Chasing ACT Player Details

Leave a comment

I am doing some further research into former ACT Cricketers. Anyone who is able to assist, please contact me below. I am after full names including middle names, dates of birth, places of birth and if relevant dates of death and places of death. Even if possible batting and bowling styles.

I use the information to generate different types of statistics including various youngest/oldest statistics for ACT representative and grade cricket. Also I use the details for full initials and to make sure spelling of names of players are correct in records and statistics.

 

S McDermott

Opened the batting and bowling for White City in B Grade in 1926/27. Likely to have moved out of the ACT after 1927 as White City was a camp near the current Hotel Canberra.

O Richards

Played for Canberra and Eastlake but left the ACT district after 1926. He was linked with the Eastlake Tennis Club and was possibly the Canberra Railway Station Master. Possibly from Port Augusta, South Australia.

Keith Elgin Carroll

I currently work with a number of clients in terms of providing cricket statistics and records on a weekly basis. My clients include State cricketing organisations, venues and cricket clubs across Australia.

  • Provide statistics on demand as required by the organisation or club’s staff, volunteers, media and selectors.

The cost for an organisation. is dependent on the number of grades for your organisation and the number of matches played during the season. We can negotiate on a mutually agreed number if you are interested.

The cost will be $100 per grade required for the season. This is capped at $700 for those clubs with 7 or more teams active during the season.

Background

I have been a cricket statistician, historian and scorer for the last 30 years.

I am currently the statistician for Cricket ACT (since 1996), Cricket NSW (since 2015), Sydney Cricket Association (since 2000), Sydney Cricket Ground (since 2020), Ginninderra Cricket Club. I also undertake the statistical work for the Australian Country Cricket Championships and other clubs and organisations on request.

As an author I wrote From Country to Comets, 75 Years of ACT Cricket, a 750 page book covering the first 75 years of scorecards. I have produced regular statistical booklets and annual reports. I have also produced the Sydney Cricket Ground New Year Test Booklet for the past three seasons. I have also contributed to Emerging Cricket, CricConnect, CricketArchive and Wisden Australia. I have also had the opportunity to work on the odd occasion with ABC Radio and TV as well as Foxtel’s cricket coverage.

As a scorer I have scored 4 Test Matches (including the inaugural Test Match at Manuka Oval), 17 One Day Internationals (including the 2015 World Cup Semi-Final) and 4 T20 Internationals. I have been a member of the NSW and ACT representative scoring panels. As a Premier Cricket Scorer, I have scored in Canberra for Weston Creek Molonglo and currently Ginninderra, scoring over 200 1st Grade matches since 2003. In 2023, I was honoured to be named the ACT Scorer of the Century at the Cricket ACT Centenary celebrations. In total, I have scored nearly 400 grade and representative matches.

As the Historian for Cricket ACT, I was a chief consultant for the very successful 6 episode podcast series for the Centenary of Cricket ACT.
