  • 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.

  • Cricket Scoring the First Steps
    CRICKET SCORING THE FIRST STEPS CRICKET SCORING THE FIRST STEPS This manual has been written to help introduce new scorers to basic methods of scoring and to answer some of the questions most new scorers have. We hope that anyone who reads this manual will then feel confident to score for a day’s cricket and will know the answers to some of the situations they might come across. It is written in simple language without too much reference to the Laws of Cricket but we have quoted the Law numbers on occasions so that any scorer wishing to learn more about scoring and the Laws of Cricket can then refer to them. In scoring it is important to learn to do the simple thing’s first and this manual will hopefully help you do that. A scorer has four duties which are laid down in Law FOUR of the Laws of Cricket. These are: 1. Accept The Scorer may on occasion believe a signal to be incorrect but you must always accept and record the Umpire signals as given. Remember you as Scorers are part of a team of four and you must work together with the Umpires. 2. Acknowledge Clearly and promptly acknowledge all Umpires’ signals – if necessary wave a white card or paper if the Umpires find it hard to see you. Confer with Umpires about doubtful points at intervals. 3. Record Always write neatly and clearly. 4. Check Do this frequently as detailed later. 2 Reprinted with the kind permission of the NSW Umpires' & Scorers' Association GETTING STARTED Note: You should familiarise yourself with any local rules which apply to matches played in your competition.

  • England in Australia 1950-51 Five Tests. Australia Won 4 - 1
    England in Australia 1950-51 Five Tests. Australia Won 4 - 1. Balls per Over: 8 Playing Hours: 6 days x 5 hr Captains: AL Hassett (Aus), FR Brown (Eng) England’s second post-war visit produced a curiously flat series, which had some parallels with the equivalent tour after World War One. Once again, Australia won 4-1 after securing the Ashes at the first opportunity; the one defeat was Australia’s first for over twelve years. And then there was Bedser, whose superb fast-medium bowling, like Tate’s in 1924, was still unable to swing the result. Unlike 1924, though, there was a general dominaton of ball over bat, and the response of the bat, especially from England, was too often a sort of paralysed defence which would become commonplace in the 1950s. With Bradman retired and Miller mellowing, Australian batting fireworks were also in short supply. Harvey was consistent, but couldn't find top gear. The series was played in good spirit, thanks largely to the easy-going natures of captains “Puck” Hassett and the suave Freddie Brown, but public response to one of the lowest-scoring series of the century was judged to be disappointing. For the third series in a row, Brisbane weather dictated terms in the opening match. Storms prevented play on the second day, and rendered the pitch unsuitable for play until well into the third. One wonders how suitable it was thereafter, as 20 wickets fell in less than four hours. England saved the follow-on, but if anything their bowlers were then too successful, encouraging Hassett’s extraordinary declaration at 7 for 32, and casting England back into the gluepot.

  • GROUND, WEATHER and LIGHT GUIDANCE for UMPIRES (IN the RECREATIONAL GAME) Version 1 2016
    GROUND, WEATHER AND LIGHT GUIDANCE FOR UMPIRES (IN THE RECREATIONAL GAME) Version 1 2016 92018 ECB Ground Weather and Light.indd 1 15/03/2016 15:58 92018 ECB Ground Weather and Light.indd 2 15/03/2016 15:58 The aim of this Guidance is to assist umpires to decide, under the MCC Laws of Cricket, if play should be allowed to start, continue or resume, solely as a consequence of weather or weather-related conditions. Save where otherwise expressly noted, this Guidance does not address other situations when ground conditions may need to be assessed. The Guidance provides generic advice and umpires will be required to use their judgement based upon the weather and ground conditions they experience. 1.0 INTRODUCTION One of the greatest challenges for cricket umpires at all levels of the game is the management of ground, weather and light as set out in Laws 3.8, 3.9 and 7.2. These Laws require umpires to suspend play, or not to allow play to start or resume, when, in their opinion, the conditions are dangerous or unreasonable. Law 3.8(b) states that ‘Conditions to make that assessment. However, shall be regarded as dangerous if no Guidance can anticipate the full there is actual and foreseeable risk to range of conditions that umpires the safety of any player or umpire’. may face and the key test for all decisions is that quoted above from This is the standard that must be Law 3.8(b). applied to all decisions relating to the ground, weather and light.

  • Umpires Technique Manual
    UMPIRES TECHNIQUE MANUAL INTRODUCTION – WHAT IS GOOD TECHNIQUE Good technique is the ability to cope with all aspects of the game. On the field of play, knowledge of the Laws, the intentions and interpretations must be applied to ever changing situations. A decision made during the first session of play may not evoke the same emotional response from either the player or umpire as one made late in the day when the match is in the balance. Theoretical knowledge is one thing but being able to make reasoned and consistent decisions from split second actions when under pressure is quite another. There are many aspects which go towards attaining good technique including: • Preparation • Working as a team • Focus and concentration • Dealing with Captains and Players • Self-Assessment • Coping with pressure • Earning respect This manual has been introduced to assist umpires in carrying out their duties in a more consistent and competent manner. Some of the suggestions as written may not suit each individual umpire but can be refined to suit your nature and style and should not be rejected outright. It is recommended that, if you require clarification of these techniques, you should discuss them with the Training and Development Officer. i CONTENTS Section Topic Page 1 Before the Match ....................................................... 1 2 Signals and Calls ........................................................ 2 3 Decision Making ........................................................ 3 4 Positioning ................................................................
