Sydney University Cricket Club


Sydney University Cricket Club is a cricket club associated with the University of Sydney. It was founded in 1864. The club plays in the Sydney Grade Cricket competition. Its first Grade Cricket match was against Glebe Cricket Club in 1893. The club has gained worldwide exposure due to its acronym, SUCC. This acronym is amusing to many involved in "meme culture", since the neologism "succ" has therein acquired an association with fellatio.
Australian Test players who have played for Sydney University Cricket Club include Tom Garrett, Sammy Jones, Johnny Taylor, John Dyson, Beau Casson, Greg Matthews, Stuart Clark, Stuart MacGill and Ed Cowan. Test players Imran Khan of Pakistan, William Sommerville of New Zealand and Kevin Pietersen of England have also played for the club.
