    Episode 42 Tim Hutchison - Country Cricket DNA

    Tim Hutchison is one of the most respected and much liked male players to represent the WA Country XI in the past decade. Tim is an inspiring example of someone who has lived the journey of WA Country Cricket nearly all of his life and has committed to playing at the highest level he can and ensure that others have that opportunity as well. This episode of Out on the Paddock explores Tim's pathway to becoming one of the most capped players for WA Country in its history and why carnivals such as the Australian Country Cricket Championships have allowed him to feel fulfilled in his desire to see WA Country compete successfully on the biggest of stages possible. Somewhat of a journeyman that has taken him via 3 or 4 of WA Country's biggest associations so far in his Country Cricket career, Tim explains how each of those Associations and the Clubs he has played for have had differing positive effects to aid his development as a player and also get a better appreciation of why WA Country Cricket is both diverse and great place to play. The influence of family, mate-ships and the challenges that go with playing regional Cricket at times, all stand out in this episode. It is a great listen from a universally recognised great guy.

    Episode 41 - W&G Week #3 The Emma Jamieson Story

    In our final episode to wrap up Women & Girls Week 2025, we get to hear the fabulous story and journey into Womens Cricket of Leschenault Cricket Club player, Emma Jamieson. Emma's story is one of growing up in an environment that encouraged girls to play sport, but was very much defined by those sports seen as only appropriate for females. Emma's discovery of Cricket later in life and how it has impacted her, is a great listen. Named WA Country Female Volunteer of the Year for 2024/25, Emma has taken her entry into Cricket to extreme heights and her devotion to see Women & Girls Cricket grow across regional WA and further afield, is both inspirational and exceptional. Emma is now seen as a leading thought leader when it comes to how Cricket can benefit Women and Girls in many diverse ways and her drive and passion to see the opportunities for Women and Girls to continue to grow, is something that shines brightly in this episode of the Podcast.

    Welcome to the first of an exciting 3 part set of episodes of Out on the Paddock as we explore for the first time in regional WA Cricket, a new initiative called - Women and Girls Week. This is a fabulous opportunity to continue to hear how to help advance Women and Girls Cricket throughout country WA and a chance for all regional Cricket Clubs and Associations to be a part of this growing revolution. Women and Girls week is in essence a dedicated moment to celebrate, elevate and grow the presence of Women and Girls in cricket, as well as an opportunity to also celebrate, recognise and thank those who work across the communities and regions to develop enhanced opportunities for girls to participate, in any format.  In this episode we hear from Alice Fox and Tayla Tenaglia - two inspirational thought leaders in WA Cricket as they roll out a program simply called "Her Way", designed to develop and champion opportunities for Women and Girls of all ages to play, coach, umpire, lead and volunteer, build confidence, connection and a lifelong love of cricket along the way. It is a great listen and one that all cricketers and officials across WA Country Cricket as well as parents and players should take time out to tune into. Welcome to Women and Girls Week.

    Episode 38 - A Tribute to Glen Dehring

    On the 29th August 2025, WA Country Cricket lost one of it's favourite sons and arguably one of its finest players of the recent past. Glen Dehring, or Dehro as he was often known, dominated the Cricket fields of WA Country and in fact Australian Country Cricket for nearly 4 decades and was to become the most decorated player in WA Country Crickets history. A former WA Country XI Captain at multiple Australian Country Cricket Championships in the 1990's and 2000's as well as Australian Country XI captain in 1998, Glen stands alone for WA Country when it comes to success at the highest level of the ACCC. In 2025, Glen was named in the Australian Country Cricket Hall of Fame, only the second West Australian to reach that honour. Sadly, on the 29th August 2025, Glen lost his long battle with Cancer. This episode is a tribute to Glen. A gathering of former Marist Cricket Club teammates and ex WA Country XI players - Chris Waddingham (Waddo), Paul Tomasi (Titi), Tony Warren (Rabs), Jeff Wooton (Woots) and Brendan King (Kingy), joined host Rob Marshall in this episode to reflect and remember a remarkable individual, only 24 hours after a massive service in Bunbury had been held to say goodbye to a much loved and cherished member of the WA Country Cricket Community. This is your chance to hear, remember and reflect also. Vale - Glen Dehring. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 37 - A History of Harvey Cricket Part 2

    In part 2 of - A History of Harvey Cricket, we enter the world of Cricket in Harvey in the early 21st Century with two very dominant Clubs in the town who faced the challenge of reluctantly acknowledging the need to connect together to form one club and put aside at times, quite bitter rivalries of the past. The Harvey Benger Cricket Club was formed in the winter of 2004, going into the 2004/05 Cricket season and entering the Bunbury & Districts Cricket Association. This episode explores what was to be a period of time for Harvey Cricket that ranks arguably as its greatest in the 100 plus years to that date. Taking on the might of the Bunbury Clubs and setting a new bar in WA Country Cricket in so many ways was to be the legacy and success that is the hallmark of this golden era for Harvey Cricket. How that happened and the difficult pathway to how that was achieved is the focus in a couple of interviews with those who were there to witness this, premiership winning captain from the 2025/06 season John Crognale as well as someone who has carried the new Club into the next phase of Harvey Cricket history, Haydn Jones. This episode highlights the ongoing challenges and struggles that so many Country Cricket Clubs in WA and in fact Australia face from time to time across their own history and why incredible volunteers and those with a passion for Cricket, somehow make things happen that previously seemed impossible.

    Episode 36 - A History of Harvey Cricket Part 1

    The Harvey Cricket Club is typical of so many Cricket Clubs across regional WA and in fact arguably, regional Australia as a whole. However, also like so many other Country Cricket Clubs, the unique thing about this Club, is it has its own history. It is a history that can be traced across 3 different centuries, full of pioneers, firsts, golden periods, significant challenges and premierships. From splinters in the pitch to tyre tracks on the track to countless volunteer stories and legendary performances , the story of Cricket in Harvey is one that has at times divided a community, but mostly has been the thing that has united a town. In this episode 1 of 2 episodes, we hear of the early years of Harvey Cricket from the nineteenth century through to the dawning of a new millennia and along the way, hear many of the voices who witnessed how it all happened and why it shaped much of their lives. This could be your Club, this could be someone else's Club, but for me, Rob Marshall ... this has been my Club for most of my life and the telling of it's story and history has been 3 decades in the making and I can't wait to tell you all about it. I hope you will have a listen and more than that, I hope you will enjoy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Episode 35 - A History of Geraldton Cricket

    As we launch a new year of Out on the Paddock for 2025, we smash the first episode through the covers for four with an incredible look back across over 150 years of Cricket played in and around the Geraldton region. As part of our "A History of" series, we hear from two individuals who have played large parts in both creating and capturing the history of Geraldton and its incredible array of clubs and players that make up this highly successful association. Recorded just hours before one of the most successful weekends in Geraldton Cricket history, this episode allows for you to hear and understand why this association continues to often "play above its weight grade" and also continues to produce outstanding players and officials, often influencing greatly WA Country Cricket as a whole. Be engaged with hearing why a place so far removed and remote from the mainstream and bulk of Cricket played in Western Australia, can keep showing up and keep maintaining an incredible standard of play. A great first up listen for 2025. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
