    CRICKET HONG KONG President’s report Treasurer’s report Director’s report Independent auditor’s report Financial statement Exco attendence Men’s coach report Women’s squad report Development Hong Kong T20 Blitz Domestic cricket CONTENT President’s report Overall one would have to describe the past year as being somewhat disappointing compared to our expectations at the beginning of the year. After experiencing several years of strong, positive financial growth, together with ever improving National Team results, combined with a steady League organization and strong development programs, our expectations were high for 2016/17. Both national sides, Men’s and Women’s, played exceptionally well in the tournaments they were in during the year. We invested heavily in people and marketing expenses throughout the year and despite a strong objective that we would still make reasonable money by year end, we did not achieve that target which was disappointing. Partly as a result of our over ambitious and not thoroughly researched and executed dream of using the Guangzhou Stadium as a ground, the prioritizing of League fixtures fitting into the National Team program, plus the loss of our previous Cricket Operations Manager at the start of the 2016/17 League planning process, we ended up with an ever changing League and games schedule which was frankly very frustrating to many, and we must apologize for the scheduling difculties in which our local Leagues operated last year. There is a determination for a complete change in this area and, with the experience of our failure last season, every efort will be made by all concerned in ensuring our League programs for 2017/18 are sustainable, logical, and fair to all the parties in our Association’s “Three Legged Stool”.

    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Frank Bailey Shaun Udal NEWSLETTER No. 288 – FEBRUARY 2009 MEETINGS Wednesday 11 February 2009 – Meeting The Society is delighted to welcome back ALLAN STUTTARD to this evening’s meeting. He previously addressed the Society at Portsmouth Rugby Club in October 1998. On that occasion, he captivated his audience with his informed account of Lancashire League cricket, especially during the Golden Age of the 1950s and 1960s, when the most famous names in the world of cricket came to ply their trade in the two Leagues. Our speaker enjoyed a 46 year playing career in the Lancashire League, first with Todmorden, birthplace of the immortal Derek Shackleton, and then with nearby Walsden. He is now Cricket Chairman of Walsden Cricket and Bowling Club and President of the Central Lancashire League – quite an honour for a Yorkshireman! He was clearly an outstanding cricketer in his playing days, once hitting Gary Sobers for two sixes in an over. He is now an acclaimed After Dinner Speaker. Besides cricket, his other subject is Industrial Archaeology.

Chapter 2 considers the decision problem of when to declare during the third innings of a test cricket match. There are various factors that affect the decision of the declaring team including the target score, the number of overs remaining, the relative desire to win versus draw, and the scoring characteristics of the particular match. Decision rules are developed and these are assessed against historical matches. We observe that there are discrepancies between the optimal time to declare and what takes place in practice.

Public facilities currently available for playing cricket 2. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) currently provides two designated venues for 11-a-side cricket matches, namely the natural turf pitch at Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground, and the artificial turf pitch at Po Kong Village Road Park, both of which are also used as football grounds. The two pitches are available for hire by the Hong Kong Cricket Association (HKCA), which is the “national sports association” (NSA) responsible for developing the sport in Hong Kong, and by other organisations for holding cricket training or competitions. 3. To help meet an increasing demand for venues for playing cricket, LCSD has prepared a set of guidelines for the hire of turf football pitches for playing sports such as cricket, that involve batting. The department has made three artificial turf football pitches available for such hire, namely: Man Tung Road Park in Islands District, Wu Shan Recreation Playground in Tuen Mun, and Kwong Fuk Football Ground in Tai Po. LCSD has produced a set of guidelines on playing such sports at its turf pitches to ensure safety. 4. To promote cricket at the district level, LCSD has also designated a number of hard-surfaced mini-football pitches for free use by organisations to play “tape-ball” cricket.
