Luke Feldman (born 1 August 1984) is a former Australian cricketer who played for the Queensland Bulls. He is the son of former Queensland One Nation party leader Bill Feldman. [1]
Feldman was a policeman in the North Queensland country towns of Charters Towers and Innisfail [2] and drove to play club cricket in Townsville and Cairns comps before returning to fulfil his duties as a policeman after the game. After some strong performances he was offered a place in the Queensland Academy. [3]
He made his Sheffield Shield debut against the Victorian Bushrangers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. During the match,he made a mid-night arrest after an intruder came into his hotel room. By that stage he'd already bowled Nick Jewell and was soon wreaking more havoc on the Victorian team. Since then he has improved by gaining match figures of 9 for 81 against the New South Wales Blues.
Feldman played a key role in a rare "tied" draw between Queensland and Victoria in the 2011–12 Sheffield Shield season. Batting at number 11 and needing two runs to win off the last ball of the match,Feldman scored a single. He did not attempt a second run;had he done so and succeeded,Queensland would have won the match;had he done so and failed,the match would have been a tie as opposed to a draw,and both teams would have earned three points for the match as opposed to two. [4]
In March 2018,during the 2017–18 Sheffield Shield season,he took his 200th first-class wicket. [5]
In March 2019,Feldman announced his retirement from professional cricket,rededicating his life to the Queensland Police Force. He retired after 63 first-class matches and 232 wickets. [6]
The Queensland men's cricket team or the Queensland Bulls is the Brisbane-based Queensland representative cricket side in Australia's domestic cricket tournaments:
The Sheffield Shield is the domestic first-class cricket competition of Australia. The tournament is contested between teams representing the six states of Australia. The Sheffield Shield is named after Lord Sheffield.
Nathan Michael Hauritz is a former Australian cricketer who has represented Australia in Tests,One-dayers and Twenty20 Internationals. He is mainly noted for his off spin bowling. He was a part of the Australian squad which won the 2003 Cricket World Cup.
James Redfern Hopes is an Australian cricket coach and former cricketer. Hopes played domestic cricket for Queensland,and had represented Australia in One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket from 2005 to 2010. Hopes was consistently one of the best bowlers in Australian domestic cricket through his career,and when he retired in 2016 he was the top wicket-taker of the last decade despite never being selected to play in a Test match for Australia.
Herbert Ironmonger was an Australian cricketer. He played Test cricket from 1928 to 1933,playing his last Test at the age of 50. He is the second-oldest Test cricketer.
Allan Border Field is a cricket ground in the Brisbane suburb of Albion in Queensland. The Australian Cricket Academy has been based at the oval since 2004,using it as a base for the development of elite cricketers throughout Australia.
Mervyn Roye Harvey was a cricketer who played in one Test match for Australia in 1947. His younger brother,Neil,was one of Australia's finest batsmen,and the pair played together for Victoria during the latter part of Merv's career.
Raymond Harvey was an Australian former first-class cricketer who played for Victoria in the 1940s and 1950s. He was the brother of Australian Test batsmen Merv and Neil and first-class cricketer and umpire Mick Harvey. Ray Harvey was an attacking and talented batsman but failed to reach international standards and only managed to hold down a regular position in the Victorian team in two seasons in the 1950s. This failure to match the standards set by his Test-capped brothers was often attributed to a lack of single-mindedness and hunger.
Edward Philip Illingworth is a former Australian cricketer who played five first-class matches for Victoria between 1962 and 1964. A right-arm medium pace bowler,Illingworth was best remembered for being no-balled for throwing in a Sheffield Shield match against South Australia in November 1964 by umpires Col Egar and Jack Ryan. His selection for Victoria was made more controversial by the fact that he had been called at district level for throwing prior to his first-class debut. Away from first-class cricket,Illingworth had a successful career for Fitzroy in Victorian Premier Cricket,where he remains the eighth highest wicket-taker of all time,with 599. He was named the club champion three times,and later served for seven years as a board member of the Victorian Cricket Association.
