    History of Nunawading Cricket Club Nunawading, What’s in a name To get a wider understanding of how the Club started and, in fact, how the BHRDCA started it is worth spending a while discussing the history of the Nunawading and Box Hill districts. There is a strong correlation between the ‘parishes’ of Nunawading, in particular, and Box Hill and the longer serving BHRDCA teams, Nunawading included. Over the next few paragraphs, I will provide a brief history of how Nunawading, formerly Tunstall, came to be and it’s progress from a rural bushland into the busy middle class suburb it has been since the war. The First people of Nunawading When white men first arrived in Victoria, in 1835 the indigenous Aboriginal community was displaced and had to move from traditional grounds, being occupied by Europeans, to displaced locations. When this displacement occurred to the aborigines in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, or perhaps to continue the old, traditional ways, Melbourne’s aborigines, who formed tribes all over the countryside, met in community places and would declare the fundamentals of the unity that existed between them. Following this show of unity more business like matters like common interests and disputes were discussed. One of these meeting places was in Melbourne’s East in a place thought to have been called Numpha-wading by the local aborigines and called Nunawading by the new European settlers, keen to preserve the indigenous names. The popular translation for this word is ‘ceremonial ground’. The boundaries of the native Nunawading were unclear, even to the aborigines and the parish of Nunawading was hilly and heavily timbered and covered a large area.

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.

  • CWC 2007 Remember When
    The Official Newsletter of ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 Final Edition Highlights from CWC 2007 Remember when... a trip down memory lane Final Edition Bravo to CWC 2007 Organisers t had its controversies and detractors, but ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 will go down in history I as 0ne of the most memorable world cups ever. Logistically, staging the CWC 2007 across nine countries was never going to be easy but the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) broke historic new ground by pulling off a most successful tournament, said the ICC. “The stadiums were excellent and will be a lasting legacy for the future young cricketers of the region. Chris Dehring and his team did a superb job and I would be grateful if you could please pass on my gratitude and best wishes to them and members of the CWC 2007 Board,” stated former ICC President, Eshan Mani in a congratulatory note to the WICB. “I have had the privilege of being involved in the last four (ICC Cricket) World Cups. The organisation of (ICC) CWC 2007 was the best I have seen.” Millions of viewers around the world tuned in to view a sensational opening ceremony on March 11 at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium in Jamaica. A wonderful synergy of sound, colour and movement, the opening gala was a vivid exhibition of the Caribbean’s diverse heritage and creative spirit, which ended with a dazzling fireworks display that left the audience mesmerised. The ceremony featured live performances of some of the region’s top acts and international music artistes including Ashe dancers (Jamaica), Aisling dancers (Ireland), Lucky Dube (South Africa), Third World (Jamaica), David Rudder (Trinidad), and Alison Hinds (Barbados).

  • 6 a Taste for More
    6 A TASTE FOR MORE Leaving Sabina Park after the game against Zimbabwe the boys were enjoying their first taste of big time cricket – and we wanted more. The twenty-minute bus ride back to the hotel saw Ireland’s Call sung several times and I gave my customary loud rendition of Aru Cha Cha. Arriving back at the team hotel and I continued what had developed into a routine of shaking hands with our security man, Big D, and he would reply ‘Respect, One love’. Sky Sports, RTÉ, Newstalk and a huge sub-continental press contingent were there: ‘Can you guys win this group?’, ‘Is this a flash in the pan?’, ‘What’s next for Ireland?’, ‘Will the team party hard tonight?’ Once it was over I sat down just in time to watch the highlights of the Zimbabwe game. While I had been involved in televised games before it was very strange watching myself on the replay, possibly because of the amount of camera time that I was given. It made an impression on me and from then on I was more cautious about my on-field behaviour. That night, JB and I had a couple of beers watching the highlights of our game again, as well as those of Sri Lanka v Bermuda. Poor Bermuda were given a lesson, losing by 243 runs. Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara had gone to town on their attack, while the Sri Lankan bowlers looked like they were playing against club cricketers. It wasn’t a great advertisement for the so-called ‘minnows’.
