Thank you to everyone for your efforts throughout the year and for capturing it in this report. 2 PLEASE ENJOY The 2019/20 season is in many ways the beginning of a powerful and united purpose between our wonderful volunteers and Cricket NSW. A shared love of cricket has been the foundation for a great year as staff worked closely with Clubs, Associations and Schools across NSW and ACT to grow the game. Whether it be by introducing kids to cricket for the first time, supporting clubs to be vibrant and welcoming places within their community, assisting coaches and parents help young talent be the best they can be or planning for crickets future with emerging formats, facility upgrades or technology to make volunteers lives easier, our commitment is strong, and the rewards are many. We are committed to ensure all Australians can enjoy cricket no matter who they are or where they are from, and often the work we do is in parts of our community where cricket may not have been or played. Much of what we do is not recorded, it doesn’t show in stats or participation figures, but it is vitally important if we want to ensure cricket continues to be Australia’s sport of choice. But it does show on the faces of those who are experiencing that first moment of love for the game. The joy of taking a wicket for the first time. The satisfaction of hitting that first boundary. The exhilaration of winning a tough game with your friends. Those are the things that make cricket special, and we want as many people to experience that as we can. We want Clubs to be strong. We want players of all ages to make friends, make runs and take wickets like their family and friends before them. We also know that cricket today may not be the cricket of yesterday and we will continue to work with all Clubs as we enter the future of our sport together. Community Cricket is a long game. We aren’t trying to do it all today, and we certainly don’t think we can do it alone. Our volunteers are the life blood, and our role is to support and lead those people who give up their time to allow others to enjoy the game. We want to make it easier for you, and help you grow your clubs and competitions. And there is a lot we can do to make that happen. A YEAR IN COMMUNITY CRICKET 2019/20 is a glimpse into the wide and varied work the Cricket NSW Community Cricket team has done across NSW and ACT in the 2019/20 season. More than just school visits, the CNSW Community Cricket team genuinely lives the purpose of “inspiring everyone to play and love cricket” while providing leadership and support to our wonderful volunteers and communities. Please enjoy a small glimpse into some of the wonderful successes and experiences that cricket has had during 2019/20 and we look forward to working harder than ever with our communities to ensure cricket is strong in NSW and ACT for many years to come. Ivan Spyrdz General Manager CNSW Community Cricket 3 OUR 19/20 PRiORiTiES To ensure the Australian Community Cricket We agree to stay the course on junior cricket (ELP, provided a focused and united approach to Girls, Junior Format’s) with an enhanced focus on collective success in growing cricket across diversity, indoor opportunities, coaching, marketing and better coordinating W/BBL & international cricket Australia, the 2019/20 Community Cricket opportunities.

We will plan and execute the agreed legacy initiatives for the ICC T20 World Cup. We will make it easier for clubs to run cricket by supporting them to introduce online registration for all juniors and increasing the adoption of electronic scoring through the App. 4 It was becoming more and more obvious that as cricket’s popularity continues to rise in the homes across NSW, we were missing something. Something that when pointed out became obvious. A large part of our community was not being looked after. A group of people so important to cricket in so many ways, we often took them for granted, never putting two and two together thinking they too may want to play, but in a different way. THEiR WAY In recognition of a significant gap With 12 teams under lights at a Northern Districts Cricket Club took in cricket offerings for females over Premier Cricket Ground and with the opportunity to give back to their 16 years of age, Cricket NSW in team names like “Got the Runs” community through cricket and partnership with Northern Districts and “Pitch Perfect” a top-quality must be congratulated for being Cricket Club hosted the first Sixers experience was all but guaranteed. leaders in this space.

  • Acs Statistics Logistics Sub-Group
    ACS STATISTICS LOGISTICS SUB-GROUP In October 2020 the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians (ACS) created a Statistics Logistics sub-group containing, as follows, representatives of the ACS committee, members of the Association plus members of the scoring and umpiring community in both the professional and recreational game: Andrew Hignell (Chair); Philip Bailey; Sue Drinkwater; Ric Finlay; David Kendix; Douglas Miller; Harriet Monkhouse; Chris O’Brien and Rajiv Radhakrishnan. The remit of this sub-group has been to discuss and advise the ACS General Committee on such matters relating to the recording or calculation of cricket statistics, besides assisting in the preparation and issue of formal guidance or advice to statisticians at all levels of the game, plus informing others (e.g. trainee umpires/scorers) and answering any subsequent enquiries which may arise. Discussions have subsequently taken place, via email and in a virtual way via ZOOM, on an initial batch of questions – as outlined below – with the sub-group reaching a series of answers as well as producing a short narrative explaining their stance and how their decision was agreed upon. In reaching this viewpoint, the sub-group have drawn on playing conditions and match regulations, including those produced by the ICC, ECB and other governing bodies, as well as considering statisticians' preferences and the way that scoring software has been set up for use in the modern game. The sub-group's responsibilities have not only been to look at what does happen, but what should happen – allowing the ACS to recommend and advise that changes to current practice could potentially be made, either to make the current practice more sensible, or simply to ensure consistency in its operation and application.
