Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No. 203 – Test Matches Resurrected & A New TV Commentator Henry Darrow being interviewed again yesterday by 1 NEWS’ Michelle Prendiville PER 1 NEWS’ SPORTS REPORT – 6 pm 11 FEBRUARY (from TV 1’s website): “Sitting in attendance at the Eden Park outer oval last week, a few young fans were discussing the impressive knock of Wellington Firebirds’ Finn Allen with 1 NEWS’ Michelle Prendiville. Despite Allen leading the Firebirds to victory over the Auckland Aces with an impressive 75 off 33 balls, Henry Darrow noted that the knock didn’t quite stack up to the efforts of White Ferns star Sophie Devine. “Not better than Sophie Devine but still pretty good,” he said, referring to Devine’s record breaking 108 off 38 balls last month in the Women’s Super Smash. That comment went viral, receiving praise from sports stars to Members of Parliament, and highlighted the growth and influence of the women’s game with the younger generation. The young Darrow could not believe the response when he caught up with 1 NEWS again today. "It's weird because I say something and then next minute I've gone viral." But praise was not all he received. Prior to her Super Smash elimination final clash at the same ground today, Sophie Devine c ame and met the youngster, gifting him one of her Wellington Blaze playing shirts. "I was was really humbled by Henry’s comments," Devine said. "This is what we want from the next generation coming up. Just applauding cricketers, it doesn’t matter if they’re male or female." A starstruck Darrow said the shirt would be going straight on the wall and said he would always "cherish this moment". Sophie Devine presenting Henry with the Wellington Blaze shirt and Henry, wearing the shirt and concluding the interview Test Matches Resurrected Early last season experienced journalist George Dobell (Times, Wisden, ESPNcricinfo), in a podcast, accused NZ of preparing poor pitches. Dobell said: “pitches like this and the one for the first test in Mount Maunganui are helping to kill this form of the game, as spectators vote with their feet and stay away.” That was following the NZ/Black Caps’ win against England by an innings and 65 runs at Bay Oval and, in the game in question at Seddon Park, had a very credible draw. This after England had a 1st innings lead of 101 thanks to Rory Burns’ 101 and Joe Root’s 226. Later in the season, 2019/20, and after 3 disastrous Tests in Australia, NZ/Black Caps went on to play Tests vs India winning both – by 10 wickets at the Basin Reserve and 7 at Hagley Park. This season – 4 Tests played here vs West Indies and Pakistan with 3 won by an innings and 1 by 101 runs. New Zealand Killing Test cricket? Hardly, we are winning and Test matches here and overseas are on an amazing resurgence. Some incredible games in recent weeks – India’s superb series win over Australia, Pakistan beating South Africa, West Indies scoring 395 to beat Bangladesh (Kyle Mayers 210* on debut) and now England’s wins over Sri Lanka and now India. Scintillating, compulsive viewing all of it! George Dobell does have a point – New Zealanders weren’t attending Tests in 2019/21 and the bulk of the spectators were from the Barmy Army, Howzat and similar UK groups. With the further successes of the Black Caps, and better scheduling of the Tests, our crowds are growing. May the Black Caps continue to win their Tests and that spectators flock to give them the support that they very much deserve. We should make the most of it - at least, in these Covid 19 times, we here in NZ can attend these games. Elsewhere overseas it is so sad to see Tests, in fact any cricket, played in vast, empty stadia! Club Matches – Saturday, 6 February Men’s Premier Grade - Jeff Crowe Cup Round 7 (last of the Round Robin) – vs Suburbs New Lynn at Ken Maunder Pk 1. PARNELL 103/10 (37.5) Flynn McGregor-Sumpter 25 (61), Fanie de Villiers 27 (26) Dean van Deventer 18 (46), S Devereaux 2/32 (7), A Ashok 4/20 (10o 4m), D Watson 2/16 (6) SUBURBS NEW LYNN 104/4 (21.5) S Martin 30 (36), M Barry 28* (37), Nikith Perera 2/34 (7) Aniket Parikh 2/14 (5) RESULT: Suburbs NL won by 6 wickets Waitangi Weekend and leading batsmen Ben Rae and Andy Lane were not available. Nor were Aces Mark Chapman, Ben Horne, Ollie Pringle and Will Somerville. Fortunately, at top of the Table with 15 points and NRR of +1.5 - virtually unassailable and a Semi-Final place assured, our Selectors chose to rely on our all rounders rather than bolster the batting. The Selectors’ faith was not rewarded! Our allrounders can bat – as proven previously – but not this time!! Certainly disappointing especially as our batting downfall was due to spin – a weakness going back several seasons. Schoolboy Adi Ashok is a leggie of great promise - NZ U19, Auckland A – plus the experienced offies of Dane Watson. These spinners were too much for us and, with only 104 to chase, Suburbs NL cantered to a 6 wicket win. OUTCOME Despite this loss our Pres still topped the Table. North Shore equaled us with 15 points but our final NRR of +0.584 was considerably superior to their -0.171. Semi Finals – 1st plays 4th, 2nd plays 3rd – therefore: SEMI FINALS Sunday, 21 Feb. from 11.00 am Parnell vs Cornwall at Shore Road Reserve 1. North Shore vs Howick Pakuranga at North Shore Domain 1. FINAL Sunday, 7 March from 11.00 am details and venue t.b.a.

    Basin Reserve Trust Statement of Service Performance 2019/20

    Basin Reserve Trust Statement of Service Performance 2019/20 2 Introduction The iconic Basin Reserve has a rich history. The first game of cricket was played at the Basin on 11 January 1868, making it is the oldest cricket ground in New Zealand. The ground not only hosts cricket games, but sporting fixtures of every variety. It has hosted national events and competitions including VE Day celebrations, Royal Tours, exhibitions, Scout jamborees, concerts and festivals. In 1998, the Basin Reserve was listed as a Heritage Area, becoming the first sports ground to receive such a designation and further enhancing its heritage significance. The Basin is also home to the William Wakefield Memorial that was erected in 1882 and commemorates one of Wellington’s founders, William Wakefield. The Basin Reserve plays a role in assisting Wellington City Council to achieve the recreation and leisure participation aims signalled in the 2018-28 Ten Year Plan and the “Living WELL” Wellington Sport & Active Recreation Strategy. The redevelopment will reposition the Basin as New Zealand’s premier cricket venue and help attract national and international events to Wellington. The day to day management of the Basin Reserve is undertaken by Cricket Wellington under a management agreement with the Basin Reserve Trust (BRT). This Statement of Service Performance highlights the achievements of the Trust for the period July 2019 to June 2020. Objectives The objectives of the trust are stated in the Trust Deed as agreed between the Wellington City Council and the BRT and are highlighted below: 1. to manage, administer, plan, develop, maintain, promote and operate the Basin Reserve for recreation and leisure activities and for the playing of cricket for the benefit of the inhabitants of Wellington 2.

HRV Cup Twenty20 A major highlight on this summer’s domestic cricket calendar is the HRV Cup, which will see the six major associations playing each other home and away for the first time prior to a showcase final between the two leading sides. The timing of the HRV Cup, which begins on 2nd January with the final on 31st January, ensures the BLACKCAPS can represent their provincial teams and will add luster to the competition. The inclusion of current Wellington BLACKCAPS players including Jesse Ryder, Grant Elliott, Iain O’Brien, James Franklin and Jeetan Patel, as well a host of former internationals and exciting up and comers, will see fans flock to the Allied Nationwide Finance Basin Reserve for high quality Twenty20 action. As well as BLACKCAPS, the competition will boast a clutch of international marquee players such as current England international Owais Shah for the Firebirds, Tillakaratne Dilshan for the Northern Knights and Dimitri Mascarenhas for the Otago Volts. The added incentive of winning the inaugural HRV Cup is a place in the lucrative Champions League event, which features the world’s best exponents of Twenty20 cricket. Wellington hosts the Canterbury Wizards in their first home game at the Basin Reserve on Wednesday 6 January ahead of a match-up with the Auckland Aces on Friday 8 January.
