About The Author

Sam Perry

As wide-eyed juniors, Sam Perry and Ian Higgins both dreamed of playing cricket for Australia one day. That was before they entered the harsh, dog-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 of catharsis, ‘The Grade Cricketer’ was born: a desperate, delusional ‘everyman’ who thousands of middling amateur athletes can relate to, even if they refuse to admit it publicly. Now with over 1 million followers @thegradecricketer is their satirical take on cricket across the globe.
