A maiden first grade century to Tym Crawford and the 8th first grade and 13th overall grade century to James Packman were not enough to avoid a draw in first grade while seconds continued their wobble at the end of the season to lose convincingly at Pratten Park.

From there on it was much better news with 3rds, 4ths, 5ths and Colts all posting wins giving us 54 club championship points.

Tym Crawford acknowledges his century

The wins in 3rd and 5ths were particularly important with 3rds still in fifth spot but only 4 from the lead with one game to go and 5ths now moving into 3rd position and hopefully a home game for the semis.

The stars of the day were definitely James Packman with 129 and Tym Crawford with 102 not out in first grade, Darren Jayasekera with 84 and Mitch Kleem with 66 in fourths, while Dan Smith played a lone stand with 63 in the losing second grade team. Tom Beverley with 65 and Tom Carruthers with 51 not out were able to get the fifths home with ease and in the bowling there was only one bowler with four wickets and that was the evergreen Anthony Sherman with 4 for 29 in fifths.

1st Grade

When faced with 120 overs of cricket on the second day of a two day game with no play on the first there is always a good chance of a draw if the second team can’t be bowled out. Irrespective of the wicket, one can argue that it is best to bowl first and know your target, but a well prepared batting wicket was too much of a temptation for skipper Harry Evans to take first use in the match against Wests at Chatswood Oval.

He was confident of scoring runs, setting a good target and having Wests lose wickets while chasing the score.  

Some classic shots from Tym during his 102 not out

The theory wasn’t working early as we were quickly 3 for 40, but an excellent fifth wicket partnership of 172 between James Packman and Tym Crawford enabled the team to post a daunting total of 330 for 6 off 65 overs. This left Wests 55 overs to score the runs needed for victory at the difficult rate of a run a ball. In Harry’s mind however was the fact that the Wests opener John DiBartolo was the second highest run scorer this season in the SCA with three centuries and he is renowned for his fast scoring. A run a ball at Chatswood is definitely achievable. 

A master class from the veteran. Will it bring him back next year?

The batting of James and Tym was first class against a good attack which included Danny McLaughlan and enabled James to post his 8th first grade century. After a shaky start James settled into his stride and completely dominated the attack scoring at will on the fast Chatswood Oval with a classic innings of 17 fours and one six. At the other end Tym Crawford was again showing the development he is making as a first grade cricketer and was able to collect his century off 108 balls just as the skipper declared to have a bowl at Wests.

It was great for Tym to bat with James as he was able to watch a master class of driving given by a club legend nearing the end of his career. I am sure this helped Tym develop his innings and some of his drives and pull shots off one of Sydney best fast bowlers were sensational. 

James Kennedy, Josh Poysden and Scott Heaney in action against Wests

The Wests innings started very well for Gordon with James Kennedy and Scott Heaney bowling with great pace and line to have Wests 3 for 23 after 10 overs and basically put Wests out of the picture for a run chase.

This is where the 120 over theory of bowling first comes into play as the bowlers trying as hard as they could were not able to get more than 6 Wests wickets as they completely shut up shop and finished on 6 for 131 off 55 overs.

Wests will of course argue that 330 off 55 overs was a bridge too far from the start but with the close railway boundary a fast start they may have got the momentum they needed. James Kennedy finished with 2 wickets while the other bowlers were only able to collect one each.

Disappointing to dominate a match and not get any points after only 6 overs were able to be bowled in all of first grade last week to make the 120 over rule apply.

1st Grade Scores

Gordon 6 for 330 (James Packman 129, Tym Crawford 102 not out, Iain Beverley 24) drew with Wests 6 for 131 (James Kennedy 2 for 26, Chad Soper 1 for 18, Scott Heaney 1 for 30, Josh Poysden 1 for 32, Reece Bombas 1 for 2)

2nd Grade

Anand Verma who took 3 wickets against Wests at Pratten

Western Suburbs batted first at Pratten Park and got off to a good start before Jack Skilbeck took two wickets. Dan Smith took another and Gordon had got right back into the game at 3 for 55. A good partnership of 73 built the Wests innings once again and a couple more good contributions saw the score moving into a most respectable area. Anand Verma bowled well to take three wickets and the Stags were set 214 to win in 54 overs.

Unfortunately, in contrast to earlier on, the Gordon innings began disastrously. A hat-trick was followed by three more wickets and Gordon were reeling at 6 for 33! Dan Smith and Anand Verma did their best to resurrect the situation but it was too hard a task. Dan’s excellent 63 off 80 balls was in vain as the innings finished at 150 (James Campbell would be irate if his 23* wasn’t mentioned). So, a very disappointing performance and the side needs to regroup as they move towards the semis.

Jack Skilbeck puts in everything at Pratten

So seconds lost after bowling first and needing 214 off 54 overs. There goes my theory of batting last in 120 over games. I will stick to reporting!!

2nd Grade scores

Western Suburbs 7-213 (Anand Verma 3-64, Jack Skilbeck 2-46) defeated Gordon 150 (Dan Smith 63, Anand Verma 25, James Campbell 23*).

3rd Grade

Wests won the toss at Killara and decided to bat on a good looking wicket, albeit surrounded by an excessively thick outfield.

Adam Cubbage whose arrival in the attack changed the game to our favour.

Due to all games being washed out in 3rd grade last week, this was a crucial one-day game for the hosts in a jam-packed top end of the table. Gordon raced out of the blocks thanks to some outstanding bowling from Dan Stickland and Blaize Irving-Holliday and Wests were in dire straights at 4 for 12, including the loss of Australian under 19 squad member, Glendenning, who is recovering from injury. A very good partnership ensued and it wasn't until Adam Cubbage came on that the game swung back to the home sides favour. He bowled his 10 overs straight, claiming 2 for 31 including 4 maidens. It was a delight to see his return to form after some tough weeks previously. The captain of all people knows how hard it is for a leg spinner to bowl a maiden, but to bowl 4 of them in a one-day game was a true delight.

Wests continued on in relatively aggressive manner and with one batsman batting out of his skin to make a very good 83, Wests posted a terrific score of 163 - which may well have been more had Blaize and Adam Fleming not claimed 3 for 0 between them in the final overs.  

Adam Fleming, Blaize Irving-Holiday and Dan Stickland took the load well without Adair Durie

Liam McElduff and Chris Spratt opened up in typically reliable fashion and both took the game forward in an aggressive manner. At 0 for 46, the base had been set for a great win but with the loss of Chris for 23, Axel Cahlin looked the goods and with Liam took the score to 76.

Liam "Michael Cant" McElduff at Killara got the innings started

A mini collapse of 4 for 25 saw the loss of Liam, Axel, Max Papworth and Ian Higgins with some lazy batting and the game was evenly poised at 5 for 100. Reagan Klemt was next to go with the score on 116, but that was the end of the rot for Gordon as Adam Cubbage and Tjaard Tait took the game away from Wests with some controlled hitting and excellent running between the wickets. Time and time again Tjaard and Adam have won games down the order and this season, between them, they have been at the crease 8 times when the score has been passed.

This was a most important win for the third graders as they now sit in 5th, 4 points from 1st and 4 points from 7th. Next week is another must-win game in what is an absolutely wide-open competition. Third grade find themselves in the position of potentially being minor premiers or out of the finals all together depending on the results next weekend!

PS. Taity and Cubby. I heard the score at 6 for 122 and immediately drove from Chatswood to Killara to take shots of your impending victory. I arrived as you were being clapped off. I could use one of many archive shots of the two of you batting, but you would know the difference.

3rd Grade scores

Wests 163 (Blaize Irving-Holiday 3 for 33, Dan Stickland 2 for 28, Adam Fleming 2 for 22, Adam Cubbage 2 for 32) were defeated by Gordon 6 for 164 (Tjaard Tait 52 not out, Liam McElduff 29, Chris Spratt 23)

4th Grade

Fourth grade arrived at the picturesque Blick Oval to find a good pitch and fast outfield. A lost toss meant bowling first and while the quicks were able to keep the runs down, Wests were soon 0 for 54 off 20 overs.

Alex Wright took three wickets at Blick Oval

The arrival of the two spinners in tandem Iqbal Ahmed and Alex Wright picked up two wickets immediately, but Wests recovered to be 3 for 109 at lunch off 41 overs. With wickets in hand Wests picked up the pace after lunch and finished their innings right on the 60 over mark at 7 for 226. Alex Wright was the pick of the bowlers finishing with 3 for 43.

The Gordon innings started in classic Mitch form with the veteran hitting the ball to all quarters. With the loss of Nick Coleman for 9 and the score at 42, Shayne Lin joined Mitch to keep the momentum going. After losing his partner for 26, Mitch continued batting well and with the score on 121 after 26 overs Mitch was out for 66.

Andrew Crosland was then joined by Darren Jakasekera and they had an excellent partnership to take the game away from Wests. Darren and Andrew both batted well with Darren particularly showing great form and displaying is well known talents. In the end Darren finished with 84 not out when we passed their score after 45 overs. Another excellent win to the fourths who are finishing their season with a wet sail. Pity they can’t get to the finals.

So 4ths won batting second in a 120 over game. I told you this was the right theory!!

4th Grade scores

Wests 7 for 226 (Alex Wright 3 for 43, Pat Effeney 1 for 44, Iqbal Ahmed 1 for 40, Deva 1 for 33) were defeated by Gordon 4 for 228 (Darren Jayasekera 84, Mitch Kleem 66, Shayne Lin 26)

5th Grade

Gordon bowled first on a Beauchamp deck that was always going to give the bowlers a bit of help, following the rain during the week. The opening bowlers struggled a little with their direction and the first wicket didn’t fall until Anthony Sherman struck with the score on 39. 

The two Toms, Beverley and Carruthers were in great form at Beauchamp

Another reasonable partnership followed before Lachie Borg struck twice. Pic then took another three quickly and the innings was in tatters at 6-73. The ball beat the bat consistently and Charlie Stobo, making a cautious reappearance at the bowling crease, was almost unplayable. He finally struck and with Lachie, whose bowling continues to improve at the right end of the season, they polished off the Wests innings for 136. Michael Falk and I joked at what the No. 8 fifth grade batsman for Wests would have thought when Charlie came on to bowl at about the captain's 7th choice bowler! Who is this guy?

A return to the bowling crease for Charlie Stobo while Anthony Sherman bowled one of his better spells to take 4 wickets

A tricky smallish total to chase proved no problem for the Stags. Tom Beverley and Tom Carruthers started positively, choosing the right ball to hit, and they moved comfortably to 0-67 at the first drinks break. At this stage the bonus point win was on and they upped the scoring rate to take it to 136 before Tom B was dismissed for an excellent 65. The winning run was then struck with Tom C remaining 51*. An excellent win, with the bonus point and a thrilling encounter with the competition leaders, Penrith, next week.

5th Grade scores

Gordon 1-137 (Tom Beverley 65, Tom Carruthers 51*) defeated Western Suburbs 136 (Anthony Sherman 4-29, Lachie Borg 4-30, Charlie Stobo 2-10).

Colts

Randwick-Petersham batted first and were the beneficiaries of some wayward early bowling and some less than impressive catching (or not catching as it proved to be). Numerous catches were shelled, mostly off the bowling of Richard Armour, and the score rose with wickets falling periodically. Matt Keane, Daniel Chamberlain and Adrian Craig all bowled well and the innings ended at 129. A good result for the Stags but it could have been much better with better fielding. 

Andrew Coleman is too quick for this Randy Pete batsman and is out stumped. No DRS needed

The wicket was still playing a few tricks and the total proved a bit of a challenge. James Robertson and Adrian Craig batted well before a minor collapse in the middle meant that skipper Andrew Coleman had to round the day off with an unbeaten 26*. 

Adrian Craig, James Robertson and Andrew Coleman in action during the run chase

So, another win for the Colts, already Minor Premiers in the Metropolitan Cup.

The club wishes to thank George Read for his excellent contribution during the season. George is returning to the UK and won’t be able to play in the final series. George wrote an excellent email to the club thanking everyone for their support during the season, in particular the efforts of first grade players to always help the lower grade players. With extra players at various times during the year, George was always willing to be rotated and his attitude toward playing for Gordon was exceptional and we hope he can return to don the maroon cap again in the future. Thanks George, come back anytime…  

George Read is chaired off before his return to the UK

Colts scores

Gordon 5-131 (James Robertson 34, Andrew Coleman 26*, Adrian Craig 25, Stuart Bromley 16*) defeated Randwick-Petersham 129 (Matt Keane 3-13, Daniel Chamberlain 3-27, Adrian Craig 2-25, George Read 1-13).

The Wrapmaster

Ps. Thanks again for some excellent photos from Tony Wilson as usual and from our new recruit John Craig who took the great shots at Colts

We lost the toss and were sent into bat on a damp, seaming wicket under overcast skies – suffice to say condition were good for bowling! Alex Cahlin, a player who will go onto big things in the game, led the way making 20 on a bowler-friendly wicket. Adam Fleming (20) and Alex Wright (26) also batted well to take us to 7-110 when play was abandoned mid-afternoon due to bad light.

Mark 'Atko' Atkinson applauds his bowler as Max Papworth keeps wicket under his watchful eye 

The tail had a small wag first thing in the morning to take us to a total of 129. This would have been a very competitive score if the Day 1 conditions prevailed, however they did not. 

Both the pitch and the weather conditions had improved significantly on Day 2.

Grade veteran and wine expert Adair Durie once again led the way bowling brilliantly to capture 4-29 from 11 overs, which put as right in the hunt for 1st innings points as ND’s stumbled to 5-62. 

The last 'action' photo of Adair before he announced his retirement 

Adam, Blaize and others supported Adair’s efforts with the ball however the Northern District batsmen were too good and capitalized with an excellent partnership on a good batting to reach our total 5 down.

The following players are unavailable for this round: A large number!

The 2nd Graders found themselves with a number of changes in their side due to injuries, work and leisure. We welcomed Taity, Spratty, ‘Reg’ Livermore, ‘McElpuff’ McElduff, and our overseas import ‘JP’ Poysden. 

Brett Rosen looks to hit out in the run chase 

When all was said and done, it was telling that our main highlight for the two weeks was being rained off and going to the Merrenburn Lakes to partake in some golf, darts and poker. 

Come Day 2, with a monster 120 overs, to play the mood was relaxed, maybe a little too relaxed. Bretty won the toss and elected to bowl again on a very flat looking Chatswood deck. With the expert shining from Reg, the boys knew they would get the ball swinging and so they did. ‘DS’ Smith was particularly lethal, and at times too much so, with the top 3 playing and missing numerous times and by at least 10cm. 

At drinks someone commented that maybe Reg should cease with the shining and maybe Dan will get the edge. In the end we bowled them out in the 58th over for around 250. 

Damon 'Reg' Livermore plays an elegant hook shot 

Very, very, very gettable at Chatswood with the small boundary. In hindsight 250 was probably 50 too many with a number of dropped catches going down. 

It looks like Skilly will have some friends to join him in catching 200 balls on Thursday. 

Our run chase was set up by Reg and ‘McEldrive’ after losing Spratty early. The pair consolidated however found scoring tough. ‘McElfifty’ went on to bring up his half century in his maiden 2nd Grade game. However, the wickets kept falling and we were left with the tail to salvage a draw. 

With 1.5 overs to go and everyone around the bat the last two succumb to the pressure and we lost. It must be noted that Taity did hit the best on-drive the NDs keeper had ever seen but then thought he was better than he is and chopped on 2 balls later. 

Liam McElduff has a successful 2nd Grade debut 

It was a hard defeat but maybe a defeat we needed as NDs played hard cricket unlike we had seen in the previous weeks. We now know what is required for finals cricket. 

Cam Eccles

The keen nature of the Rangers captain and his quality work on the super-soaker meant that play would only be briefly delayed and not postponed like the other 21 players thought. Perry’s win of the toss meant the Rangers would field first in their all-important ‘must win game’.

Pat "Paddlepop" Effeney teams up with Stickland to rattle the Rangers 

Mitchell Kleem set the tone for the Gordon innings with a ‘casual’ 18 runs of the first over, which included 2 sixes! The slow and damp pitch made scoring harder for Gordon as the Rangers picked up two quick wickets in succession. Both wickets were unlucky with Mitch (21) being caught down the leg slide and Corbin falling to a great catch in the slips. 

The aggressive Shayne Lin came to the crease and showed Northern Districts the benefits of owning his own gym, muscling multiple drives out of the ground with one hitting the top of the trees on the up. Shayne and Nick Coleman put on an important partnership of 93, with Shayne falling for 59. At the tea break the Stags were 4-151.

After tea the Stags continued their solid batting effort with Captain Perry striking the ball with lots of power, hitting bags of sixes and fours which meant he had to do minimum running. Perry departed on 42 and soon the Stags were 8/252 with James Robertson being caught for 32 and Nick Coleman leaving one to be dismissed for 51. 

The author, Nick Coleman combines with Lin to lay the foundations of the innings 

Ikky was out to impress a particular individual swinging on the swings and he did just that with a strong 21* with strokes all around the ground. I’m sure she will be back at our next home game. 

This also meant that the Stags ended up all out for 274, a strong total on a difficult batting pitch. 

The disappointing call of ‘bad light’ meant that Gordon missed out of bowling 8 vital overs to the young Northern Districts top order on the first day of play. We all displayed our disappointment in the decision as we walked off the field to a hard earned beverage in the sheds.

Lifting off the covers to see a flat and dry pitch on Day 2 meant that the Stags had to bowl excellent lines in order to bowl NDs out. Dan Stickland and Pat Effeney both bowled full and straight, resulting in them picking up a wicket each. These two wickets were both caught by Darren Jayasekera in the slips, which made up for his ‘Danish’ salami efforts. 

Stickland takes 5 wickets, including running through the tail 

The sound of a new Tinder match from the sheds fired James Kidd up as he picked up his pace and got a vital wicket to put the Stags on the front foot with NDs 3/61. 

Our bowlers continued to bowl full and straight against two experienced NDs players who added a 56 run partnership. However the sheer determination of Dan Stickland to impress his grandstand of supporters from the side line made him bowl a brilliant in swinger to clean up the NDs captain just before tea. NDs were anxious walking into the sheds at 4/120.

Thanks to Corbin’s bananas at tea, the Stags were more energised and focused to pick up the next 6 wickets. Stickland impressed his brother and his girlfriend with a fantastic run-out from point, striking down the stumps, he was so thrilled his celebration looked like he just won the Football World Cup! Pat Efferny (2/35) picked up another wicket, leaving NDs 6/178. 

Shayne Lin continues his aggressive approach on a difficult deck 

The NDs tail fell fast, with Stickland picking up another 3 wickets to end up with the figures 5/44 and captain Perry taking the last wicket bowling out NDs for 182.

Micheal Perry was so happy with the boys’ efforts over the two weekends, he sang the team song so loud that he ended up having a super high-pitched lady’s voice for the rest of the afternoon. 

A hilarious moment for the rest of the team.

Nick Coleman

The local derby turned into a "one week, long/short" contest. With us were two proud debutants who eventually got a hat on their heads. Anand Verma was rewarded by the selectors for his form in 2nd Grade. Jack Colley also deserved his promotion to the top grade after some terrific innings in 2s and the continued absence of the skipper.

Anand Verma and Jack Colley are congratulated by Kennedy and Packman on their debuts in 1st Grade 

Our coach joined us for his first away fixture of the season, much to the stand-in captain’s delight. Gordon great James Packman was welcomed back into the premiere side.

The Stags were sent in at the toss. A change of order shook up the teams for "10 touches" in the warm up. Steve Colley and Iain Beverley got the Stags off the line in fairly quick fashion. Both lost their wickets in succession with the score at 2/25.

Bombas and Packman needed to rebuild which they did for the majority of the first session. Packman did the majority of the scoring as Bombas kept the partnership intact. Packers played some vintage strokes mixed with some aggressive shots as he rode his luck through the first session. The highlight was his on drive past Harry Conway who didn't stand a chance of picking up the tracer bullet like drive. 

Players from both teams marvelled the shot as he approached 50 in his return match. Richtor joined Packman at the crease before lunch with a spring in his step. From ball one, Els showed intent and found the middle of the bat against the ND spinners. After the lengthy first session we found ourselves 3/130 odd after 35 overs. 

Packman's return to 1st Grade included a half century to restore the innings from an early 2/25

Lunch was served, including in my opinion the best chicken burgers in the grade competition. Our high hopes to bat towards a declaration took a blow first ball after lunch. Packers dismissed for a well-earned 52. Crawford found it tough to get going in his usual up beat rhythm. However Els ticked the score board along. 

It was a pleasure to witness Jack Colley face his first ball as a 19 year old and stoke a magnificent cover drive for three. No doubt a sign of what's to come for this young man with a huge head on his shoulders! Losing Crawford and Colley in succession sparked a collapse with Soper unlucky to be given out first ball. 

The always prepared Kennedy was surprisingly on time to the crease to face a hat-trick ball which he kept out in true pincer pride. JK was unable to continue his fine form at Waitara Oval. Richtor witnessed the entire middle order collapse from the other end and somehow managed to get himself past 50. A great innings by Els who finished with 58 and it was awesome to see him attack the ND bowlers with intent. 

Another cameo by Scott Heaney supported by ‘AV’ Verma got our total to 196.

196 was obviously under par on the Waitara wicket, however the bowling group prepared well in the 10 minute break and the stags came out with good intent. JK stuck early, taking the big wicket of Hughes with a terrific catch by Richtor at second slip. 

Richtor in action with the willow, rather than at second slip. 

Once again Els adds to his highlight reel of spectacular grabs. Not quite as good as Blacktown this season or parramatta last season, however it was up there in the top 10. 

The quicks rotated in the lead up to tea, however it was the debutant Verma that was next to strike. What another wonderful experience for Anand, grabbing his first wicket in the top side with a ball that turned past the outside edge clipping to top of off stump. Verma stuck again before tea leaving the score at 3/56 at the interval.

The boys believed we were a genuine chance and it's great to have the support of your team knowing that the task in front of us was huge. 

Soper toiled away without any breakthrough 

The ND skipper Whealing was patient with the Stag attack. It was great to see Heaney, Soper and JK bowl for long periods. The wicket didn't offer much and it proved difficult to remove the Rangers line up in the afternoon. The highlight being Anand on debut, who finished with outstanding figure of 4/53. Congratulations big man.

Back to training this week boys and let's get ready to upset Wests and Penrith for their finals preparations.

Many thanks to Mr Bev for his managerial roles. It does not go unnoticed and I'm sure all the boys greatly appreciate your services throughout the season. Special mention to Gilly Packman who witnessed her son James face one ball.

On that note thanks to all the mums, dads and supporters who showed up to back the Stags, whichever grade their sons and mates play.

Iain Beverley
