In the third phase, growth was self-sustaining within Scotland: this period ran from about 1870 to 1890. Between 1871 and 1889 there was a sufficient level of interest to support a Scottish cricket annual on the model of the more famous English Wisden (King 1871-89).

    Chief Executive Position Profile Contents Welcome from Tony Brian, Chair of Cricket Scotland ................................. 3 The Organisation .................................................................................. 4 The Opportunity ................................................................................... 5 Preferred Candidate Background ............................................................. 8 Remuneration ...................................................................................... 9 The Recruitment Process ....................................................................... 9 2 Welcome from Tony Brian, Chair of Cricket Scotland Dear Applicant, First of all, thank you for considering this important role. Cricket in Scotland, both women's and men's, is at a key stage in its journey towards becoming a mainstream, and thus fully self sustaining, sport in the country. Over the past four years, through its participation work, successes in the international arena and its community work, Cricket Scotland has raised the profile of the sport in Scotland and put it firmly back on the Scottish sporting map. But there is much further to go in all three areas, particularly in driving Cricket Scotland forward to become a Full Member of the International Cricket Council, so that Scotland is playing at the top level of the sport and achieves the increase in income which that produces to support the grass roots game. Cricket is the second most popular sport globally with 105 members of the ICC; building relationships and alliances with other cricketing nations throughout the world to help deliver Cricket Scotland's strategic objectives will be an important aspect of the role. For all those reasons, we are looking for an exceptional leader to shape and deliver an ambitious new strategy, lead a talented team and grow the revenue (including from new commercial and broadcasting partnerships). The position offers a unique opportunity to lead a sport in Scotland to the top level of a truly global game.

  • Posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir Were the Visitors to the Old Ground on Saturday As the SNCL Kicked Off for - Let's Hope - the Last Time
    Week one, win one [posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir were the visitors to the old ground on Saturday as the SNCL kicked off for - let's hope - the last time. The 'Loc hadn't played the maroon marauders from deepest darkest Larbert since 2003 as the clubs avoided each other in different divisions, and so it wasn't surprising that, bar respective veteran ever-presents Ferrier and Gardner, and Spence and Sheridan, the players on parade had no idea what to expect from each other. Mind you, that said, the two sides' pro's were rivals back in South African domestic cricket. Brian Spence's first job was - of course - to lose the toss, or more accurately watch as his Stennie counterpart win it. Batting. Why? Probably the visitors' skipper thinking being that wet weather in the days leading up to the game must've meant there was "something" in the pitch. And of course he was right; what was in it was water. Lots of it. HoVR opened with Captain Spence, and 15 was on the 'board when the latter was cleaned up by Angus [Ed: that's his surname!]. Dan then came and went for 2 and it was 28 for 2 when Bean joined the pro'. 26 runs later and HoVR had his fourth batting partner of the day as Nichty strode out. Determined to show that his deck was perfectly playable the Big Man would go on to top score in the innings, batting with almost as many partners as HovR - his 32 added to Hancke's 31 and Maddy 's 27 late on being the three scores around which a defendable total were built.
