TEN YEARS of the AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE Its Origins Flintoff & Dunn’s AUSTRALIAN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL - 2015 AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE 2015 IN REVIEW! - By Peter Flintoff Section 1 PERTH HEAT JUGGERNAUT MAKES IT 4 FROM 5 ABL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN 2015! In 2014/15 we enjoyed the fifth season of the "second coming" of the Australian Baseball League. Once again 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. As usual these teams comprised many of the best local players with the addition of international imports from the USA, Japan, Taipei and Korea mainly. Having said that, some of our very best Australian professional talent either did not play or played only part of the season as a worrying trend. To continue their elected path, only the Melbourne Aces hosted Japanese professional imports for the 2015 season. The remainder of this paragraph is a repeat from last season, but my opinion has not changed and, moreover, it is stronger than ever. The Japanese players had only a modest impact before, as dictated, packing up to return home at Christmas time. 'Flintoff & Dunn' has probably said enough about the overall value of importing Japanese players into our ABL, especially given that they are unable to stay the course of the full season. Regardless of what philosophical advantage there may be for our league to have some Japanese "connection", there is sufficient evidence that the Japanese import players provide very little value to the club(s) that host them. It is more of a detraction and a distraction to replace these players mid-season. More frustrating for Melbourne fans in 2015 was the fact that the team was already slipping out of contention and there was no attempt to find adequate replacements. Canberra, out of necessity, were once again dominated by American import players while all of the other teams had a healthy contingent of US professional imports. Perth again set the bar very high with the quality of their imports, adding former major leaguers Mike McClendon and Rene Tosoni to the returning Gold Glove star Joey Wong who gave the team valuable continuity. To maintain their history in the modern ABL era the Sydney Blue Sox again relied less on import pitching. In its fifth season, the ABL stayed with virtually the same schedule that they adopted for the 2014 season with 48 (up from 46) regular season games spread over 13 weekend series. Again each club played every other club "home and away" with one additional home and away series against a selected opponent. This again produced an unbalanced schedule, but at least the opponents were rotated on this occasion from 2014. The season started with a "softer" schedule where each team had an early season bye round. All series were scheduled for four games in 2014/15. 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. Although they remained on the schedule in some instances there seemed to be a growing reluctance to schedule double header openings in favour of mainly single night games. Rained-out and/or postponed games were re- scheduled to be added to weekend programs for the return series between the same teams. The ABL also stuck with the "Top Three" playoffs format. 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. All playoff series were best-of-three although there was one minor "wrinkle" for the 2015 Semi-Final series. With Perth seeded to host Sydney, the Blue Sox hosted the opening game at Blacktown then travelled to Perth for the other two games, if required. There was no third game required because the Heat swept the series 2-0. Unfortunately television coverage of ABL games was again virtually non-existent during the regular season, although the Championship series games were televised live on FOXTEL. On a more positive note the ABL did arrange a very broad coverage of games throughout the season via various internet streaming platforms. ABLtv and iiNet provided live streaming coverage of the majority of games which, by all reports, attracted good numbers of viewers around the country.

  • 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,
