All-Stars Bash to Aid Bravehearts' Mackay Office Plans All-Stars bash to aid Bravehearts’ Mackay office plans NATIONAL child protection organisation Bravehearts hopes to support the Mackay community with new services from proceeds created by an All-Stars T20 cricket bash featuring former international stars at Harrup Park. The Bulls Masters will take on the Baggy Blues in the inaugural clash between the two sides for the Healy-Waugh trophy on Friday, June 17 with funds raised going towards education and counselling services to support children and their families affected by child sexual assault. The Bulls Masters will be captained by Ian Healy and co-coached by Darren Lehmann and Allan Border, with a host of former internationals, including paceman Ryan Harris, big hitting all-rounder Andrew Symonds, current Test opening batsman Joe Burns and Aussie T20 star Chris Lynn. The newly formed Baggy Blues, will be captained by Mark Waugh and coached by Steve Rixon, with a line-up boasting the likes of Adam Gilchrist, Brett Lee and Glenn McGrath, Brad Haddin and speedster Pat Cummins The game will fall between the first two games of this year’s rugby league State Of Origin series. To add to the State of Origin feel, Wendell Sailor will play for the Bulls Masters and a mystery guest will line up for the Baggy Blues. Council is supporting the event through its Invest Mackay Events Attraction Program. Mayor Greg Williamson said the fact the game was a major fundraiser for Bravehearts helped get the sponsorship agreement over the line. “Bravehearts’ key purpose is to educate, empower and protect Australian children from sexual assault and the organisation is doing some wonderful work in this area,’’ Cr Williamson said. “Proceeds from this cricket match will go towards Bravehearts’ plans to set up a Mackay office, which would be a terrific outcome for our region,’’ he said. Bravehearts CEO Angelo Venardos said the organisation had been eager to expand the provision of its services to Mackay and surrounding regions for some time “Unfortunately, we have been unable to do so due to a lack of necessary funds,’’ Mr Venardos said. “We are very fortunate the Bulls Masters have chosen Bravehearts to be the beneficiary of the Festival 20/20 of Cricket event in Mackay and we are grateful also for the support from Mackay Regional Council ,’’ he said. “Through the event, Bravehearts hopes to raise more than $250,000. It is our intention to use the funds to set up an office in Mackay and support that community with a holistic approach to protecting kids “What the Bulls Masters do throughout the State of Queensland is simply amazing, providing opportunities for country kids, coaching kids, raising money for charities, visiting hospitals, the list goes on. “This is another example of that, so whatever the final figure is that we raise it will go a long way in helping Bravehearts and for that we are extremely grateful to The Bulls Masters organisation.” Bulls Masters Chairman Ian Healy said Bravehearts was the chosen charity partner for this inaugural T20 All-Stars event. “Bulls Masters has a passion for raising funds for various charities, promoting cricket and giving kids in Qld every opportunity and as a result we actively invest in regional areas, so Bravehearts’ plans for a Mackay office made them an ideal choice,’’ he said. “The game at Harrup Park will have a ‘Big Bash’ feel to it and we’re hoping the calibre of players in both teams will help attract a crowd of more than 6000.” “As part of the All-Star 20/20 Festival, a gala dinner will be held at the MECC on the Thursday evening before the big game and this will also help raise funds for Bravehearts.” How they will line up: Bulls Masters: Ian Healy (c), Andrew Symonds, Jimmy Maher, Stuart Law, Chris Lynn, Nathan Reardon, Andy Bichel, Ryan Harris, Adam Dale, Joe Burns, Michael Kasprowicz, Wendell Sailor.

  • 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.

    The NatWest Series 2001 CONTENTS Saturday23June 2 Match review – Australia v England 6 Regulations, umpires & 2002 fixtures 3&4 Final preview – Australia v Pakistan 7 2000 NatWest Series results & One day Final act of a 5 2001 fixtures, results & averages records thrilling series AUSTRALIA and Pakistan are both in superb form as they prepare to bring the curtain down on an eventful tournament having both won their last group games. Pakistan claimed the honours in the dress rehearsal for the final with a memo- rable victory over the world champions in a dramatic day/night encounter at Trent Bridge on Tuesday. The game lived up to its billing right from the onset as Saeed Anwar and Saleem Elahi tore into the Australia attack. Elahi was in particularly impressive form, blast- ing 79 from 91 balls as Pakistan plundered 290 from their 50 overs. But, never wanting to be outdone, the Australians responded in fine style with Adam Gilchrist attacking the Pakistan bowling with equal relish. The wicketkeep- er sensationally raced to his 20th one-day international half-century in just 29 balls on his way to a quick-fire 70. Once Saqlain Mushtaq had ended his 44-ball knock however, skipper Waqar Younis stepped up to take the game by the scruff of the neck. The pace star is bowling as well as he has done in years as his side come to the end of their tour of England and his figures of six for 59 fully deserved the man of the match award and to take his side to victory.

  • AMICUS Newsletter
    AMICUS MAY 2019 Vol 46 No 2 Journal of the B S H S Past Students’ Association Inc. HERITAGE LISTING Brisbane State High School is a place that satisfies numerous criteria of the Queensland Heritage Act 1992. With its core built in 1864 and opened in 1865 as the South Brisbane Primary School, Block “H” was the South Brisbane Intermediate School from 1929 to 1953. Block “H” was transferred to Brisbane State High School in 1964 and was added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 1994. In November 2018 the Red Brick Building, Block “A” and three significant fig trees on the Merivale Campus alias The Farm were added to the Heritage Register. The Statement of Significance states: “Block “A”, (1925) the first purpose-built state high school built in Brisbane, is one of the earliest schools in Queensland not attached to a technical college. It illustrates the Queensland Government’s commitment to state-provided secondary education. Block “A” is an excellent, intact example of an Urban Brick School Building designed by the Department of Public Works (DPW). It is important in demonstrating the principal charac- teristics of this type, which include: a handsome edifice standing in a prominent location; symmetrical two-storey form of classrooms and teachers rooms above an understorey of open play spaces; a linear layout of the main floors with rooms accessed by corridors; loadbearing masonry construction; prominent projecting central entrance bay; and a high standard of design to provide superior educational environments that focus on abundant natural light and ventilation. It demonstrates the use of stylistic features of its era, through its roof form, joinery and decorative treatment.
