5 questions with Noah Mowbray
How old were you when you first started playing cricket?
I first started playing cricket properly at about age 11, but played backyard games before then.
Who influenced you along the way?
I have had a lot of influences, some have played a lot themselves others not so much. Both my parents have encouraged me a lot to work hard and enjoy the game. And a long time mentor would be Jason Krejza who has given me a lot of tips and coaching along the way. Someone else I would say who has influenced my game would be my coach in my first year of under 16's Jack Dobinson as he convinced me to seriously consider bowling leg spin properly, as before that I just played the game and did a bit of everything ( not very successfully at the time aha) but he had a great influence on my current game.
Which Big Bash team do you support?
I don't have an overall favourite team as I prefer to follow players. I will say both the Thunder and Sixers as they are both Sydney sides.
Who is your all time favourite player?
That's a tough one as I have admired a lot of players. Shane Warne as he was the best leg spinner the game has had.
