Philosophy Emery
Edit ProfileCareer
He was a wicket-keeper and valuable left-handed batsman. At Shore, he was Captain of Cricket and Captain of Rugby and subsequently represented Global Positioning System teams in both sports. He was also a very good swimmer and diver in his early school years.
Philosophy represented Gordon at the Sydney Grade Cricket level
He then made his debut for the New South Wales Cricket team during the 1987-1988 season replacing the previous "keeper Greg Dyer. Philosophy captained New South Wales to their 42nd Sheffield Shield title during the 1993-1994 season while regular captain Mark Taylor was absent representing Australia.
He played in one Test and one ODI, both in Pakistan relieving Ian Healy who was out due to injury. This makes Emery only the third wicket-keeper (together with the long-serving Ian Healy and Adam Gilchrist) to keep wicket in an Australian Test cricket team to Shane Warne (1992–2007) and Glenn McGrath (1993–2007) during their long Test careers.
