In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

The Black Rose 2009/2010 President’s Report “ Cheers Boys Cheers we are the CB’s and every time we play we play to win ! “ The CB victory song has never been sung with the volume or sheer joy as in the Dressing Room at No.1 Sportsground on Sunday afternoon April 4th after victory over Charlestown to clinch our maiden First Grade title. NBN TV summed it up as “ 60 years in the making “. So I ask lets not wait as long for our next one ! Season 2009-10 has been a successful one with the CB’s taking out the Dr E.P. Barbour Shield as First Grade Major Premiers & Final winners – masterly led by Anthony Hobson. Also the young CB’s were able to claim the Bert Atkin Shield as Under 21 Major Premiers & Final winners – with Matthew Chappell at the helm. But more importantly the buzz around the Club and the many new members & returning old boys was reflected in the huge turnout to No. 1 Sportsground to help our boys win their titles. The CB’s 60th season got off to a wonderful start back in September last year with our highly successful Reunion here at Cardiff RSL. Guest speaker Kerry O’Keeffe provided great entertainment & challenged the CB’s to win their first title to cap off our celebrations.

The decline had perhaps begun as early as the 1999 World Cup final, and peaked during the 2003 World Cup tournament and it became more obvious in the aftermath of the twin series defeats against India at home in early 2004. The services of Bob Woolmer as coach were acquired by the Pakistan Cricket Board in an effort to ensure that the team came up with improved performance and did justice with the loads of talent. The move has paid dividends.
