St Paul's Oakleigh District Cricket Club

Club icon Trev Talbot lets us know the countdown has hit #26 days until round 1 👀

Kiz returns as senior coach for 2026/27 🟡⚫️
Following one of the most successful seasons in club history, Kieran Nolan returns led the SPODs this season in our return to MacGibbon Shield this summer.

Mansh Bhatti brings us to day #28 ⚫️🟡
We’re only one whole February away now!!

Officially less than 1 month to go until the first ball is bowled 💪
It probably won’t be #29 Pat Facey but stranger things have happened at this club. PFace returns to throw down a few offies every now and then, but most importantly as the rock in the top order

Alternate song choices included: Sherbet - Howzat or almost any other Frenzal song

34 days to go brings up player #34 Ishaan Aggarwal 🟡⚫️
Last season Ishaan burst onto the scene with a 4fa that saw him instantly promoted to the 2s, where he finished the season as 2nd highest wicket taker in the grade!!

Death, Taxes, Simon Rutherford 🟡⚫️
The man who defies time, and often the laws of physics, once again returns to show the young ones just how things should be done. We’re still not quite sure how he manages to stay so consistent, but it might have something to do with the pre Game Chockie Milk 🍫🥛

42 days to go!
Tom appears as player #42 and surprisingly we don’t have many photo of him bowling, so we’ll just have to use this one where he definitely hit the ball…

All-Round Class Returns ⚫️🟡
Mansh Bhatti is back again this summer to tear up the pitch with bat, ball, and everything in between. From 5fa’s to 50s, Mansh was a class above as one of the top allrounders for the comp last year, and we’re pumped to see him do it again in the top flight 💪

46 days to go, and Johno ✌️ is here to let us know. Our VC of the 3s, and mastermind behind some of our phenomenal graphics including newly updated club logo! You might see some more Johno posts soon… 👀

Round 1 is just around the corner - 50 days in fact!
We thought we’d start a countdown with our Player numbers, and it seemed almost perfect that Player #51 is Shaun Clement and his American ties means we’re technically not wrong in saying 51 days left 😜
