Max Bryant
Max Arthur Bryant (born 10 March 1999) is an Australian cricketer. He made his List A debut for Cricket Australia XI in the 2017–18 JLT One-Day Cup on 27 September 2017. Early life Bryant was born in Murwillumbah and raised 15km south of the Queensland-New South Wales border in Kingscliff. He grew up playing cricket and rugby league for Cudgen in the Gold Coast competition. Due to its close proximity and population difference, most sports teams based in the north-eastern Tweed region of New South Wales fall under the jurisdiction of neighbouring Gold Coast sporting administrations. State representation differs between sports and this was evidenced when Bryant played for New South Wales in rugby league and Queensland in cricket. At the age of seven, he moved to Townsville for three years before relocating to the Gold Coast. Upon return, Bryant began playing Queensland Premier Cricket for the Gold Coast Dolphins where he made his first grade debut at the age of 16 in December ...

First-class Cricket
First-class cricket, along with List A cricket and Twenty20 cricket, is one of the highest-standard forms of cricket. A first-class match is one of three or more days' scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each and is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each, although in practice a team might play only one innings or none at all. The etymology of "first-class cricket" is unknown, but it was used loosely before it acquired official status in 1895, following a meeting of leading English clubs. At a meeting of the Imperial Cricket Conference (ICC) in 1947, it was formally defined on a global basis. A significant omission of the ICC ruling was any attempt to define first-class cricket retrospectively. That has left historians, and especially statisticians, with the problem of how to categorise earlier matches, especially those played in Great Britain ...

Twenty20
Twenty20 (T20) is a shortened game format of cricket. At the professional level, it was introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2003 for the inter-county competition. In a Twenty20 game, the two teams have a single innings each, which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs. Together with first-class and List A cricket, Twenty20 is one of the three current forms of cricket recognised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) as being at the highest international or domestic level. A typical Twenty20 game is completed in about two and a half hours, with each innings lasting around 70 minutes and an official 10-minute break between the innings. This is much shorter than previous forms of the game, and is closer to the timespan of other popular team sports.
