Newsflash – July 2009 A YEAR IN THE ROLE OF ICC EAP DEVELOPMENT OFFICER Charlie Burke reflects on his first 12 months with ICC EAP I t is over a year now since I moved to the sports capital of Australia (Melbourne) from the golden city (Perth) to start my r ole as the ICC EAP Regional Development Officer (RDO). Although I have officially lived in Melbourne for 13 months, I h ave travelled for more than 150 days in o ur region. W hat is the honest truth about working for the ICC EAP development team? To sum it up, it has had many challenges, s ome cultural and some logistical, but overall it has been motivating, encouraging and most of all enjoyable. ICC EAP Regional Development Officer Charlie Burke with Vanuatu stars Pierre Chilia and Andrew Mansale. M y first trip was back in July 2008 to visit PNG for their finals of the Super Series (Constantinou Shield) and spend some t ime with the Cricket PNG staff. Since then I have travelled to Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Vanuatu, the Philippines and F iji, and have met some fantastic and inspiring people. I have had the opportunity to visit kids playing cricket for the first t ime in an orphanage and to witness first hand their learning of what a great game it is; work with elite players and coaches a t Cricket Australia’s Centre of Excellence; meet volunteers that have never seen a live game of professional cricket but h ave been involved in the game for twenty plus years. Along with these opportunities I have had the chance to try some lo cal cuisines like Beetlenut, Kava and fried chicken hearts and necks. However, one thing I will NEVER try is Balut, a c hicken egg with a nearly-developed embryo! D uring my short time with the ICC EAP development team the EAP office and NCBs have achieved many things including t he following: employed 7 General Managers, 5 High Performance Managers/National Coaches and many other staff in varying positions both Full Time and Part Time, 10 coaches attending the AC&D seminar in 2008 8 coaches presenting a Level 1 course, our first indigenous coach attending the Level 3 coaching course in Australia, 6 coaches attending Level 2 courses through the State/Provence Partnership Program, 3 coaches announced as scholarship coaches, Formation of the EAP Coaches Association, launched by Greg Chappell, Visits to Fiji and Vanuatu by Victorian Bushranger Chris Rogers and Central Districts’ Bevan Griggs respectively, Very successful and well-attended EAP tournaments, the U19s in Port Moresby and the U15s in Jakarta, providing our members the opportunity to showcase their facilities, 8 debut players/coaches competing with the EAP team in the Australian Country Cricket Championships, Over 11 player placements in New Zealand/Australia along with 4 players attending and training with the Australian and New Zealand Women’s sides in preparation for the ICC Women’s World Cup in Sydney earlier this year. T hough important to acknowledge the achievements that the EAP family have made, we also have an exciting, yet demanding next few months. Samoa will host the ICC EAP Men’s Trophy in September, whilst New Zealand Cricket will h ost the High Performance Managers meeting in October followed by the Advanced Coaching and Development seminar. N ovember will be an equally busy month with the EAP Squad camps in Brisbane at Cricket Australia’s Centre of E xcellence. This will provide players the opportunity to train and work with some of the best coaches in the world as well as p lay two one day games and a twenty20 fixture. I n closing I would like to thank everyone for their support to date and look forward to the coming events as we strive to be the number one region in the globe.

The decline had perhaps begun as early as the 1999 World Cup final, and peaked during the 2003 World Cup tournament and it became more obvious in the aftermath of the twin series defeats against India at home in early 2004. The services of Bob Woolmer as coach were acquired by the Pakistan Cricket Board in an effort to ensure that the team came up with improved performance and did justice with the loads of talent. The move has paid dividends.
