WALKERVILLE CRICKET CLUB NEWS
MEDAL COUNT NIGHT
Last Saturday night the Walkerville Cricket Club
celebrated their Players Player night at the
Sussex Hotel. The prestigious awards were
awarded for A, B and C grade voted by their team
mates in what was a gala evening.
All three awards are named after revered past
and present players who have given tireless
service over many years to the Walkerville
Cricket Club and I’m sure it was a very proud
moment for each individual winner to receive
such a prestigious award.
The Sussex Hotel was the new venue for the night
which is hoped will be a long standing tradition
where the guys looked dapper in their best attire
but easily out done by their beautiful wives,
girlfriends and dates.
Special mention to Craig Jervies for is colouful
MC’ing of the evening and powerpoint display,
Mick Sarson with his tireless work behind the
camera during the year to provide special images
on the night and Ian “McLovin” MazureJohnstone for his assistance behind the scenes.
The night would not have been such a success
without the vision of Craig Cowland for the
organizing and promotion of the night
unfortunately he was unable to attend due to a
small car race being conducted on that day.

The A Grade Kym Reid Medal Winner –

with a top score of 37. Bruce took 4 wickets with
the ball and chipped in with 3 catches and 1

REVIEW - ROUND 11
A2 – ROUND 11 VS INGLE FARM AT INGLE FARM –
With the last minor round arriving it was very
tight at the top of the table with a win the only
way to secure the home final and top spot. With
a lot of chat on what we would do if winning the
toss it didn’t matter with Ingle Farm winning the
toss and electing to bat.
With Walker and Knowles out this gave Dan Elkins
a shot at his first A grade game which was
thoroughly deserved. Things didn’t start the way
we would have liked with catches being put down
and the Ingle Farm openers getting off to a flyer.
First gamer Elkins battled hard but let himself
down with caught and bowled opportunities. If he
had grabbed one of them who knows what could
have been for his first game. The ball was thrown
around but it took until 10 overs before tea
before we could get a break through which
caused a small collapse having Ingle Farm 3 for
132. At this stage the dark clouds started to roll
in and the heavens started to slowly open.
We eventually got back on and the ball didn’t
take long to become a cake of soap and
extremely hard to deliver down the track. We
turned to Panz and Duncs to try and keep it tight
until the umpires finally decided to remove us
from the ground calling it a day at 4 for 196. It
was then decided Ingle Farm would have 7 overs
next week and it would be a 70 over match.
Week 2, the challenge for us was to keep the runs
down and pick up as many wickets as possible.
Panz bowled exceptionally well in conjunction
with myself along with some outstanding fielding
efforts. We kept them to 8 for 222 and at this
stage we thought if we batted the 70 overs we
would get to the required score.
It started out badly with Boy Scout Cheary (2)
shouldering arms only to here the noise of his off
stump cartwheeling. CJ (15)and Sarson then
worked together in getting us back on track until
CJ was fired LBW AGAIN, maybe you go out
without ya pads mate then you wont wanna get
hit. In form Chopper along with Sarson got us
through to tea being 2-72 as they had bowled
well. At this stage we still were confident but
once again Sarson(35) fell soon after tea ( this
week Sars is not allowed to come in before tea,
he is to shadow bat at tea time).
Duncs arrived at the crease and with a bit of luck
for the first time this year he and Chopper
started to really put the pressure back on Ingle
Farm and the game looked over but cricket is a
funny game and its not over until that final run or
wicket is scored. We suddenly lost Chopper (77)
with a good run out and this caused a mini
collapse losing Wooly (3) and Matho (0) quickly
with only 33 runs to get off 9 overs suddenly the
target looked along way away and McArthy was
bowling balls our boys couldn’t get bat on.
It only turned for the worse when Duncs was
caught for well made 54, this left Powell and
Panz 4 overs to get 22 runs and Ingle Farm just
bowled too well and we fell 6 runs short.
A loss saw us waiting and see what happened at
other grounds to whether we would stay top or
drop down and with Flinders Park wining they
jumped to top spot and we finished second which
sees us taking on Para Hills this week at home.
Being washed out against these boys earlier in
the season it is the unknown, they have played
well in the second half of the season so they will
be tough opposition. I’m sure with inclusions of
Knowles and Walker and the determination of 13
guys that want to win a flag will help us work
hard to get through.
Just would like to take this opportunity to thank
the B and C grade boys for their efforts
throughout the season even though results didn’t
go our way, I’m sure you have enjoyed your
season and next year will only be bigger and
better if you all stick together. Lampy and the
boys, great season in the one dayers but I’m sure
you still have two games left in you and bring
home the GF. Good Luck
To Chopper congratulations mate on winning the
old mans award Saturday night well deserved
mate along with most runs in A2. It has been a
great season by you mate leading from the front
with the bat and behind the stumps but I’m sure
you are not done yet and there are still plenty of
runs left yet. Matho well done mate on the
B’grade award, you have had a great season and
have lead by example when in the B’grade. Your
work around the club mate which goes un
recongnised is fantastic, I thank you for all the
help you have given me through the season and
who knows what may happen in the next two
weeks, just keep the hard work up mate. Last of
all congratulations to Bruce on winning the C
grade medal and thank you must go to Kym and
his wife for all the teas and cleaning that they
undertake behind the scenes as well.
Not sure if this will be the last newsletter but
good luck to everyone who is selected to play in
the finals but remember it’s not only the 11 to
take the field it is the hole 40 odd guys who has
been there through the season.
Boy Scout Nick Cheary hits a sweet cover drive
against Ingle Farm. This was obviously not the
ball he got out on.
Ben Duncan in typical “Duncan Style” drives
the ball through mid off.
Ben Duncan acknowledges the crowd after he
scores his 50. Most guys just use their bat!!!!
Good Luck Guys lets bring home two flags for the
Cats.
Another boundary for Mike Reed as pushes
towards another fifty against Ingle Farm.
Unfortunately the middle and lower order
struggled (i.e. skipper Brownie) but Pete Sarsons
brother Mick contributed with 26 as did Darcy
‘renowned 2 hitter’ Wright with 14. At tea the
weather turned nasty and showers delayed the
restart of play. Wickets continued to fall after
tea before Adam Rutherford and Peter ‘I should
be batting higher’ Hewish put together a great
fighting 20 run partnership for the last wicket in
very wet and slippery conditions to get us to a
defendable 158. Rain continued for the
remainder of the day and stumps were pulled
early. The day had not quite gone as planned but
we still had runs on the board.
Mike Reed acknowledges the support from the
sidelines as he makes his half century.
Scores: Walkerville 7/216 (M Reid 77, B Duncan
54, P Sarson 35) lost to Ingle Farm 8/222 (D
Miller 5/47).
BI – ROUND 11 VS HOPE VALLEY AT
WALKERVILLE –
A fine warm day with a forecast of late afternoon
rain greeted the Cats B grade side as we faced
Hope Valley at home. Both teams were placed
just outside the top 4 by a game and a half on
points and an outright win could see the winner
make the top four and finals. The Cats had a
drastically changed side from previous games
with 1st XI, Clipsal and ‘white ant extermination’
commitments. The day started well with the new
rooky captain winning the toss and batting (‘tails
never fails’).
The team plan was to start positively and bat to
drinks, push on to tea with wickets in hand to
then have a dip at setting a large target possibly
bowling before the end of the day.
Unfortunately, we started slowly and lost Mal ‘I
never fail’ Ayliffe in the 5th over for 1 then
followed by John Fuller. As in previous weeks the
crowd held their collective breathe and kids
clambered onto shoulders and up trees as John
Hutchison strode confidently to the wicket. The
crowd went wild as Hutchie was soon away with a
spanking cover drive straight from the text book.
Nelson and Hutchie pushed on before Nelson fell
for a solid 20. John ‘take no prisoners’ Hutchison
continued striking the ball well reaching his 50
with his ninth four and third in a row. However,
his tenth 4 eluded him but not the catching
fielder.
The weather forecast for the following Saturday
was for 30 degrees and sunny with a light breeze
– great for bowling the opposition out for a low
total and then pushing for an outright. James
Plaistow opened the bowling with Peter ‘I’m a
winner’ Sarson’s brother and they both moved
the ball and caught the edge that unfortunately
flew safely. It was clear that Hope Valley was
after very quick runs batting as if in a Twenty20
game. The openers soon found the middle of the
bat and that’s when things went pear shaped.
The pitch displayed none of the previous week’s
slow low bounce and the ball came off the bat
nicely. After a few expensive overs Darcy ‘round
them up’ Wright was thrown the ball. He claimed
the 1st wicket in his second over and we hoped
the wicket flood gates would open as they had in
previous games as Hope Valley had blazed 91 runs
from 10 overs. After 17 overs Hope Valley passed
our 158 with 1 down and we were going to
struggle to stop a big total.
Adam Rutherford and Mal ‘I have a ball on the
roof’ Ayliffe were thrown the ball to break up the
line and pace. They both beat the bat and Adam
had a hard chance go down. However, the game
soon got away from us as they too soon suffered
from the clean hitting Hope Valley batsmen.
Darcy broke through with 2 quick wickets at 2 for
198 and 3 for 199 but again the batters continued
to hit the ball cleanly from a true deck. The guys
never stop persisting and picked up a couple
more wickets before tea. Hope Valley declared at
tea at 5 for 329 after 40.4 overs. This was slightly
flattering with a couple of missed chances by the
Cats and a caught behind missed by the umpire
from a guy who went on to be not out 61.
The Cats were put back in to face 40 overs.
Nelson and Mal ‘renowned 6 hitter’ Ayliffe batted
very well with Mal blazing 4’s and a six that hit
the Walkerville club window on the first bounce.
They batted well for a stand of 86 before we lost
a couple of wickets. Nelson and John ‘I can block
balls’ Hutchinson comfortably played out the
remaining overs. The maturity of the batting in
the second dig is something the team can take
into next season and demonstrated the teams
true capabilities.
Scores: Walkerville 158 (J Hutchinson 50, M
Sarson 29) and 2/110 (M Ayliffe 55, N Ruiz 32*)
lost to Hope Valley 5/329 dec (D Wright 5/113).
B3 – ROUND 11 VS PORT DISTRICTS AT L J LEWIS
OVAL –
The Cs ventured just a bit more than a bike ride
up Hampstead Rd to take on Port District with
nothing but our pride on the line. For the 3rd time
in 4 weeks we were playing a side from our end
of the ladder, so hopes were high …. well, at
least slightly raised.
The toss was lost and we were sent in. We were
going to bat anyway but it’s a bit of a slap in the
face when the 10th placed side sends you in …..
fortunately we’re not easily offended.
Things didn’t start well with Reidy going in the 1st
over for 1, Magnum following 2 overs later for the
same score and You, Me & continuing the trend
without bothering the scorers. Neddy did little
better, dismissed soon after for 4, and we were
in big trouble at 4/15. Varun and the promoted
Brompton Express then steadied the ship a little
with a 32 run partnership, our highest for the 5th
wicket all season, before another collapse saw us
lose a further 4/8.
Enter the Mee Machine. He’d been promising a
decent score all season but it hadn’t been
forthcoming so he found himself down at no. 9.
Obviously stung into action he found willing
partners in Hoops and Sammy and between them
they added 43 for the last 2 wickets to at least
give us a score we could bowl at. In the process
Sam Hutchy became the youngest player to score
a run for WCC at senior level, being only 12 years
201 days when he remained unconquered on 3 in
the season high 10th wicket partnership of 26.
Rain prevented us taking advantage of a juicy
deck but it did mean we’d have a decent ball to
bowl with on week 2.
Although the 2nd week was warm and sunny the
ground had obviously had a decent amount of
water poured into it and batting wasn’t going to
be any easier than the first week.
We obviously needed early wickets defending
only 98 but when Varun put one down in the 1st
over there was plenty of déjà vu happening.
Fortunately Bucks snared the other opener soon
after but their no. 3 was hurting us with a few
boundaries. Our joy when You, Me & snaffled him
in the 20’s with a smart catch at 1st was short
lived as Bucks had overstepped, the 2nd crucial
wicket he had cost the team by no-balling in 3
games. Still, Bucks was bowling well and when he
picked up his 3rd courtesy of a dubious LBW we
were still in the game, although we needed to
make something happen. The MM had been
bowling tightly but was given a rest to see what
You, Me & could do following his heroics in the
last game with the LOD’s. He certainly made
things happen but after 3 boundaries in his 1st
over there was no option but to replace him with
The Brompton Express.
Even this wasn’t looking like a good move as he
also went for 12 in his 1st over but from then on
the game really turned around with The Express
appearing to be able to pick up wickets at will.
At drinks they were 7 down needing a further 30
odd to win and, with memories of his devastating
spell against Hectorville fresh in the mind, Coady
was thrown the ball. Bad decision ….. after 2
overs from that end 18 runs had been wiped from
the target and we were in a bit of trouble.
Possibly of even greater concern was how Coady
was going to cope with his new nickname of
Chucker after he was called for throwing when he
delivered his quicker ball, the offspinner. It was a
bizarre call from the umpire at the bowler’s end
who was standing up close to the stumps. Heaven
knows how he was going to monitor the front foot
at the same time.
Unfortunately our decision to attack had cost us
big time, but at least we didn’t die wondering.
They passed our score 8 down but we managed to
clean up the last 2 soon after to again leave us
wondering just what might have been if we’d
held a few catches earlier.
We finished a distant last on the ladder in a
season that disappointed through the inability of
the more experienced players to maintain past
form and for the younger players to show
significant development. I know there is much
more ability in the side than was shown during
the season and hopefully a solid preseason and a
bit of belief will enable us to be much more
competitive in C1 next season. For now we will
support the A’s and D’s in their finals campaigns
knowing that in some small way we have also
contributed to the success they have brought to
the club this season.
Scores: Walkerville 98 (C Mee 36, V Agheda 28)
lost to Port Districts 110 (S Brine 6/26, S
Buckley 3/29).
LOD – ROUND 18 VS UNLEY AT WEBB OVAL
The LOD's finished a positive season on a
slight downer with a close loss to Unley.
Regardless of this were still playing finals and
after some midweek debate the Cats secured top
spot.
Batting first Unley reached 7/154 after 40 overs
on a pitch that provided a bit for the bowlers.
Iggy again proved the backbone of the attack
with 2/30 off 9. Lukey Robertson bowled without
luck and finished with 1/25 off 9. Paul
'Grandfather' Roper chimed in at the death and
took 1/22 off 6 overs.
We began the chase with the loss of an early
wicket but Andrew 'the rock' Reid came to the
crease and steadied things down. We think it
could be a Walkerville club record for balls faced
to get off the mark? Unfortunately (fortunately
for Reidy) we have no official count - but we're
estimating about 30 balls faced before a slashing
boundary silenced the hecklers (re Laubes) on the
side lines! After the rock departed we lost
another quick wicket which brought Laubes to
the crease. He was obviously out to prove a point
and got off the mark with a 6! Another couple of
wickets had us requiring around 25 runs off 5
overs with 4 wickets in hand. Unfortunately
Laubes departed for a well made 50 which saw us
lose 4/8 and eventually the match falling 7 runs
shy.
Scores: Walkerville 9/147 ( J Lamp 60, S Laube
50) lost to Unley 7/154 ( I Mareolas 2/30)

WOOLY’S FINANCIAL ADVICE
Here’s some good advice for my loyal followers.
When I send Holly of to do our weekly grocery
shopping I make sure that she spends plenty of
time in the fruit and veg section. A little bit of
time here can save you money at the checkout.
I tell here to make sure she buys only things that
are“ripe” so that you can extend the expire date
which allows you to only do your shopping once a
week instead of every couple of days for this kind
of produce.
If you can work it out right you can have a
perfect Banana everyday of the week rather than
trying to eat them all on the same day before
they go off…
Holly thinks I’m crazy but that’s why I’m the
financial expert and she does the shopping!!!

WALKERVILLE BAKERY CATS
SEMI FINALS vs GRANGE
Well after being washed out the first week the
game was rescheduled and with a loss of the toss
Grange decided to have a bat on a wicket that
was harder than south road. Grange started off in
flying form with skipper Young bringing up 50 in
the 6th over after the game had been stepped up
with some words between skipper and skipper
with Knowlesy feeling the heat of a Young
onslaught with balls being hit as clean as we have
seen in this format. We pulled them back a little
with great bowling from Leesey and Panz again a
target that may have been 200 plus was then
kept to 167 after Plant had compiled 50 as well.
The only two successful bowlers being Panz
taking 2-47 and Leesy bowling a fine spell 1-14.

167 was always going to be tough with the
bowling line up of Grange but we still thought we
were a chance until Harrity pulled of a blinder to
have CJ(22) caught even after receiving a blow to
the jaw. CJ was hitting the ball to all parts off
the ground. From here we just lost consistent
wickets and could not slow the loss of wickets to
stay in the game. Knowlsey and Leesy tried to get
us back on target with some good hitting but
wickets continued to fall. Harrity’s second spell
for Grange saw the end coming fast with 2
wickets falling close by along with a run out. We
all thought Hutchy was trying to have a break
from young Sam when heading out to the middle
to face Harrity without a helmet but he ducked
well. Wickets fell and in the 17th over we were
bowled out for 108 well short of Grange’s target.
This game showed what losing wickets
consistently does and how hard it is to chase
targets when this happens. We were out played
by a side with greater determination, good luck
to them in the final. It was a good effort by the
boys to get this far being the only side out of
Premier grade to make it to the semi finals.
Thanks to Leesey for joining us in this format,
you were a stand out mate.

Batting Tips with Matho
Bowling Tips with Panz
You have heard of the big hitting batsman – Viv,
Gilly, Warner, well add Mathieson to the list!!
The poor people of Walkerville often duck for
cover when I walk to the crease.
Even at training the neighbours cover up their
windows and lock away their cats.
I cant help it I am a natural big hitting
batsman!!!
If like me at times you get frustrated with your
bowling when the ball is just not coming out
right and you seem to be getting hit to the
boundary regularly, I like to change it up and
bowl using your alternate hand.
For me, that would be my left hand.
I remember going through a tough time with
the red cherry during my early days at
Walkerville and my stellar career may have
been cut short had it not been for reverting to
my left hand swingers during the final 5 games
of that year.
Using my left hand allowed me to reflect on
where my right hand bowling was going whilst
still playing at the highest level.
I occasionally slip the odd left handed delivery
in which tends to be my dusorer and I am
surprised when the umpires and opposition
don’t even notice. Haha..
Now, if I can just bat left handed all my
problems will be solved!!!!
Bowl well my friends!! Panz

THE BASIC’S OF CRICKET by Paul Reid
THANK YOU!!!!
Thank you for the over welling response to
the wanted advert for the removal of Dan
Powell’s socks. There were many people who
offered their services for free.
The health department have stepped in and
removed the socks and hosed Daniel down
with high pressure hoses.
Daniel put up strong resistance but the over
whelming numbers of people who held him
down and the large crowd cheering on the
sock stripping was too much for Daniel to
hold off.
The hosing brought much pleasure to the
large number of neighbours and friends who
had gathered to view the event.
Daniel vows to attempt another world record
in the near future!
Learn the basics of Cricket with Paul Reid
In case you think this breakdown of cricket is a
little too basic, consider this. An American once
said “cricket - that's the game with the mallets,
right?”. For the record, Yanks, that’s croquet!
Cricket is played by 2 teams of 11 players each,
and as far as how much time you should allocate
to watch a match, it can take anywhere from an
afternoon (one day cricket) to five days (for a
test match).
The whole point is to score more runs than the
opponent. Think … baseball. Runs good, getting
out bad. The teams bat in turns (each turn is
called an innings) and try to score runs while the
opposing team fields and tries to end the batters’
innings. How many innings are played depends
on which kind of cricket you’re playing.
To give you an idea of how long matches usually
last:
Daniel who reached 171 days straight with his
socks until the Health department intervened
•
Test Cricket goes for 5 days.
•
One-Day Cricket is pretty selfexplanatory, and lasts about six hours.
•
Twenty20 (a limited overs match where
each team bats for one innings, which
lasts 20 overs) usually finishes in three
hours.
Cricket is played on a field, and there's a “pitch”
in the centre that is 20m long, with wickets set
up at each end. There are two umpires keeping
the teams in line, and holding people’s
sweaters/hats/glasses. They are so handy and
considerate.
The batting team scores runs by hitting the ball
and running the whole length of the pitch. Easy
so far. At any one time there are two batsmen
in, one at each end. Even though the ‘second’
batsmen – the non-striker - might not be facing
up to hit the ball from the bowler, there’s no
avoiding the running part. And either batsmen
can lose their wicket (if the ball hits it), whether
they hit the ball or not.
Obviously you can’t score runs if you’re back in
the team seats, so the primary concern of the
batsman who is batting (i.e. the "striker") is to
prevent the ball hitting the wicket (which would
dismiss them) and then to score runs by hitting
the ball with his bat so that he and his batting
partner have time to run from one end of the
pitch to the other before the fielding side can
return the ball. To register a run, both runners
must touch the ground behind the crease with
either their bats or their bodies (the batsmen
carry their bats as they run).
Meanwhile the bowling side has a bowler at the
pitch, a wicket-keeper crouching behind the
striking batsman’s wicket ready to grab the ball
and return it (you’ll recognise the wickie, just
look for the gloves) and other 9 players scattered
around the field. They’re all trying to get each
member of the batting team out, at which point
the batting and bowling teams switch places. As
soon as 10 batsmen have been dismissed, the
whole team is out and the innings is over.
The bowler bowls the ball in sets of six deliveries
(or "balls") and each set of six balls is called an
over. It’s up to the captain to decide where
players should stand in the field, and which
player should bowl for each over.

“Cats on the Prowl in

The 77-run over
When Bert Vance went for 77, in what must rank as one of
the oddest overs in first-class cricket
Martin Williamson
March 13, 2010
When people are asked what is the most
number of runs to come off one over,
thoughts turn to Tilak Raj and Malcolm Nash,
who both conceded 36, to Ravi Shastri and
Garry Sobers respectively. But in February
1990, Bert Vance went for more than twice
that number in what ranks as one of firstclass cricket's oddest overs.
The incident took place on the final day of
Wellington's Shell Trophy match against
Canterbury in Christchurch. It was
Wellington's last game of the season and they
needed to win to ensure that they secured
the title. On the final morning they declared
their second innings, leaving Canterbury to
chase 291 in what turned out to be 59 overs.
Canterbury lost early wickets, and as John
Morrison, the former New Zealand batsman
and at the time Wellington's coach,
remembers, they "put the shutters up very
early in a run-chase that was very feasible
and we just couldn't remove them in the
normal way".
Although Canterbury had looked like losing
when they slumped to 108 for 8, Lee Germon
and Roger Ford had stopped the rot and
seemed set to hold out for a draw.
Although when the penultimate over started
Canterbury were eight wickets down,
Germon, their wicketkeeper and no dunce
with the bat, was still in and on strike.
Morrison and Erv McSweeney, Wellington's
captain-wicketkeeper, hatched a plan and
Bert Vance, the New Zealand batsman who
was nearing the end of his career and so had
no bowling figures of any note to worry
about, agreed to help them.
The idea was to feed Canterbury enough runs
so that they would get close enough to the
target and then perhaps risk their last two
wickets going for glory. They began the over
on 196 for 8 with Germon 75 not out.
Vance proceeded to bowl a succession of noballs, and of his first 17 deliveries only one the second - was legitimate. Full-toss after
full-toss was lobbed down from two or three
yards down the track - "Bert overdid it
somewhat," recalled Morrison - and each one
was cracked to the boundary past motionless
fielders.
Germon brought up his hundred off the sixth
ball, and in all he took 70 off the over,
including eight sixes and five fours. Ford
faced two balls midway through the carnage
and scored five.
The real problems, however, were off the
pitch, where the bewildered scorers and
scoreboard operators lost track of what was
happening and at one point resorted to
consulting with spectators to try to resolve
the chaos. Even the umpire was left
bewildered, only allowing five legitimate
deliveries before calling an end to
proceedings.
The situation had not been resolved when
Evan Gray bowled the final over. Unbeknown
to both sides, Canterbury had moved to
within 18 of victory, and another 17 from
Germon off the first five balls levelled the
scores.
But with the scoreboard rendered inactive as
the scorers still battled to make sense of
Vance's over, Ford blocked the last delivery
of the match. Only when the players returned
to their changing rooms did the position
become clear.
The arguments continued long after the
match. "There was all sorts of debate
discussing this outrageous situation," recalled
Morrison. "Howls of protest and the like, but
in the end we were not docked any points,
and through a couple of other very fortuitous
results we won the championship. As you can
imagine I copped a fair bit of flack, but
winning the championship took most of the
sting out of that... I quickly went from the
outhouse to the penthouse!"
But the hastily conceived plan had almost
backfired. "I nearly had heart failure when I
learnt a little time after the game that
Canterbury only needed one to win and we
had Vance bowling to a very leaky field,"
Morrison explained. "It was also very possible
because of the confusion that he may have
bowled yet another no-ball.
"I decided that the tactic, while being
innovative, was definitely a once only! But
it's now a noted game and lives on whereas if
the conventional tactics had been used the
game would have faded completely and
anonymously into the past."
Much like Steve O'Shaughnessy's 35-minute
hundred in 1983, Vance's over is consigned to
being a footnote in the record books,
although the 182-run ninth-wicket stand
remains a Canterbury record.

are the legitimate ones) 0444664614106666600401
Australia in New Zealand 200910
Bollinger chases change of fortune
Cricinfo staff
March 15, 2010
Doug Bollinger is confident he can bounce
back from a poor one-day series to play a key
role in Australia's five-day attack when the
first Test starts in Wellington on Friday.
Bollinger had the first real lean patch of his
international career when he managed only
four wickets at 57.75 in the ODI series against
New Zealand.
It followed an outstanding home summer in
Test and one-day cricket as Bollinger went
from fringe player at the start of the season
to a first-choice bowler in both formats. He
will grab the new ball at the Basin Reserve
against an inexperienced New Zealand top
order and Bollinger is keen to take on extra
seniority in a pace attack likely to feature
either the uncapped Ryan Harris or Clint
McKay, who has played one Test.
"It was not the best one-day series but you
can't get four-for every game," Bollinger said
in Wellington on Monday. "I don't think I've
done it to the best of my ability this series
but that's the way it goes and I'm sure I'll be
back. Hopefully I'll do well in the Test
matches.
"There's not much I can do about the onedayers. That's the game. That's why we love
it and that's why we hate it. I'm happy to
take that [extra responsibility] on. It's
something that I've wanted to do for so long
so it'd be great to do."
The Australians are considering the balance
of their side, with the legspinning allrounder
Steven Smith considered a realistic chance to
make his Test debut. If Smith is included the
selectors must decide whose place he will
take, with the out-of-form No. 6 Marcus
North potentially vulnerable.
Australian domestic news
Hartley wins top Sheffield Shield award
Cricinfo staff
March 15, 2010
Chris Hartley the Queensland wicketkeeper, has
been named the Sheffield Shield Player of the
Year following an outstanding season with bat
and gloves. Hartley accepted the award at the
MCG on Monday before turning his attention to
Wednesday's Shield final against Victoria.
Hartley collected 17 votes during the season to
pip Damien Wright (16), the Victoria bowler, and
New South Wales' Phillip Hughes (14) for the top
prize. The Bulls have relied on Hartley
throughout their campaign and his 774 runs are a
record for a Queensland wicketkeeper in a
season. He also took 41 catches to be behind only
Luke Ronchi on the list of dismissals.
Victoria's Brad Hodge was the FR Cup Player of
the Series while David Warner and Kieron Pollard
shared the Twenty20 prize. South Australia had
another trophy-free campaign on the field but
they were recognised with the Benaud Spirit of
Cricket honour for their hard but fair play. New
South Wales collected the women's version of the
award.
South Australia's Dan Christian, who made his
Twenty20 international debut last month, was
the Lord's Taverners Indigenous Cricketer of the
Year and Steve Davis won the Cricket Australia
Umpire award. Sarah Elliott, Victoria's middleorder batsman, was the WNCL Player of the
Series while Alex Blackwell, the Australia
captain, was recognised for her exploits in the
Twenty20 tournament. The Australian Cricketers'
Association teams were also named at the
function.
