Quality is the key. Mentorship from senior members is always available, and the young Bens can take lot of tips by picking their experience. Par- ticipation in competitions across the twin cities in various col- lege fests is a surest way to gauge their level of performance vis -à-vis other forums. We would have dozens of ideas to share from the senior Bens flowing in about what to do and what not to do… this Editorial just attempted that. I wish to acknowledge the role of Bens Utkarsh, Siddharth, Ayush and Srikanth, for their participation in the elections and it is heart- ening to note that with their enthusiasm they are sure to make a big difference to the club in the days to come. Simple straight advice to the team of Bens Harsha, Tushar, Krishnaveni, Prahar- sha and Sriram – You have understood what this club is about and how to take it forward. Do your best and have fun!

  • A Glossary of Cricket Terms
    A glossary of cricket terms Cricket, more than most sports, is full of expressions and terms designed to bewilder the newcomer (and often even the more seasoned follower). Arm Ball A ball bowled by a slow bowler which has no spin on it and so does not turn as expected but which stays on a straight line ("goes on with the arm") The Ashes Series between England and Australia are played for The Ashes Asking rate - The runs required per over for a team to win - mostly relevant in a one-dayer Ball Red for first-class and most club cricket, white for one-day matches (and, experimentally, women once used blue balls and men orange ones). It weighs 5½ ounces ( 5 ounces for women's cricket and 4¾ ounces for junior cricket) Ball Tampering The illegal action of changing the condition of the ball by artificial means, usually scuffing the surface, picking or lifting the seam of the ball, or applying substances other than sweat or saliva Bat-Pad A fielding position close to the batsman designed to catch balls which pop up off the bat, often via the batsman's pads Batter Another word for batsman, first used as long ago as 1773. Also something you fry fish in Beamer A ball that does not bounce (usually accidently) and passes the batsman at or about head height. If aimed straight at the batsman by a fast bowler, this is a very dangerous delivery (and generally frowned on) Bend your back - The term used to signify the extra effort put in by a fast bowler to obtain some assistance from a flat pitch Belter A pitch which offers little help to bowlers and so heavily favours batsmen Blob A score of 0 (see duck) Bodyline (also known as leg theory) A tactic most infamously used by England in 1932-33, although one which had been around for some time before that, in which the bowler aimed at the batsman rather than the wicket with the aim of making him give a catch while attempting to defend himself.

  • 56Th SOUTH ISLAND PRIMARY SCHOOLS CRICKET TOURNAMENT
    56th SOUTH ISLAND PRIMARY SCHOOLS CRICKET TOURNAMENT 7TH – 11TH January 2019 Oamaru, North Otago Oamaru Nobody does it better than LJ Hooker 1 WELCOME A very warm welcome to Oamaru for the 56th South Island Primary Schools Tournament to all the players, coaches, managers, whanau and friends of the 14 participating teams. This is a tournament rich with history and this years addition sees a number of significant changes to the format in response to the new Age & Stage policy implemented by New Zealand Cricket. This is a new era for the tournament, as the shorter formats of the game will be played. This tournament has seen a number of players advance onto 1st Class cricket and International careers and it is likely some of the players playing in this year's tournament will do the same. This tournament is about bringing the best players from each of the districts from the South Island together for a week of competition and for players and supporters to enjoy the great game of cricket and each others company. A massive thank you to all of the volunteers from throughout the North Otago region who have given up their time to enable us to put this tournament on. This includes members of the organising committee, groundsman, ground managers and umpires. Without their help this tournament would not be possible. We are very thankful to all of our sponsors whose generous contributions have provided the necessary financial support required to make the tournament viable. This is especially the case for our major sponsors, LJ Hooker and Crombie & Lockwood.
