2013 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2013 in REVIEW! - by Peter Flintoff Section 1 Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2013 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2013 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 CANBERRA PREVAILS FOR IT'S FIRST AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP! In 2012/13 we enjoyed the third season of the re-born Australian Baseball League. As in the first two seasons six teams from major capital centres made up the competition, namely Adelaide Bite, Brisbane Bandits, Canberra Cavalry, Melbourne Aces, Perth Heat and Sydney Blue Sox. Once again these teams comprised many of the best local players with the addition of international imports from the USA, Japan and Korea mainly. For reasons best known to them only the teams on the eastern seaboard invited Japanese imports with the understanding that they would only be available up to Christmas. This of course remains an issue of interest and division among ABL fans. Although we recognise the benefit of having this relationship with the Japanese pro leagues, plus the players can be productive and popular while they are here, it has not been a recipe for team success. Canberra, as we would expect, had a surplus of American import players and the departure of a couple of Japanese imports had little effect on them - they were readily replaced. Brisbane, and Melbourne especially, found it tough to compete after their key Japanese players returned home mid-season. The Adelaide Bite hit pay dirt with a couple of very good Korean players who remained all season to compliment their strong US professionals. The defending Champion Perth Heat once again boasted a strong core of US imports. For the third season of the new league there was another very minor expansion of the schedule with one extra game increasing the regular season from 45 games to 46. This was achieved by extending the regular season from 11 weeks to 13 weeks, while the five game weekend series from the 2012 season was discontinued in favour of a maximum of four games per series, with room to make up postponed games. The extra rounds meant that each team would host one additional home series against different opponents, even though this resulted in an unbalanced schedule. The season started with a "softer" schedule that involved three game weekends and each team had an early season bye round. Again the programming of games varied slightly from city to city and week to week but, generally, they spanned from Thursday to Saturday or Friday to Sunday. Typically each series comprised two night games with one weekend double-header. The first game of a double-header was played over seven innings while all other games were nine innings. Rained-out and/or postponed games were re-scheduled to be added to weekend programs for the return series between the same teams. At the conclusion of the 46 preliminary games played by each team a new “Top Three” format was adopted for the playoffs. The shortening of the playoffs that had been a "Final Four" in 2012 balanced the longer regular season by having two weekends of finals instead of three. Additionally, it was decided to make all finals best-of-three, whereas the early finals had been best-of-five. Under this format the team finishing top automatically qualified to host the Championship series, while the second placed team hosted the third placed team in the one semi-final series. The winner of this progressed to be the away team in the Championship series. The final table for 2012/13 will record that both Sydney and Brisbane played one fewer game (45) and this was because their final series of the season was not concluded. The fourth game of the series at Blacktown was washed out and, because final table positions could not be changed, it was decided that a re-schedule of the game before the playoffs was unnecessary. It was slightly disappointing for ABL fans that the commitment for FOXTEL pay-TV coverage of the Grand Final games slid somewhat from the previous season. There had been live coverage of all three Championship games at the end of 2012, but in 2013 only the first game was televised live while the second game was shown days later on replay. As a footnote to this the second ABL All- Star Game was also shown only on replay a few days later, whereas it had been live in 2012.

  • 2010 CLAXTON 2010 in REVIEW! - by Peter Flintoff Section 1
    Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2010 CLAXTON 2010 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 VICTORIA EMERGES TO WIN 22ND CLAXTON SHIELD - LAST OF THIS FORMAT? Under assurance that Australia’s new National Baseball League would definitely commence at the end of 2010, this 2009/10 Claxton Shield was proclaimed to be the last of its kind. Similar to the previous competition, this program was designed to be as close as possible to what the National League might bring as a kind of “forerunner” to the new competition. As another progressive upgrade from the previous year, each of the five major state teams were scheduled to play two three-game weekend series against each other state on a “home & away” basis. The schedule comprised more games than the previous season with the abandonment of the “Showcase Round” from the 2008/09 competition. Standard programming was for a Friday night game plus a Saturday afternoon/night double- header, however, separate games on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights were scheduled for Perth as a variation to this. Rained-out and/or postponed games were re-scheduled to be added to weekend programs for the return series between the same teams. At the conclusion of the 24 preliminary games played by each team the top placed team on the table was automatically qualified to host the best-of-three Grand Final series. The second placed team would host the third placed team in a best-of-three semi-final series for the right to play in the Grand Final. This Claxton Shield review is not intended to

  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,
