cricket new south wales 2006/07 annual report  CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT

Cricket NSW continued to achieve outstanding results through our underpinning High Performance Programs. In 2004/05 and 2005/06, NSW had achieved a stunning clean sweep of all the male and female underage National Championships.

This season, NSW was victorious in the male U/19 and the female U/15 (joint winners), U/17 and U/19 Championships, as well as runners up in the male U/17 competition. These are again excellent results and I congratulate High Performance Manager Alan Campbell and his coaches, David Freedman, Trent Woodhill, Lisa Sthalekar, Martin Garoni, Neil McDonald and Kerry Marshall on their work in preparing the teams.

In 2006/07, Cricket NSW experienced unprecedented commercial growth due to the hype surrounding the Ashes Series. As well as record gate receipts being achieved, there was a significant increase in the demand for ground signage, corporate hospitality and from the in-bound tour market. As a result, Cricket NSW’s record turnover of $33M, and surplus of $5M, will allow greater investment to be made in the promotion and development of cricket in NSW.

The development of cricket in NSW obviously remains a high priority. Buoyed by the huge interest shown towards the 2005 UK Ashes Series, participation levels in NSW rose by a staggering 20% in 2005/06. I am Chief Executive, David Gilbert. delighted to report that our census figures for 2006/07 show that not only have we retained this growth, we have also achieved a small increase in participants. This is a tribute to the hard work of our Community and Country Cricket Departments. 2006/07 was a rewarding year for Cricket NSW. The much anticipated Ashes Series ensured that cricket, in all its forms, enjoyed maximum As part of this strategy, Cricket NSW again committed significant funds interest and I am pleased to report that Cricket NSW was able to meet to the Play Cricket recruitment campaign, which featured Australian the challenges this presented. and SpeedBlitz Blues batsman Michael Clarke.

This is an exceptional record and few teams, until the end of the 2009/10 season. There can be little doubt that Telstra in any sport, can claim such dominance over such a period of time. It was Stadium will be an outstanding venue for cricket in the long term. indeed a true test of character for Coach Lisa Keightley and her players to recover brilliantly from the poor start of three losses in their opening Over the last 12 months Cricket NSW has again been fortunate to have four matches to qualify for, and ultimately win, the Finals Series. the support of the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA).

First class cricket in nsw CELEBRATES 150 YEARS 2006/07 was a memorable season in the history of Cricket NSW, marking 150 years since the first ever First Class match was played in this State. 150YEARS The maiden First Class match in NSW was played against Victoria at OF FIRST-CLASS The Domain from the 14-16 January, 1857. This occasion was brought to CRICKET IN NSW the attention of Cricket NSW by Honorary Librarian, Dr Colin Clowes, ANNIvERSARY who also researched and compiled a book titled “150 Years of First Class PROgRAm Cricket in NSW”. In this chronicle, Dr Clowes documents every First Class match played by NSW from 1856 to the end of the 2005/06 season. vs As part of his research, Dr Clowes also selected the best ever NSW team of the last 150 years. To be eligible for selection in this side a player 16 –19th January 2007 had to have made their First Class debut for NSW and only their record Sydney Cricket ground for NSW was considered. After months of painstaking analysis and tough decision making, Dr Clowes finally settled on the following 12 legends: Arthur Morris, Bob Simpson, , Victor Trumper, Charlie Macartney, Stephen Waugh, Billy Murdoch (wicketkeeper), Richie Benaud, Alan Davidson, Ray Lindwall, Charles Turner and Bill O’Reilly. While no 12th man was named, Don Bradman was nominated as the captain of the side. The team was formally announced by the Premier of NSW, the Hon. Morris Iemma MP on the 15th January 2007 during a function for past and present players. The evening was held at the ‘Strangers’ Dining Room at Parliament House overlooking The Domain. Every year we make our mark The following day, the SpeedBlitz Blues played Victoria at the SCG in a Pura Cup fixture. Cricket NSW had requested the match to be scheduled to coincide with the Anniversary. Continuing the celebrations, a plaque was unveiled on a wall of the SCG Members Stand and a special Match Day on the record books. Program was produced listing every NSW First Class representative since 1856. Unfortunately history was unable to repeat itself with the Victorian’s snatching a remarkable win on the final day.

We began the season well with two early wins against Queensland and but struggled in the middle part of the season with a number of changes to playing personnel. With the exception of Brad Haddin, our batsmen were inconsistent early in the season and struggled for runs. It was not until returned to the team and others found form that we were able to give our bowlers a decent target. It was certainly a hot and cold season and, unfortunately, that was exactly how we played in the Pura Cup Final.

We failed to win another game in the competition to finish at the bottom of the table.

SpeedBlitz Blues v South Australia Sydney Cricket Ground, 17-20 October 2006 The Pura Cup match between the SpeedBlitz Blues and South Australia ended in a draw. Bad light and rain prevented much play in the final with the game set up for both sides to win. The SpeedBlitz Blues finished at 5/190, needing another 104 runs to win the match. Phil Jaques was named Man of the Match for his double of 163 and 79. The aggressive left-hander continued where he left off last summer, posting a big score to kick-start his season. Other highlights included a first innings return to form from Matthew Nicholson who took three wickets, including the prized scalp of South Australia’s skipper . In the second innings Doug Bollinger bowled a superb opening spell to take the first four wickets, while Stuart MacGill also finished with four wickets. An inspired spell from in the first innings saw the SpeedBlitz Blues lose 6/29, to curtail any thoughts of a first innings lead. This match marked the first appearance in a baggy blue for both Moises Henriques and Beau Casson. First Class debutant Moises Henriques returned an encouraging 2/59 from 17 overs. At just 19, he became one of only a few players in the last 25 years to make their debut for NSW as a teenager, the others being Steve Waugh, Michael Clarke and Shane Lee. After moving from Western Australia during the winter, former Warriors spinner Beau Casson grabbed his first wicket in a baggy blue cap when he had brilliantly caught by Jaques.

20 cricket new south wales 2006/07 annual report SpeedBlitz Blues v Queensland The Gabba – 27-30 October 2006 A brilliant team effort delivered the SpeedBlitz Blues their first win of the season.

Skipper Brad Haddin was named Man-of-the-Match for his first innings century. He and Dominic Thornely (97) put on 205 runs in 245 balls after the SpeedBlitz Blues had slumped to 4/52 on the opening morning.

SpeedBlitz Blues v South Australia Adelaide Oval – 3-6 November 2006 The SpeedBlitz Blues won a dramatic Pura Cup match against South Australia inside three days. Chasing 134 to win, the SpeedBlitz Blues slumped to 4/1, with Jaques, Mail, Cowan and Haddin all dismissed without scoring. Redbacks pacemen Shaun Tait and were devastating, further reducing the visitors to 5/12 then 6/46. It was left to Dominic Thornely and Stuart Clark to launch a rescue mission. Clark became the unlikely batting hero, clubbing 62 from just 37 balls including four sixes and three fours. He and Thornely made the most of their luck with each the beneficiary of a missed chance from the Redbacks. But there was a final twist when Clark was caught in the deep then fellow paceman Matthew Nicholson was out first ball with the visitors still needing five runs for victory. With number 10 Doug Bollinger at the , Thornely stepped up to the plate, hooking Tait for six to clinch a sensational victory. Thornely finished on 47 not out while Clark was named Man-of-the-Match. His second innings figures of 6/39 from 21 overs saw SA bowled out for 267. He finished with eight wickets for the match however it was his batting that stole the show. The Test hopeful had again pressed his claims for a place in the Australian team to play England in the First Test at the Gabba. The SpeedBlitz Blues had recorded two Pura Cup victories inside a week, to be well placed after three rounds on 12 points. However there was still room for improvement with the side dropping seven catches in the first innings, despite bowling SA out for 154.

SpeedBlitz Blues v Queensland Sydney Cricket Ground, 1-4 March 2007 The SpeedBlitz Blues went into their final home game for the season minus Stuart Clark and Brad Haddin who had both been called into the Australian squad for the World Cup. Batting first, Jaques unleashed on the Queensland attack. He made 141 from 197 balls including 21 fours. His brought little relief for the visiting bowlers with Simon Katich and Dominic Thornely both posting centuries before stumps. Day two began with Dominic Thornely falling for 119 however Katich ensured a rapid flow of runs with the help of debutant Peter Forrest (40) and wicketkeeper Daniel Smith (51). The SpeedBlitz Blues innings was finally declared closed at 4/613 with Katich remaining 205 not out. His innings lasted 290 balls with 24 fours and two sixes. Queensland also made the most of the good batting conditions during their first innings. Clinton Perren led the charge with 110 while Ryan Broad (83) and Chris Simpson (85 not out) provided excellent support. All-rounder Grant Lambert toiled hard for the SpeedBlitz Blues with a return of 4/77 from 20 overs. Needing an outright result to remain in the hunt for the Final, Queensland captain abandoned the chase for first innings points when the score reached 8/464. Ed Cowan was the highlight of the home team’s second innings, smashing 128 from 121 balls as the SpeedBlitz Blues compiled a quick-fire 3 (dec) 215. Queensland needed 364 runs in two sessions to win the match. An outstanding opening stand of 197 between Ryan Broad (111) and Jimmy Maher (87) got them on their way. However the loss of the openers resulted in regular wickets. In the end, both teams ran out of time. Queensland needed just nine more runs for victory and the SpeedBlitz Blues two wickets when stumps were drawn. MacGill finished with 5/114 from 24 overs while Nicholson took 2/64 from 13 overs. Ryan Broad was named Man-of-the-Match for his double of 111 and 83.

However it could have been a lot worse after they were bowled out for a historic low of 53 in the first innings. The match did not begin well for the SpeedBlitz Blues with captain Simon Katich succumbing to a thumb injury, while paceman Matt Nicholson was unable to travel with the team pending the birth of his twin sons. They were replaced by debutant Ben Rohrer and Mark Cameron while Dominic Thornely deputised for Katich. Tasmania made 370 in its first innings. Michael Di Venuto was the difference between the two teams scoring 181 while for the SpeedBlitz Blues Mark Cameron recorded his first five-wicket haul (5/116) and Stuart MacGill took 4/60. The afternoon of day two proved disastrous for the SpeedBlitz Blues. Nothing went right for the batsmen and they were destroyed for just 53 – the lowest ever score by a NSW team in the history of Sheffield Shield/Pura Cup cricket. Batting a second time, the SpeedBlitz Blues made 498 with centuries to stand-in Captain Dominic Thornely and a brilliant 163 from debutant Ben Rohrer. A prolific run scorer in Grade cricket, Rohrer made the most of his late call-up with an impressive knock under pressure. The SpeedBlitz Blues went on to lose the game however they still qualified for the Final after Victoria lost to Queensland at the Gabba, then the bottom placed South Australia recorded their first victory of the season to deny Western Australia a place in the decider.

Pura Cup Final SpeedBlitz Blues v Tasmania Bellerive Oval - 19-23 March 2007 Tasmania won its first ever First Class title, defeating the SpeedBlitz Blues by 421 runs. Tasmania won the toss and batted first although it was the SpeedBlitz Blues who grabbed the upper hand, reducing the hosts to 5/94 after 30 overs. However the Tasmanians showed great resilience, recovering to make 340. The Tigers lower-order would prove to be a thorn in the visitor’s side for the entire match. All-rounder made 66 and paceman Damien Wright top-scored with 67 to push them to 340. Doug Bollinger recorded his first five wicket haul in First-Class cricket, finishing with 5/73 from 26 overs. In reply, the SpeedBlitz Blues could only manage 230. At one stage they were cruising at 2/137 however they lost 6/70 in the final session of day two to be 8/207 at stumps. Phil Jaques top scored with 82 and Grant Lambert made 61. The SpeedBlitz Blues had opportunities again in the second innings to restrict Tasmania. The home side was 6/176 before a 163-run stand from century makers Luke Butterworth and Sean Clingeleffer put Tasmania in a strong position. Clingeleffer then added 93 with Damien Wright (47) before Tasmania was finally dismissed for 460, leaving the SpeedBlitz Blues to chase an improbable 571 in a day for victory. They only managed 149 with Damien Wright taking 5/13 and snaring 4/22, including his 60th wicket for the season. The SpeedBlitz Blues did well to make the Final but were outplayed in the decider by Tasmania, who was a worthy winner after finishing ten points clear at the top of the table after the preliminary rounds.
