welcome to players, family and friends to the Omega Cricket Clubs 2007 Presentation Night. Tonight is an opportunity to recognise our on field performances and thank the numerous people that make Omega a success. There are so many people that contribute to the success of Omega that I only hope I manage to thank everyone. Our Coach 2006/07 Firstly I would like to thank Kathy Hack for her support of both the club and Stefan. Without Kathy and Melanie’s support Stef would not have been able to put in the time and effort that the coaching role requires – thanks Kathy and Melanie. Thank you Stefan for taking on the coaching role in 2006/07. You brought a level of professionalism and coordination to the club’s coaching that saw us have a very successful year. We finished with 4 out of 6 senior teams in the finals (2 day grades), a remarkable effort when you consider Omega is represented in 4 of the top 5 CMCA grades. Each week you would spend up to 15 hours a week selecting sides, running training and just generally thinking about how we could improve. Your innovative training schedule ensured that the players maintained motivation and interest throughout the year. The pre-season training regime was such a positive motivation to some players that it has improved not only their cricket, but their health and well being in general. Stefan’s meticulous planning and his general approach allowed for selections to be made on statistics, form, attitude and training – not just gut feel. Throughout the year there were a number of very positive selections that will in the end result in Omega being a formidable strength for many years to come. The thing that I will remember most from this year was the way in which Stefan challenged all players to perform at their best. As a non-playing coach he gave up his time and energy to help Omega become a force within the CMCA. The job of head coach can be at times a thankless task – in the end we should be very grateful for Stefan’s work and dedication to the role. Thanks Stefan Coaching 2007/08 In the next couple of weeks I will be sitting down with a number of the senior players to review our coaching methodology and plans for 2007/08 and beyond. I would encourage and welcome feedback from all club members on how we can continue to improve. 2 Omega Cricket Club (CMCA) 2006/07 Season Review PRESIDENT’S REPORT (continued) 2007 Committee I thank our 2 Vice Presidents Roshan Rodrigo and Chris Ryan for their efforts throughout the year. Roshi has done a fantastic job this year on the Bar, with the support of a number of people the Bar in 2007 has greatly contributed to club’s financial position. Thanks to Jacob Slucki who worked very closely with Rosh, ordering stock, doing stocktakes and working on the bar throughout the year. Thanks also to all those club members that throughout the year worked on the bar – In particular Marky, Vernon, Vinnie and Ilya – who I could always rely upon to do the late shift with Evil and the Muppets. Chris Ryan has decided to step down as Vice President, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris for his efforts over the last 4 years. Chris has been a tremendous support to me as president in the last 2 years and the club for many years. Chris can always be relied upon to lend a hand and support the club, whether it is a working bee, or just general fix it duties around the rooms. Thanks again for your support and time that you dedicate to Omega. Peter Barton – Barts has completed another tremendous year as Treasurer. We should all be grateful for the work Barts does to keep our finances in order. Unfortunately Barts is overseas and not with us on Presentation night. Tracey Fletcher - What can I say other than the club could not run so efficiently and effectively

  • 14 May: CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY V AJ WEBBE
    1 January: AUSTRALIA v ENGLAND (Second Test) (See scorecard at Cricket Archive, www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/4/4921.html) Day 1 (report from Monday 3 January) Melbourne, Jan. 1 The second of the five test matches between Mr Stoddart’s team and All Australia began here to-day under the pleasantest conditions. Large at the start, the attendance went on increasing, till late in the afternoon there were 24,000 people on the ground. It was feared at first that owing to a small abscess in the throat Ranjitsinhji would have to stand out of the England eleven. However, after consulting a doctor, he found himself able to play, so Stoddart made way for him. The other player left out was Board. With Stoddart away Maclaren captained the side. Trott won the toss, and such a fine start was made by Australia that at the end of the day 283 runs had been scored for the loss of only three wickets. McLeod and Darling opened the innings to the bowling of Richardson and Hirst. The early batting was slow and marked by great caution. Richardson bowled four maiden overs in succession and the fielding was superb. With the total at 17, Briggs went on in place of Richardson, off whom only one run had been made. Darling scored eight in Briggs’s first over, and then, at 25, Richardson bowled at Hirst’s end. Darling did nearly all the hitting, getting 23 runs out of the first 27. As the game proceeded, the play became freer in character, Darling’s cutting being very clean and neat.

  • Kent County Cricketers a to Z
    Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919-1939 By Derek Carlaw Statistics by John Winnifrith This collection of biographies have been written, on behalf of the ACS, by Derek Carlaw. For those readers wishing to obtain more detailed statistical information, it is recommended that a search is undertaken on the relevant pages of the CricketArchive website ( http://cricketarchive.com/ ). Kent County Cricketers A to Z Part Two 1919 to 1939 Introduction Part Two of the Kent A to Z covers the 92 cricketers who made their entry into first-class cricket for Kent between the wars. With 12 Championship titles, 330 wins and only 49 defeats, Yorkshire dominated throughout the two decades, but Kent could reasonably claim to be the most successful of the Southern counties, twice ending runners-up and in only three seasons failing to finish in the top half of the table. During those inter-war years, cricket was becoming increasingly professional. Of the names listed in the county averages in the 1921 Wisden, over 57% were amateurs. By 1931 the figure had fallen to 41%; and in the last pre-war season it was down to 33%. Kent, in common with one or two other counties, fought hard against the prevailing trend. Throughout the period, they stuck to their long- established policy of endeavouring to field a minimum of three amateurs in every match. In practice, they were quite frequently unable to do so, especially early in the season but, of the 92 cricketers listed in the following pages, 60, i.e. over 65%, were, in the idiom of the time, ‘Gentlemen’.

After the first fifty years, the then Secretary, Jack Hoelscher, wrote the Club history. In his speech at the nineteenth anniversary dinner, Bob Young enlarged on this history. This history has drawn upon parts of both efforts. Prior to this current publication there has not been a list of players. Information has been gathered from annual reports post 1924, and newspaper results from 1897 to 1924. My thanks to QCA historian Warwick Torrens who provided information from his vast knowledge of Queensland cricket, and Ian Sturgess also of the QCA who is collecting information on club cricket in Brisbane. The material contained in this book has been collected over a period of three years. I hope you enjoy reading the Club’s history in its hundredth year.
