Teenage spinner joins esteemed list of England greats ahead of Sydney grade cricket final

Warner knock not enough for Capitals | 01:01Manly Warringah all-rounder Bertie Foreman has joined an illustrious list of English cricketers to win the O’Reilly Medal, awarded to NSW Premier Cricket’s first-grade men’s player of the year.

“I just enjoy the game of trying to get someone out, and over here it’s been a little bit different going about it because of how they play, and I’ve loved exploring that challenge.”Sharing the umpire-voted award with Gordon’s Tym Crawford, Foreman becomes just the sixth Englishman to receive the prestigious accolade, alongside Mason Crane, Ian Salisbury, Mike Gatting, Geoff Boycott and Tony Greig.

Over the last couple of decades, there’s been an influx of English cricketers venturing down under to challenge themselves in Australian conditions, including Ashes players Rory Burns, Scott Borthwick, Mark Stoneman and Tim Bresnan. Five members of England’s current Test squad have competed in NSW Premier Cricket — vice-captain Ollie Pope, openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, bowler Ollie Robinson and young gun Harry Brook.

The left-handed batter made his one-day debut for Sussex in August last year, scoring 35 and taking 1-40 against Worcestershire, but he’s still waiting for an opportunity to prove his worth in the County Championship.“If you put the right numbers, then you get rewarded with starts and results.“The summer out here has definitely helped me grow and develop as a player, and hopefully I can take this good form into the county season.

The 19-year-old has resided in a Collaroy Plateau property with three Manly teammates, flying back to England next week ahead of the County Championship. He was meant to return home earlier this month, but Sussex has allowed the teenager to remain in Sydney for Manly Warringah’s finals campaign.
