Run machines clash in local derby

Last season, Nathan Pilon (1,193 runs) and Richard Chee Quee (874 runs) scored more than 2,000 runs between them. Each holds his club's First Grade season record, and they will meet tomorrow when Chee Quee's Randwick Petersham hosts Pilon's St George at Petersham Oval. Both players have tasted success for NSW, and will be looking to once again impress selectors with big scores in Round 4, to be played over the next two Saturdays.

Richard Chee Quee will lead Randwick Petersham's batting line-up in the absence of teammate and new Australian star Simon Katich, and will be looking to find his O'Reilly Medallist form of two seasons ago. However, the Randy Petes will need to be at their best to halt the Saints' batting brilliance.

At Waverley Oval, competition leaders Mosman will be hoping that former NSW pacemen Phil Alley, Trent Johnston and Warwick Adlam are at their best against a confident Waverley batting lineup. Last round, the Dolphins overhauled Western Suburbs' 466 in the highest run-chase in the 110-year history of Grade cricket. However, Mosman's trio have also been impressive this season, with Johnston recording a hat-trick against University of NSW, and Adlam claiming six wickets against Gordon last week.

Speedblitz Blues batsman Matthew Phelps will be hoping to post a big score for his new club Sydney University. Having been a noticeable omission from the Blues' first ING Cup team, Phelps will be out to prove the selectors wrong when the premiers take on competition frontrunners Bankstown at University No 1 Oval. Bankstown will be without Mark Waugh, who posted an impressive century in the Bulldogs' last match. However, Corey Richards will pose a threat to the Students, having scored an undefeated 165 in last week's victory over Randwick Petersham.
