  • Miranda Magpies 2019/20 Yearbook We Are Greatly Indebted to Our Sponsors and Thank Them for Their Continued Support Throughout the 2019/20 Season
    Miranda Magpies 2019/20 Yearbook We are greatly indebted to our sponsors and thank them for their continued support throughout the 2019/20 season. In turn, we ask our club members to support each of them. Executive Office Bearers Life Members President Scott Taylor Glen Lord, Flo Foster, Bill Secretary Peter Briscoe Foster, Ken Gardener, Paul Treasurer Paul Easton Soady, Ken Prendergast, Trevor Vice President Mark Easton McGregor, Gordon Johnston, Junior Registrar Gerard Burgess Mark Easton, Mario Senior Registrar Paul Easton Racomelara and Ray Davies. Equipment Officer Shane Murray Clothing Officer Gerard Burgess We are very grateful to Grill’d Miranda for providing our player of the match awards. President’s and Secretary’s Report The 2019/20 season was a complicated one by anyone’s standards. Heatwaves, bushfires and torrential rain led to cancelled training sessions and entire matches, but we just managed to scrape in finals games literally days before the COVID shutdown, so I suppose we can say we were lucky. With the committee now seasoned veterans of club management, having been in the gig for all of one season, I feel like we’re slowly managing to keep the ship on course with a little more consistency. But honestly, we’re probably responsible for all of 1% of the clubs success. The absolute vast majority of credit for the successful season goes to the volunteer coaches, managers, scorers, yearbook collaborators (thanks Janelle!), as well as parents and most importantly the players themselves. A positive start to the season is always a good thing, and a gain of 20 players to the club from last season was an excellent way to kick it off.

  • Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B
    Sri Lankan Journal of Applied Statistics, Vol (14-1) Performance Analysis of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 Ananda B. W. Manage*, Stephen M. Scariano and Cecil R. Hallum Sam Houston State University Huntsville, Texas, USA 77341 Corresponding Author (Email: [email protected]) Received: 13 February 2013 / Revised: 15 May 2013 ABSTRACT Performance analysis of cricket players is always an intricate task due to the correlated nature of the variables used to quantify contributions to the team. Lack of transparency of current methods, probably due to commercial confidentiality, creates a necessity for new and lucent evaluative methods. Here, we present a simple, yet straightforward, method for analyzing the performance of T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 players that can be easily adapted to other team sports. Keywords: Cricket, Principal Component Analysis, Ranking Methods. 1. Introduction Quantifying individual player contributions to a team is an important yet difficult task in all team sports. Usually, there are several indicators available to measure player performances, which are based on different aspects of their contributions to the team. Unfortunately these indicators are mostly related to each other in a manner that oftentimes causes difficulty in constructing an overall performance measure. Our idea is to use a tool acquired from multivariate statistical analysis and apply it directly to T20-World Cup Cricket 2012 data. In this method, the first principal component is used to rank batsmen and bowlers. The technique is simple and can be directly applied to the type of correlated data routinely found in team sports such as cricket. Cricket administrators and sports analysts can use this amenable method to quantify players’ contribution, which could lead to a ranking structure based on their performances.

  • It Was Seriously Mid That the Wanderen Controversy Cost Thc United Party
    12. AVE ATQUE VALE 1943-1968 It was seriously mooted that the Wanderers controversy cost the United Party the 1948 election. Public opinion, earlier antagonistic to the Clubs resisting Railway intrusion in 1927, rallied almost unanimously on the side of the City Council and its protégé. It was not only the people who protested but the lessors who purveyed public amusement—the African Greyhound Racing Association, the cricket and soccer unions and athletics (tennis and rugby had gone to Ellis Park) and the incidental impresarios of all kinds. Public petitions were signed and in July 1943, the Johannesburg Publicity Association on the instruction of its Executive Committee issued a bilingual brochure SAVE THE WANDERERS. “It is the cradle of traditions which cannot be transplanted”, purple prose pronounced, “The front ground is hallowed by a thousand memories of great incidents and occasions. It has witnessed scenes from the days of President Kruger onwards which are the warp and woof of Rand history. Let us save this enviable civic possession.” Sturrock halted in his stride and appointed an overseas railway expert, Major-General Szlumper to survey the situation. Optimistically the Club anticipated a favourable report and proposed substantial alterations including the demolition of the old Club House and the erection of modern premises. The development of Kent Park continued, hampered by wartime restrictions, but a growing number of members made use of its tennis courts, golf course and playing fields. In the press of the moment, no one noticed that the Club’s founding chairman and original debenture holder, W. P. Taylor, had died.

Yet, a pre-season tournament in 2008 featuring the two glamour soccer clubs of South Africa, Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates, and the global brand of Manchester United, revealed a racially fractured soccer fandom that contradicted these notions of national unity through soccer.
