Director) Prabha Ravi MEDICAL OFFICER Dr Jake Pearson MB, ChB, FACSP Elizabeth Scurr 6 CRICKET WELLINGTON Annual Report 2019–20 PRESIDENT’S REPORT The progress that Cricket Wellington has made in all aspects of our game, over the last four years, has been remarkable. The Boards, under former Chair Sally Morrison, and current Chair David Howman have set the scene by formulating a clear and coherent vision and strategy and putting in place sound and comprehensive governance policies and financial controls. Importantly, they have supported the management team in pursuit of the strategic objectives. The management team under the CEO, Cam Mitchell and ably assisted by Liz Green, have excelled in driving the organisation forward in pursuit of our vision. What has impressed me is the continuous pursuit of excellence throughout our cricket community. I think this is special. What is more, when talking to our people, this desire to be better is growing. The organisation, the teams and individuals are not sitting back on past success but are determined to improve even further. It has been exciting to see the evolution of Cricket Wellington and to see how, both individually and collectively, the organisation has grown and evolved in this way. I believe there are even better times ahead. This pursuit of excellence has seen Wellington lead the other major associations both on and off the field. This can be seen in last year’s outstanding achievements: • The outstanding results of the Firebirds and the Blaze, with both teams winning trophies and the Firebirds winning the Plunket Shield for the first time in 16 years. • Our success with seven awards at the New Zealand Annual Cricket Awards: • Sophie Devine and Devon Conway leading the way with multiple awards. • Dave Gillespie and Rick Mudgway for outstanding contribution to Community and Junior Cricket. • Jess Kerr winning the Phyl Blackler Cup for women’s Domestic Bowling. • Hamish Bennett selected in the BLACKCAPS once again. • Jesse Tashkoff captaining New Zealand at the ICC Under 19 World Cup tournament. • The management team not missing a beat after the COVID19 outbreak and straight after the season prematurely ended immediately starting on their planning for next season with the aim of improving on last season, and looking to formulate new initiatives in pursuing our strategic objectives. • The Board seeking continued improvement, both individually and collectively. • Our financial performance which has seen a positive financial result for three consecutive years and starting to build up our financial reserves again. The importance of this, of course, was seen in the Board’s excellent initiative to waive affiliation fees next season in support of our clubs.

  • 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.

  • Weekly Update – 24 October 2009
    Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.174 – Black Caps Pipped Again Unbelievable – Deja Vue – Black Caps Pipped Again! Call it what you will, the Tie at Eden Park on Sunday, in the series deciding 5th T20, was the most extraordinary coincidence. Again, NZ lost fewer wickets to England, the winner of the “super over”. But who makes the rules by which these games are played? Consider these logics: CRICKET IS A GAME BETWEEN TWO TEAMS – OBJECT TO SCORE MORE RUNS/TAKE MORE WICKETS THAN THE OTHER TEAM • Why then not award the game, when tied, to the Team that loses the fewer wickets – on this basis NZ would have won the ICC CWC (lost only 8 wickets to England’s 10) and yesterday’s T20 (T11) – NZ lost 5, England 7 wickets. • But why, in the ICC CWC, was England able to contest the “super over” – it had lost all 10 wickets. Should have been end of story! • Or, if a “super over” has to be bowled, then wouldn’t it be more logical for the batsmen to be those who were not out or still to bat? Once out means OUT? And bowl only a bowler who hadn’t used his T20 quota. In the interest of fairness and logic! Having got that angst off my chest, what a remarkable game yesterday! Talk of coincidences – and quite extraordinary that the game even took place. We had waited all day Saturday for the forecast rain which, most thankfully, held off. And Sunday morning was fine – when the rain did come, around 11am, it came! The whole of Auckland was blanketed – not too heavy but steady and the wind had dropped.
