The Grade Cricketer

Shakib Al-Hasan kicked some stumps over and we'll tell you why he was right to do so. England can't bat anymore and New Zealand still aren't being respected. South Africa are good again, for now. Adam Hollioake talks about facing Warne, the abandoned match in Kingston in 1998 and England's current batting woes. #AskTGC discusses youth multi leaders in South Sudan and 11 year old Scottish prodigies.

Two seasons ago, Peter Hatzoglou was playing for his club's third XI. Now he’s mixing it with the world's best T20 players, attracting comments from Shane Warne cooing over his IPL prospects.

Now that he’s sometimes on TV, does that mean nothing matters anymore? Will he shelve all other plans? Will cricket last forever? Let’s find out.

Our interview with Peter is the final instalment in our Life Outside Cricket series. Huge thanks to our interviewees, to the ACA for their partnership, and thanks to those who've tuned in.

Today’s guest tops the lot when it comes to the jaw-dropping balance she manages to strike between playing professional cricket and maintaining a professional career.

Georgia Redmayne has been on the state scene for 7 years now. She's played for NSW, Tasmania, Queensland, as well as the Hurricanes, the Scorchers and the Heat – not to mention appearances for Australia A.

In Women’s List A cricket she averages 53 with the bat, with 6 tonnes and 8 fifties to her name. In T20s she averages 24 with 8 fifties. Not content with that, she balances it with keeping too, with 76 catches and 44 stumpings across both formats.

In 2017-18 she was awarded Cricket Australia's Betty Wilson Young Cricketer of the Year, and you’ll struggle to believe how she’s achieved all of this while doing the job that she does.

This interview is part of our special series, Life Outside Cricket, where we catch up with Australian cricketers and try to get under the hood of their life and careers beyond cricket. Who knew they had lives outside the game, often possessing knowledge and interest in matters beyond wickets and runs?

We’re doing this in conjunction with the Australian Cricketers Association in promotion of Careers Week, promoting the economic, social and personal benefits of career development for all Australians.

He's a great friend of the show, well known to the cricketing world, a World Cup winner, an Ashes winner, a Tasmanian stalwart, now a national selector and widely acknowledged as an excellent leader in his field. He's built some academic acumen to match that real-life experience and we catch up with him on our series, Life Outside Cricket, produced in conjunction with the Australian Cricketers Association.

It's our friend and yours, George Bailey.

Episode two of our special series Life Outside Cricket continues, as we catch up with one of Australia's leading cricketers. Jess Jonassen has been a major part of the Australian Women's Cricket team for the best part of decade, contributing heavily with both bat and ball across that time.

This series, Life Outside Cricket, is produced in conjunction with The Australian Cricketers Association, celebrating National Careers Week.
