The Selection of a Captain is one of the most important and critical decisions that a club can make as the impact and influence is deeply felt across all layers within a team, club and community. A poor process and little thought invites risk and disaster, while a well-considered and inviting manner can establish a foundation for progress and success.

This article How to Help a Captain is the next step as a reference for club leaders to identify the support in so that the decision once made, is key for setting up success.

The methodology and logic around Selecting A Captain – Get it Right was written and published in August 2018 with a focus upon how it should be done with some guidance to deliver the expected and desired standards and outcomes.

The Cricket NSW Foundation, in a bid to provide better training to umpires across the state, provided a grant to the NSW Cricket Umpires and Scorers’ Association (NSWCUSA) in the 2023-24 season to enable greater access to cricket for aspiring umpires across regional NSW.

The grant allowed the NSWCUSA to subsidise the cost of attending and sitting the Laws of Cricket workshops across NSW to remove a financial barrier to getting more umpires officiating games of cricket in NSW.

Dan Maroske - Western Suburbs District Cricket Club

I started playing grade cricket in 3rds for University Queensland Cricket Club at the turn of the century. I played my first game of 1st grade in 2003 before moving to Wests in 2006 after a stint at Challow & Childrey CC in Oxfordshire. At 25, I disappeared to the UK for 5 years where I played for Richmond in the Middlesex County Cricket League before returning to Wests for the twilight of my career. My last 1sts game was in 2017 and I have been descending the grades at pace since then. I’ve been lucky enough to win 1sts, 2nds, 3rds premierships in my time, as well as a couple UK league titles and 3 “world cups” for the Australian Lawyers Team.

We thought this terrific interview with Gilbert Enoka would provide value to all cricket players, coaches and club managers administrators.

Cat Peters from Grit and Greatness

When you join the NZ All Blacks Rugby Team, the legacy itself is far more intimidating than any opponent you’ll face.

Add to that the pressure, expectations and weight of a nation and you have the ultimate game within the game. We sit down with Gilbert Enoka - All Blacks Leadership Manager, internationally renowned mental skills coach and the man who's known for being able to get inside the heads of one of the greatest international sports team in history.

His true Kiwi, no b/s approach to greatness and the man who coined the 'No Dickheads' policy with a motto "if you can't change the people, change the people" has helped build one of the greatest and most revered cultures and proudest legacies of any team in history.

Join us as we get inside Gilbert's head and learn the tools and tactics to address resilience, pressure and manage expectations. Oh and we also find out just how bad the man cold really is (or isn't) when it hits the All Blacks camp...

Bronko Djura was one of the best all-round sportsmen to play cricket for Petersham-Marrickville. He was an outstanding junior player in both cricket and rugby league. In 1980 he played under 16s cricket for NSW and made the Australian under 16s team. He later played under 19s cricket for NSW and Australia touring England in 1983. He played in all three Youth Tests completing 31 dismissals including 10 catches in one match. He was selected on the tour as the preferred ‘keeper ahead of Queensland’s Ian Healy who later became one of the great Australian wicket-keepers.

In 1982 Bronko played Australian Schoolboys rugby league touring New Zealand with the likes of Paul Langmack and Andrew Ettingshausen. A Newtown Jets rugby league junior, he went on to be graded with South Sydney at age 19 when the Jets were eliminated from the competition at the end of 1983.

I was never much of a bowler, but I believe that if a batsman is hit on the pads without offering a shot ALL the benefit should go to the bowler.

If the umpire says not out and DRS shows it clipping the stumps by 1 mm, to me that's out, fair and square.

It happened a few times in 22/23 to Nathan Lyon, where the batsman got the benefit of DRS because less than 50% of the ball was hitting.

For 'not offer a shot' LBW decisions, surely DRS is there to protect that batsman from the umpires howlers, not to protect the umpires from their own howlers.

As it currently stands when not offering a shot, a batsman is afforded the same protection as one that actually took a risk and played a shot but missed.

Fair enough to send it upstairs if you've been robbed... but otherwise use your bat, that's what it's there for.

NSWCUSA - Annual Dinner and Awards Night

Alan Marshall (#14) and Arthur Watson (#15) were inducted into the NSWCUSA Hall of Fame. This was beautifully put together by the Association, appreciated by members of the late Alan Marshall’s family and by Arthur Watson and his wife, Ann, who were in attendance. Arthur spoke superbly about his work with Alan over many years in honouring him. Alan and Arthur have been such outstanding ambassadors and contributors on and off the field. We owe so much to those who dug the well in the NSWCUSA, standing strongly on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. Alan and Arthur were deserving HoF inductees, they have done and achieved so much. Given their friendship, teamwork and respective contributions, it was fitting they were honoured on the same night.
