Off the short run- facts you didn’t know

When did you start playing cricket?

I joined the Dingley Cricket Club for the 1996-97 as an under-14 player. Previously I had played tennis, but got hooked on the game. I’ve spent the majority of my career at Dingley, but spent a season playing in the Cricket Shepparton competition with Kialla when I lived in regional Victoria.
Who is the best player you have played with and why?

I’ve been fortunate enough to play with some exceptional cricketers at different points in their careers. Former St Kilda player Troy Schwarze was an outstanding cricketer as a junior, as was Travis Sawers, while I have also played with current Bushrangers Jon Holland and Alex Keath. Needless to say, both were just juniors at the time and have gone on to bigger and better things. Former club champion Luke McNamara was an outstanding ball striker for the Dingoes, and I’m sure the club would love to have him back, while Darren Fitch has set the benchmark for all Dingley players to aspire to over the past two decades.
Greatest accomplishment to date?

Individually it would have to be my Club Championship win from a few years back, but from a team perspective, I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy premiership success in the juniors and lower grades. To date, a first XI premiership has eluded me; I missed the club’s last flag in 2005-06 when I was in Shepparton, so that’s still on the bucket list.
Cricket aspirations for 2011-12 and beyond

A first XI premiership goes without saying, but further to that, I would like the Dingley Cricket Club to aspire to be the best it can be. Dingley prides itself on being a community club, with a friendly and welcoming approach to all players, and with the talent and depth at our disposal, I’m sure we can achieve this goal.
