EAP Development Continues in Mackay The 2008 Australian Country Cricket Championships (ACCC) were held in Mackay, Queensland from 6- 17 January 2008. In the fifth year of parti cipation in the ACCC, the ICC East Asia-Pacific (EAP) Development Program’s representative team again benefited enormously from the experience of competing in Australia’s premier competition for country-based players. An integral component of the EAP High Performance Program, the ACCC provides the region’s elite players with the opportunity to experience multi-day cricket, natural turf wickets and high quality opposition. The EAP team was again selected following a two-week program held in November at Cricket Australia’s Centre of Excellence. While several players returned from previous campaigns, this year’s team took on a fresh look with four emerging players selected for their first ACCC. EAP star players John Ovia (right) and Dunu Eliaba (left). Disappointingly, only three of the five scheduled matches were completed, with heavy rain intervening during the second week of the tournament. Both Queensland and New South Wales remained undefeated however it was the latter, with greater bonus points, who were ultimately crowned Champions. Despite not recording a victory, the EAP team was again competitive and produced some exciting cricket at various stages throughout the tournament. In particular, the development of some of the region’s younger players was encouraging and should provide a lasting foundation for higher performance upon their return to home countries and ICC World Cricket League events. Dunu Eliaba (Cook Islands) and John Ovia (Papua New Guinea) were both rewarded for high quality performances with Australian Country XI selection. The latter recorded his first ACCC century with 119 not out against host Queensland. Unfortunately, the feature match between the Australian Country XI and Queensland Bulls was abandoned due to wet weather. Rising all-rounder Andrew Mansale (Vanuatu) also had an excellent tournament while 19-year-old pace bowler Jacob Mado (Papua New Guinea) showed ple nty of promise and finished the tournament as the team’s leading wicket-taker. www.icc-eap-cricket.com News Flash – February 2008 Australian Country Cricket Championships - Match Summaries Round 1 vs. Western Australia EAP 10/218 (Ovia 75) and 0/40 lost to WA 10/265 (Mado 3/37, Amini 3/51) EAP’s Andrew Mansale is dismissed.

  • JPL MANUAL 2018 Preface the JPL Is Designed to Be the Highest Level
    JPL MANUAL 2018 Preface The JPL is designed to be the highest level of domestic cricket in Japan and the showcase with which we promote cricket to a wider audience. As such every effort should be made to make the tournament a successful spectacle. From 2016, regional associations took over the management of their own representative team, forming the new JPL, a four team tournament featuring representative teams from North, South, East and West Kanto. The tournament is played across three match days, each team having the opportunity to play the three other regional teams once each in a double header for a total of six matches. At the conclusion of the six matches a final will be played between the top two teams. The JCA appreciates the support of regional associations in ensuring the tournament is a success and recognises the hard work done by volunteers in organising it. To help regional associations achieve their potential in managing their JPL team and hosting match days the JCA has put together a JPL manual. Items in this manual shall be considered as “minimum standards” in managing JPL teams and organising JPL events. Purpose of the JPL ● Provide a pathway for players in a region to represent Japan ● Provide high level playing opportunities for players in each region ● Promote cricket in the regional association’s target area and throughout Japan Management ● The regional association shall manage their own JPL team. ● An official JPL manager will be appointed by the regional association to manage the team. ○ The manager will be responsible for preparing the team for match days.

    You Only Live Twice Ian Fleming 1964 To Richard Hughes and Torao Saito But for whom etc… 2 You only live twice: Once when you are born And once when you look death in the face. After BASHO Japanese poet, 1643‐94 3 4 Part One 'It is better to travel hopefully... 5 6 1 Scissors Cut Paper The geisha called Trembling Leaf, on her knees beside James Bond, leant forward from the waist and kissed him chastely on the right cheek. 'That's a cheat,' said Bond severely. 'You agreed that if I won it would be a real kiss on the mouth. At the very least,' he added. Grey Pearl, the Madame, who had black lacquered teeth, a bizarre affectation, and was so thickly made up that she looked like a character out of a No play, translated. There was much giggling and cries of encouragement. Trembling Leaf covered her face with her pretty hands as if she were being required to perform some ultimate obscenity. But then the fingers divided and the pert brown eyes examined Bond's mouth, as if taking aim, and her body lanced forward. This time the kiss was full on the lips and it lingered fractionally. In invitation? In promise? Bond remembered that he had been promised a 'pillow geisha'. Technically, this would be a geisha of low caste. She would not be proficient in the traditional arts of her calling ‐ she would not be able to tell humorous stories, sing, paint or compose verses about her patron. But, unlike her cultured sisters, she might agree to perform more robust services ‐ discreetly, of course, in conditions of the utmost privacy and at a high price.
