TEAMS OF THE DECADE

To celebrate UCC’s rich cricketing history, some of the finest players to have represented the Club were selected for our Teams of the Decade.

​

Spanning generations of UCC cricket, the team recognises players whose performances, achievements and contribution on the field have earned them a place among the Club’s very best.

​

Each Team of the Decade squad comprises 12 players, with no designated 12th man.

​

Players are listed in a nominal batting order, with specialist bowlers generally appearing in the lower order unless recognised as genuine all-rounders.

SELECTION CRITERIA Players must have played a minimum of 20 Grade matches for UCC. Overseas professionals were not eligible, although players from other Australian states could be selected. ​ Selection considered achievements at both UCC and first-class level, with greater emphasis placed on performances for the Club. ​ Where possible, teams were selected along traditional lines: six specialist batsmen, a wicketkeeper, a frontline spinner and three fast bowlers, with flexibility for genuine all-rounders.
