  • Sunday August 7, 2011
    Sunday August 7, 2011 Bhanuka's younger brother Shanuka collecting the coveted prize on his behalf from Chief guest Sidath Wettimuny riday, August 5 was a day the schoolboy cricketers of Sri Lanka will long remember. They were rewarded for their hard and untiring efforts for the F2010 season. Bata and the Sunday Times together with officials of the Sri Lanka School Cricket Association, Association of Cricket Umpires and top cricketers of yesteryear and made a grand effort to pick and choose the best schoolboy cricketers and teams. These young cricketers will undoubtedly contribute to the national stream in years to come. The grand night, the awards ceremo- ny, of the 32nd Bata-the Sunday Times Schoolboy Cricketer of the Year kicked off on Friday at the BMICH in Colombo with the distinguished patronage of former national cricketer and present interim committee member of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), Sidath Wettimuny as the chief guest.

  • 371 – March 2018 (2)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 371 – MARCH 2018 (2) Wednesday 28 March 2018 – Meeting The society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Adrian Aymes, on his return to the Society. He first addressed members in September 2000, during his benefit year. ADRIAN NIGEL AYMES was born in Southampton on 4 June 1964, and attended Bellemoor School. He came late to first-class cricket. He joined the Hampshire staff when 21 years of age in 1986 but did not gain a regular place until he finally displaced Bob Parks some four years later. He gave notice of what was to follow on his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1987. With Hampshire in trouble, he battled to 58 not out. Subsequently, no player in the first-class game during the 1990s sold his wicket more dearly. He was undefeated in a high proportion of his innings, which spoke volumes for his technique, temperament and sheer cussedness. With Robin Smith, he became the beating heart and consciousness of the Hampshire batting. If he took root and dug in, Hampshire were generally assured of a competitive total. All of his eight centuries were made in adversity. Of all Hampshire’s wicket-keepers, only his successor, Nic Pothas, has a higher batting average. He was a passionately proud professional, and never gave less than his best. He was fortunate to keep wicket to two of the genuinely great bowlers in the history of the game. At the start of his career, he stood back to the incomparable Malcolm Marshall; latterly, he kept to the unique Shane Warne.

The 16 teams have announced their squads, and warm-up games will provide a chance for teams to trial different line-ups. On Friday, South Africa and England will face each other in the first of two Twenty20 International fixtures. So who should the selectors pick? A new study published in the Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation has provided an optimal team ordering algorithm consisting of three components: team selection, batting order and overs bowled. The research shows that an optimal Twenty20 line-up sometimes calls for non-traditional roles from players. Below are the optimal line-ups for England and South Africa as given by the researchers’ algorithm, formulated after publication of the original research.
