Mike Herlihy – always keeps things together on and off the pitch ; calm in a crisis of his own making.

Greatest moment for Sundown Specials
|
I have a terrible memory for remembering games so I’ll say a chanceless 77no v Black Rose at Woodside Park 31-8-03 to complete a 6 wicket win chasing a total of 192. Great support from Steve Golding at the other end. |
