First and foremost, congratulations to Hawkes Bay CA for arranging this Tournament against all odds and Covid 19! And a thanks to the Hawkes Bay weather, too – games were on grass pitches, unobtainable in Auckland. Here, our season proper isn’t going to start till Saturday, 31 October – 3 weeks later that what was once the norm. Ben Rae – 71 vs Napier OB Marist and 84 in the Final vs Taita The Final – Parnell batting at Nelson Park, Napier The Parnell team wasn’t at full strength – Black Caps and Aces Lockie Ferguson, Mark Chapman, Will Somerville, Corey Anderson, Ben Horne, Ollie Pringle all absent. Also Prem regular Ganesh Ratnasabapathy and returnee Henry King remained in Auckland and aided our Reserves. But youngsters Nathan Robinson and Sam Jenkin did travel, given opportunities and will have learned plenty from the experience of the trip away. To win all 5 games was a great start to the Season and, hopefully, a sign of great cricket to come. Back in Auckland - Our Prem Reserves Parnell Prem Reserves vs North Shore - Parnell lost to North Shore by 1 run It may have been a loss but Coach Roy Goodyear was full of praise for his Team that included a number of schoolboys. According to Roy long time stalwarts Ganesh Ratnasabapathy, Henry King, Will Ormiston and Simon Walker all performed well aided hugely by Varun Garg and Harry Sinclair with the bat. Varun – your running between the wickets was complimented as was your 2nd wicket stand of 75 with newcomer Michael Fourie. Michael, welcome to Parnell and well batted, too. Max Chaplin impressed with his chinamen and Charles Wilkes excelled behind the stumps – a catch and 2 stumpings. Obviously a marvellous game of cricket and strong prospects for the future. Roy Goodyear On rather a sad note we now farewell Roy as a contracted coach at Parnell. Roy has resigned but is still available for private coaching in addition to his continuing duties with Auckland Cricket. Roy joined us at Parnell some 5 years ago bringing a wealth of coaching experience to us after highly successful stints at, first St Kentigern and then King’s Colleges. At King’s, in particular, Roy took their 1st XI to successive Gillette Cup wins in 2010 and 2011. Notable players who excelled under his watch were Mark Chapman and Ben Horne and one doesn’t have to comment further about their further exploits for Parnell and beyond. Nathan Williamson, Tom Urry and Simon Hickey were others who excelled under Roy’s watch at King’s. At Parnell, Roy has given sage mentorship to many, particularly to our Premier Reserves over the last two seasons. Of great help to Skipper Razin, he also mentored a number of players – Will Ormiston and Giacomo Lamplough both hit 180s last season helped by his encouragement. Roy, thank you for sharing your wealth of cricketing knowledge and experience with us – including reminicences of your playing career in Rhodesia/Zimbawe and then Natal in the company of contemporary legends such as Barry Richards, the Pollock brothers and Mike Proctor. A farewell in one respect, we still look forward to seeing you back at the TJC, feeding the bowling machine, and, from the Shore Road boundary, watching your protegees excel with bat and ball. This Coming Weekend – Parnell Prems vs Upper Hutt CC at Shore Road Three Men’s Premier Games Friday, 9/10 T20 3.00 pm Bar will be open and a BBQ will follow the game Saturday, 10/10 50/50 10.00 am Bar open from 4.00pm and , again, a BBQ will follow Sunday, 11/10 T20 10.00 am - COME DOWN TO SHORE ROAD OVER THE WEEKEND AND ENJOY THE CRICKET AND CLUB FELLOWSHIP! [All members welcome to the BBQs but please rsvp by email [email protected] to assist with catering] Congratulations to Ian West, Now an NZC High Performance Coach Back in August, Ian completed his New Zealand Cricket High Performance Coach programme, a process which had been going on for the last two years. There are only 16 in NZ with this qualification and it`s the equivalent of ECB`s level 4 coaching certificate. Congratulations Ian – wonderful news , your coaching expertise will be of enormous benefit to Parnell and, in particular, our players who receive your tuition. Our Premier Women – Message from Coach Henry Cameron The Premier and Reserve Women’s teams have been putting in a huge amount of work in the off season. We have been having great numbers turning up to Monday nights trainings since late July. The players are off to Whangarei this weekend for a preseason fixture and then away to Papatoetoe the following week for more warm up games. The first round starts off against Takapuna, away on the 31st of October. We are still looking for female cricketers to fill spots throughout the season. If you are a beginner to a seasoned pro then we want to hear from you.

Covid 19 has a lot to answer for!! Finally those great performances of the past 2019/20 Season will be properly recognised and, hopefully, inspire the trophy recipients to even greater deeds in 2020/21. And, just as hopefully, inspire others to emulate those winners with their own outstanding performances.

Anyone recognisable in the crowd? Terry Jarvis and Mark Burgess were members and your Editor had just joined the Club. Update 189 - Quiz – Answers It is some while since we have had a quiz but some questions came to mind during lockdown. QUESTION 1. Test cricket is the ultimate challenge to cricketers and, for most batsmen, their reputation is made or broken by their performances in their first 10 Test innings.

  • New Zealand Vs India 2020
    Published 28.1.20 Dream start to multi-format tour for India; younger players take centre-stage Two convincing wins achieved on the same pitch that behaved completely differently in the two matches in Eden Park have given India a vice-like grip over New Zealand in the Twenty20 International series. This dream start to the multi-format tour is indicative of the mindset and fighting spirit of this Indian team. I was impressed by what Virat said leading into the series – that despite a hard-fought three-match ODI series against Australia, the long flight to Auckland, the short turnaround time and entirely different conditions, his side wasn’t going to be looking for excuses, that they would be switched on from ball one of the first T20I. That speaks to the attitude of the unit as a whole, and it manifested itself in the brand of cricket they played over the weekend. The first game called for a furious assault on a target of 204, the second needed a more pragmatic approach after New Zealand were restricted to 132. India were clinical in both encounters, the same set of batsmen delivering the goods. It wasn’t the usual match-winners who came up trumps. Instead, and heart-warmingly with the larger picture in mind, KL Rahul and ShreyasIyer reinforced their coming of age at this level, taking up the responsibility of piloting the side home. Rahul’s talent has never been in doubt since he broke through towards the end of 2014. He seemed to have lost his way a- bit but in the last few months, since being dropped from the Test team, he has gone back and - had a hard look at himself, and has returned stronger, more organised and in control of his plans.

  • History of DHS Old Boys Cricket Club - 1967 to Present by Grayson Heath
    History of DHS Old Boys Cricket Club - 1967 to present By Grayson Heath The Cricket Section of the DHS Old Boys Club remains the oldest and most enduring of the Club’s sporting sections – oldest because it was formed when the Club first opened and it remains in action today, alongside the Running Section, as the DHS Rhythm Cricket Club based at the Old Boys Club. The Cricket Section’s transformation from a section of the Old Boys Club closed to all but old boys of DHS to the present DHS Rhythm is probably a microcosm of the changing country in which we live. In the late 1960’s the Old Boys Club was opened to cater for ‘selected’ members that would strengthen the sporting sections and over time the economic benefits of accepting all and sundry as members became a reality and the stage was set for the Cricket Section to respond to the changing economic and social times and thus ensured its survival. Not surprisingly, since DHS is probably the greatest cricketing school in the world, Old Boys cricket has always been strong and were perennial contenders for the League Title through to the late 1990’s with players like Barry Richards, Vince van der Bijl, Dale Benkenstein, Chris Wilkins, Darryl Scott, Neil Harvey, Dave Orchard, Kenny Cooper, Ian Tayfield, Bomber Warman, Kevin Robinson, Kurt Donaldson, Geoff Griffin, Pat Schultz, Peter Dodds, Dennis Gamsy, Colin Wesley, Richard Dumbrill, Barry Moody, Grayson Heath gracing the team over the years amongst a host of other fine players ensuring their constant competitiveness for league honours.

  • St George District Cricket Club Was Founded As a Subdistrict Club in 1911 Under the Auspices of the NSW Cricket Association, the President of St George DCC Being Mr J
    St George District Cricket Club was founded as a subdistrict club in 1911 under the auspices of the NSW Cricket Association, the President of St George DCC being Mr J. Lister. Hurstville Oval at that time was not an enclosed ground - despite persistent pressure on the Council. The original area of Hurstville Park (of seven acres) was bought from the McMahon Estate in the early years of the century, and vested in the council. The ground was fenced, planted and developed by cricket lovers over a period of several years - and in 1911 famous Australian left-hander Warren Bardsley brought an invitation X1 to Hurstville Oval to play the St. George district team, on the official opening day. St George began playing in First Grade in 1921 and then competed in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade competitions. They also entered teams in Shires competition in 1926 and continued to play teams in that competition from 1926 to 1947 and again from 1965 to 1968. A 4th grade team had begun to play in 1934 and has continued to the present with a break from 1940 to 1948. With the introduction of 5th grade in 1969 there was no further participation in the Shires competition. Currently, St George DCC Inc fields teams in the 1st to 5th grade competitions, the Poidevin-Gray Shield (Under 21), the A.W.Green Shield (Under 16) and the 1st Grade Limited Overs competition. St George’s best known player is of course Sir Donald Bradman who came to the club in 1926 and later stayed at the Rockdale home of then club secretary Mr F.

  • Issue 40: Summer 2009/10
    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.
