11 – 13 August 2009 VOC & VRA PEPSI ICC Development Programme – Europe____________ The Pepsi ICC Development Programme started in 1997 and in Europe now involves 12 Associate and 18 Affiliate member countries as well as 12 Prospective member countries. The programme is run by seven staff at the ICC Europe headquarters at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London and has four strategic goals. ICC’s mission statement is complemented by a Vision of Success and Values for the sport. As the international governing body of cricket, the International Cricket Council will lead by: • Promoting and protecting the game and its unique spirit • Delivering outstanding , memorable events • Providing excellent service to Members and stakeholders • Optimising its commercial rights and properties for the benefits of its members. “As a leading global sport, cricket will captivate and inspire people of every age, gender, background and ability while building bridges between continents, countries and communities.” Our values: Cricket: a strong sport getting stronger • Elite performances in an elite environment Performance with integrity • Prestigious events • Ethical behaviour • A traditional game which adapts • Unity and shared purpose • Integration of women’s cricket • No corruption • Increased competitiveness • Operational Excellence • Heroes and role models • The unique Spirit of Cricket Quality member and stakeholder services • Meeting and responding to Members Sustainable growth needs • Financial strength and security • Helping members to help themselves • Strengthening of ICC’s regional operations • Member’s charter • Quantity and quality of participation • Membership structures • Meaningful competition • Effective stakeholder relations • Cricket in commercial demand Message from ICC Regional Development Manager – Europe It gives me great pleasure to welcome all teams, players and officials to The Netherlands for the ICC European ‘A’ Team Championship Over the next three days, the reserve squads from each of Europe’s top four Associate Members - Ireland, Netherlands, Scotland, and Denmark will play against each other in a series of 50-over matches. Like last year, the ‘A’ Team Championship is replacing the former U23 Division 1 Championship and will see current title-holders Ireland attempt to retain the trophy against their strongest rival, three-time previous winners Scotland. The Netherlands (winners in 2002) will be looking to challenge for a top spot placing on home ground, whilst Denmark will also be playing their best cricket yet to make their mark in a highly competitive championship. Once again the KNCB has chosen two grounds to host the tournament and a great deal of work has gone into preparing these for the three days of cricket. VRA in Amsterdam and VOC in Rotterdam are excellent grounds and will set a fantastic stage for this event. There are many people who have contributed much to the organisation of this event, not least the Tournament Organiser Satar Alladin to whom the ICC and I are truly grateful. I would also like to thank the match officials – referee, umpires, scorers and web managers; groundsmen, match managers; and many other volunteers at host clubs who have made all this possible. Good luck to all those involved and enjoy the cricket!

With just under six thousand active players, Cricket is certainly not everyone’s game in The Netherlands. There are seven grounds with turf squares, in the rest of the country artificial matting is used. Most national team players are amateurs and have a day time job or study outside cricket. So it can be considered quite an achievement that the national squad was present at the 1996, 2003 and 2007 Cricket World Cup and this April in South Africa qualified for the 2011 World Cup. In Belfast in August 2008 The Netherlands qualified for this ICC World Twenty20 after just missing out on the 2007 South Africa event. History of cricket in The Netherlands Cricket was introduced by British soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars in the 19 th Century, and the Cape Colony in 1856. In the 1860s it was a major sport in the country. The Netherlands national team played its first ever game in 1881. It fielded twenty two players against an Uxbridge Cricket Club XI, but still lost by an innings. Royal Netherlands Cricket Association (KNCB) was established in 1883. International cricket In 1966 The Netherlands gained ICC Associate Membership. Next to participation in the 1996, 2003 and 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup the team took part in all nine ICC Trophy tournaments, winning the competition in Canada in 2001 and finishing as runners-up in 1986 and 1990. The Dutch entered the English domestic NatWest Trophy competition in 1995 and spent ten years in the tournament with a best performance in 1999, when progressing to the fourth round. In 2005 the Dutch team beat the UAE to finish a disappointing fifth in the ICC Trophy, still qualifying for the 2007 World Cup. The Netherlands gained full One Day International status from 2006. In August that year, the Netherlands competed in Division 1 of the ICC European Championship and finished third. In November, in the final match in an Intercontinental Cup in South Africa against Canada, Ryan ten Doeschate set a new competition record individual score of 259 not out. In early 2007, the side travelled to Nairobi, Kenya to play in Division One of the ICC World Cricket League, finishing third out of six teams. Then on to the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup in the West Indies, where they were beaten by World Champion Australia and South Africa. The Dutch team however did beat Scotland convincingly in the last group stage match. In January 2008 Australian Peter Drinnen (41) was appointed as Netherlands coach after coaching Scotland since 2006. Drinnen played five first class matches for Queensland from 1988-1990 before moving into coaching. Since than The Netherlands have qualified for the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup and had an historic victory over England at the opening match of the 2009 ICC World Twenty20. International cricket in The Netherlands For the 1999 ICC Cricket World Cup match between South Africa and Kenya, the Amsterdam ground of VRA Cricket was the venue for the only group stage match that took place outside England. KNCB hosted the Videocon Cup with Australia, India and Pakistan at the same venue in 2004. In 2006 Sri Lanka played two official ODIs against The Netherlands in Amsterdam. On day one, the ODI world record runs was shattered. Jayasuriya (157) and Dilshan (117) were responsible for a monster score of 443 runs. Dutch international players Currently two Dutch XI players, Ryan ten Doeschate and Alexei Kervezee, are contracted by English Counties, respectively Essex CCC and Worcestershire CCC. Dirk Nannes played IPL in 2009 and earlier Paul Jan Bakker (Hampshire), Steven Lubbers (Derbyshire), Roland Lefebvre (Somerset and Glamorgan), André van Troost (Somerset), Bas Zuiderent (Sussex) and Daan van Bunge and Maurits van Nierop (MCC Young Cricketers), played across the Channel. Domestic cricket The Netherlands has a strong ten team national top league. Furthermore there are twenty senior leagues, including two women’s and two senior men’s 35 plus leagues, all limited over matches. In 2009 domestic two-day cricket was introduced on a regional basis, involving fifty of the top players.

Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

    Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10

    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

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.

    2007 Cricket World Cup Sport Tourists: the Caribbean Experience

    2007 Cricket World Cup Sport Tourists: The Caribbean Experience Douglas Michele Turco, Drexel University, USA, [email protected] Marlene Cox, University of Guyana, Guyana Shamir Andrew Ally, DeSales University, USA Keywords: Sport tourism, sport spectators, cricket, World Cup, Guyana Abstract Introduction The West Indies was awarded the right to host the International Cricket Council (ICC) 2007 Cricket World Cup (CWC), marking its first attempt at hosting an international sport championship. The CWC is one of the world's most viewed sporting events. As indicators of its global reach, 2007 CWC matches were televised in 200 countries to over 2.2 billion television viewers. Televised rights for the 2011 and 2015 CWC were recently sold for over $US 1.1 billion, and sponsorship rights were sold for a further US$500 million (cricinfo.com, 2007). A total of 51 one day matches were hosted by eight territories (Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia and Trinidad & Tobago) over the period 13 March to 28 April 2007. Super Eight matches, essentially eight-team round robin competition, were held between 27 March and 21 April in Antigua, Bridgetown in Barbados, Providence in Guyana, and Grenada. Attendance for the entire 2007 CWC averaged 11,176 per match (www.icc-cricket.com). Aims While several studies have profiled sport tourists at international events, relatively few have involved events in developing countries, particularly in the Caribbean. The purpose of this study is to examine the consumer behaviors of tourists to the 2007 Cricket World Cup and to compare them to previous CWC visitors.
