Newsflash – February 2010 Vanuatu legend Pierre Chilia retires Vanuatu legend Pierre Chilia has decided to hang up the whites, retiring from International Cricket effective immediately. Chilia, the current General Manager of the Vanuatu Cricket Association noted, “I have spent the last 14 years doing something I love and that has been playing cricket for my country.” “I have loved every minute that I have represented Vanuatu and it is a privilege and honour that I will always appreciate and remember.” “Vanuatu Cricket, I think at this moment in time, is going the right way, the right direction it should be going especially with the young players coming through. With Andrew Mansale’s leadership, I personally believe the players will do well." “I will of course continue to show my support by helping the players, mentally and physically at times.” At his best Chilia was on outstanding new ball bowler with pace and bounce, and moved the ball considerably. He was an outstanding competitor and, according to ICC EAP Regional Development Officer Charlie Burke, one of the best slips catchers he has ever seen. Vanuatu, just recently achieving ICC Associate Status, was the top ranked team not already embedded in World Cricket League at the 2009 Pepsi ICC EAP Men’s Cricket Trophy held in September in Samoa, resulting in Vanuatu being selected as the East Asia – Pacific representative in Pepsi World Cricket League Division 8 to be held in late 2010.

The decline had perhaps begun as early as the 1999 World Cup final, and peaked during the 2003 World Cup tournament and it became more obvious in the aftermath of the twin series defeats against India at home in early 2004. The services of Bob Woolmer as coach were acquired by the Pakistan Cricket Board in an effort to ensure that the team came up with improved performance and did justice with the loads of talent. The move has paid dividends.
