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.

  • 'Slats' to Seven
    ‘Slats’ to Seven ___________________________________________________ Michael Slater to commentate Tests and BBL ___________________________________________________ (22 June, 2018) Australia’s former swashbuckling opener Michael Slater, is set to join Australia’s new home of cricket, Channel 7. Slater was Australia’s aggressive stroke-playing star at the top of the order for a decade, including during the team’s golden run of success where they won a record 16 consecutive Tests in a row. He has brought an upbeat, vibrant and fun style to his commentary that fans have enjoyed. Michael Slater commented: “I’m thrilled to be joining Channel 7. I’ve been a long-time fan of their sports coverage - particularly live sport - and can’t wait to join the new team and help give Test cricket and the Big Bash a fresh look and approach.” Channel 7 Head of Cricket Dave Barham said: “We’re absolutely rapt to have Slats join our team. He is a class broadcaster who will bring experience to our Test coverage, and all his trade mark energy to our BBL.” The Slater signing follows the announcement recently that Australia’s highest ever run-scorer, Ricky Ponting, and ‘The Bowlologist’ Damien Fleming will call Test matches and BBL on Seven. Seven’s historic six-year agreement with Cricket Australia runs from 2018 through to 2024, includes domestic free-to-air broadcast rights to all the Test Matches as well as 43 of the 59 BBL matches each season. For the first time, Test Matches and BBL will be all at the one place - the Seven Network - the new home of Australian Cricket.

  • Article 25 March 29 . 2013
    ARTICLE 25 MARCH 29TH. 2013 South Barwon was the “sentimental favourite” last weekend to win its first GCA Division One premiership for 36 years but East-Belmont swept all aside to win its 7th. flag,6/278 to 195 all seven premierships gathered since South Barwon won its last flag in 1975-76. East has a “strike rate” of a premiership every 6.7 seasons since it joined the competition in 1966-67 whilst South’s strike rate with its 5 flags is a premiership every 10.8 seasons, its five flags achieved during its 15 seasons “golden era” between 1961-62 to 1976-77. It was East-Belmont’s 10th straight consecutive win this season and South’s first loss in its last 9 games. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX South Barwon’s loss would have been particularly disappointing for champion batsman, Clinton Peake whose record 8855 runs @ 42.2 at Geelong Cricket Club over 17 seasons failed to deliver a 1st.X1 premiership, his 869 runs @ a commanding 96.6 this season a South Barwon record and the fourth highest in GCA history behind Jack Sing (944 runs @ 118.0 for Geelong West in 1948-49), Len Metherell (928 runs @ 77.3 for Geelong Footballers in 1935-36) and Michael Bowtell (882 runs @ 73.5 for Newtown & Chilwell in 1979-80). XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Andrew Baars , a member of East-Belmont’s last premiership in 2005-06 proved he was a “big occasion player” in that finals series with 55 in that qualifying final, 73 in the semi and the brilliant double of 84 &6/49 in that grand final and did so again in this years grand final with the mixed fortunes of being dismissed for 99.

Kingborough had led for the early part of the season but following from the Christmas break, the Roos have edged ahead narrowly. The club championship reflects the overall position of the clubs within the CTPL, taking into account all CTPL grades, male and female. There is a tight tussle in the middle of the ladder also with North Hobart continuing to build and move into third position ahead of Lindisfarne and University. There are still plenty of points up for grabs with two-day cricket featuring heavily for the remainder of the season. Lord Taverners Spirit of Cricket Award The Spirit of Cricket ladder is as tight as ever with the averages of 2nd place through to 5th place separated by only 0.07 points. Competition new comers, Greater Northern, are in the box seat with Kingborough and University hot on their tails. Clubs are rated after each game on three aspects with the average rating across all games played by the club in all grades determining the final victor. To have 9 clubs with an average above 6 reflects that the competition is being played in the right spirit.

    Gordon District Cricket Club Inc. 115TH ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-2020 SEASON FOUNDED 1905 2 GORDON DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB INC. ANNUAL REPORT & FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019-2020 GORDON DISTRICT CRICKET CLUB INC. 3 Message from the President If one measures overall club performance purely by playing performances, Gordon had a relatively poor season. We slid to 12th on the club championship (from 8th the season before) and for the first time in several years we did not qualify for any grade or Metro Cup finals. In the end it was probably fortunate, given the season was cruelly cut short with the emerging impact of COVID-19. Our stand-out performance was our Poidevin-Gray side that played excellent cricket all season only to put in their only poor performance, being well beaten by UTS North Sydney, in the preliminary final of the competition. There is no doubt we are in a re-building phase within the club, with four of our top six bats in 1st grade retiring in the Geoff Hickman past two seasons. The positive is we have some excellent young players coming through and this has been shown by the performance of our Poidevin- Gray and Green Shield teams over the past few years. We need to nurture these players and if so, I have confidence they will become strong 1st grade players over the coming seasons. One performance I am very proud of, is the winning of the Spirit of Cricket award for the third time. Club culture was an important focal point for the club last season and this message was embraced by our playing group.
