The Grade Cricketer

Sam Perry & Ian Higgins

As wide-eyed juniors, the Grade Cricketer dreamed of playing cricket for Australia one day. That was before entering the dot-eat-dog world of Australian grade cricket, where their hopes and dreams were swiftly extinguished; their cricketing careers subsequently laid to rest.

As a form or catharsis, The Grade Cricketer was born: a desperate, delusional every man that thousands of middling amateur athletes can relate to, even if they refuse to admit it publicly.

Now The Grade Cricketer has a cult podcast, social media presence and series of books.

The Grade Cricketer is the finest tribute to a sport
since Nick Hornby’s Fever Pitch.

The Grade Cricketer is strange and, I suspect, brilliant.
