Update No.143 - Yet Another Washout but Chappie Debuts for Black Caps Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.143 - Yet Another Washout But Chappie Debuts for Black Caps Mark Chapman (right) as a lad at Hong Kong CC meeting Brian Lara on the left. Photo provided by Greg James For NZ on Wednesday vs England, Mark came to the wicket when de Grandhomme fell 1st ball – 121 /3 with just 6.1 overs remaining. He hit 20 off just 13 balls, including 2 sixes, enabling NZ to reach 196/5 and, eventually, win by 12 runs – a very signiicant contribution. A large crowd gathered in the Mike Simpson Lounge to view the game, including Lockie Ferguson and Ben Horne. Roy Goodyear, Chappie’s coach whilst at King’s College, flew to Wellington to see him debut first hand -Roy wasn’t disappointed. Very best wishes to Chappie for tomorrow’s game vs Australia at Eden Park!

Parnell Premier Reserves packing away the covers, play already abandoned. A vital game for our Reserves, who are bottom (8th) on the President’s Cup Two Day Championship. They are playing Waitakere (7th) – a “must win” for both sides with the prospect of relegation to the Lower Tier looming. Just hope Day 2., 17 Feb. is fine!! The last three weeks have been tragic for the game – Senior Club grades being almost completely washed out, Junior games severely disrupted, if they got underway at all. Incidentally, last Saturday, despite a brand new cover being used along with new hessian, the pitch itself was absolutely saturated. The weather forecast for next weekend is also dismal, another tropical storm on it’s way. Global warming, yes – but due to our cows farting? And why haven’t all the carbon taxes that we are paying rectified this situation? Men’s Premier Grade - A Big Weekend Ahead Saturday17 Feb. Hedley Howarth Trophy Last Day of Round 7. End of Round Robin. Parnell vs.Takapuna at Onewa Domain. We lie 3rd, Points are carried forward to the Top 4 playoff . Tomorrow – a need to stay in the Top 4 and reduce AUCC ‘s lead (6 points) and Papatoetoe’s (3) over us. Sunday 18 Feb. Jeff Crowe Cup Semi Final - Parnell vs Cornwall At Shore Road Resrve – play commences 11 am Obviously another “must win”! Supporters, please come down to Shore Road and give support. Should be a great game – Cornwall are always competitive to say the least! One Faint Ray of Light – Premier Reserve Women 3 February PARNELL vs KUMEU at Madill’s Farm KUMEU 66/7` (18) P Beuvink 2/7 (3), E Farrell 1/12 (3), E Drumm 2/3 (1) PARNELL 67/6 (14) E Irwin 11 RESULT: WIN TO PARNELL Late last week Tom Bassett alerted me to the great news that these girls had actually played, and won, their game on 3 February. This was the only game played in that Grade, and, I believe, the only Senior game that took place. Men or Women, on the day. Congratulations to both sides, Parnell and Kumeu, in agreeing to play under such adverse conditions. New Zealand Over 60s Representatives With these games becoming more frequent and gaining greater significance, it is essential to record Parnell representation. Craig Speakman is setting up the statistical register and, to date, Parnell members selected for National honours are: 2016 Gary Rudolf, Simon Payton, Rod Smith, Roger Harvey 2017 Gary Rudolf, Simon Payton , Rod Smith 2018 Gary Rudolf, Simon Payton, Rod Smith, Roger Harvey Congratulations to these players who’s longevity in the game is most enviable! Long may they continue to take the field for New Zealand!! Black Caps & Visually Impaired Players at the TJC Black Caps with the VIP Players & Saint Kentigern boys came to support, too Mitchell Santner turned his arm over and the Press had a field say – Brian Waddell being interviewed, tables turned on him! On Wednesday, fresh from their win vs England the night before, some Black Caps came to the TJC to support and held a group of visually impaired cricketers – see the photos below. “Blind Cricket” has beenplayed previously in the TJC and, some seasons back, they played regularly on Sundays on Thos. Bloodworth Park. The Thanks Black Caps and very best wishes for your game tonight vs Australia at Eden Park! National Provincial Over 60s Tournament A great turnout of Over 60s for the National Tournament at Petone last week. Several Parnell members – Rod Smith, Simon Payton and Mark Smith representing Auckland and Roger Harvey and Gary Rudolp for Northern Districts. The media release below sums up a most successful Tournament and announces the NZ Over 60 Team. Successful National Provincial Over 60’s Cricket Championship held in Petone. The third National Provincial Over 60’s Cricket Championship has just been completed at the Petone Recreation ground in Lower Hutt with the Canterbury team defending their title they won last year. All six provincial teams enjoyed a great week of cricket and friendship with Otago and Canterbury going through the round robin stages undefeated in first and second place. Wellington, Northern Districts, Auckland and Central Districts completed the finishing order. In the final Otago batted first and scored 162/7 in their 40 overs with Paul Facoory getting 43, Lindsay Hewitson 25 and Steve Pringle 21. This set a target of 163 for Canterbury to win and although Otago bowled very tightly Canterbury got their in the 35th over with Danny Langrope 42, Jeremy Wilson 40 and Phil Harris 30. The top run scorer for the 4 day tournament (noting that batsmen must retire when they score 40 runs) was Gary Rudolph from Northern Districts with 128 runs and the top wicket-taker Roger Harvey also from Northern Districts. At the final dinner the NZ squad which covers the two teams that will go to the Australian Over 60’s tournament in Penrith, NSW in November was announced.

    Basin Reserve Trust Statement of Service Performance 2019/20 2 Introduction The iconic Basin Reserve has a rich history. The first game of cricket was played at the Basin on 11 January 1868, making it is the oldest cricket ground in New Zealand. The ground not only hosts cricket games, but sporting fixtures of every variety. It has hosted national events and competitions including VE Day celebrations, Royal Tours, exhibitions, Scout jamborees, concerts and festivals.

Looking back now at March it all happened so quickly and it was with a sense of great disappointment that we had to cancel all our end of year prizegivings, miss out on the last two weekends of cricket and lock up the Indoor Training Centre for all of April. Now we can only hope that everything has settled down enough to allow us to enjoy a full season in 2020-21 and that all our members are healthy and safe. However, it was still another great year for Suburbs.

    Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.186: 2019/20 – Club of the Year! The 2019/20 Season may have ended a fraction prematurely but, for Parnell, it was a resounding success. Over it’s long history, 163 years, the Club has won many championships and produced some of New Zealand’s finest cricketers but few seasons have produced the results and accolades gained in 2019/20. COVID 19 has meant the postponement of the Annual Awards Dinner but Auckland Cricket has just announced the trophy winners and a superb collection of silverware comes to Parnell and our Players: “Club of the Year” – the Simmonds & Osborne Trophy awarded to Parnell Cricket Club Parnell last won this Award 27 years ago. The Trophy dates from 1905/06 when it was awarded jointly to City, Grafton, North Shore and Parnell Cricket Clubs. Parnell was the sole awardee in 1909/10 and North Shore won in 1910/11 but, then, till 1926/27 there were No Awards made. Reinstated the next season, From then it was awarded each year to WW 2 with Parnell winning in 1933/34. No awards during the War but from 1946/47 it has been presented annually again and Parnell won it the next season,1947/48. Next, and represented by Eastern Districts (Parnell, Orakei, Ellerslie and Panmure CCs), we won in 1959/60. The District Scheme ended in 1966 but Parnell did not win the Trophy again until 1992/93. That season Mike Simpson, our present Patron, was both President and Chairman. It has taken another 27 years to win again.

  • From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition
    From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition GEOFF WATSON Abstract Formerly rather uniform in pattern, sporting biographies have evolved significantly since the 1970s, becoming much more open in their criticism of teammates and administrators as well as being more revealing of their subject’s private lives. This article identifies three transitional phases in the genre; a chronological era, extending from the early twentieth century until the 1960s; an indirectly confessional phase between the 1970s and mid 1980s and an openly confessional phase from the mid-1980s. Despite these changes, sporting biographies continue to reinforce the dominant narratives around sport in New Zealand. New Zealand sporting biographies have a mixed reputation in literary and scholarly circles. Often denigrated for their allegedly formulaic style, they have also been criticised for their lack of insight into New Zealand society.1 Representative of this critique is Lloyd Jones, who wrote in 1999, “sport hardly earns a mention in our wider literature, and … the rest of society is rarely, if ever, admitted to our sports literature.”2 This article examines this perspective, arguing that sporting biographies afford a valuable insight into New Zealand’s changing self- image and values. Moreover, it will be argued that the nature of sporting biographies themselves has changed significantly since the 1980s and that they have become much more open in their discussion of teammates and the personal lives of their subjects. Whatever one’s perspective on the literary merits of sporting biographies, their popular appeal is undeniable. Whereas the print run of most scholarly texts in New Zealand is at best a few thousand, sporting biographies consistently sell in the tens of thousands.
