Andrew Richards “Cho”
CGS class of 2010
LH middle-order batsman, Wicketkeeper, Under-utilised Left-Arm Sling
A late bloomer, the Cho returned to cricket at age 25, averaging 7.24 across 17 innings thru his first two seasons. Someone saw his potential though, and gifted him the keys to the 2nd XI in 2019-20 where he lead the lads to a flag, locking up Clubman of the Year honours along the way, and has since gone on to be OCGCCs most prolific batsman, with an unbeaten 78* in the 2025-26 Grand Final to claim the flag from fourth over Old Scotch in Division 3.
