  • Melbourne Vs Richmond
    WOMEN’S TWENTY20 SATURDAY MELBOURNE STARS V JANUARY 2, 2016 FACT SHEET MELBOURNE RENEGADES LIBRARY Australian Women’s Domestic Twenty20 (T20) – A Brief History Victoria Spirit (4/135) defeated the New South Wales Breakers (6/118) by 17 runs in an unofficial women’s domestic T20 match which was organised by Cricket Victoria at the Richmond Cricket Ground on December 20, 2006. Victoria batted first with player-of-the-match Catherine Fitzpatrick top scoring with 42 runs off 30 balls (1 six, 4 fours). She was supported by Sarah Edwards 37 (32 balls, 1 four) and Rachael Haynes 25 (31 balls, 3 fours). In reply for NSW Lisa Sthalekar top scored with 36 (26 balls, 6 fours) supported by Kate Blackwell 30 (22 balls, 4 fours). Vic Spirit’s Clea Smith was the only multiple wicket taker of the match with figures of 2/19 off four overs. Although she went wicketless Vic Spirit’s Catherine Fitzpatrick, was the most economical bowler of the match conceding only 14 runs from her four overs. It was the tight bowling by the Victorians that contained the New South Wales batters and won the match. In November 2007 a series of five matches were played as part of a women’s interstate T20 tournament. Each state played two matches but no final was programmed. The participating teams were New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia. In the 2008/09 season the women’s domestic T20 competition was expanded with two tournaments being staged. The Women’s Interstate T20 tournament consisted of a series of five matches played by the same states that had played the previous season.

  • DOOHAN CLINCHES MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX TITLE (Bernama
    13 APR 1997 Grand Prix-Malaysia DOOHAN CLINCHES MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX TITLE SHAH ALAM, April 13 (Bernama) -- Australian Michael Doohan began his campaign for his fourth consecutive world title in style by clinching the 500cc event in the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix at the Shah Alam Circuit here today. Doohan, who had three victories at the 3.505km track here but finished a poor fifth last year, claimed his 35th grand prix victory with his Honda machine by breaking the six-year-old lap record of one minute 25.100s. He clocked 1:24.840s on the 13th lap in a wet condition, erasing the old mark set by American John Kocinski enroute to winning the first Malaysian Grand Prix in 1991. Last year's runner-up Alex Criville of Spain kept his tussle for world title by taking the second spot, 11.796 seconds slower than Doohan's winning time of 47 minutes 11.545 seconds. Nobuatsu Aoki of Japan, a rookie for 500cc, surprised even himself as he finished third ahead of defending champion, Luca Cadalora of Italy while Nobuatsu's twin brother Takuma ended in fifth position. Japan's Tadayuki Okada, who took the pole position after setting the fastest time in the qualifying practice, had a poor outing when he could only finish 10th due to some mechanical problem with his bike.
