener was dropped in the 1st and 2nd overs, and he proceeded to smash 79 from 53 balls. However, the rest of the CC batsmen struggled against our disciplined bowling, and their innings fell away badly once we got their opener. CC were dismissed for 133. Two wickets for each of Dale, Jesse Kehoe and Elijah Eales, but it really was a good effort by all the bowlers. We also threatened to win the final game of the season against CC, after posting our best score of the season, 6-187, with contributions from all of the top 5: in order Stevens (48), Hunter (17), Stoop (58), Autridge (13) and Croft (47*). [If only we had a few more occasions during the season when all of the top order contributed!!] Unfortunately we dropped the aggressive CC no. 3 batsman at least 3 times before eventually dismissing him for 86, and CC passed our score 7 wickets down in the 34th over.

We managed two wins from two against Beavers, including late in the season after Stevens (3-19), Behren- dorff (2-15) and Ferguson (2-35) had starred with the ball in restricting Beavers to 8-146. In reply, Stevens (21) and Islam got us off to a solid start, before Ed Lewis (26) and Jeremy Goff (16) put on high tempo part- nerships with Islam, ensuring that the required run rate was never a problem. Islam carried his bat through the innings for a very well played 66*, and we comfortably passed the required score 5-149 in the 32nd over.

We also had the measure of Hunters Hill, with two wins from our two games. The first of those wins saw

54 SUCC 150th Annual Report our strongest performance of the season, with Aiden Stoop bowling a memorable spell to finish with 2-19 from 8 overs against the HH top order, only for older brother Elmo to run through the lower order with his leggies and take 4-10. In reply, thanks to our best partnership of the season (Angus Stevens 75*; Phil Lo- gan 21*), we passed the HH total of 102 without losing a wicket.

At the other end of the equation, we suffered some heavy losses, most notably being flogged by Barker OBs to the tune of 5-257 at St Andrews, with many balls having to be retrieved from beyond the small St Andrews boundaries.

Of course, it is not all about winning, and the spirit amongst the team was strong, with seasoned players such as Moorhouse, Stoop, Freeman, Anderson and Logan enjoying the company of newer players to the Vets as well as the many young SUCC lads who played with us this season. We saw a few more games this season from SUCC stalwart Tim Croft, who added to our batting and bowling strength whenever he played. Angus Stevens also contributed with both bat and ball most games he played. Keeper Pieter Mees added greatly to the quality of our fielding and banter whenever he played, as well as introducing us to a few of his Dutch mates for some games (notably his brother, who played a match turning innings of 47 in our final game of the season). New players Alex Hunter, Al ‘Smokey’ Yap and Josh Autridge also made worthwhile contributions, and we look forward to having you back with the Vets next season. Thanks also to Rupert Coy, Ajeet Kumar, Jez Holland, Rob Manning, John LeCouteur and Ben Tyler for turning out oc- casionally – we hope to see more of you next season.

Leading run scorer for the season was Elmo Stoop, with 267 runs at 20.5. Congratulations to Elmo, who again showed at times what a quality player he can be, although he did not score as heavily as he has in past seasons. The fact that Elmo was the only player to score over 200 runs, and our only player to have batted more than 10 times this season, was an indication of how our season went. Tim Croft and Angus Stevens both made notable contributions with the bat, with both averaging about 40 and Angus (75*) nar- rowly pipping Tim (71) for our highest individual score of the season.

With the ball Moorhouse was the leading wicket taker, with 22 wickets at 12.5. Other notable contributions with the ball came from Stoop (10 wickets at 15), Yap (12 wickets at 13.3), Croft (10 wickets at 17.3) and Stevens (7 wickets at 12.4).

As well as the regular C&S fixtures, we also played two T20 matches under lights at Alan Davidson Oval. Although we lost both games, they were very enjoyable, not least because on each occasion the evening finished with beer and sausages with the opposition. It is a treat for park cricketers like us to play under lights, and many thanks to South Rangers for organising these games and for playing them in such good spirit – we’d love a chance to even the score next season.

Finally, a special acknowledgement to club stalwart Greg Aird, who kept the SU Vets alive and kicking over many seasons during the 2000s. Greg was not able to play this season, but is threatening a return!! Either way, thanks Greg for all of your efforts over the years.

A big thanks to all those who turned out on the park for the Vets this year – I am sorry if I have not men- tioned you in the report above; and thanks also to everyone who helped to organise the team this year.

Shaping the future of cricket Sydney Uni cricket performance study knows no boundaries by Jennifer Foreshaw in The Australian Cutting edge technology is being used to raise performance standards of cricket and bring new deliveries to Australia. The University of Sydney is at the forefront of biomechanics for performance in cricket and has worked with First Class and Test players. “The ultimate purpose for all this is to, No.1, make it safer to play, but it is also for elite players—basically increasing the standard of cricket” said biomechanics research program head, Rene Ferdinands. The University has both fast-bowling and spin-bowling studies in which bowlers are tested in the laboratory and have their body segments marked up for capture with a fast motion analysis system. The 3D kinematics can be constructed from 14 cameras, which film the trajectory of the markers while the players are bowling. “There are some novel ways that we configure those markers,” Dr Ferdinands said. “We can., for example, calculate the axis of rotation of the ball and the axis of rotation of the bat and there are a number of me- chanical methods of analysis that we use that are unique to sports biomechanics.” The program has tested bowlers from Cricket NSW and for SUCC as well as an unnamed cricketer playing for Australia. The fast-bowling research program is looking at factors that not only reduce injury, but also contribute to speed. The program which is being undertaken by PhD student Aaron Beach, is also looking at spin deliver- ies not currently used in Australia such as carom balls and balls. “I have got a team that is interested in the idea of developing a commercial tool to assist coaches in terms of improving performance,” said Dr. Ferdinands, who has also worked with players in such as and Daniel Vettori. He said that, while motion-analysis technology was used for establishing bowling legality or to assess whether a bowler was at risk of lumbar injury, it was not used enough by teams and coaches. The research is being presented as part of the Fifth World Congress of Science and Medicine in Cricket, running in conjunction with the World Cup.

OBITUARIES

Harry Francis LENERTZ died on 16th October 2014, aged 93 Harry Lenertz was, at the time of his death, the oldest former SUCC Player. That honour now passes to Kendal Binns. Harry made his debut in 1st Grade with the old Marrickville Club against Cumberland at the SCG in late 1937-38, aged just 16. His entry into 1st Grade contained enough evidence to suggest that he was a prodigy. In his initial 1st Grade game, he took 6-75 with his right arm off spinners; in his second (against Randwick), he scored 69 not out. While still at Lewisham Christian Brothers, he had first played Grade Cricket in 1934-35 with the Petersham Club in 4th Grade, aged only 13. From the time of his emphatic debut until the outbreak of World War II, Harry was a regular in 1st Grade, increasingly for his batting ability, especially after his initial 1st Grade Century (111 not out vs Balmain in 1939-40). Lyall Gardner, Randwick-Petersham’s historian, in an appreciation for Harry Lenertz in February 2014, continues the story: “The onset of World War II disrupted a possible first class representative career with Harry serv- ing two years in the Army and another in the Air Force… Between his service commitments, he sandwiched in the 1943-44 season.” Recalled to 1st Grade for the Final against St George (a one day match on 1 April 1944 at Marrick- ville Oval,) in front of a vast crowd on 8,355, Harry batted at Number 6 when Marrickville was in trouble chasing St George’s 150. By that time, Bill O’Reilly had taken three cheap wickets. A resilient partnership between future Test batsman, Jack Moroney, and Harry, shifted momentum but it needed a heart-stopping 9th wicket stand to see Marrickville home as O’Reilly (6-70) bowled with all his legendary ferocity. This was Marrickville’s only 1st Grade Premiership. At the conclusion of the war, Harry commenced studies at Sydney University and he became 1st Grade Number 354 when he made his debut in 1946-47. His three seasons were difficult years for the Club as rebuilding was needed after the debilitating war years. Harry did hit a century (104) in 1946 but his 859 runs in three seasons were well below his 1914 runs in 1st Grade with Marrickville. Harry’s memories remained sharp to the end. He still regarded his 1st Grade premiership, 70 years ago, as “one of my greatest days in cricket.” The Club’s sympathies are expressed to Mr Lenertz’s family, including his son and four daughters. Post script: Harry’s father, Albert Lenertz, became famous as the original composer of the Aeroplane Jelly jin- gle (“I like Aeroplane Jelly”) when he was General Manager of the Aeroplane Jelly Company.

Brett JOBSON died on 14th December 2014, aged 66 Brett Jobson died from a brain stem tumour on 14th December, aged sixty-six. He came to the University from Gosford High with hopes of studying law. Unable to find a schol- arship to do law he opted for a Prospect County Council scholarship to study Electrical Engineer- ing, and entered Wesley College in 1965. He represented the College in cricket, rugby, boat, shooting and athletics, and played for the University in Cricket and Baseball, gaining a blue in the latter. Brett was big and muscular, but dexterous and speedy, characteristics that seemed to have been to the fore in his whole life. He played cricket for the Club as batsman and wicket keeper. We re-

member his bright cheerful personality, and enthusiasm to be involved in every aspect of life. Brett had a highly successful career in the electrical engineering industry. This ranged from the Prospect County Council through stints for Macdonald Wagner and Priddle in Darwin (where the family house was destroyed by Cyclone Tracy) and Mauritius (and another cyclone). Back in Sydney he became a director of MWP where he was involved in projects including one for the World Bank in Argentina, and then in 1989 moved to Sinclair Knight where he headed up the Ewebank Preece power group. With the formation in 1993 of BRW, the jointly owned entity of Burns and Roe of the USA and Worley of Australia, the team under Brett's leadership founded offices in several states of Australia as well as in Asia, building both on the Worley name and Brett's friendly personal style with was underlain by an astute business awareness. He was highly respected for his encyclopaedic industry knowledge as well as his discerning taste for red wine. In 2003 Brett was forced to retire when an uncontrollable blood pressure problem made work im- possible, and he refocused on his family and an idyllic lifestyle on the western shore of Sydney's Pittwater. We offer our condolences to his devoted wife Jane, who was an Arts student at this University when they met in 1967, and to his son Jason, and two grandchildren.

Books relevant to Sydney University Cricketers 2014-2015

Lucky: The life of H.L. Bert Collins, by Max Bonnell (2015). Max Bonnell has once again explored the life of one of Australia’s more influential cricketers of the early 20th century. has written a comprehensive and positive review of the book on the Cuts and Glances blog in ‘The Australian’. A brief extract from Gideon’s review follows but it’s worth reading the whole piece. Lucky was among many nicknames worn by Herbie Collins…Max Bonnell has chosen it as a title for his excellent monograph, because of the irony of Collins’ reputation for good fortune….’As a batsman I took no risks’, he wrote of himself. ‘I built up a reputation as a solid, reliable opener, always orthodox. They say there’s two sides to everybody’s character. Perhaps my cricket and private lives were two sides to mine. On the racecourse I took risks… I don’t intend to offer advice to anyone. But let me say racing didn’t make me wealthy.’ …Collins was treated cruelly by the game, which he did so much to put back on its feet after World War 1, as captain of the AIF XI. …Bonnell points out that Collins’ 1926 Australians lost only one match – the best record of an Australian touring team in England until The Invincibles. Alas, the defeat at turned over, and Col- lins has suffered the odium ever since of a posthumous allegation by Stork Hendry, credulously repeated, that he fixed the decisive game. Bonnell dismisses it crisply. Read it!

Bowled By A Bullet: The tragic life of Claude Tozer, by Greg Growden (2015). This is the tragic story of a man who had all before him – the only child of a loving and caring family, his father a well -respected bank manager, a privileged education at the elite Shore school, graduation from Sydney University in medi- cine, distinguished war service where he was mentioned in dispatches – to which was added a promising cricket ca- reer. Cricket at school, then Sydney University, the Sydney club, Gordon and saw Tozer on the cusp of selection for Australia and a tour with the Australian team to England in 1921. However, life postwar, the death of his fiancée and the establishment of his medical practice, including a fateful consultation with a patient, the somewhat delusional Mrs Dorothy Mort, saw it all change … James Rodgers

60 SUCC 150th Annual Report Golden Blues Sydney University Cricket: 150 years of the club and its players by Max Bonnell and James Rodgers (Darlington Press 2014). This book, charting the history, players, highs and lows from the first recorded games in 1852 to the present day, is a riveting story of one of the oldest continuously playing Cricket Clubs in Australia. As the years unfold, the players, whose names appear in the archives of the Club’s Annual Report, are given flesh and bone. This is a must have for anyone interested in the development of cricket in Sydney from its formative years. It is dedicated to the memory of Mick O’Sullivan, former 1st Grade bowler, Club Chairman and SUCC Life Member, who commissioned its writing, but unfortunately died on September 3rd, 2013 before it was completed.

FOREWORD by Ed Cowan I still remember my first SUCC training session. The nerves of turning up like a kid at school alleviated only by the presence of my big brother Tom who had just come back from the SUCC tour of the British Isles and loved every second. He promised me that this club felt right and more loving than his previous experience at Waverley. I followed him from Waverley, where I too had been a ‘junior’, be- cause I wanted to play cricket with him, like we had done growing up in the back- yard and in our shared attic bedroom. For a club that was not particularly used to dealing with slightly precocious 15 year olds (there had not been an AW Green Shield team until that year), I immediately felt welcome. I still remember Luke Hartman’s beaming smile as he dragged me away to do some catching practice and the bouncer barrage I got from Adair Durie in fading light. Evidently Ian Fisher had put me in that net knowing what was going to ensue to see if ‘I could play’. God bless you Fish. It seems to be my default story but when asked of my lower grade experience, I re- member James Rodgers giving me an English lesson on the definition of some of the graffiti words on the wall at Fairfield Oval. It summed up how I felt in those younger years—out of my comfort zone but loved and guided. SUCC for much of my teenage and formative cricket years was a family to me. This only heightened when I moved into St Paul’s College and could spend the hours at the club that I wanted to without having to go home. Having now played cricket all around the world, I realise what a special place it is. You can take it for granted when it is all you have experienced. The club has never had any problem attracting great people, but we are now in the blessed situation that those same people are excellent cricketers. On the field, Shane Stanton and Greg Mail have driven club culture and excellence. Off it, the club is reaping the seeds sown by too many good people to name personally. In the club’s sesquicentenary year it is time to reflect on where we have been and where we want to go. Thankfully we ‘own’ two great cricket historians in the form of Rodgers and Bonnell so that this can happen. Personally, I look forward to reading some great stories to enhance my love of a club that has been so good to me for over a decade now and reading no doubt about how I beat Kevin Pietersen in a six-hitting contest...sounds highly fictitious I know. Let’s celebrate our anniversary in style.

Editors Note: EJM Cowan was the inaugural SUCC Green Shield Captain in 1997-98. In a career of 12 years he amassed almost 7,500 runs at 40.63 including 12 centuries in First Grade with a High Score of 253. He also scored almost 7,500 runs in First Class matches representing NSW, Tasmania, and Australia as an opening batsman.

63 SUCC 150th Annual Report Sydney Uni Sports Blues for Cricket

The Sydney University Sports Union was established in 1890 and began to award Blues for cricket in 1894. The criteria have changed over time. Usually Blues have been awarded only to current University students, but Tom Garrett was awarded a Blue in 1894 more than twenty years after attending his last lecture. At one time the sole qualification for a Blue was an appearance in the annual Intervarsity match against Melbourne. In more recent times, Blues have been awarded to enrolled students who have played at least the majority of First Grade matches in a season and have satisfied the Blues Committee that they have performed to a sufficiently high standard.
