In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

  • Skipper Akbar Steers Bangladesh to Under-19 World Cup Triumph
    “This is a dream come true. This is just the beginning for us” – Man of the Match MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 2020 Akbar Ali Skipper Akbar steers Bangladesh to Under-19 World Cup triumph AFP POTCHEFSTROOM (SOUTH AFRICA) BANGLADESH captain Akbar Ali kept his calm to lead his team to a stunning three-wicket win over India in Potchefstroom to win the Under-19 World Cup for the first time. Chasing 178 to win, Bang- ladesh were struggling at 102 for six but Akbar, who finished 43 not out, dragged them towards the line. A brief flurry of rain saw the players leave the field with Bangladesh on 163 for seven. When they returned the tar- get had been adjusted under DLS to 170 from 46 overs. Bangladesh needed seven from 30 balls and Akbar and Rakibul Hasan duly knocked off the runs to claim Bangladesh’s first World Cup at any level. “It’s an unbelievable expe- rience,” said Rakibul who hit the winning run. “We came here with plans and it worked out really well. Whichever team executes their plans better on the day wins, and that happened for us today.” The day started well for Bangladesh when Akbar called correctly at the toss and put India in to bat. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was again the stand-out bats- man for defending champions India as he carved 88 from 121 balls.

  • Hafeez Hails Debutant Haider As Pakistan Beat England
    14 Sports Thursday, September 3, 2020 Black Caps coach gets Photo of the Day chance to avenge WCup loss in 2023 WELLINGTON: Black Caps coach Gary Stead’s contract was extended to the 2023 World Cup yes- terday giving the former Test batsman a chance to im- prove on his teams’ “gut-wrenching” loss in the 2019 tournament. New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said Stead’s reappointment followed a successful pe- riod for the Black Caps which has seen them reach number two in the Test rankings and three in one- dayers. “Winning an away Test series against Pakistan and a Test in Sri Lanka was a tremendous effort, as were the home Test series wins against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, England and India,” he said. “We had no hesitation, after going through quite a process, in extending his contract.” White also praised the conduct of the team under Stead, particularly after they reached the 2019 World Cup final but lost to England on a technicality after the scores were tied. “To tie the World Cup final and miss out on win- ning the trophy through a countback was a gut- wrenching experience,” he said. “But I think we can all agree on how well the team played during that campaign and, equally, how well they conducted themselves afterwards.” Stead said it was “an honour and privilege” to be involved with the team. “I was motivated to keep working with the team, I’ve still got a lot of energy and feel I can continue to offer something,” he said.

  • SCHOOLS CRICKET in 2016 Review By
    SCHOOLS CRICKET IN 2016 Review by Douglas Henderson What glorious cricket weather it was! But how sad it didn’t arrive until the autumn term. Those with long memories of schools cricket know May is often wet, and September lovely. So it was in 2016, when spring resembled late winter more than early summer. Perhaps that explains why the ECB have been promoting cricket in September. For most schools, this is unlikely to involve first teams, whose players will doubtless be needed for rugby or football – sports that have the luxury of long seasons largely untroubled by exams, weather or parental pressure. September cricket would primarily be for those who enjoy the game, yet who are unable to pursue it in the examination term (that part of the calendar formerly known as the cricket season). There may be other problems to overcome, since many schools press their main ground into service for other sports. A rugby pitch certainly demands grass that would be too long for a cricket outfield. However, some enterprising schools have circumvented the issue by hiring local club grounds. September fixtures would doubtless appeal to those parents, reportedly more prevalent in or near London, who are unhappy with the amount of time summer cricket takes up – time that, in their thinking, should be devoted to exam preparation. There is truth, though, in the proverbial wisdom that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy – and probably hinders his academic performance too. Exams loom large over most of the season, and are one reason why headmasters and directors of studies may/ sometimes try to make Twenty20 the norm, even for major schools fixtures on Saturdays.

  • November-December
    PCB Highlights 1 November – 31 December 3rd Edition PCB brings Test cricket back to Pakistan The purist and most traditional format of the gentleman’s game returned to Pakistan after more than 10 years when Sri Lanka played the ICC World Test Championship fixtures in Rawalpindi and Karachi in December. For this team to put the March 2009 tragedy behind it and return twice in a space of three months was a strong and powerful statement to the world about their confidence and trust in Pakistan’s security agencies and the support to the Pakistan Cricket Board in its efforts and endeavours for the complete and uninterrupted restoration of international cricket in the country. The Sri Lanka cricket team was excellent – both on and off the field – and returned home not only after making more friends and followers than ever, but also after proving to be outstanding ambassadors of their country. They were gracious in defeat and generous in praising the hospitality and security offered to them during their Test tour. “Now I do regret not coming for the shorter formats. At that time it was a really hard decision to take because I had heard and read lots of things about Pakistan on news and social media - not positive things. But the guys who came here before gave really good comments and that’s why all the seniors decided to go and play a good Test series. Now I think I should have come and played the one-dayers,” Sri Lanka skipper Dimuth Karunaratne said. “I can say that for me it feels really safe.

Elias had never beaten Al Tamimi in three attempts prior to this match but came through to win 11-9, 11-4, 11-8. The No.5 seed was also helped by a hamstring strain sustained by Al Tamimi, who was forced off court for an injury break during the third game while 8-6 down. Elias will take on fellow South American Miguel Rod- riguez in the next round. Co- lombian Rodriguez overcame USA’s Shahjahan Khan in straight games. “We’ve played all of our lives,” said Elias following the match. “I think the first time World No. 7 Diego Elias of Peru chases the ball during the match against Qatar’s Abdulla Al Tamimi during their second round Qatar Classic 2020 clash at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex on we played I was 14 and he was Tuesday.
