Paul Kougias Community Sports and Grants Coordinator, Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL 2 | Marrickville Cricket Club Season Report 2016-17 President’s report 2016-17 was a good season for MCC It was the best of seasons, it was the wettest of seasons... Plenty of good cricket, but too much rain for my liking. Over 500 cricketers played with MCC this season – enjoying our great game across fields (and puddles) of the Inner West. We’re a strong club with good links to our local community. We have a great relationship with our local senior grade clubs Randwick Petersham CC and University Women’s CC. And MCC is fortunate to have two generous, solid sponsors in Sydney Airport and Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL. We are grateful for their ongoing support. We had 25 teams in CWSCA and Sydney Thunder Girls comps, which is more than double the number of teams we had six years ago. We now have a record seven U9 MCC and Marrickville Council helped 16 parents get teams, with 80% of players coming from Milo or Level 1 Coaching Certificates – an investment in T20. Added to that, we had 120 Milo cricketers at player, team and coach confidence. Tempe and at our new centre in Erskineville, and 90 T20 blasters.

Our eight-week season was cut a little short with the appalling wet weather we had during March. From heat waves to thunder storms, we experienced it all in 2017. MCC had 84 players registered, which is down on the last two years, but there were plenty of keen players who brought lots of personality. It was pleasing to see returning MCC players, some whom had come from Milo In2Cricket, and others who were augmenting their club duties with a bit of fun on a Friday. We also had a good handful of girls playing, many of whom I hope will play club for MCC during 2017-2018. Even with a shortened season, skills were learnt, practiced and it is surprising how quickly some children improve. We were joined in the Skill Zone by Jed and Chloe, who work with Cricket NSW to deliver and carers of MCC players. Most people were programs through schools, camps and clubs. They quite willing to help out by umpiring, scoring, brought a good deal of enthusiasm to our Friday helping to coordinate the batting side and packing evenings and certainly made some friends within up.

Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

SEVENTY-ONE NOT OUT THE REMINISCENCES OF WILLIAM CAFFYN MEMBER OP THE ALL ENGLAND AND UNITED ELEVENS, OF THE SURREY COUNTY ELEVEN, OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN TEAM OF 1859, AND OF THE ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN TEAMS OF l86l AND 1863 EDITED BY “MID-ON” WILLIAM BLACKWOOD AND SONS EDINBURGH AND LONDON MDCCCXCIX All Rights reserved TO GENERAL SIR FREDERICK MARSHALL, K.C.M.G., AN ARDENT AND GENEROUS SUPPORTER OF THE NOBLE GAME OF CRICKET. — PREFACE. I have lived to the age of seventy-one (hence the title of this work), and until some six months ago the writing of my reminiscences never occurred to me. Indeed had it not been for the fact of my meeting with an old friend—almost accidentally the ensuing pages would never have been written. Like most cricketers, I have unfortunately kept comparatively few records of my long career. Luckily I am possessed of an excellent memory, and with this and the aid of many an old volume kindly lent to me by various gentlemen I have been able to complete my somewhat difficult task. I have given a short sketch of the state of the national game at the time of my birth; how I learnt both batting and bowling when a boy ; have described my connection with Clarke’s old All England Eleven, and afterwards with the United; Vlii PREFACE. my visit with the first team to America in 1859; with Stephenson’s team to Australia in 1861, and with Parr’s more famous one in 1863; have given an account of my seven years’ residence in the Antipodes, and the close of my career after my return to England in 1871.

We generate batting partnership network (BPN) for different teams and determine the exact values of clustering coefficient, average degree, average shortest path length of the networks and compare them with the Erd¨os-R´enyi model. We observe that the networks display small-world behavior. We find that most connected batsman is not necessarily the most central and most central players are not necessarily the one with high batting averages. We study the community structure of the BPNs and identify each player’s role based on inter-community and intra-community links. We observe that Sir DG Bradman, regarded as the best batsman in Cricket history does not occupy the central position in the network − the so-called connector hub. We extend our analysis to quantify the performance, relative importance and effect of removing a player from the team, based on different centrality scores. Keywords: Complex network; Small world behavior; Centrality scores; Cricket. Introduction In recent years there has been an increase in study of activities involving team sports. Time series analysis have been applied to football [1, 2], baseball [3, 4], basketball [5, 6, 7] and soccer [8, 9].
