This is my earliest memory: I was at Cresswell Park and Belvista Oval, which is our second venue, from the age of three.
At the age of 8, David started playing for the Claremont-Nedlands Cricket Club (CNCC) under-10 team. He progressed through the age system alongside Joel Paris, Matt Kelly, Will Bosisto and Durham opener Cameron Steele.
