Sydney Cricket Club

In over 100 years of competition, the Club has won 7 Club Championships, 4 first grade premierships and a number of lower grade premierships but the history of cricket is liberally sprinkled with players from Balmain who represented their State and Country with distinction.

For the record, the match ended in a draw – Balmain 394 – St George 7/358 (Bradman 134).

They hold claim to finding Tasmanian Tigers sensation Brendan Drew and were once the home of Graham Thorpe, Nathan Bracken, Joe Denly, Zak Crawley and Ireland 2007 World Cup hero Jeremy Bray.

The highest first grade run scorer of all time is, however, former opening batsman Greg Hayne, who retired at the end of the 2006/07 season, who also heads the list of those who have scored the most centuries for the club.

Following the decision to merge with the SCG Trust the club has experienced a significant financial windfall, allowing them to assemble one of the better squads in the competition, including the purchase of recently de-listed players Dominic Thornley and Daniel Smith and English representatives Joe Denly and Sam Northeast.
