Throughout the 2023/24 season, Old Wesley Cricket witnessed outstanding individual performances and notable achievements on the field.
The first XI had an up and down season, just missing out on finals after two narrow losses at the end of the season. New recruit, Uli van Duyker shone brightly, finishing the season with the most runs for the side, amassing an impressive total of 303 runs at an average of 75.75. Meanwhile, captain Rick Morris (OW2004) showcased his all-around skills, leading the bowling attack with 12 wickets at an average of 19.83 and making a memorable contribution with the bat, scoring a century against Old Caulfield.
In the second XI, there were signs of progress and improvement from the previous season. Despite falling short of the finals, the team demonstrated resilience and determination, with notable performances from new recruit Tanish Prabhu (OW2022), who led the bowling with 12 wickets at an average of 9.17. Rory Wilson (OW2022) also made significant contributions with the bat, scoring 138 runs at an average of 27.6 and delivering a stellar bowling performance of 6-28 against Old Trinity.
