Some of my great memories of my cricket career was playing Grade Cricket and I’ve been fortunate to play with a number of great players across my time in Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.
I’m a proud member of the Gold Coast Dolphins foundation team that entered the Brisbane Grade competition in 1990/91 and played with the Dolphins until 1997/98.
On moving to Victoria I played for Frankston Peninsula Cricket Club from 1998/99 to 2003/04 and then in Sydney I played with Randwick Petersham from 2004/05 until retirement in 2006.
My best Grade team is based on performances and influence on the team when I played with these players at club level rather than when they played at higher levels.

1. Usman Khawaja - Randwick Petersham
2. Simon Katich (Captain) - Randwick Petersham
