Cricket NSW is fortunate to have some outstanding facilities across the State and strong relationships with local councils. This is reflected in the fact that NSW was again chosen to host the majority of the Matador BBQs One Day Cup at suburban grounds in Sydney, in addition to taking Shield matches to Wagga Wagga and Newcastle for regional fans. We are indebted to councils for their ongoing support of cricket and we will continue to work closely with them to ensure that the best possible training and playing facilities are available to the community. Cricket NSW continued to invest heavily in infrastructure projects during 2014/15 in metropolitan and regional areas through the McDonald’s Community Grants program. Through this funding we have been able to support 34 projects worth in excess of $6 million. Financially Cricket NSW is in a strong position after recording a surplus of $2.55 million in

36 Final: NSW Blues vs Western Australia 26 October 2014, Sydney Cricket Ground The Final of the Matador BBQs One Day Cup was also the first match of the summer at the SCG, and Western Australian captain Adam Voges was quick to bat on winning the toss. The early stages of the match saw a tight contest between bat and ball. With the pitch showing signs of being two paced, scoring wasn’t easy but the Western Australians patience was rewarded late in the innings. Led by Michael Klinger (96), the Warriors finished their allotted overs with a very competitive 6-255, while Gurinder Sandhu’s 2-38 saw him finish as the leading wicket taker in the competition. Western Australia struck early with the ball, removing both of NSW’s openers inside the first five overs. It was up to Shane Watson (83) and Kurtis Patterson (44) to stabilise the innings. The pair fought hard during their 115 run third wicket stand before Patterson was bowled by Jason Behrendorff. A few overs later Ashton Agar removed Watson. This triggered a collapse that saw NSW lose 6-39 to be all out for 191.

The 2014/15 Toyota Futures League was another productive campaign for NSW and despite finishing third, it was a successful season on many fronts. The Futures League, comprising of four Four Day matches, once again provided the ideal platform for our most talented young players to gain exposure to the conditions they will experience at the next level, while also providing some experienced cricketers returning from injury with valuable match time. The State Selection Panel will always endeavour to use these fixtures to offer opportunities to our best young talent and that was no different this season. Pleasingly, the performance of many young players gives us great cause for optimism for coming seasons. The likes of Ryan Gibson, Harry Conway, Daniel Solway, Josh Connolly, Daya Singh, Charlie Wakim and Jonte Pattison were prominent in 2014/15. They all acquitted themselves extremely well, especially Gibson, Solway and Pattison, who showed skills and maturity beyond their years and have subsequently been rewarded with Rookie Contracts for the 2015/16 season. In addition, two Second XI matches against Victoria enabled the State Selection Panel, with the support of our Grade Advisors Bill Anderson, Evan Atkins, Corey Richards and Anthony Clark, to recognise performances from the McDonald’s Sydney Grade competition without the restrictions of the U/23 age quota. Amongst several fine individual performances during the year, we played Queensland for the Syd Gregory Cup and regained that trophy with a superb team effort. Domestically, NSW players continue to make up a high percentage of National squads across all formats and age groups. Combined with our good Bupa Sheffield Shield campaign and runners- up in the Matador BBQs One Day Cup, NSW is well on target to maintaining our strategic goals of dominating interstate competitions and being the number one producer of talent in the country.

81 Coach Education and Development

2014/15 saw a very successful 12 months for coach accreditation, education, talent identification and development. Particular emphasis has been placed on identifying and educating talented coaches to work within club cricket and the Cricket NSW Player Pathway.

Accreditation Community Coaching Course (Level One) Cricket NSW conducted 70 Level One courses in both metropolitan and regional NSW during 2014/15, with 708 coaches accredited as a result. This included targeted courses for school teachers and university students.

Representative Coaching Course (Level Two) This year 106 Level Two candidates attended courses at the Sydney Academy of Sport in Narrabeen, Bradman Oval in Bowral and the “What’s Your Plan B?” Indoor Centre at the SCG. The courses in Narrabeen and Bowral were run as traditional residential courses and open to all candidates, while the Sydney Cricket Ground course was run as a non-residential course exclusively for representative coaches from the NSW Districts Cricket Association, supporting our strategy to accredit all coaches working in junior DCA and school programs.

High Performance Coaching Course (Level Three) Seven candidates from the Cricket NSW Academy, Australian Cricketers’ Association and Pathway Programs were selected by Cricket Australia to attend the High Performance Coaching Course in Brisbane. The candidates were: Trent Johnston Leah Poulton James Henry David Dawson Jason Krezja Doug Bollinger Michael Wood

Education Cricket NSW conducted a series of Coach Education Seminars for coaches within NSW. The majority of attendees were Level Three or Level Two accredited, as well as some Level One coaches. A highlight of the Coach Education Seminars was the sessions conducted at Wagga Wagga and Newcastle in conjunction with Sheffield Shield matches. In Wagga Wagga, Trent Johnston and Phil Jaques delivered a seminar on batting and team preparation whilst Trevor Bayliss and Geoff Lawson spoke about T20 cricket, developing young players and fast bowling in Newcastle.

Talent identification and development Part of Cricket NSW’s focus during 2014/15 was to identify talented coaches and provide them with the opportunity to coach State Challenge teams. This provided more than 50 coaches across the male and female

What a season! The fate of the Sydney Sixers was left until the last ball of the Big Final in Canberra, with millions of viewers on the edge of their seats. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite go the way of the men in magenta, but it did cap off a very successful BBL|04 with many memorable moments.

On Field Performance The Sixers started the season with a 3-0 record, despite being hit heavily by injury and the non- availability of International players. This provided opportunities for younger members of the squad like Ben Dwarshuis and Ryan Carters to put up their hands with replacement players, including Luke Doran and Simon Keen, also assuming key roles during the early rounds. Despite a mid-season hiccup, the Sixers finished a solid fourth on the table and qualified for their The 2014/15 Sydney Sixers Head Office Staff.
