100 Years of the Murrumbeena Cricket Club 1. Team of the Century The Murrumbeena Cricket Club “Team of the Century” was announced at the MCC Centenary Dinner, the major function held during the centenary year. This was planned to be the highlight of the evening, and a great deal of the event’s planning was geared around the team’s announcement and the presentations. Selection Very early in the planning process a selection panel was formed, and over numerous evening meetings the team took shape. As expected, about half of the names virtually picked themselves, and were effectively selected from day 1. Adding the other the names to the team (or “cutting” from the list of candidates) was a painstaking and lengthy process, before the last player was chosen. The first step in the selection process was to specify the criteria. The major viewpoint was that Murrumbeena is a suburban, community club, and therefore a key component was to be not just the ability of the player concerned, but also to factor in the involvement in the club. Club legend Leigh Hardham has been quoted many times as saying the best batsman he ever saw playing at Murrumbeena was Ron Crippen. Ron played first class cricket for New South Wales, relocated to Victoria, but returned to Sydney after only playing three games. Likewise, players of the 1950s would no doubt class Wally Driver as the best they have seen, and with almost 1000 runs in two seasons that’s a perfectly reasonable comment. But do these people belong in a suburban club’s Team of the Century? After much discussion it was decided that the key criteria for selection in the team would be simply the number of games played in the 1st XI, a figure that was set at 50. It was considered that if people have played that number of games then they have shown the commitment necessary to be part of the club; a member of the club, rather than simply a player in the 1st XI. When the prospective player’s performance was evaluated, only games played in the 1st eleven were considered. Ton Up at Beena The Team Ted Wolsley (Captain) A player at the club from 1923-24 to 1947-48, he is recorded as playing 167 matches in the 1st XI, scoring 4,882 runs, although these figures are understated. Ted is known to have scored at least 5 centuries in the A team, including 198 in the 1932-33 Grand Final against Tooronga. Over his career he played in 27 finals, losing just 1 semi-final and 3 grand finals, finishing with an astonishing ten premierships in the 1st eleven. His name appears on the honour board four times as the winner of the A team batting average. Ted was known to be captain of the club for 13 seasons, and was likely to have filled that role in another two seasons. During his time as captain the club won the 1st XI premiership seven times. Ted has been appointed as captain of the Team of the Century Jeff Graham (Vice-Capt.) Jeff played 15 seasons at the club, although only eight of those were in the 1st XI. After a stellar season in the premiership winning 1966-67 team, in which has scored 555 runs at an average in excess of 40, Jeff spent the next ten seasons playing district cricket, returning in 1977-78 to lead the club to another premiership. In 87 1st XI matches he scored 2,746 runs, with seven centuries, and also took 112 wickets. His highest score was 146 not out, made on two separate occasions (coincidentally his first and last senior century) and Jeff had two other innings of more than 125. A measure of the Jeff’s ability is that in seven of his eight seasons as a 1st XI player he won either the batting or the bowling average. His best bowling figures of 7/35 were achieved in 1980-81 against Hampton. Although only captaining the 1st XI 24 times, he was considered to be an inspiring leader, and with ten years experience at District cricket level would be an able deputy leader. 1-2 Team of the Century Alan Graham With 27 seasons at the club, 17 of them as a 1st XI player, Alan bowled slow-medium off-spin. He took 325 wickets in his 175 games in the Firsts, with his best figures being 7/34 at Frankston, now a Premier cricket club. Alan was a brilliant cover fieldsman, reckoned my most to be the best this club has ever seen. He was very quick across the ground, was exceptionally fast to release the ball, and had a lightning arm. He saved many runs in the field, and was responsible for numerous run outs. He was also a useful lower order batsman, accumulating 2,266 runs, with a century to his credit – 106 against Sandringham in 1965-66. Alan played in three 1st XI premiership teams, and won the bowling average for the 1st XI three times. Two of those bowling averages came in premiership seasons, which is an indicator of his importance to the team. Leigh Hardham Leigh was an automatic choice for this team, with an unrivalled record. A player at the club for 43 seasons, he has represented Murrumbeena in the 1st XI 351 times, over 35 seasons, during which time he scored a staggering 9.488 runs. He reached 50 in 57 innings, and converted 7 of those scores into centuries. The next best recorded count of 50s or above is Ted Wolsley, with 29, and while Leigh’s 7 centuries is not quite the highest, he reached the “nervous nineties” 11 times without converting the score into a ton. 18 scores of 90 or above in the 1st XI is head and shoulders above anybody else. He passed 125 in the 1st XI twice, and remarkably scored a century in 2008-09 at the age of 54. st Leigh’s name appears on the honour board 10 times as the 1 XI Batting average winner, including 7 years out of 8. As a useful part-time slow bowler, Leigh has taken 144 wickets in the top team. Leigh played in two premiership teams in the 1xt XI, plus two losing grand final teams, and captained the eleven over 8 seasons. 1-3 Ton Up at Beena Don Johnston A fearsome fast bowler, with a beautiful action, Don was renowned in his prime as being the fastest in the association. He was at the club from 1945-46 through to 1970-71, playing in the 1st XI for 13 of those seasons, where in 125 games he took 527 wickets, and won the bowling average five times. Don left the club to be coach of a club closer to home, but returned after just one season to captain the 2nd XI. In five seasons with the seconds he added a further 307 wickets to his tally, winning the bowling average in each of those years. He took ten wickets in a match five times for the 1st XI, and once took four wickets in four balls for that eleven in a match against Bentleigh. His best bowling in an innings was 8/14 against Ormond. Don’s contribution to the two 1st XI premiership teams in which he played was enormous, taking 70 and 73 wickets in those successive seasons, following 89 the previous season, when the team was runner-up. Jack McAlister Jack was a stalwart of the club over many seasons, playing for 34 in total from 1935-56 through to 1974-75, and in the A team for exactly half that number. Unfortunately with the dearth of information from the 1930s and 1940s, we cannot be certain about Jack’s statistics. We only have confirmed details of him playing in 77 matches for the A team, in which he accumulated 3,540 runs, although the real figures are likely to be substantially higher; it is probable he may have played 100 unrecorded games, with a commensurate increase in his runs aggregate. We know that he scored eight centuries for the A team, three times he passed 140 and a further two where he reached 120. Jack holds the record for highest number of runs in a season for the 1st XI, and also the best average, both achieved in the premiership year of 1937-38: 773 runs at 70.3. Jack played in four premierships in the A team (and 4 losing grand finals) and was a fine finals player. He made 142 in 1937-38, scored 79 & 52 in 1940-41, and carried his bat in 1943-44. A winner of 8 A team batting averages, after his time in the 1sts had finished Jack played in the lower grade teams, and has his name on the Honour Board a total of 22 times. 1-4 Team of the Century Jim McDermott A classical, free-flowing batsman, Jim played 230 games in the 1st XI across 22 seasons, out of a career total of 413 in 38. He scored 5,218 runs for the firsts, with two centuries, including 149 in 1962-63 against Flemington-Kensington, a score that was for very many years the highest score for the team on turf. He won the 1xt XI batting average five times, played in three premiership teams, and captained the 1st XI for seven seasons, including the 1966-67 flag. As a captain Jim was very attacking, and liked to press for an outright victory given the slightest opportunity.

  • Beware Milestones
    DECIDE: How to Manage the Risk in Your Decision Making Beware milestones Having convinced you to improve your measurement of what really matters in your organisation so that you can make better decisions, I must provide a word of caution. Sometimes when we introduce new measures we actually hurt decision making. Take the effect that milestones have on people. Milestones as the name infers are solid markers of progress on a journey. You have either made the milestone or you have fallen short. There is no better example of the effect of milestones on decision making than from sport. Take the game of cricket. If you don’t know cricket all you need to focus in on is one number, 100. That number represents a century of runs by a batsman in one innings and is a massive milestone. Careers are judged on the number of centuries a batsman scores. A batsman plays the game to score runs by hitting a ball sent toward him at varying speeds of up to 100.2 miles per hour (161.3 kilometres per hour) by a bowler from 22 yards (20 metres) away. The 100.2 mph delivery, officially the fastest ball ever recorded, was delivered by Shoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Shoaib was nicknamed the Rawalpindi Express! Needless to say, scoring runs is not dead easy. A great batting average in cricket at the highest levels is 40 plus and you are among the elite when you have an average over 50. Then there is Australia’s great Don Bradman who had an average of 99.94 with his next nearest rivals being South Africa’s Graeme Pollock with 60.97 and England’s Herb Sutcliffe with 60.63.

  • Roster-Based Optimisation for Limited Overs Cricket
    Roster-Based Optimisation for Limited Overs Cricket by Ankit K. Patel A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Statistics and Operations Research. Victoria University of Wellington 2016 Abstract The objective of this research was to develop a roster-based optimisation system for limited overs cricket by deriving a meaningful, overall team rating using a combination of individual ratings from a playing eleven. The research hypothesis was that an adaptive rating system ac- counting for individual player abilities, outperforms systems that only consider macro variables such as home advantage, opposition strength and past team performances. The assessment of performance is observed through the prediction accuracy of future match outcomes. The expec- tation is that in elite sport, better teams are expected to win more often. To test the hypothesis, an adaptive rating system was developed. This framework was a combination of an optimisa- tion system and an individual rating system. The adaptive rating system was selected due to its ability to update player and team ratings based on past performances. A Binary Integer Programming model was the optimisation method of choice, while a modified product weighted measure (PWM) with an embedded exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) functionality was the adopted individual rating system. The weights for this system were created using a combination of a Random Forest and Analytical Hierarchical Process. The model constraints were objectively obtained by identifying the player’s role and performance outcomes a limited over cricket team must obtain in order to increase their chances of winning.

  • Factors Affecting Performance in Elite Finger Spin Bowling
    FACTORS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE IN ELITE FINGER SPIN BOWLING by Liam Sanders A Doctoral Thesis Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy at Loughborough University April 2019 Abstract Factors affecting performance in elite finger spin bowlinG Liam Sanders, Loughborough University Full-body three-dimensional kinematics, passive joint range of motion and bowling parameters from match play were calculated to enable the analysis of elite finger spin bowling technique and delivery mechanics. Specifically, the effect of kinematic parameters and passive joint range of motion contributing to the production of spin were examined whilst ball trajectory parameters in international test match cricket were assessed and the extent to which these parameters may impact match performance. Kinematic and passive range of motion data were collected for a group of 23 elite finger spin bowlers, describing elements of finger spin bowling technique with the effect of these parameters on ball spin rate addressed using linear regression. Ball trajectory data were collected using a Hawk-eye™ ball tracking system for 36 elite finger spin bowlers competing in international test match cricket between 2006 – 2015. Parameters were calculated describing elements of ball trajectory with the effect of these parameters on bowling average and economy addressed using linear regression. Kinematic analysis suggests the bowlers imparting the most spin adopted a mid-way pelvis orientation angle, a larger pelvis-shoulder separation angle and a shoulder orientation short of side-on at FFC. The orientation of the pelvis at FFC was shown to be the most important technique parameter explaining 43.1% of the variance in ball spin rate.

  • A Glossary of Cricket Terms
    A glossary of cricket terms Cricket, more than most sports, is full of expressions and terms designed to bewilder the newcomer (and often even the more seasoned follower). Arm Ball A ball bowled by a slow bowler which has no spin on it and so does not turn as expected but which stays on a straight line ("goes on with the arm") The Ashes Series between England and Australia are played for The Ashes Asking rate - The runs required per over for a team to win - mostly relevant in a one-dayer Ball Red for first-class and most club cricket, white for one-day matches (and, experimentally, women once used blue balls and men orange ones). It weighs 5½ ounces ( 5 ounces for women's cricket and 4¾ ounces for junior cricket) Ball Tampering The illegal action of changing the condition of the ball by artificial means, usually scuffing the surface, picking or lifting the seam of the ball, or applying substances other than sweat or saliva Bat-Pad A fielding position close to the batsman designed to catch balls which pop up off the bat, often via the batsman's pads Batter Another word for batsman, first used as long ago as 1773. Also something you fry fish in Beamer A ball that does not bounce (usually accidently) and passes the batsman at or about head height. If aimed straight at the batsman by a fast bowler, this is a very dangerous delivery (and generally frowned on) Bend your back - The term used to signify the extra effort put in by a fast bowler to obtain some assistance from a flat pitch Belter A pitch which offers little help to bowlers and so heavily favours batsmen Blob A score of 0 (see duck) Bodyline (also known as leg theory) A tactic most infamously used by England in 1932-33, although one which had been around for some time before that, in which the bowler aimed at the batsman rather than the wicket with the aim of making him give a catch while attempting to defend himself.

  • TONNES of FUN Edition 2
    Season 2018-19 TONNES OF FUN Edition 2 DIV 1: With the Captain Running late to the game because he was stuck talking all things cricket with Scott and J.O at the club, he rung through to his trusty V.C to do the toss. This weeks Games The message from him was that he won the toss and we were batting. As El-capitano A-Grade (LO 1A) turned up to the ground everyone was waiting on the batting order. Ian decided to open ROUND 4 the batting with Ashley and himself. Ashley had most of the strike, getting the runs ticking Para Vista A over before he was caught for 19. In came Gopi at number 3. Gopi hung around for a Vs couple of overs scoring 7 runs before he was caught. At this stage Ian was simply going Salisbury North about his business. In came Marc at number 4 and after facing a ball realised his grip on his at Edward Smith Reserve bat had deteriorated because he hadn’t picked it up since last season. Ian and Marc picked off the bowlers slowly and Ian reached his first 50 for the season just before the 20 over break. At the drinks break we were 2 for 98. After the drinks break the boys took a couple B-Grade (LO 2) of overs to get their eye back in, before Cuz said to Ian at changeover “should we start to ROUND 4 hit now?”. With a wink Ian said why not we still have petrol in the shed.
