Weekly Update Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.144 - Don’t Blame the Weather Prems dip out but Reserves, Thirds, Fourths & Juniors did us Proud Farewell to the UK Lads - Elliot, Cameron and Alex The three leave for home in just a few days. Theiy have contributed hugely to the Club, EDCA and ACA in their time here with their coaching and willingness to complete the many tasks assigned to them. And playing – Elliot for the Prems, standing in for Ben Horne, kept outstandingly, Cam added a bit of pace and spite to the Thirds’ attack (when he wasn’t spraying them) and Alex hit a superb ton for the Reserves and kept very efficiently. Above all, they seem have enjoyed themselves immensely – thanks indeed guys, don’t forget us,keep in contact and come back to NZ, and Parnell, sometime in the future – you will always be welcome.

Hedley Howarth Trophy at Onewa Domain. TAKAPUNA 204/8 dec. W O’Donnell 36, E Herd 33 PARNELL 69/10 Brad Rodden 40*, E Herd 4/34, M Jones 4/22 & 64/3 Brad Rodden 34 RESULT: MATCH DRAWN, 1st Innings points to Takapuna ACA’s WEBSITE REPORT ON DAY 2 – DAY 1 HAVING BEEN WASHED OUT COMPLETELY: Takapuna put in a dominant display with both bat and ball to ensure a first innings victory over Parnell at Onewa Domain. All of the Taka top six made it to double figures as the batsmen shared the runs about without anyone going onto that big score. Captain Will O’Donnell (36) top scored for his side while Elliott ‘Powerhouse’ Herd was at this destructive best smashing 33 off just 16 balls including four sixes. Tail enders Shane Setia (29) and Ross ter Braak (26*) added some valuable runs as Taka posted 204/8 declared. The Parnell reply started in disastrous fashion, losing both Ben Rae (LBW) and Flynn McGregor-Sumpter (run out) in the second over of the innings. The collapse was on and by the 15th over Parnell found themselves in all sorts of trouble at 27/6. Spinners Matt Jones (4-22) and Herd (4-34) were the chief destroyers for the home side, both bowlers showing superb control and variation on a turning track. Brad Rodden (40*) was the only Parnell batsman to make it into double figures as they were bowled out for 69. Asked to bat again Parnell opened up with Rodden this time and he once again top scored with 34. The Parnell top order showed some grit this time round ensuring it was just a first innings loss they suffered at the hands of Taka’s spinners. That is how Auckland Cricket, rather kindly, put it. The fact is that, lying 3rd in the Table before start of play, and the top 4 to procede to play off for the Championship, our Prems only salvaged 2 bonus points from this game allowing East Coast Bays to catch us and win on the countback on the basis of having had an outright win earlier in the season.

Most of our batsmen got starts – Ben Rae 23, Andy Lane 16, James Bevin 27, Dave Goddard 28 but no one carried on. Brad Rodden was run out afor 18 hafter doing the “hard yards” – he faced 58 balls. Brad was the only batsman to shape up on Saturday and, on Sunday, his dismissal spoilt our chance of a decent total. Then Guptill-Bunce batted superbly, ably supported by Dhadwal, and took the Semi Final from us. Women’s Premier Grade – Prichard Cup Saturday 17 February PARNELL vs PAPATOETOE at Papatoetoe Rec.

Two weekends of rain seems like a month out of the game? Tough on batsmen who all need time at the crease to keep up momentum. We won the toss (at last) and decided to bowl Waitakeri scored 154 all out after 34.3 overs with only one substantial partnership of 60 runs. PCC Bowling: Rudi and Sam Petersen opened; Sam has recently moved up from Wellington and a welcome addition to our ranks of pace bowlers which are looking a little depleted at present. Rudi taking 1 for 24 off his 6 overs Sam taking 1 for 31 off his 7 overs Hamish Robertson and Razin Bharde then settled into long spells and the spin twins taking 7 wickets between them Hamish taking 4 for 41 off his 10 overs and; Razin taking 3 for 25 off his 8 overs It has been a very successful season for Hamish in the Reserves and must be knocking hard on the door of the Prems? Great to see Razin getting amongst the wickets again, adding so much to the side, along with his outstanding efforts in the field. Fielding generally has been good of late with Cam Gibbons leading the way along with Will Ormiston who has a great pair of hands in the slips and quality fielding in the outfield. Add to this the balnce of the side are all contributing to the fielding effort. At this point I take the opportunity to farewell Alex Grimes who has been an outstanding team man contributing in every area of the game. His keeping in the initial part of the season and, subsequently he bowled a few leg spinners, once he had, unselfishly, handed the gloves on to Harry Miller. Add to this his batting, scoring the Reserves only 100 (before Christmas) to- date. Thank you Alex it has been so good having you in the side Our turn with the bat: With regular opener Callum Douglas now at Otago Uni we opened with Harry Miller and Will Ormiston. We lost both openers early before Cam Gibbons steadied the ship. Cam, along with Tom Talbot 29 and then with Sam Fastier also 29 producing partnerships of 41 and 61 respectively. Alex Grimes chipped in with a well played 22 to see us past their total and a mu ch needed first innings win. Cam Gibbons (ex NZ U19 opener) past his half century and ended up 55 not out. A really good patient innings ensuring we got home. Welcome to Parnell Cam.. We declared at 178 for 7 wickets and put Waitakere in to bat for the remaining 10 overs of the game. Securing 5 wickets in that short time which will help the bonus points situation as the season progresses into the last rounds.

I guess the summer of 2019-20 will always be remembered as the season that ended early due to Covid- 19. 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.

Heroes of the Weekend: Callum Douglas – 118* Lalit Bose – 219 off 113 balls Karun Phorgat – 6 for 43 1 & 2: Callum Douglas and Lalit Bose – for our Thirds vs. Grafton United, Callum scored 118* on his Parnell Senior debut and Lalit hit a colossal 219 off only 113 balls.Their 2nd wicket partnership of 292 falls just short of the Parnell Lower Grade Record for that wicket – 297 set by R Bracefield and J Wallace in 2013/14. Callum comes to us from the King’s College 1st XI, for whom he scored a ton last month, and he has previously represented Parnell in EDCA Age Group teams and Auckland Under 17s. Lalit arrived a fortnight ago from UK having recently graduated from Durham University. He represented the University in a 1st Class match, vs. Warwickshire, in 2015 but his real claim to fame is that in 2012 he hit a century for his school, Harrow, at Lord’s vs. Eton. 2: Karun Phorgat – the smile says it all, a 6 for for the Reserves. Karun, “Special K” to the Reserves for whom he is the spearhead, is originally from India but has played Premier Grade cricket in Melbourne. This is his first season with Parnell and is making his mark with his enthusiasm and, particularly, his quick bowling. He is the Reserves leading wicket taker with figures of 4/37, 4/50, 4/31 and 1/58 before getting this first 5 for! Men’s Premier Grade: Hedley Howarth Trophy – Major 2 Day Championship Round 4.

Enter Chappie (what joy to have our Aces back!), the pace was upped further. Ben Rae left at 113, but Chappie hit 5 sixes in his 20 ball 48. Wickets fell – 6/159 but Jesse and Dean stopped any rot developing, played many spectacular shots (Dean 4 x 6s) and were unbeaten at the end of 20 overs and a cracking total of 232. A hard act to follow. GU opened with their two pros - Nick Hendrie and Ian Cockbain (seasoned 1st Class batsmen for KwaZulu Natal and Gloucesteshire) – and started briskly – run a ball. No success for our pace attack, Mike and Dean but Jesse’s left arm spin got immediate results having both Hendrie and Cockbain caught – 2/47.
