TTC Coaching

What a week for the two TTC teams and a couple of players in particular!

In the u15’s Micky Ramaswamy broke the TTC record for highest score and hit 158 off 169 balls in what was an amazing knock helping the team go from 2/2 to 8/259 on what was not a quick outfield versing a very solid attack. Micky is such a special player to work with and I am so happy to see him get the success he deserves with the hard work and passion he brings to every game and training. Critical partnerships with Eeshan, George and Aarav helped Micky and the team along the way.

In the u13’s it was a day of runs. Flipping the order some of the batters who batted lower in the first two games did exceptionally well. Shriaansh Sinha was the star of the day doubling his previous high score and hitting 71* not out in a brilliant counter-attacking innings. Good scores from Eddie and Waris along with a second 50 of the season from Aaron Jaishi allowed the team to get to a good total of 9/371 at the end of days play.

Both teams will need to bowl and field well this weekend.

A big shoutout goes to Brisbane Surgical Supplies for making it all possible :)

Yesterday I was shocked and extremely proud to be presented life membership #27 at Brisbane North Cricket Association. Being involved with BNJCA has brought me so much joy over the years and I can honestly say I have looked forward to every single session or game I’ve coached. I didn’t want to take up too much time yesterday but looking through the life members list there are some serious names and this is a huge honour. The list includes so many mentors for me and people like Reevsie, Steve and Kathy Casey are such inspirations. BNJCA is just much more than a cricket association to me, it’s a community where I have met so many wonderful people who I care about a lot.

A big thank you must firstly go to Aaron Mills for giving me the opportunity to start at Brisbane north all those years ago. I’d like to thank every volunteer that’s helped me run a session, game or trial, every parent that’s put their trust in me coaching their child (I don’t take this responsibility lightly) and every player I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I would also like to give a huge thank you to the committee that voted for me. The biggest thank you must go to my family, particularly my parents, who have supported me all the way. They allowed me to follow my passions and taught me the values of hard work.

Whilst I can’t always get it right I’m trying to improve all the time and am looking forward to plenty more years at Brisbane north!
