Round 1: NSW Blues vs Tasmania 30 October - 2 November 2013, Blacktown International Sportspark With a star-studded line-up that included Australian captain Michael Clarke, the NSW Blues were favourites to kick off their Shield campaign with a win. The Blacktown wicket has been renowned for not breaking up so Michael Clarke decided to bat first after winning the toss. At 3-218, things looked rosy with Clarke (88) leading the charge, but a collapse saw the last seven wickets fall for 70 runs to leave the game in the balance. The Tasmanian response was solid but it was Doug Bollinger who made the headlines. Looking fit and bowling around 140 km/h, the left-armer produced a mid-afternoon spell that caused several batsmen to get hit, including Ben Dunk (4), who trod on his stumps. With a first innings lead of 49, the Blues had the chance to put the game out of reach but they were undone by the spin of Clive Rose, despite half-centuries from Scott Henry (65) and Steve Smith (63). A final total of 245 all out meant that the Tigers would need to chase 295 on the final day, making the home side strong favourites. The wicket stayed true, however and at 2-261, requiring a further 35 runs for victory, the game looked over before a major collapse. Stephen O’Keefe and Nathan Lyon took three wickets each to leave the visitors needing another 11 runs with two wickets left. The key to the innings had been Alex Doolan and he was able to hold his composure to finish with a superb 132 not out as the Tigers crept over the line by two wickets. For the Blues it was a disappointing start, but with enough positives to give the season a real sense of hope.

Round 2: Victoria vs NSW Blues 6 - 9 November 2013, Melbourne Cricket Ground In a match that is always a fair indicator of the team’s form, the NSW Blues took first innings points against a strong Bushrangers outfit as time ran out to force a result. With Victoria deciding to bat first on a drop-in wicket that is notorious for offering little pace, it was the spinners Nathan Lyon and Stephen O’Keefe who dictated terms with Sean Abbott providing some crucial breakthroughs in the middle order. Abbott had noticeably changed his run up over the course of the winter under the guidance of bowling coach Geoff Lawson, and he was bowling with more pace as a result, with better balance at the crease. This extra dimension to the Blues attack meant that the Victorian first innings total of 236 looked below par and this was proven correct when centuries to David Warner (104) and Steve Smith (107) helped the visitors to a first innings total of 353 and a lead of 117. Another strong bowling performance was now needed to take control of the match but a 140 run opening partnership between Chris Rogers (117) and Rob Quiney (56) made the match safe. A declaration at 4-356 meant that any sort of run chase was unrealistic with the visitors ending up on 0-94 with Warner unbeaten on 54 and Maddinson on 36.

Further contributions from Scott Henry (60) and Steve Smith (69) resulted in a final total of 386, despite the last seven wickets falling for 94 runs. In reply, it was Queensland who looked unsure about the conditions as Trent Copeland tore through the top order. Copeland has made a habit of bowling the right length and here he pitched the ball up as far as he could to pick up five of the first six Bulls batsmen. He was well supported by the rejuvenated Sean Abbott and Nathan Lyon, who was loving the chance to bowl some overs with his new State. The first innings lead of 164 was a major advantage. Nic Maddinson (72) completed an impressive match and Brad Haddin was able to declare at 8-270 to leave the home side needing an imposing 435 runs for victory. On these occasions only a great start is likely to worry the opposition. The Bulls failed to achieve this, slumping to 6-121 as Copeland, Sandhu and Abbott all took early wickets. From here the result was inevitable and despite a courageous unbeaten 78 from Chris Hartley, the Bulls folded to 284 all out to see the Blues victors by 150 runs. Copeland was named Man-of-the-Match for his seven wickets and the Blues loomed as major contenders for the title.

Round 4: NSW Blues vs Queensland 22 - 25 November 2013, Sydney Cricket Ground The vagaries of the draw meant that the NSW Blues and Queensland matched up in consecutive games with the SCG taking its turn to host the fixture. Once again the Blues dominated proceedings with a remarkable century to Ryan Carters being the highlight. The 23-year-old is a throw-back to openers of yesteryear with his solid defence and watchful manner punctuated by his ability to hit loose balls for boundaries. Carters was the glue in the NSW Blues first innings score of 9-397 declared, with his 154 from 316 balls also his maiden First Class century. He was well supported by Ben Rohrer (61) and captain Peter Nevill (70), as the home side set an imposing target and asked the Bulls to respond. At 3-21 it looked like a repeat of the previous match, but Peter Forrest (97) was able to dig in and looked like reaching a deserved hundred before his friend and former teammate at the Hawkesbury Cricket Club, Stephen O’Keefe, bowled him. The tail kicked in for the visitors and they were able to reach a total of 306 to concede a fist innings deficit of 91. The NSW Blues would now need to set a challenging target and they did this with Carters (67) and Maddinson (67) adding 110 for the first wicket before a series of wickets fell in the chase for quick runs on the final day, with the Blues finally settling on a target of 313 for victory. However the rain would be the winner in the end as the Bulls’ chase ended at 3-123, with both teams frustrated at a lost opportunity to fight for six points.

With the Blundstone Arena wicket having shown a tendency to last, Tasmania were wary that they would need to set a challenging target after winning the toss. Despite consistent contributions from all their batsmen, in particular Ben Dunk (89) and Tim Paine (78), the home side managed a par score of 354 with Stephen O’Keefe again leading the charge for NSW with four wickets. The Blues’ response was sporadic with most batsmen reaching double figures, while only Kurtis Patterson (54) and Trent Copeland (58) could get past the half century mark. A first innings lead of 90 meant that the Tigers were in the box seat and could look to set a difficult target, but the Blues fought back through a superb bowling effort with Sean Abbott (4-36) again showing how far he had come as a strike bowler. After staring down the barrel of a 300-plus chase the visitors were now faced with a target of 255 on the batter-friendly wicket and after Carters and Maddinson (43) added 83 for the first wicket, Scott Henry (76no) helped finish the job. The main plaudits went to Carters though as the gritty right-hander scored an even 100 from 196 balls to help guide the team to a six wicket victory and top position on the Shield ladder.

Round 6: NSW Blues vs South Australia 8 - 11 December 2014, Sydney Cricket Ground With off-spinner Manjot Singh making his First Class debut the NSW Blues were hoping to go into the Christmas break with another confidence boosting win. At 3-271 in the first innings defeat looked unlikely until a lower order collapse saw the home side bowled out for 373, despite impressive innings from Moises Henriques (127) and Ben Rohrer (97). Possessing a strong batting line-up for this form of the game, the Redbacks fought back strongly with former Blue Phillip Hughes looking to prove a point on his return to the SCG. His 118 was the foundation for a tough response of 426 that saw strong contributions from the whole of the top order with Callum Ferguson (80) being particularly impressive. With the momentum that they had gathered throughout the season the Blues were expecting to be able to set a target that would be out of reach of their obdurate opponents, but the unthinkable happened as the home side slumped to 4-48, with only Ben Rohrer (40) showing any resistance. The lower order was also swept away as some sloppy batting and an energetic Redbacks attack bowled the NSW Blues out for 148 to leave a target of only 96 on the final day. Such targets can often prove tricky to chase and this again proved to be the case as early wickets to Sean Abbott reduced the visitors to 3-6, with all the pressure now on the Redbacks. Unfortunately, there were just not enough runs and a cameo from Callum Ferguson (45no) ended the match with the Blues eventually going down by six wickets.

Peter Nevill and Moises Henriques (top); Manjot Singh 22 Round 7: NSW Blues vs Victoria 12 - 15 February 2014, Sydney Cricket Ground This was a remarkable match that showed how dominant the NSW Blues could be when they are firing on all cylinders. It ended with a Bushrangers collapse so severe that many were reaching for the record books to see if it would create history! The start of the match had fewer dramas with the Blues deciding to send the visitors in on an SCG pitch that had plenty of grass cover. Despite reducing their old foes to 4-77, it had not been easy to find the right length on a wicket that offered extravagant movement and Glenn Maxwell (94) provided fireworks in a first innings score of 218. The NSW Blues response was decisive. Sensing the opportunity to put the game out of reach, all batsmen took their time on a wicket that flattened out in the sun to finally declare at 9-452. Both Scott Henry (92) and Kurtis Patterson (94) missed out on well-deserved centuries while skipper Peter Nevill scored his fourth ton in this form of the game, finishing on 100 not out as he decided to give the Bushrangers a tricky half hour to bat at the end of day two. The move proved a winner with the visitors slumping to 3-0, and the procession continued the next morning as the score stumbled to an incredible 6-9. Enter Glenn Maxwell for the second time in the match. He single-handedly took on the Blues attack with some help from Dan Christian (30), blazing a spectacular 127 from 102 balls with seven enormous sixes thrown in. When he was eventually the last man out with the total on 186, his contribution was evident, despite Victoria’s defeat by an innings and 48 runs. Once again the wickets were shared around with Trent Copeland finishing with six for the match, while Josh Hazlewood, Doug Bollinger, Stephen O’Keefe and Sean Abbott were all impressive.

Round 8: Western Australia vs NSW Blues 20 - 23 February 2014, The WACA Ground The challenges of playing at The WACA surfaced for the NSW Blues once again with their batsmen failing to cope with the most extreme wicket on the planet. The start of the match was promising as a Ryan Carters century (104) and another strong contribution from Ben Rohrer (77) saw the Blues produce a sizeable first innings score of 344. However, the match changed rapidly from here as the home side took charge through the efforts of Adam Voges (155) and wicketkeeper Sam Whiteman (88), who took the Warriors to a first innings lead of 118. Sean Abbott showed that he was learning to bowl on all surfaces with the outstanding figures of 4-71 from 20.1 overs, while Manjot Singh picked up his first two wickets at this level. The next stage of the match was hard for Blues fans. The previous issues of being unable to overcome the extra bounce at the ground became the basis of a collapse that saw the visitors lose 7-39 to be 126 all out, leaving the Warriors a mere nine runs to chase. They achieved this easily but not before Manjot Singh had added two more wickets to his tally to bring one ray of light to what had been a comprehensive defeat. The eight wicket defeat meant that the side were now under pressure to make the Final and they would need to perform well in their last three matches.

Winning the toss, the home side decided to make first use of the renowned Adelaide pitch regardless of the change in conditions. As in previous games, the drop in pitch proved hard to score on and the Redbacks laboured to 288, mainly due to a fighting 97 from Callum Ferguson. Stephen O’Keefe revelled in the grip on the surface to produce a five wicket haul. The Blues’ response followed a similar scoring rate with Ryan Carters (65), Kurtis Patterson (81) and Peter Nevill (71) all working hard on the slow surface to post 292 and a first innings lead of just four runs. The game now looked destined to go the distance. Trying to force an outright result, the Redbacks picked the scoring rate up in the second innings to set the Blues a total of 277 to chase on the final day. Stephen O’Keefe added six wickets in the second innings to give him a total of 11 for the match, earning himself top spot on the Shield wicket takers list for 2013/14 in the process. With the wicket getting slower and starting to crumble, the chase was going to prove tough and the NSW Blues found that to be the case, despite the continued assurance of Ryan Carters who added a polished 84. Once he had departed the lower order collapsed and it looked as though the Redbacks would record a crucial victory and guarantee them a place in the Final. However, Josh Hazlewood and Doug Bollinger held the Redbacks’ bowlers at bay during a tense final 45 minutes to see the Blues through to safety and two crucial first innings points.

37 2013/14 RYOBI One Day Cup

Elimination Final: NSW Blues vs Victoria 24 October 2013, North Sydney Oval In a match that saw one of the most amazing One-Day innings ever played, the NSW Blues progressed to the Final of the RYOBI One Day Cup after a thrilling victory over the Bushrangers at a sun-drenched North Sydney Oval. With Victoria winning the toss and deciding to bat, the scene was set for a classic battle between the old foes. At 1-202 in the 30th over, it looked like the visitors might run away with the match but the dismissals of Rob Quiney (89) and Dan Christian (117) started a reduction in the run rate that was to give the Blues hope. Despite Cameron White’s 42 from 37 balls, only 120 runs were added from the last 20 overs which meant that a final total of 9-321 was definitely attainable. Defending totals at North Sydney Oval has proved extremely difficult in recent years and this day was no exception with David Warner creating history. Warner had already turned his form around with two previous centuries and took the power-hitting to another level in front of a boisterous crowd. Again he gelled with Peter Nevill (46) to put on 149 for the first wicket in 21 overs. From here, with the rate still hovering above eight an over, he was involved in a series of partnerships that took the Blues to the brink of victory. On David Warner walks off after a record breaking innings the way he passed Jimmy Maher’s score of 187 to record the highest ever domestic One Day score in Australian history, before chipping John Hastings ELIMINATION FINAL – NEW SOUTH WALES v VICTORIA to deep-square leg to depart for an imperious 197 from 141 balls.

Queensland followed a recent trend at North Sydney Oval that had seen teams chasing get the upper hand and decided to give the home side first use of a placid batting strip. All eyes were on David Warner but he was unable to notch his fourth ton of the tournament, instead falling for 13 after top edging Ryan Harris. This meant that the rest of the Blues batting line-up would have to stand up and this they did with a series of contributions throughout the order. Peter Nevill (70) again showed how successfully he had made the transition to opener, while Steven Smith (61) and Nic Maddinson (76), both contributed well. The icing was put on the innings by Ben Rohrer whose 48 from 27 balls turned a decent total into a very defendable one. The major concern was the capacity of the Queenslanders to stay in the game with some massive overs being produced when required. An opening partnership of 165 between Usman Khawaja (104) and Chris Hartley (78) meant that the Bulls were well up on the scoring rate, but a wobble in the middle order meant that 47 runs were required from the last four overs.

A composed Chris Lynn was then joined by Ben Cutting and when the Nathan Lyon celebrates the wicket of Usman Khawaja 49th over went for 17, leaving only five runs to chase in the last six balls, the game was up.

However, for most of the day it seemed like they had travelled to the ground in vain with heavy rain lashing the ground. The deluge finally ceased mid-afternoon but it looked like the ground would be deemed unplayable. Nevertheless, the North Sydney Oval staff persevered and finally the Match Referee gave the go ahead for play to start with a minimum of 20 overs per side to be bowled. The only stipulation was that if any more time was lost, the game would be abandoned. Winning the toss, Alex Blackwell elected to field first. It forced Victoria to try and set the pace in difficult conditions and against the best bowling attack in the country. As expected, scoring wasn’t easy and Victoria managed just 9-111 from their 20 overs. Meg Lanning (49 off 48) was the only player to get away with Jess Cameron (12 off 8) and Sarah Elliott (12 off 11) the other players to reach double figures. For NSW, Rachael Haynes bowled brilliantly in the wet to claim 3-20 off four overs with Sharon Millanta, Sarah Coyte, Sarah Aley, Erin Osborne and Nicola Carey also taking wickets. The shortened innings saw the Breakers revert to their T20 batting order with Leah Poulton replacing Haynes at the top. Alyssa Healy (4 off 3) found the boundary off the second ball of the chase but fell the next delivery, before a measured 48 run second wicket stand between Blackwell and Poulton put NSW into a strong position. The loss of Blackwell (26 off 29) was merely a speed-bump as Haynes combined with Poulton to take the game further out of Victoria’s grasp. The pair had been the Breakers’ most consistent batters in this season’s competition and their class and experience was on show for all to see. With just five runs needed to win, Poulton was unfortunately bowled for 48 off 48. It was too little too late though for the Vics as Haynes (33no off 29) got her side over the line with seven balls to spare. Haynes was named Player of the Final while Alex Blackwell took great pride in receiving the Ruth Preddey Trophy. She and Poulton remain the only players to have been part of all nine WNCL winning sides – a remarkable achievement for two legendary players.

In a major upset, the Lend Lease Breakers went down to the ACT Meteors by 12 runs to bring their WT20 title defence to an abrupt end. The Breakers had only a limited build up to this game. Half the team had been involved in the Commonwealth Bank Women’s Ashes Series and had returned to the side for just one training session the night before the Semi. On the other hand, the ACT were fresh from more than one month’s break since their last match and with major contributions from Sara Hungerford (24 off 13), Rene Farrell (30 off 29) and Nicola Browne (45 off 37), they were able to post a very competitive 8-146. NSW only managed 134 in reply. Alyssa Healy (51 off 44) and Alex Blackwell (29 off 28) had given them a terrific platform from which to launch, however, the middle order failed to capitalise thanks to the left arm spin of Rhiannon Dick. Dick, who had skipped university to play in the match, finished with the amazing figures of 6-14, the best ever figures against the Breakers. It was a disappointing end to the Lend Lease Breakers’ WT20 campaign, but this loss just made the players more determined to make amends in the WNCL Final in a week’s time. On a day of upsets, Queensland also eliminated Victoria from the competition with the Fire going on to win the WT20 title with a comprehensive victory over the ACT.

This new initiative allowed country players to train in the same facilities as the State’s elite players, while also allowing them additional access to specialist coaches, including several Lend Lease Breakers. We also provided two-way communication devices which enabled coaches to communicate with their captains on the field during training matches, with other coaches and players also able to listen to the Lend Lease Breakers Angela Reakes and Kara Sutherland travelled to Grafton to work with players conversations taking place.

Cricket proved the winner in season 2013/14 and the Sydney Sixers achieved some excellent results on and off the field during a successful BBL03 campaign. Coming off a disappointing year in BBL02, there was plenty of opportunity for improvement in key metrics and these moved in an encouraging direction. On field performance The Sixers finished a very credible second at the end of the regular season and were unfortunate not to progress to the Big Final after a rain affected Big Semi Final against the Perth Scorchers. There were some fantastic individual performances during the season - and who will ever forget that remarkable catch by Jordan Silk against the Heat which changed the game?

The success of Channel 10’s coverage of the Big Bash League has been well reported, Thunder’s average TV audience has increased by approximately 350% year-on-year and now has the club boasting the highest average TV audience of any western Sydney sports club. The highlight was the season opener against the Sixers which saw the Sydney teams enjoy an average TV audience of over 1.1 million. On field, while we saw significant improvement in the team environment and overall standard of play, we were disappointed with the final scoreline of the team with one 2013/14 Sydney Thunder Head Office staff (l-r): David Townsend, Hugh Sanders, Ben Cuevas, win and seven losses.
