Playing Career
A right-arm fast-medium bowler, Saker made his first class debut in the 1994-95 season. He spent six years with the Bushrangers before accepting an offer to join the Tasmanian side at the start of the 2000-01 season. As a veteran in a fairly young side he was named as their Player of the Year for 2001-02. Saker was also a handy batsman, making four first class half centuries, even opening the batting at times for the Bushrangers at limited-overs level. He retired in 2002-03 with 247 wickets to his name at 30.10.

Famous quotes containing the words playing and/or career:
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
