Adrian Tham to Make First Class Debut

NSWCUSA member Adrian Tham will make his First Class scoring debut next week in the Round 4 Sheffield Shield fixture between New South Wales and Western Australia.

Now in his thirteenth season at his NSW Men’s Premier Cricket club, Eastern Suburbs, Adrian has been a regular fixture as a club scorer since the beginning of the 2007-08 season.

Tham joined the Association midway through his first season of scoring and became a Full Member at last year’s AGM, paving the way for his representative career to begin.

Last season saw Adrian make his Women’s National Cricket League, Women’s Big Bash League and Second XI National Championship debuts.

He officiated his first WNCL match in the match between New South Wales and Victoria on 11 November 2018 at Blacktown International Sportspark.

It was at the same venue where he scored his first Second XI match between New South Wales Metropolitan and Tasmania from 15-18 October.

After recording his first WBBL fixture as the Sydney Sixers hosted the Perth Scorchers at North Sydney on 7 December, Tham went on to score two more WBBL matches in 2018-19.

Additionally, in the inaugural season of Second XI T20 in 2018-19, Adrian was involved in three fixtures over 30-31 January at Blacktown International Sportspark.

He has scored a further four WBBL fixtures in 2019-20 and will be on duty for his fifth match of the season in tomorrow’s fixture between the Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat.

Adrian is a well-respected and dedicated member of the Association, not only a regular feature at Annual Conventions but also always happy to assist with minor representative fixtures.

Tham’s partner for the match will be Fairfield-Liverpool scorer Kay Wilcoxon, with the pair receiving signals from NSWCUSA pair Greg Davidson and Simon Lightbody.
