Rajesh Bhat This journey has been an extremely rewarding experience for us mainly because of unwavering support of many people in Cupertino and larger Bay area – Cupertino City Council, Cupertino Parks & Recreation Department, other Cricket leagues in the region and above all, hundreds of parents who have devoted thousands of hours of their valuable time in helping us promote this wonderful team sport just because of their passion for the game. Can you match the pictures on page 27 CCA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and its survival and progress depend on donations.

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.

It was no surprise that he was given the wicket-keeping duties in the first Randwick Petersham team in 2001-02. In that first season Daryl set a new Sydney Cricket Association record for predominantly two day match competitions with 64 dismissals comprising 53 catches and 11 stumpings. In the match against Parramatta he effected seven dismissals in an innings with five caught and two stumped.

  • Justice Qayyum's Report
    PART I BACKGROUND TO INQUIRY 1. Cricket has always put itself forth as a gentleman’s game. However, this aspect of the game has come under strain time and again, sadly with increasing regularity. From BodyLine to Trevor Chappel bowling under-arm, from sledging to ball tampering, instances of gamesmanship have been on the rise. Instances of sportsmanship like Courtney Walsh refusing to run out a Pakistani batsman for backing up too soon in a crucial match of the 1987 World Cup; Imran Khan, as Captain calling back his counterpart Kris Srikanth to bat again after the latter was annoyed with the decision of the umpire; batsmen like Majid Khan walking if they knew they were out; are becoming rarer yet. Now, with the massive influx of money and sheer increase in number of matches played, cricket has become big business. Now like other sports before it (Baseball (the Chicago ‘Black-Sox’ against the Cincinnati Reds in the 1919 World Series), Football (allegations against Bruce Grobelar; lights going out at the Valley, home of Charlton Football club)) Cricket Inquiry Report Page 1 Cricket faces the threat of match-fixing, the most serious threat the game has faced in its life. 2. Match-fixing is an international threat. It is quite possibly an international reality too. Donald Topley, a former county cricketer, wrote in the Sunday Mirror in 1994 that in a county match between Essex and Lancashire in 1991 Season, both the teams were heavily paid to fix the match. Time and again, former and present cricketers (e.g. Manoj Prabhakar going into pre-mature retirement and alleging match-fixing against the Indian team; the Indian Team refusing to play against Pakistan at Sharjah after their loss in the Wills Trophy 1991 claiming matches there were fixed) accused different teams of match-fixing.

    PCB Highlights 1 April – 30 June 5th Edition PCB to spend PKR5.29billion on cricket in 2020-21 season The Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) held their second meeting of the year via a videoconference in which they approved a PKR7.76billion operating expenditure budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year. This was a 10 per cent reduction from the 2019-20 fiscal year as the PCB continued its austerity drive as part of its financial management exercise. While budgets were reduced in other functional areas, there was no reduction in cricket-related activities as the PCB committed to spending PKR5.29billion on cricket over the next 12 months. This includes PKR1.8billion in High Performance, PKR1.4bil- lion on international cricket, PKR1.4billion on HBL Pakistan Super League 2021, PKR109million on Medical and Sports Sciences, PKR411million on women’s cricket and PKR39million on disabled cricket. The High Performance has the biggest budget as it incorporates domestic cricket expenses as following restructuring, the acade- mies and domestic cricket have been brought under one umbrella. This cost includes players/match officials/curator contracts, domestic events and their prize moneys and academy programmes. The following is the department-wise breakdown of the 2020-21 budget: Departments 2020-21 budget (PKR) Another significant approval by the BoG was of the PCB Code of Ethics, first time Administration 274,626,961 that the PCB has introduced this code as Commercial 232,395,000 part of its good governance practices and Disabled cricket 39,500,000 in line with Article 44(d) of the PCB Election and Scrutiny 36,520,000 Constitution 2019.

Our speaker enjoyed a 46 year playing career in the Lancashire League, first with Todmorden, birthplace of the immortal Derek Shackleton, and then with nearby Walsden. He is now Cricket Chairman of Walsden Cricket and Bowling Club and President of the Central Lancashire League – quite an honour for a Yorkshireman!

  • Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid
    50 51 Jan 2006 2006 Jan 2006 Jan Cricinfo preview Cricinfo Be afraid, be very afraid They may still be flashy and prone to combust but Pakistan now also have a formidable cohesiveness and a more pronounced backbone. India may just be in for a surprise when they visit, warns Osman Samiuddin. Photograph by Aamir Qureshi/AFP/Getty Images akistan is dead, long live Pakistan. Inescapably this offered itself as a chant after the Lahore win over England. As a Test series win, it Pwas special; they hadn’t won one anywhere for nearly two years. At home, they hadn’t done so for longer. But unmistakably, in the afterglow the air was heavy with meaning. Pakistan had beaten England before, they had been indomitable at home before, they had perpetrated similar imploding heists too. But that last- day victory, built on four days of proper, widespread graft and 14 days of progression echoed a broader, longer-term trend altogether. The series win too had come on the back of 18 months where Pakistan worked, scrapped and fought for stalemates, through a whitewash, through injuries to key players, through better opponents, all the while evolving. Precisely because of what preceded it, it can be construed a milestone win and it may well herald a new time. When India now visit, they will meet a fresh Pakistan side, new and improved from the last time India toured and newer still from Pakistan’s tour last year. In identity they may not have changed that much, but in spirit they undoubtedly have.
