Following an uncertain start, due to almost predictable rain on Thursdays or Fridays during October and November, all grades were keenly contested with final placings often decided in the last round. Fortunately better weather had arrived by March which produced an excellent series of finals, some very close results and new names on premiership trophies. Congratulations to those clubs that were successful. The season saw several changes on the Executive that meant only 3 people continued in the role they held in the first season of the merger. This, along with not being able to find a suitable replacement for our Umpires' Officer, created some initial problems but these were largely overcome and I would like to commend all Office Bearers and the Umpires' Executive for their efforts in managing the issues that arose during the season. Clubs should not underestimate the amount of time, effort and dedication these people contribute on a voluntary basis to run our large organisation. In our review of the season we identified areas where improvements can be made and steps will be taken to implement changes in the coming season. Clubs can contribute to this process by ensuring their own administration actively assists the objective of conducting a community based sporting organisation where the spirit of the game takes precedence. The Patronage of Camberwell Magpies proved to be a positive and beneficial alliance. Discussions are continuing that should ensure we work together to develop cricket in our region over the coming seasons for the benefit of all concerned. In particular I would like to acknowledge the support and interest of Peter Warner and Russell Thomas in developing this relationship. Our Junior Section continues to flourish under sound administration and clubs are to be congratulated for the effort they devote to this important area 5 President’s Report of the association. Important clubs in the region continue to show interest in joining ECA and this can be attributed to the opportunity we provide for top standard turf, synthetic and junior competitions supported by a sound structure of administration. And now our thoughts start to focus on the season ahead. A celebration of 100 years of organised cricket in the eastern suburbs. It will be a time to recognise the achievements of those clubs and individuals that moulded the association we have today. However it should also be a time to ensure future generations are motivated by the standards we set in providing a community resource and upholding the traditional values of our great game. Unless you propose attending the bi-centenary I urge everyone to become involved in this unique occasion. KEVIN NOY President 6 Executive Council Report Our third season of Eastern Cricket was another that bought with it some strange happenings, crazy weather and good cricket. We lost only one club, Camberwell Magpies from the previous season with other clubs adding or removing sides as they normally do when their areas grow or contract. One new club did join us and we welcomed Mazenod Old Collegians Cricket Club who managed to acquire a Turf Wicket in times when councils and the like are reluctant to install Turf pitches. They bought with them four sides, two Turf and two synthetic. The major news story for year 2001 was the attack of September 11 on the World Trade Centre, a long way from Melbourne but still Eastern Cricket felt the impact of this terrible tragedy. The Turf ground located at the Army barracks was closed when the armed forces were placed on high alert after the events in New York. This created all sorts of grading and redraw problems due to the two clubs placing their effected sides into the synthetic competition. After sorting out most of the pre-season problems, the season got under way in its usual fashion, rain on the first weekend of October. Through out the rest of the season the weather did not favour cricket. You could count on one hand the number of days over 30°C. During the early part of the season the weather was so bad that one synthetic side only managed to get onto the park in mid November missing the first four games. Once the season was in full swing, things progressed fairly smoothly on the playing side The Executive was pleased to note the number of reported players was down from last season, most likely due to the cooler climate. In late November the Executive was contacted by our Patron Club in Camberwell Magpies to see if we could use their main turf ground during the VCA country week in January. The Turf Wicket committee was in favour of the idea so the Dunstan Shield sides were contacted, with Heathmont and 7 Executive Council Report Surrey Hills agreeing to transfer their round 8 clash to the Camberwell Sports Ground. Everyone that participated agreed it was a worthwhile exercise and the Association appreciates Camberwell Magpies support. After a few problems were resolved towards the end of the season, the summer finished with a whimper. However once the finals started the rain seemed to end. There was only one final that was effected by adverse weather in the three weeks of the final series. One of the strange features for the season and the finals was an amazing two tied semi-finals, one in Dunstan and the other in D Grade synthetic. Congratulations to all the premiership winners. Sponsorship remains a valuable tool for your Executive to maintain a sound association and the two major sponsors Kookaburra Sports and Maddocks Sports continued their affiliation . This is the last season of their three year contract and we look forward to fruitful discussions with them for the coming centenary season. In closing I would like to thank the hard working Executive, ably lead by Kevin Noy in his first season, for their assistance through out the year. I especially would like to thank the three Vice Presidents, Craig Tobias, Dennis Butler and Greg Arvidsson who I ring constantly with one problem or another, I hope their partners give them time off next season to continue their good work. ROD PATTERSON Secretary/Manager 8 Appreciation The Association has been well supported by a number of organisations and individuals. This support has been extremely important to us and we wish to recognise and record our appreciation to the following: • The local councils of Boroondara, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash, Stonnington, Whitehorse and Yarra for their efforts in providing the excellent facilities enjoyed by our clubs. In particular the overall standard of turf wickets is the envy of other Associations.

  • Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection
    Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection Hamish Thorburn Dr Michael Forbes The University of Queensland 26/02/2015 1 1 Abstract An attempt was made to try and select the Australian Test Cricket Team for then-upcoming series against India in December-January 2014-2015. Data was collected pertaining to 37 Australian cricket players, relating to both recent form (the 12 months prior to commencement of the project) and career form across multiple formats of the game. The team was selected using a mixed-integer- programming (MIP) model, after processing the statistics collected to create usable parameters for the model. It was found that the team selected by the MIP model shared only 5 of the 11 players with the actual team selected by the Australian Board of Selectors to compete in the series. When altering parameters of the model, it was found that the batting diversity of the team could be doubled while only losing 0.008 of the available talent of selected players. The reduced costs were calculated to determine how close unselected players were to being selected, and what they would have to increase their batting/bowling averages to be considered for selection. Finally, we compared the ICC player ratings to our calculated batting and bowling indices, to try to determine the optimal weighting between the different statistics. It was found that batting average was most important in batting performance (but was more important in test matches than one-day matches) and that bowling average and economy were equally important in bowling performance. 2 Introduction 2.1 The Game of Cricket Cricket is a sport composing of opposing teams of 11 players each side.

  • STEVE WAUGH Published 16.3.17 It Was Test Match Cricket That You Couldn't Take Your Eyes Off It Was Predictable but Still Disa
    STEVE WAUGH Published 16.3.17 It was Test match cricket that you couldn’t take your eyes off It was predictable but still disappointing that a brilliant Test match in which two sides had to draw upon all their reserves of mental and physical toughness in an old fashioned dogfight that saw conflict, confrontation, skill and tension before a remarkable comeback from the home, was somewhat forgotten in the aftermath of the DRS controversy. That said, I could understand the talk, the speculation and the spin each expert gave on what transpired in Bangalore. After all, the captains involved are two of the most popular and revered figures in the game today. Hopefully, the incident is behind both teams and not still smouldering as they ready themselves for the third Test in Ranchi. I was in Bangalore to witness the first three days of the Test and it was an engrossing game on a difficult pitch where batsmen could get runs if they punished the loose balls and capitalised on moments of good fortune. There was more than enough variable bounce to keep the quick bowlers interested and prodigious turn at times to enable the spinners to dominate. Both teams had their opportunities to seize the momentum but chasing 150 or more in the fourth innings was always going to be a demanding examination for the Australians particularly with Ashwin and Jadeja ready to restrict and then ultimately strangle as would an anaconda its prey. Looking ahead, Australia are in Ranchi for the venue’s debut Test without their strike bowler Mitchell Starc.

  • Cricket and the Law: Ball Tampering, Contracts and Enterprise Bargaining Agreements
    CRICKET AND THE LAW: BALL TAMPERING, CONTRACTS AND ENTERPRISE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS CHRIS DAVIES* AND SAM LANSKY** ABSTRACT Cricket in Australia has faced two recent crises, the first being the prolonged enterprise bargaining negotiations between Cricket Australia (CA) and the Australian Cricketers Association (ACA) that resulted in a situation where, for a few months, Cricket Australia had no contracted players. This meant that during this period CA had no players to fulfil its contractual broadcasting obligations. When the matter was finally resolved it is very much in favour of the players as CA backed down on it position of not using the revenue sharing model. It is suggested this highlights that it is players who now hold the greater bargaining power when it comes to negotiations. The second crisis involved the ball tampering incident in South Africa, with CA banning three players from playing first-class cricket in Australia for up to twelve months. It is suggested that given the severity of the incident and its late season timing, the penalties were reasonable and therefore legal under the terms of the players¶ contracts. I INTRODUCTION During 2017-18 cricket in Australia faced two significant crises. The first was the GUDZQRXWQHJRWLDWLRQVEHWZHHQ&ULFNHW$XVWUDOLD &$ DQGWKH$XVWUDOLDQ&ULFNHWHUV¶ Association (ACA) in what has been described as the most significant pay dispute in Australian cricket history,1 one that, temporarily at least, brought professional cricket in Australia to a standstill.
