A T20 century on New Years’s Day and another on Saturday in the Ford Trophy One Dayer. In recent weeks, 71 for the Aces and 97 for Parnell plus this ton, show him to be in tremendous form. Time to look at his marvelous cricketing career – only 23 now, Mark has heaps of experience starting from when he represented Hong Kong Under 15s. Vice Captain of Hong Kong in the last 2nd Tier World Cup, his career stats are outstanding. Mark is eligible for New Zealand selection (his Dad, Peter, is a New Zealander) and Mark has shelved aspirations for representing Hong Kong further. He was Head Prefect at King’s College, captained their 1st XI and, last year, completed his engineering degree. Mark’s performances at representative level speak for themselves – as can be seen from ESPNcricinfo’s stats below (to 6.2.2018 – yesterday’s 41 not included): Mark Chapman Hong Kong Full name Mark Sinclair Chapman Born June 27, 1994, Hong Kong Current age 23 years 223 days Major teams Hong Kong, Hong Kong Cricket Club,Hong Kong Under-15s, Hong Kong Under-19s Playing role Allrounder Batting style Left-hand bat Bowling style Slow left-arm orthodox Education King's College, Auckland Batting and fielding averages Mat Inns NO Runs HS Ave BF SR 100 50 4s 6s Ct St ODIs 2 2 1 151 124* 151.00 151 100.00 1 0 11 3 1 0 T20Is 19 18 1 392 63* 23.05 347 112.96 0 1 34 9 4 0 First-class 13 22 0 689 81 31.31 1103 62.46 0 6 90 9 10 0 List A 32 29 4 1388 157 55.52 1450 95.72 4 8 134 24 18 0 T20s 52 46 3 1036 101 24.09 795 130.31 1 5 86 36 14 0 Bowling averages Mat Inns Balls Runs Wkts BBI BBM Ave Econ SR 4w 5w 10 ODIs 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - T20Is 19 4 60 77 3 1/10 1/10 25.66 7.70 20.0 0 0 0 First-class 13 9 330 219 1 1/60 1/105 219.00 3.98 330.0 0 0 0 List A 32 16 353 377 7 2/27 2/27 53.85 6.40 50.4 0 0 0 T20s 52 17 210 281 10 3/22 3/22 28.10 8.02 21.0 0 0 0 Career statistics ODI debut United Arab Emirates v Hong Kong at ICCA Dubai, Nov 16, 2015 scorecard Last ODI United Arab Emirates v Hong Kong at ICCA Dubai, Nov 18, 2015 scorecard ODI statistics T20I debut Hong Kong v Nepal at Chittagong, Mar 16, 2014 scorecard Last T20I Hong Kong v Scotland at Nagpur, Mar 12, 2016 scorecard T20I statistics First-class debut Auckland v Northern Districts at Auckland, Dec 17-20, 2015 scorecard Last First-class Auckland v Canterbury at Auckland, Nov 24-26, 2017 scorecard List A debut Hong Kong v Uganda at ICCA 2 Dubai, Apr 8, 2011 scorecard Last List A Wellington v Auckland at Wellington, Feb 4, 2018 scorecard T20s debut Hong Kong v Italy at Abu Dhabi, Nov 15, 2013 scorecard Last T20s Auckland v Central Districts at Auckland, Jan 17, 2018 scorecard Recent matches Bat & Bowl Team Opposition Ground Match Date Scorecard 117 Auckland v Wellington Wellington 4 Feb 2018 LA 71, 0/13 Auckland v Northern D Whangarei 31 Jan 2018 LA 0/24, 0 Auckland v Central D Auckland 27 Jan 2018 LA 7 Auckland v Central D Auckland 17 Jan 2018 T20 5 Auckland v Otago Auckland 14 Jan 2018 T20 23 Auckland v Canterbury Auckland 10 Jan 2018 T20 57 Auckland v Northern D Auckland 7 Jan 2018 T20 101, 0/10 Auckland v Canterbury Christchurch 1 Jan 2018 T20 20 Auckland v Otago Alexandra 28 Dec 2017 T20 64 Auckland v Wellington Auckland 24 Dec 2017 T20 Chappie – for Hong Kong in the World Cup T20 Qualifiying series, March 2016 Chappie played marvelously – then frustration, and reflection following the narrow loss to Scotland - Photos from ESPNcricinfo website Men’s Premier Grade Hedley Howarth Trophy – Two Day Championship Resumes – ROUND 6. 27 Jan. & 3 Feb.

Points – 1st innings points shared, 3 each plus bonus points. DAY 2. AND THE RAIN CAME DOWN Following a miserable, drizzly morning with no prospect of play starting on time, lunch was taken early at 12.45 pm. After lunch the heavens opened and it was no surprise when the umpires confered with the captains. Absolutely no prospect of play and the game was abandoned. Then, less than 15 minutes later, the sun came out – Auckland weather to a T! But, whilst we had some 90 minutes of sunshine, the rain continued to threaten and then came a final deluge. The Premier players by then had dispersed and it was left to the Pressies, prompted by Ian Trott who looked in after the Auckland Grammar game was abandoned, to remove and pack away the covers. A very necessary measure to save the pitch block from fungal attack and other damage. This was done in steady drizzle and it was good to note that the pitch itself, apart from one very small damp patch was as dry as a bone – the covers had done their duty! PLAY ABANDONED - PRESSIES, & IAN TROTT, PACK AWAY THE COVERS: ONE CAN SEE WHY THERE WAS NO PLAY!!

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.

From Ithe day I joined the International Cricket Council (ICC)’s elite panel in 2008, two years after I stood in my first international at the Oval, I trained for every game, and in particular Test matches, in pretty much the same way and certainly with a bit more professionalism than when I played for England back in the 1980s when warm-ups usually consisted of a few laps of the outfield and some stretches with the physio Bernard Thomas, who was the equivalent of a modern-day strength and conditioning coach back then. Two days before the game started, I would go down to the ground, dump my gear in the umpires’ 17 GUNNER: MY LIFE IN CRICKET room, wander over to the nets and stand at one end during each team’s practice and just observe. When you think about it, it’s an obvious thing to do. The international game moves so quickly these days that when I began a new series in a different country there were invariably bowlers and batsmen who I had not come across before.

Then, whilst in Sydney, for NSW from 2014 to 2018. Will returned to NZ later last year, accepted a contract with ACA and joined Parnell. Selected for the Black Caps’ series vs Pakistan in the UAE in December, he took, in the 3rd Test on debut, 7/127 (4/75 and 3/52). This enabled NZ to win the Test by 123 runs and so take out the series. Will’s apparences for Parnell were limited but he did well for Auckland and was awarded Cricketer of the Year – the John Bentham Morris Memorial Trophy, the first Parnell player to be so honoured since Ross Morgan in 1978/79.
