Milestone for Monash cricketerMonash University Cricket Club records were rewritten earlier this month by Physics department deputy head Associate Professor Trevor Finlayson. In a match between Monash and Old Carey, Associate Professor Finlayson passed an aggregate of 5000 runs - the highest run aggregate by any cricketer who has played for Monash since records were first kept by the Monash University Cricket Club in the 1972/73 season. Since joining Monash in 1972, Associate Professor Finlayson has played every season for the club, with the exception of the occasional interruption for an overseas study program. He also played 30 games for Monash during his time as a PhD student in the 1960s, but club records from this period have been lost. Since 1972, he has played 255 games and has batted on 271 occasions. His aggregate, at an average of 22 runs per dismissal, includes four centuries, with a highest score of 124, and one 99 n.o, when the last batsman was dismissed first ball. Associate Professor Finlayson also boasts a fine record as a wicket keeper, with 316 dismissals. And just for the records, club statistics show him to have a bowling average of 20.6 from 78 overs, having taken 15 wickets for 309 runs. |

Kvackaj Andrew Kvackaj has grown in his job as assistant manager of the Monash gymnasium along with Sports and Recreation itself.
Kotch, as he is known, started at the centre 11 years ago while studying for his Bachelor of Applied Science in Physical Education. At that time, Sports and Recreation occupied relatively modest premises and offered a commensurate range of services. Since then however, Monash's fitness facilities have expanded into a modern complex servicing 2600 financial members both from within and outside of Monash.
Kotch enjoys the mix of hands-on and administrative work his job involves, including taking fitness classes and doing fitness assessments, individualised instruction and staff training, as well as administrative work.
But it is the 'people aspect' of his work that initially attracted Kotch and continues to give him the most satisfaction. He says he has found that "developing good relationships with clients is the key factor to things running smoothly". An added bonus at Monash is the diversity of the people he meets.
Kotch balances his commitment to Sports and Recreation with a full life away from work. He plays basketball and Aussie rules and is planning a trip to Slovakia later in the year to meet his relatives there.
