Murray John Bennett: Bennett made promising start to his career as a left arm orthodox bowler by making a successful foray into Sydney Grade Cricket for St. George in 1973–74 and was selected for New South Wales' combined schoolboy team. However, the bespectacled Bennett was unable to break through to first class level for the next decade until making his Sheffield Shield debut in the 1982-83 season at the age of 26.
