Weekly Update Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.149 - Black Caps Win by Innings & 49 Runs England 58 & 320 New Zealand 427/8 dec. – Not the Light, nor the pitch, nor the ball!! New Zealand departing Eden Park having just dismissed England for 320 to win by an innings and 49 runs! Sensational – never has your Editor, in 65 years of watching Test cricket, seen New Zealand be so dominant throughout a game. To have England 8/23 before drinks, in the 1st session, on the 1st Day was beyond all belief. Our record 26 was in jeopardy but that England managed to scrape to 58 was of no consequence. Trent Boult and Tim Southee – utterly brilliant, no need for sugar or sandpaper! Kane Williamson, superb innings and backed by an equally superb knock from Henry Nicholls. Magnificent fielding – one will never see better catches than the two taken by Williamson – to dismiss Broad in the 1st innings and Bairstow on the 2nd. He lead the side with distinction, managed his attack very shrewdly, and, on the last day, used Astle and Wagner to very good effect. Day/Night Tests – excellent, but a disappointing turnout from the Auckland public – sensational cricket being played, some of England’s greats on show: Cook, Root, Anderson, Broad (who took his 400th wicket), and our own brilliant Black Caps. What more does the public want?

  • Indian Premier League 2019
    VVS LAXMAN Published 3.4.19 The last ten days have reiterated just how significant a place the Indian Premier League has carved for itself on the cricke�ng landscape. Spectacular ac�on and stunning performances have brought the tournament to life right from the beginning, and I expect the next six weeks to be no less gripping. From our point of view, I am delighted at how well Hyderabad have bounced back from defeat in our opening match, against Kolkata. Even in that game, we were in control �ll the end of the 17th over of the chase, but Andre Russell took it away from us with brilliant ball-striking. Even though I was in the opposi�on dugout, I couldn’t help but marvel at how he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The beauty of our franchise is that the shoulders never droop, the heads never drop. There is too much experience, quality and class among the playing group for that to happen. As members of the support staff, our endeavour is to keep the players in a good mental space. But eventually, it is the players who have to deliver on the park, and that’s what they have done in the last two games. David Warner has been outstanding. There is li�le sign that he has been out of interna�onal cricket for a year. His work ethics are exemplary, and I can see the hunger and desire in his eyes. He is striking the ball as beau�fully as ever, and there is a calmness about him that is infec�ous.

  • Weekly Update – 24 October 2009
    Parnell Cricket Club Incorporated - Established 1858 Update No.174 – Black Caps Pipped Again Unbelievable – Deja Vue – Black Caps Pipped Again! Call it what you will, the Tie at Eden Park on Sunday, in the series deciding 5th T20, was the most extraordinary coincidence. Again, NZ lost fewer wickets to England, the winner of the “super over”. But who makes the rules by which these games are played? Consider these logics: CRICKET IS A GAME BETWEEN TWO TEAMS – OBJECT TO SCORE MORE RUNS/TAKE MORE WICKETS THAN THE OTHER TEAM • Why then not award the game, when tied, to the Team that loses the fewer wickets – on this basis NZ would have won the ICC CWC (lost only 8 wickets to England’s 10) and yesterday’s T20 (T11) – NZ lost 5, England 7 wickets. • But why, in the ICC CWC, was England able to contest the “super over” – it had lost all 10 wickets. Should have been end of story! • Or, if a “super over” has to be bowled, then wouldn’t it be more logical for the batsmen to be those who were not out or still to bat? Once out means OUT? And bowl only a bowler who hadn’t used his T20 quota. In the interest of fairness and logic! Having got that angst off my chest, what a remarkable game yesterday! Talk of coincidences – and quite extraordinary that the game even took place. We had waited all day Saturday for the forecast rain which, most thankfully, held off. And Sunday morning was fine – when the rain did come, around 11am, it came! The whole of Auckland was blanketed – not too heavy but steady and the wind had dropped.

  • Weekly Update – 24 October 2009
    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.
