Weekly Update – 24 October 2009 Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.186: 2019/20 – Club of the Year! The 2019/20 Season may have ended a fraction prematurely but, for Parnell, it was a resounding success. Over it’s long history, 163 years, the Club has won many championships and produced some of New Zealand’s finest cricketers but few seasons have produced the results and accolades gained in 2019/20. COVID 19 has meant the postponement of the Annual Awards Dinner but Auckland Cricket has just announced the trophy winners and a superb collection of silverware comes to Parnell and our Players: “Club of the Year” – the Simmonds & Osborne Trophy awarded to Parnell Cricket Club Parnell last won this Award 27 years ago. The Trophy dates from 1905/06 when it was awarded jointly to City, Grafton, North Shore and Parnell Cricket Clubs. Parnell was the sole awardee in 1909/10 and North Shore won in 1910/11 but, then, till 1926/27 there were No Awards made. Reinstated the next season, From then it was awarded each year to WW 2 with Parnell winning in 1933/34. No awards during the War but from 1946/47 it has been presented annually again and Parnell won it the next season,1947/48. Next, and represented by Eastern Districts (Parnell, Orakei, Ellerslie and Panmure CCs), we won in 1959/60. The District Scheme ended in 1966 but Parnell did not win the Trophy again until 1992/93. That season Mike Simpson, our present Patron, was both President and Chairman. It has taken another 27 years to win again. A long time and reflects well on the performances right through the grades, Boys, Girls, Men and Women of all ages – 5 year olds to 70 year olds who took the field for the Club in 2019-20. Other ACA Awards Mark Chapman – celebrating his 100 vs India A Photo per Getty Images Aces' Batsman of the Year AND Highest Score on Eden Park - Ridings Cup: 146 Auckland vs N.D. ACA’s Citation: Chapman played several memorable knocks in the 2019/20 summer. The left- hander was particularly impressive through the second half of the season, hitting an unbeaten 84 to take the ACES to victory in the Ford Trophy final and twin Plunket Shield hundreds (143 and 146) in a thrilling one-wicket win over Northern Districts. Adding to these excellent performances for the ACES, the 25-year old also notched back-to-back hundreds for New Zealand A against the touring India A side. Ian West Coach of the Year – the Merv Wallace Bat ACA’s Citation: Ian West built on last summer’s Jeff Crowe Cup success by leading Parnell to two finals and lifting the Hedley Howarth Trophy. West kept the Peaches focussed after tight defeats in the T20 and 50 Over finals going on to claim Parnell’s first two-day title since 2014/15. With Parnell going as close as any to the treble, it’s no surprise that West claims Club Coach of the Year for 2019/20. Brad Rodden Most Positive Premier Grade Player - The Dick Shortt Memorial Trophy This is an award made by the Auckland Cricket Umpires and Scorers Association. Dick Shortt was a noted and very much respected umpire through the 1950/60s and stood in 9 Tests. In 2018/19 the Umpires awarded Brad “Captain of the Year” Harry Miller Most Premier Grade Wicketkeeping Dismissals - SR Speed Trophy 47 dismissals (43 ct 4 std) Note: Harry had to make way for Ben Horne when Ben was not required for the Aces. Ben, for our Prems ct. 14 & std 1. Harry, for our Premier Reserves also ct. 7 std 1 –overall, 55 dismissals for the Season SR (Stewart) Speed was Auckland’s ‘keeper though the 1960s. Very sound behind the stumps, Stewart was also a very good lower middle order bat. In 33 First Class matches he made 73 dismissals (61 ct. 12 std) Yasmin Khareem – 451 runs Most Runs in Women's Premier Grade - the Nesse Hammond Cup PLUS TEAM AWARDS: Brad Rodden leading the Prems – but it was in whites that success finally came • Hedley Howarth Trophy - Men’s Premier 2 Day Champs.

Unfortunately, Covid-19 restrictions forced the cancellation of the event. The book penned by the eminent New Zealand writer Bill Francis, with Forewords by Graham Vivian and Vic Pollard, pays tribute to a fine sportsman who represented his country in cricket and football, captaining New Zealand for a period. It looks at the life of a brilliant and talented sportsman who developed his chosen games to reach the top. Burgess featured in 50 tests for New Zealand and amassed 68 First Class appearances for Auckland, for whom he scored 4228 runs with 10 centuries. Mark was able to combine a successful business career with playing sport for a period before retiring to move into a different phase of his life. He more than re-payed his time away from his employer, Brittain Wynyard, in the early days to remain with them until retirement. If you would like to learn more about this wonderful sportsman and recall those days of New Zealand cricket when wins were important for the development of the game of the amateur game then this book will be of interest to you. ORDER NOW For orders, more information and other titles: [email protected] FROM YOUR EDITOR – A PERSONAL COMMENDATION A personal commendation – Mark Burgess grew up at Parnell, one of a very special group of schoolboys nurtured, encouraged and challenged by the Club. Mark was a Parnell member from very young – the photo below of the Club’s Opening Day, October 1954 shows Mark as a 10 year old. He, and his mate, Terry Jarvis, represented Eastern Districts in the annual ACA Primary School Tournament and in his secondary school days played for Auckland Grammar on Saturday mornings and, in the afternoons for Parnell until, quite early because of his talent, he was selected for Grammar’s 1st XI. Play for Parnell was restricted to holidays but gave him the opportunity to play with adults in the Eastern Districts grade. Parnell fielded 3 teams in that grade, “Reds”, “Whites” and “Blues”, which soaked up anybody wanting a game – from retired Premier players to 13 year olds. Great learning experience for youngsters playing with the likes of Ray Emery, Jack Forsman, Sam Sukias and Peter Badley. Reputations meant nothing – I remember Tom Burtt, up from Canterbury, great left arm spinner with the NZ ‘49ers, being carted for 6 four times in one over – at Hobson Park, the ball sailing over the hedge onto Market Road. For Mark, after Grammar for a season or two, the runs didn’t come quite so easily. At Grammar Mark had been exceptionally successful with his off spinners but there was competition. Eastern already had Geoff Rabone and Ross Morgan bowling offies. Colin Stringer also joined – from England, a very competent left arm orthodox spinner. Johnny Carson was another left arm spinner coming into contention. Auckland had John Sparling as incumbent offie and, lefties, Hedley Howarth and John McIntyre were locked in mortal combat. Opportunities for Mark’s off spin were severely restricted. Not yet required for the Auckland Plunket Shield team, he had already done well with the bat in the Brabin Cup (U19s) and Rothmans (U23) Tournament, Mark was selected to make his 1st Class debut, for the NZ Under 23 XI vs Auckland in March 1964. A couple of years later, the frustrated offie, despite the dictates of the District Scheme with its residential requirements, decide to move from Parnell/Eastern to play for Grafton. The District Scheme was failing already and Mark’s departure hastened its end. Some disappointment but Mark’s move was pragmatic and he remained a great friend of all his former colleagues and team mates at Parnell. Mark is an Hon. Vice President of Parnell CC. At Grafton, Mark’s batting bloomed whilst his bowling, ironically, didn’t – but that is for Bill Francis to tell. Bill is a marvelous author – wonderful that he has chosen to write this biography of Mark. Bill’s biography of Stu Dempster is great reading and I am sure this book on Mark will be , too!

  • 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.

Looking back now at March it all happened so quickly and it was with a sense of great disappointment that we had to cancel all our end of year prizegivings, miss out on the last two weekends of cricket and lock up the Indoor Training Centre for all of April. Now we can only hope that everything has settled down enough to allow us to enjoy a full season in 2020-21 and that all our members are healthy and safe. However, it was still another great year for Suburbs.
