Annual Report 2012/13
Cricket. Oh what a feeling!
From a sunset game on the beach to a Test match on the mighty MCG,
we too love our cricket. At our Altona plant, we’ve been building Australian
cars such as new Camry for Australian families for nearly 50 years, so we know
it takes commitment, teamwork and passion in the quest to improve and
continually be at our best. These are qualities we share with the Australian
cricket team. That’s why Toyota is a proud sponsor of Cricket Australia.

From the Chairman
The Lend Lease Breakers created more history
by becoming the first team to win both the
Women’s T20 and Women’s National Cricket
League competitions in the same year. This
was their maiden WT20 trophy, but their
eighth WNCL crown in as many summers.
Congratulations to all of the players, and to
new Head Coach Joanne Broadbent on an
outstanding first season with NSW.
Special mention of the Lend Lease Breakers’
captain, Alex Blackwell, who produced
an amazing season filled with personal
milestones. During 2012/13, Alex averaged
92.80 in the WNCL and was the leading run
scorer in the WT20. She played her 100th
WNCL match and joined an elite group of
players to have scored over 3000 WNCL runs.
She also moved into outright second on the
list of most centuries scored in WNCL history.
It was no surprise to see her receive the
Belinda Clark Medal as the Lend Lease
Breakers Player of the Year!
Cricket NSW’s vision is to “Ignite Australia’s
Favourite Sport in Australia’s Biggest State”.
It is a statement that recognises the important
role NSW has in ensuring the success of
cricket in this country, and one that governs
the operations of our organisation at all levels.
Over the last year, 10 NSW players
represented the Australian men’s team in
either Test, ODI or T20 cricket, while another
10 NSW players played in the Commonwealth
Bank Southern Stars team that won the ICC
50 over Women’s World Cup, World T20 and
Rose Bowl tournaments. This is a wonderful
result. We were also delighted to see a
number of NSW-developed players in Jackson
Bird, John Hastings, Usman Khawaja, Phil
Hughes and Ed Cowan also wear the Baggy
Green cap.

The Sydney Sixers excelled on the
International scene by winning the Champions
League T20 in South Africa. Indeed, the team
was undefeated. Brad Haddin led the group
superbly and all the players and support
staff deserve congratulations on a successful
campaign.
This victory was punctuated by some
outstanding individual performances, with
Michael Lumb and Mitchell Starc finishing
as the tournament’s leading batsman and
bowler respectively, and Josh Hazlewood
voted as the Sydney Sixers’ Player of the
Tournament.
At a domestic level, NSW won six out of the
12 National Championships, male and female,
run by Cricket Australia in 2012/13.
The Lend Lease Breakers were the icing on
the cake in what was outstanding summer
for NSW women’s cricket. For the first time
since 2008/09, NSW achieved a clean sweep
of all Cricket Australia Female National
Championships, with our U/15s, U/18s and
Imparja Cup teams adding to the celebrations.
This was also the ninth time NSW has won
the U/18 title, which was previously an U/17
Championship, and the sixth occasion that
NSW has won the women’s division at the
Imparja Cup.
The NSW Country men’s team was another to
taste success after defending its title at the
Australian Country Cricket Championships.
This was the team’s 11th Championship
overall, and maintains this State’s wonderful
record at this competition.
It was a tough season for the NSW SpeedBlitz
Blues. They rallied after Christmas to miss the
Bupa Sheffield Shield Final by one competition
point, and placed a disappointing fourth in the
Ryobi Cup.
While the team results were below
expectations, there were a number of
individual performances of note. Moises
Henriques had a terrific season, scoring his
maiden First Class century and earning his
Test debut. Brad Haddin and Steve Smith were
recalled to the Australian team on the back
of some excellent form while Scott Henry and
Gurinder Sandhu emerged as players to watch.
The rise of Gurinder Sandhu was especially
thrilling. To win the Steve Waugh Medal as a
Rookie contracted player was testament to his
potential and he looks to have a big future.
In reflecting on our season, it is vital that we
acknowledge areas of strength, and where
we can continue to improve. Changes to our
coaching structure set a great platform for
improved on-field performances and future
success.
We have appointed Trevor Bayliss as Head
Coach of the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues. He brings
significant experience to this role having
guided the side to both Shield and One Day
titles during his previous stint as coach, and of
course he has international experience having
successfully coached Sri Lanka. Trevor will
also continue to coach the Sydney Sixers in
the KFC T20 Big Bash League while Chandika
Hathurusinghe, who has been confirmed as
the NSW Assistant Coach, will take charge
at the Sydney Thunder.
After disappointing results in BBL|02, it
is crucial that we turn around the on-field
performances of both the Sixers and Thunder
in 2013/14, while also establishing them as
national leaders in off-field areas including
membership and attendances.
Over the last 12 months, Cricket NSW
has continually looked for ways to engage
communities and promote cricket at the grass
roots. During 2012/13, NSW participation
numbers grew by 4.9%, with much of this
due to the expansion of our school programs,
including the MILO T20 Blast Schools Cup.
The Game Development team is highly focused
on further growing participation, with Schools,
Country and youth cricket each as vital as the
other to growing our game.
Our Mosaic Strategy endeavours to
broaden the appeal of cricket by reaching
out to multicultural communities who have
traditionally not been involved in the game.
As well as delivering initiatives such as
MILO in2CRICKET during winter, and working
with English as a Second Language classes
in schools, the Mosaic Strategy provides
education tools for clubs and associations
to assist them in attracting and understanding
players from different cultures.
Grade cricket continues to provide the best
preparation for the rigours of First Class
cricket. Therefore we will continue to ensure
our First Class players are available for Grade
cricket as often as possible.
I would like to take this opportunity to
congratulate St George (Belvidere Cup), North
Sydney (Limited Overs) and Fairfield-Liverpool
(T20) on their First Grade titles, and St George
on winning the prestigious Club Championship.
Congratulations also to Women’s First Grade
T20 Premiers, Universities, First Grade
Premiers Bankstown Sports and Women’s
Grade Club Champions, St George-Sutherland
on their outstanding seasons.
I must also acknowledge the fine careers of
Grant Lambert and Steven Green. Two of the
stalwarts of the Sydney Grade competition
announced their retirements at the end of last
season and leave the game with the respect
and admiration of their peers.
For the 2012/13 Financial Year, it is pleasing
to advise that Cricket NSW will record a
surplus of $1.7 million. This result, during the
‘long GFC’ when sponsorship and commercial
markets are weaker was much needed.
Moving forward, the Board has endorsed the
implementation of a new Financial Model
between Cricket Australia (CA) and the States.
Under this arrangement, CA will accept the
risk and rewards associated with hosting
International fixtures, and in turn provide
each State with a minimum guaranteed
return for the next four years and beyond.
This model was piloted in Victoria and
NSW during 2012/13, and we are confident
that Cricket NSW will benefit from this
arrangement in the future.
We were also delighted to confirm that
Transport for NSW will continue as our
Major Sponsor for a further three years.
Through this sponsorship, Cricket NSW and
the NSW Government have worked to deliver
a number of road safety messages to the
community, including the recent “What’s Your
Plan B?” campaign, which encourages fans to
find a safe way home from a night out, other
than driving.
We sincerely thank Transport for NSW and the
State government for their ongoing support.
The last 12 months has seen several
retirements from the Cricket NSW family
and it is important that we pay tribute to
their contribution to the sport.
Lisa Sthalekar first represented NSW in the
WNCL back in 1998, shortly after finishing
high school. She went on to become the most
capped player in the history of the WNCL
and its leading wicket taker. She played in
16 straight WNCL Finals and won 14 titles,
including five straight as captain!
She retired from all cricket immediately after
Australia won the ICC World Cup in India. Her
12 year International career saw her win two
Ashes series, two World Cups and two World
T20s, as well as captaining Australia
on several occasions.
Lisa is one of the legends of Australian
women’s cricket and behalf of everyone at
Cricket NSW, we congratulate her on a
stellar career.
Mark Taylor stood down from the NSW Cricket
Board at the Annual General Meeting in
September 2012, bringing to an end almost
30 years continuous involvement with Cricket
NSW as both a player and administrator.
I am delighted to advise, that with the
Delegate Members’ support, a strategic
decision was led by the Board that amended
our constitution, allowing the NSW Cricket
Board to appoint Mark as an independent
representative on the Cricket Australia Board
in June 2013. We are delighted that his
knowledge and expertise will be used at this
level. I would like to thank Director, Dr David
Dilley, who stepped in selflessly through an
interim period in 2013, and represented NSW
on the Cricket Australia Board with distinction.
Mark’s resignation from the NSW Cricket
Board was one of a number of changes over
the last 12 months. Mike Silver and Doug
Cole both concluded their service following
the Annual General Meeting after several
distinguished years on the Board, along with
Richard Cook, while former Chairman Dr Harry
Harinath also stepped down from his post in
February 2013.
Harry served as Chairman from 2008 to 2013
and played a major role in the development of
facilities around the State.
On behalf of the organisation, I would like to
extend my thanks to these Directors who have
all played a major role in shaping Cricket NSW
over a long period of time.
I would like to acknowledge former Chief
Executive, David Gilbert. David was a driving
force behind a period of great change in
Cricket NSW. A respected administrator,
David’s 11-year tenure helped significantly
grow not only the organisation itself, but also
the resources that could be invested back into
the game.
Thank you also to my colleagues on the NSW
Cricket Board, Marshall Rosen, Ian Hogg, John
Knox, Patricia Forsythe, David Dilley, Kevin
Greene and Greg Monaghan for their support
over the past 12 months, and also Acting Chief
Executive Michael Dalton and the Cricket
NSW staff for their dedication.
2013 is a special year for the NSW Cricket
Umpires’ and Scorers’ Association who
celebrated their Centenary on 15 August
2013. Umpires and scorers play a major role
in cricket at all levels and we are extremely
grateful for the contribution they make to
this sport.
I suspect Cricket NSW has never experienced
as much change as we have seen in the past
year. The pleasing news is that we have
a well-rounded Board, some exciting new
appointments, and a real sense of optimism
within our great people.
We welcome our new Chief Executive Andrew
Jones, who commenced in July 2013, and we
look forward to the season ahead with strong
expectations. With the 2013/14 Ashes Series
in Australia and the 2015 ICC World Cup not
far away, it is certainly an exciting time for
cricket.
Finally, I would like to convey my gratitude to
all of the volunteers, club supporters, parents
and lovers of cricket who are the foundations
on which our wonderful sport is built. Your
support and commitment to cricket is greatly
appreciated, and we thank you all.
John A Warn
Chairman
Sydney Grade cricket continues to provide
an important stepping stone to the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues and Lend Lease Breakers.
Having personally been involved in the SCA
Grade set-up for the past 20 years as a player
and administrator, I firmly believe that our
men’s and women’s competitions are the
two strongest in the country and we must
keep them that way. In particular, we must
engage Clubs and players to understand
socio-demographic challenges that may
reduce player availability and affect
retention of experienced players.
5
From the Acting Chief Executive
Cricket NSW is extremely proud of the Lend
Lease Breakers who in 2012/13 took their
game to another level by becoming the first
team to win both the WNCL and WT20 in the
same season.
The Lend Lease Breakers lost just one match
on their way to meeting Queensland in the
WNCL Final at the SCG. In an outstanding
team performance, the Breakers prevailed by
15 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis Method to
secure an amazing eighth consecutive title,
and their 15th in 17 seasons.
Less than a week later, they celebrated again
with a five wicket victory in the WT20 Final
against Western Australia in Perth. This win
completed an undefeated T20 season for the
team, with the players delighted to finally
receive a trophy that had eluded them since
the tournament’s inception four summers ago.
2012/13 was one of the most challenging
years in the recent history of Cricket NSW.
However, there was still plenty to celebrate
through the on-field success of our teams and
the high representation of NSW cricketers at
International level.
The summer opened with the Sydney Sixers’
comprehensive victory at the Champions
League T20 in South Africa. Despite losing
coach Trevor Bayliss to his IPL franchise, as
well as having some key players unavailable,
the Sixers rallied to go through the tournament
undefeated and become the second team from
NSW to win this prestigious crown.
The NSW SpeedBlitz Blues had an up-and-down
summer, but showed plenty of determination and
class to finish the season strongly. They finished
fourth in the Ryobi Cup after winning their last
three matches, and were unlucky not to reach the
Final of the Bupa Sheffield Shield, missing out by
a single point, the result of a deduction due to a
slow over rate.
6
This was a season of opportunity for the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues. We saw Daniel Hughes,
Gurinder Sandhu and Adam Zampa make
their First Class debuts, while Scott Henry, in
his first full season of Interstate cricket, was
a consistent performer and scored a double
century for the Chairman’s XI against Sri
Lanka. Senior players Brad Haddin, Moises
Henriques, Steve Smith and Josh Hazlewood
all performed well, and earned call-ups to the
Australian team at different stages during the
summer.
There is a tremendous amount of potential in
this side, and we eagerly wait to see what
they can achieve under new Head Coach,
Trevor Bayliss, in 2013/14.
The Lend Lease Breakers were wonderfully
led by captain Alex Blackwell, vice captain
Rachael Haynes, and Joanne Broadbent,
who has made an immediate impression on
women’s cricket in this State during her first
season as Head Coach.
Securing the WNCL and WT20 double were
just two of the many highlights for NSW
women’s cricket. Our U/18, U/15 and women’s
Imparja Cup teams also won their respective
competitions, which meant a clean sweep
of all Cricket Australia Female National
Championships, a feat that we last achieved
in 2008/09. Our congratulations to all of the
players, coaches and support staff involved
in this remarkable achievement!
The NSW Country men’s team was another
of our sides to return home with a trophy,
claiming back-to-back Australian Country
Cricket Championships. This was the 11th time
NSW has won this tournament, with the effort
made all the more remarkable by the fact
that there were seven new faces in the team
from the side which won this competition in
2011/12.
NSW also placed second in the men’s Imparja
Cup and U/17 Male National Championships,
and fourth in the U/19 Male National
Championships.
Cricket NSW aims to be Australia’s number
one producer of International cricketers.
An outstanding 10 NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
were selected in National teams in 2012/13.
Captain Michael Clarke, Shane Watson, David
Warner and Mitchell Starc were regulars in
the side, while Moises Henriques thoroughly
deserved his Test debut during the series
against India. Steve Smith and Brad Haddin
also returned to Test cricket in 2012/13 after
a number of appearances in One Day cricket,
with Josh Hazlewood called up to the squad
for the Third Test against South Africa. Josh
and Ben Rohrer made their T20 International
debuts in Brisbane while Pat Cummins
represented Australia at the World T20 in Sri
Lanka before injury curtailed the remainder of
his International season.
Our presence in the Australian women’s
team was equally impressive. Alex Blackwell
(vice-captain), Rachael Haynes, Ellyse Perry,
Lisa Sthalekar, Alyssa Healy, Sarah Coyte,
Nicola Carey, Leah Poulton and Erin Osborne
were all part of the Southern Stars squad
which won the World T20 in Sri Lanka at the
start of the summer.
Blackwell, Haynes, Perry, Sthalekar, Healy,
Coyte and Osborne then helped Australia win
the 50 over World Cup at the end of February,
capping off an outstanding few months for
Australian women’s cricket.
After the success at Champions League,
the results of the Sydney Sixers and Sydney
Thunder in BBL|02 were disappointing,
finishing seventh and eighth respectively.
In light of these results, the NSW Cricket
Board has completed a comprehensive review
of our BBL operations, with a number of steps
taken ahead of BBL|03.
These includes the appointment of NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues Head Coach, Trevor Bayliss,
and Assistant Coach, Chandika Hathurusinghe
to lead the Sixers and Thunder respectively,
while we are excited to have Mike Hussey
join the Thunder’s playing roster.
Promoting and developing cricket at the
grass roots remains a major focus for Cricket
NSW. A number of successful initiatives were
launched during 2012/13, and in particular
we were delighted to introduce our Mosaic
Strategy across the State.
Our Mosaic Strategy aims to engage
participants from non-traditional cricket
backgrounds by addressing the cultural
and awareness issues that have previously
impeded children from getting involved in
this sport. The Program culminated with
a Citizenship Ceremony at the KFC T20
International on Australia Day where we
welcomed over 20 new Australians and
their families.
Another new initiative was to expand the
MILO T20 Blast Schools Cup by introducing a
competition for boys and girls in Years Three
and Four to complement the existing program
for Years Five and Six. There were more than
28,000 boys and girls involved in this program
which was a significant contributor to the
4.9% growth in participation for the season.
Both the MILO T20 Blast School Cup and
Mosaic Strategy focus on teaching new
participants the basic skills of the game,
then encourage them to pursue their interest
through a local club.
The Lend Lease Breakers celebrate their eighth straight WNCL title.
We will continue to increase our Game
Development resources throughout the
State. In the last 12 months we appointed
an additional staff member to service the
Central Coast, which was previously joined
to our Newcastle region, and we are planning
to employ additional staff for other keys areas
across NSW, including regional areas.
we look forward to assisting them to deliver
vital road safety messages for many seasons
to come.
Financially, Cricket NSW will record a profit
of just over $1.7 million for the 2012/13
Financial Year. This is primarily due to the
$1.5 million in prize money won by the Sydney
Sixers at the Champions League, as well as
special grants from Cricket Australia totalling
$1.1 million. This is an excellent result for the
Association after several difficult years.
I would especially like to extend my gratitude
to former Chief Executive David Gilbert and
Chairman, Dr Harry Harinath OAM. These two
men have made a major contribution to the
growth of cricket in this State over a number
of years, and on behalf of the staff, I wish
them well for their future endeavours.
The financial responsibility for income
and expenses associated with International
cricket will now be covered by Cricket
Australia, thereby removing a significant
level of risk from one of our major revenue
streams and allowing us to plan for the
future with more certainty.
Thank you also to all of the volunteers around
NSW who have helped to foster the game
from the grass roots, right up to the elite
level. Your efforts and commitment are greatly
appreciated by everyone at Cricket NSW.
Finally, I would like to welcome Andrew Jones
as the new Chief Executive of Cricket NSW.
Andrew has a long history with Cricket NSW
and played a key role in the development of
our Strategic Plan. We look forward to working
closely with him as we prepare for an exciting
2013/14 season.
All of the State Associations and Cricket
Australia have agreed to implement a new
financial model from 2013/14. Under this
arrangement, Cricket Australia has negotiated
a four year minimum guarantee with each
State to replace the income that the host
State would expect to generate from
International matches.
Our success over the last 12 months could
not have been possible without the dedicated
staff at Cricket NSW, and the tireless efforts
of the NSW Cricket Board, led by Chairman,
John Warn.
Michael Dalton
Acting Chief Executive
Cricket NSW is fortunate to receive wonderful
support from a number of outstanding
sponsors. 2012/13 was especially significant,
with Transport for NSW agreeing to renew our
partnership for a further three years. Now in
its 12th year, this sponsorship is already one
of the most enduring in Australian sport and

Lisa Sthalekar (NSW 1998 – 2013)
STHALEKAR, Lisa Caprini | Born: 13 August, 1979, Poona, Maharashtra, India | Right Hand Bat – Right Arm Off Spin Bowler
Lisa Sthalekar’s career is one that most
cricketers only dream about. After making her
State debut in January 1998, she went on to
play 190 matches for NSW over 16 seasons.
Tests
Her amazing record includes an astonishing
16 straight WNCL Finals between 1997/98
and 2012/13. In that time she won 14 titles
with the Lend Lease Breakers, including five
consecutive crowns as captain.
Sthalekar is one of the legends of NSW
cricket. Just under two months after finishing
high school, she was selected to play her first
match in the WNCL against Queensland at Old
Kings Oval in Parramatta. It was the first of
145 WNCL matches, the most of any player
in the history of the competition.
She retired as the leading wicket taker in the
history of the competition with 166 victims at
an average of 21.95. She is also one of only
seven players to have scored more than 3,000
WNCL runs, finishing with 3,414 at 34.14.
In T20 cricket, Sthalekar represented NSW
on 45 occasions. Her last appearance came in
the 2012/13 Final against Western Australia
in Perth where the Lend Lease Breakers won
their maiden WT20 crown.
In this format she scored 587 runs at 21.74
and was the first player to take 50 wickets in
Australian women’s domestic T20 history.
She won the Belinda Clark Medal as the Lend
Lease Breakers Player of the Year on four
occasions, including three consecutive Medals in
2005/06, 2006/07 and 2007/08, while she shared
the honour with Leah Poulton in 2011/12.

toured England in 2001. Her role in the team
back then was primarily as an off-spin bowler,
however, over the next few years Sthalekar
found herself moving up the batting order as
she started to establish herself as one of the
rising all-rounders in the game.
In 2003 she made her Test debut in Brisbane
in the first of two home Tests against England.
Australia won that match easily only for
England to fight back in the second match at
Bankstown Oval. It was here that Sthalekar’s
skills and spirit first came to the fore. Australia
were 4-60 in their second innings at tea on
Day Three, a lead of just seven runs with
Sthalekar not out on 18.
She went on to make an unbeaten 120,
sharing in a record breaking fifth wicket stand
of 136 with Alex Blackwell (58) which not only
saved the game for Australia, but gave them a
chance of winning the Test on the last day.
That would be Sthalekar’s only Test century,
but one of three hundreds she made in
Australian colours.
One of Sthalekar’s greatest strengths as a
cricketer was her ability to evolve with the
game. As the game got faster, she got fitter
and smarter. Her small frame meant she
wasn’t always able to hit over the infield or
bomb sixes into the crowd. However, her
ability to work the ball into gaps was second
to none, while her combination of classical
and inventive strokeplay made her a constant
danger to all bowling attacks.
In the field, she was dynamic at mid-wicket
while her off-spin was continually ranked as
some of the best in the world.
Sthalekar’s last game for Australia was the
World Cup Final against the West Indies
in India. Having already won the World
T20, WNCL and WT20 in the same season,
Sthalekar had earmarked this tournament, in
the country of her birth, to be her swansong.
Not surprisingly she played a major role in the
match, snaring the key wickets of Merissa
Aguilerra and Deandra Dottin, then finishing
the game with a spectacular one-handed
diving catch.
Though she may have packed away her
playing gear, Sthalekar will not be lost to
women’s cricket. As the Manager of Female
Programs at Cricket NSW, she has already
overseen the development of players such as
Sarah Coyte, Alyssa Healy, Erin Osborne and
Ellyse Perry, with the next generation of Lend
Lease Breakers not far behind.
A former captain of the Australian Youth team,
Sthalekar made her International debut when

The 2012/13
Steve Waugh Medal Dinner
Clockwise from top: Cricket NSW Chairman, John Warn, with Hall of Fame Inductees Greg Matthews, Judy Duck on behalf of the late Amy Hudson, and
Mark O’Neill on behalf of the late Norm O’Neill; Daryl Braithwaite opened the evening with some classic hits; Trent Copeland and Steve Waugh share a
laugh on the Blue Carpet; Gurinder Sandhu and Alex Blackwell with Steve Waugh.
Lend Lease Breakers captain Alex Blackwell was an overwhelming
favourite to be named the Lend Lease Breakers Player of the Year after
an amazing few months. The skipper had scored close to 500 runs in
the WNCL at an average of over 90, while she also topped the list of
leading run scorers in the WT20.
The winner of the Steve Waugh Medal, however, was a complete
surprise with 19-year-old fast bowler, Gurinder Sandhu, claiming the
coveted award.
Sandhu enjoyed an outstanding start to his career with the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues, taking 14 wickets in just two Bupa Sheffield Shield
matches, and 14 wickets in four Ryobi One Day Cup appearances.
Making his achievement all the more remarkable was the fact that he
did not make his State debut until the end of January.
Receiving the Steve Waugh Medal from Waugh himself was a
wonderful experience for Sandhu, who was also voted the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues Ryobi Cup Player of the Year, and was named the joint
Male Rising Star alongside Scott Henry.
During the evening, Norm O’Neill, Amy Hudson and Greg Matthews
were inducted into the Cricket NSW Hall of Fame, with Matthews
delivering a passionate address about his time representing “the most
successful State, province or county in the world”.

As we reflect on the 2012/13 season, it was
definitely a case of what might have been.
With Chandika Hathurusinghe taking over the
coaching reins after the KFC T20 Big Bash
League, the standard of cricket the team
played in both the Bupa Sheffield Shield
and Ryobi Cup competitions was certainly
deserving of a trophy.
We only lost two matches out of 10 in the
Sheffield Shield, which was fewer than any
other State. However, we missed out on the
Final by just one point, after being penalised
for a slow over rate against Victoria. This was
frustrating to say the least.
In the Ryobi Cup, the team played some
outstanding One Day cricket towards the end
of the season, winning the last three matches
convincingly to finish only two points short of
a place in the Final. Some disappointing early
season performances, with only one win from
the first five matches, made the mountain to the
decider too tough to climb.
He was a standout winner of the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues’ Sheffield Shield Player
of the Year.
Three players, Adam Zampa, Gurinder Sandhu
and Daniel Hughes, made their First Class and
One Day debuts during 2012/13 and exciting
futures await these talented young players.
Doug Bollinger (28 wickets) and Steve O’Keefe
(24) both enjoyed excellent seasons, picking up
vital wickets to change the course of several
matches. Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa
also bowled several telling spells throughout
the year.
All batters showed glimpses of their best at
various stages, but the inability to build big
totals was the main reason the team didn’t
take part in either Final. Only five centuries
were scored by NSW players in the Bupa
Sheffield Shield and two in the Ryobi Cup.
There were several individual highlights
throughout the season. The work ethic and
professionalism of Brad Haddin continues to
set a wonderful example for younger members
of the squad. The bulk of his 468 runs at 52.00
were made when the team was under pressure
and highlighted his attitude and ability to take
the game by the scruff of the neck.
Whilst it would appear easy to say the
season was not a successful one, closer
inspection indicates otherwise. 13 NSW,
or NSW-developed players, represented
the National team across all formats during
2012/13, maintaining our strategic goal of
being the number one producer of cricketing
talent in Australia.
After an indifferent 2011/12, Nic Maddinson
showed in the second half of the season
why he is so highly regarded by his peers.
He finished the season as NSW’s leading run
scorer with 532 runs at 35.46, highlighted by
a brilliant 154 against Tasmania in Hobart. His
selection for the Australia A Tour of the United
Kingdom and South Africa will hopefully be
the springboard for a long International career.
The highlight was Moises Henriques becoming
Australia’s 432nd Test Cricketer during the
tour of India in February and March. Moises’
undoubted cricketing skills are now coupled
with a technique and a temperament to
withstand the demands of International cricket.
Moises Henriques’ breakthrough First Class
century, 161 not out, against Tasmania at
Bankstown, was an innings of the highest
quality and the catalyst for his elevation
to the National team.
The International T20 debuts of Josh Hazlewood
and Ben Rohrer against the West Indies were
wonderful rewards for their outstanding
performances in this format. Also, their inclusion
for Australia A for the one day matches against
the England Lions series in February were further
recognition for their efforts.
16
23 players wore the Baggy Blue Cap in
First Class cricket during 2012/13, whilst
22 represented NSW in the Ryobi Cup.
The meteoric rise of Gurinder Sandhu into First
Class cricket has been a pleasure to witness.
His consistency, execution and ability to extract
bounce out of seemingly docile surfaces
is rare in a bowler so young. Picking up 14
wickets at 11.85 in only two Sheffield Shield
matches, and 14 wickets at 14.57 in four Ryobi
Cup matches saw him at only 19-years-old
become the youngest player ever to win the
prestigious Steve Waugh Medal. His inclusion
for Australia A for the Limited Overs matches
against the England Lions indicates he is firmly
on the National radar. We look forward to his
continued development with great anticipation.
In conclusion, thanks to Michael Clarke,
Stephen O’Keefe, Ben Rohrer and Peter Nevill
for their selfless contributions in performing
the captaincy role during the season.
Finally, I would like to acknowledge the efforts
of all the hard working staff within the State
Cricket Department. Your efforts are greatly
appreciated.

Round 1: Western Australia vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
The WACA Ground, 18 – 21 September 2012
Starting the season early due to the appearance of the Sydney Sixers in the Champions League, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues achieved a rare victory at a
ground that had subjected them to much misery over the years.
Australian captain, Michael Clarke, skippered NSW for the First Class match, taking the field alongside several Test colleagues with the national
selectors using the chance to see players in action in Shield cricket before the first Test against South Africa.
Making the decision to bowl first was an attacking move in itself and it paid off as the Warriors were dismissed for 217. A pace attack of Doug
Bollinger, Trent Copeland, Josh Hazlewood and Moises Henriques would be difficult to face anywhere, but they exploited a seaming pitch well,
with Bollinger taking the honours with 19.1-2-55-3, and the others providing great support.
To take advantage the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues needed to create a big first innings lead and they did this thanks to excellent contributions from
Clarke (78), Henriques (78) and O’Keefe (74), to take an advantage of 141 runs into the second innings.
It was déjà vu for the home side second time around, with the quick bowlers again providing frequent breakthroughs. Copeland led the way this
time, picking up 4-57, as the Warriors crumbled to 248 all out to leave the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues chasing 108 for victory.
Peter Nevill did not let the chance slip as he belted 65 not out from 73 balls to see the visitors home by eight wickets.

Round 2: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs Tasmania
Bankstown Oval, 26 – 29 September 2012
In a match that they dominated throughout, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues finally had to settle for a draw after bad light brought proceedings
to a close early on day four.
With the Test players available for a second consecutive match, NSW got off to a terrible start before being rescued by a superb sixth wicket
partnership of 168 between Brad Haddin and Moises Henriques.
Haddin (114) was all class as he showed why he is the best keeper-batsman in the land, while Henriques brought up a major milestone in his
career with his maiden First class century. The all-rounder’s unbeaten 161, contained 15 fours and four sixes and was a defining moment for a player
that had threatened so often to play this controlled type of innings.
A final total of 442 provided a great springboard but Tasmania were dogged in their response, with Mark Cosgrove (84), Luke Butterworth (65no) and
Jason Krejza (48) all contributing before the Tigers made a surprise declaration 144 runs in arrears.
With the game now wide open, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues scored quickly through Nic Maddinson (86) and Henriques (50no) to set the visitors
a gettable target of 343 from 88 overs on the final day.
At 4-124, with Ponting dismissed for 34, the victory looked in sight but dogged defence from Aiden Blizzard (88) and Tim Paine (40) held out the
Blues before the match finished early due to bad light, with the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues three wickets short of victory. Moises Henriques capped
off a superb Man-of-the-Match performance with 12-0-41-3 in the second innings.

Round 3: Queensland vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
Allan Border Field, Brisbane, 2 – 5 November 2012
In the team’s first match back after the Sydney Sixers had returned victorious from the Champions League in South Africa, the NSW SpeedBlitz
Blues went down by six wickets despite having a full array of internationals available for the third consecutive match.
With the match played at Allan Border Field, both teams had to deal with a wicket offering extravagant movement and NSW struggled early on,
slumping to 184 all out with only Peter Nevill (42), Nic Maddinson (36) and Shane Watson (33) offering much resistance.
In reply, the presence of Mitchell Starc produced two wickets and the much vaunted pace attack again kept the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues in the game,
holding the home side to a slender lead of 72 runs.
The game was now there for the taking but without Shane Watson, who had succumbed to a calf injury, the batting failed again and NSW were
bowled out for 175 to leave the home side chasing a meagre 106 for victory with the match only three days old.
There was a hope that the small total could prove difficult but despite an early scalp to Doug Bollinger, Queensland reached the target for
the loss of only four wickets with former NSW player, Usman Khawaja, completing his second half-century of the match.

Round 4: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs Victoria
Sydney Cricket Ground, 13 – 16 November 2012
With rain taking out the majority of day four, the match was decided on first innings with the Victorians taking the two points after the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues failed to post a commanding enough total on day one.
With Scott Henry (78) holding the top order together, NSW were again indebted to Brad Haddin who remained undefeated on 108 as the visitors
posted a below average 293.
At 5-175 the game was in the balance but the main stumbling block was opener Chris Rogers, who ground his way to 125 from 258 balls before
being dismissed with 38 runs to get.
However, it was too late to mount a final charge as Cameron White, batting in the lowly position of number seven, added 72
to see the away side finally dismissed for 330 with a lead of 37.
The NSW SpeedBlitz Blues then set out to make a game of it by offering a challenging declaration on day four. The plan started well as they
reached a competitive 3-184 at the end of the penultimate day.
Unfortunately, the rain intervened, washing out all but five overs on the final day and ruining any chance of a result.
It was a major disappointment to a NSW side that had the bowling line-up to win the match if they had received the opportunity.

Round 5: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs Queensland
Manuka Oval, Canberra, 27 – 30 November 2012
A trip to the Nation’s Capital saw the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues just edge out Queensland in a State of Origin fixture played on neutral turf.
The match could not have started better for NSW after Queensland opted to bat first, with the visitors reduced to 4-18. From here a recovery took
place with Nathan Reardon (71) and Chris Hartley (66) adding 117 for the fifth wicket before the return of Doug Bollinger (4-57) helped wrap up the
Queensland innings for 243.
The main story of the day though was the First Class debut of leg-spinner Adam Zampa. Having been touted by many observers as one to watch,
Zampa didn’t disappoint, showing remarkable poise and accuracy to pick up two wickets on day one.
In reply, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues found it hard against some accurate bowling but Steve Smith (90) and Brad Haddin (73) laid the platform for
a declaration at 8-319, with a lead of 76 runs.
It seemed like it would be hard work to force a result but an opposition collapse to 173 all out, again saw the skill of Zampa as he picked up another
three wickets to leave him with five for the match and a great start to his career for NSW. It wasn’t over though, as NSW fell to 7-88, requiring
another 10 runs to win. Fortunately Sean Abbott (10no), who was a late inclusion in the team, saw them home in a nail-biter.
It was a good tonic for the team heading into Christmas. However, they could not afford any slip-ups after the break if they were to make the Final.

Round 6: NSW Speedblitz Blues vs Western Australia
Blacktown International Sportspark, 24 – 27 January 2013
The NSW SpeedBlitz Blues ventured out to Blacktown International Sportspark as part of an initiative to take cricket to the people of Western
Sydney, but came away frustrated after rain on the final day deprived them of a deserved victory.
After making the tough decision to leave out leg-spinner Adam Zampa, the home side bowled well on the first day to dismiss the Warriors for 242
with captain Stephen O’Keefe taking on the bulk of the work to record figures of 29.2-9-55-4.
The opportunity now existed to close out the game, but NSW couldn’t quite manage this despite contributions from Steve Smith (72) and Moises Henriques
(71), as they were bowled out for 344 and a lead of 102.
With the wicket offering plenty of spin, the Warriors looked out of it when they slipped to 6-102 before some frustrating lower order partnerships
allowed them to suck up valuable overs.
The visitors were 8-211 at stumps on day three with a lead of just 109. The game seemed all over but heavy rain on day four kept the players off the field for
nearly the whole day meaning that the match petered out to a draw.
Stephen O’Keefe was the standout performer, adding another four wicket haul to finish the match with eight victims and the Man-of-the Match award.
With no outright victory it meant that the team faced a difficult road to the Final with little room for error in the coming weeks.

Round 7: Tasmania vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
Blundstone Arena, Hobart, 6 – 9 February 2013
In a match that ebbed and flowed, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues finally did well to avoid outright defeat after a final day collapse had them hanging
on for dear life.
The first day saw a master-class from former Australian captain Ricky Ponting. Finishing the season in domestic colours, Ponting was sublime
as he picked off all bowlers to finish day one undefeated on 138, before reaching a superb double century on day two which allowed the home
side to declare at 6-425.
NSW looked out of the contest but mustered the energy to retaliate through Nic Maddinson (154) and the under-rated Trent Copeland, who scored
a maiden First class century (106) batting at number seven.
After reaching 500 all out, and a lead of 75, the momentum in the game had now changed and the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues went for the kill, bowling
out the Tigers for 245 with Chris Tremain picking up five wickets.
This left a chase of 171 from 25 overs on the final afternoon, but the task proved too much, with the visitors slumping to 8-114 before holding
on for the draw.
The result was disappointing, but with other results going in their favour NSW’s season was still alive with three matches to go.

Round 8: South Australia vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
The Adelaide Oval, 19 – 22 February 2013
A disappointing performance at the Adelaide Oval saw the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues fail with the bat in both innings to go down meekly to the
Redbacks.
Being bowled out for 157 after choosing to bat is not the usual course of events in the “City of Churches” and without a gallant 56 from Brad
Haddin, the situation could have been much worse!
It is difficult to come back from this position on such a good batting wicket, but four scalps each to Copeland and Bollinger limited the damage to
such an extent that the home side only took an 83 run lead into the back end of day two, before another NSW collapse sealed the match.
After such a poor effort first-time around the visitors were expected to post a challenging target, but by the end of day two had slumped to 7-141,
as former New South Welshman Joe Mennie took four wickets to leave his former State in tatters.
A final day miracle was required to keep the game alive after posting a lowly target of only 91. Hopes were raised for a short while as four wickets
to Doug Bollinger caused some panic, however, it wasn’t to be as the home side reached the score for the loss of six wickets to secure outright
points and put a major dent in the finals aspirations of the visitors.
Two outright wins and results going their way were now required if the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues were to have any hope of extending their season.

Round 9: Victoria vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
Melbourne Cricket Ground, 7 – 10 March 2013
A must-win game at the MCG saw the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues triumph inside three days, with paceman Gurinder Sandhu taking a remarkable seven
wickets on First Class debut.
A strong Bushrangers line-up was torn apart by Sandhu on day one as he finished with figures of 11-3-31-5, to see the home side ousted for 128.
While their response was not dominant, NSW did enough to create a first innings lead of 140 after contributions from Nic Maddinson (76) and Trent
Copeland (51) helped nullify the Victorian attack.
With a chance to make amends, the home side got themselves into a strong position at 5-234, before the dismissals of Cameron White (73) and
David Hussey (62) initiated a collapse which saw the Bushrangers lose 4-12, leaving the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues to chase 150 for victory.
Quite remarkably, the speed of the game meant that there was a possibility that the result could be achieved by the end of day three and this
eventuated after contributions from Nevill (37) and Rohrer (38no) saw the target reached for the loss of only four wickets.
This was a tremendous victory for the NSW SpeedBltiz Blues which also kept their hopes of reaching the Final alive, if they won their last match
outright and other results went their way.

Round 10: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs South Australia
Sydney Cricket Ground, 14 – 17 March 2013
A tremendous win in the last match by eight wickets was not quite enough to reach the Final as the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues were left to rue a one
point deduction for a slow over rate from earlier in the season.
Going into the match, NSW needed to win outright to even stand a chance of progressing further. After winning the toss and deciding
to bowl they were rewarded when the Redbacks’ collapsed to 182 all out with Gurinder Sandhu adding four more scalps to his season tally.
In reply, a weak batting effort saw NSW slump to 7-151 before contributions from Trent Copeland (40), Stephen O’Keefe (46) and Sandhu (45) saw them
reach a score of 219 and a first innings lead of only 37 runs.
The NSW SpeedBlitz Blues were equally devastating with the ball second time around with Sandhu adding another three wickets to see him finish
the season with 14 wickets from only two matches. This form was to see him pick up the Steve Waugh Medal as Player of the Season despite
playing in fewer than half the games.
With the Redbacks bowled out for a measly 127, NSW were again in position to finish the match inside three days and they duly did this with
Nic Maddinson going crazy, hammering an unbeaten 41 from 17 balls with five enormous sixes!
The team now temporarily stood in first position but victories to Tasmania and Queensland saw them do enough to reach the Final, with the
NSW SpeedBlitz Blues finishing third after an outstanding second half of the season.

FIVE WICKETS IN AN INNINGS ON FIRST CLASS DEBUT
Blacktown International Sportspark.
33
2012/13 Ryobi One Day Cup
Round 1: Western Australia vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
The WACA Ground, 16 September 2012
Round 2: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs Victoria
North Sydney Oval, 18 November 2012
With an early start to the season due to the Sydney Sixers and Perth
Scorchers both going to the Champions League in October, the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues ventured to Perth for their first match of the campaign
and came away with a victory.
With the second match of their season coming eight weeks after their
first, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues were on the end of an Aaron Finch
and David Hussey whirlwind as they were unable to defend 350 at the
picturesque, but tiny, North Sydney Oval.
Sent into bat, NSW were boosted by some early season form from
List A debutant, Scott Henry (66) at the top of the order. The main
partnership, however, came from Moises Henriques and Steve Smith
who added 126 for the fifth wicket.
With boundaries flowing from the first over, major contributions from
Scott Henry (61), Brad Haddin (35), Sean Abbott (40) and Peter Nevill
(39) were built on by Steve Smith, who racked up a 90 for the second
consecutive match when he was dismissed for 92 from 68 balls.
Henriques was magnificent in hammering 78 from 45 balls, including
five sixes, while Smith was desperately unlucky to fall one run short
of a century as he ended the innings unbeaten on 99 from 88 balls.
A final total of 350 seemed enormous, but previous matches at the
ground had shown how easily these totals can be chased down, and
Aaron Finch set about dismantling the home attack from the outset.
He did this with ease and after David Hussey joined him, the
boundaries flowed.
The final total of 5-281 seemed well above par and proved to be such.
The home side fell to 6-129, before a brief respite from Mitch Marsh
(78) gave their score some respectability. Eventually, the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues ran out winners by 27 runs, with Doug Bollinger
taking the bowling honours with figures of 4-67 from 13 overs.
The pair added 156 in 20 overs for the third wicket before Finch (140)
departed. The NSW SpeedBlitz Blues sensed a chance, but Hussey
(140no) quickly closed that down to take his side to victory by six
wickets, with an amazing 20 balls to spare.
His innings contained 10 fours and eight sixes. While most bowlers
received some punishment, Moises Henriques finished with the best
figures of 2-66 from 11 overs.

Round 3: Queensland vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
The Gabba, 21 November 2012
Round 4: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs Queensland
Manuka Oval, 2 December 2012
A second consecutive heavy defeat was not the bounce-back the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues were looking for as a batting collapse saw them lose
by 110 runs to old rivals, Queensland.
In their final match in the competition before breaking up for the
KFC T20 Big Bash League, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues suffered
a third consecutive defeat as their batting again let them down
against the Bulls.
The start of the match saw an interesting encounter as former NSW
batsman, Usman Khawaja, played his first match against his former
State. He was able to create a solid start for the home side before
the introduction of Stephen O’Keefe (3-65) slowed the scoring rate.
The innings saw regular contributions from several of the Bulls’
batsmen, with a final score of 8-252 being about par.
The chase was definitely there for the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues, but after
the dismissal of Nic Maddinson (18) to make it 2-72, things fell away
dramatically as only Brad Haddin (31) offered any real resistance. The
loss of 9-69 was a disaster with NSW bowled out for just 142. What
was unacceptable was wasting 13.1 overs as the middle order caved
in against some accurate pace bowling.
It was a definite reality check for the team early in the season.
After Usman Khawaja (85) and Chris Hartley (87) gave the visitors
a great start with a 154 run opening stand, NSW struggled to halt
the onslaught although they did enough to keep the final total under
300. Most of the bowlers found the wicket tough to get movement on,
but Moises Henriques toiled hard to record the best figures of 3-67 off
13 overs.
The Canberra wicket had held up well during the Shield match so the
target of 293 to win was achievable, if a good start kicked things off.
Unfortunately, after early inroads by Scott Henry (65), a middle order
collapse left the home side at 7-140 and the game looked over.
Enter Ben Rohrer, who was at his brilliant best as he chipped the ball
around and kept the score ticking over in conjunction with Josh Lalor.
The pair added 81 for the ninth wicket and had brought the NSW
SpeedBlitz Blues within 33 runs of victory when Lalor departed
for 26. Two runs later Rohrer was caught on the boundary for a brilliant
80 from 60 balls to confirm his place as one of Australia’s premier
limited-overs batsmen.
Unfortunately, the 30 run loss gave the side little chance of qualifying
for the Finals after Christmas.

Round 5: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs Western Australia
Sydney Cricket Ground, 30 January 2013
Round 6: Tasmania vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
Blundstone Arena, 11 February 2013
In the first match back after breaking to take part in the KFC T20 Big
Bash League, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues knew that they needed to win
their remaining fixtures in the competition to have any hope of making
the Final.
Showing the sort of form with the bat that they had been seeking all
season, the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues won a vital match against Tasmania
to keep their slim Finals hopes alive.
Unfortunately, they were totally outplayed by the Warriors who took
advantage of a good SCG batting wicket to post an above par score of
7-266 after the home side won the toss and sent them in.
The star of the show from a NSW point of view was debutant Gurinder
Sandhu, who claimed the bowling honours with 3-64. The tall paceman
was a revelation in the match, moving the ball sharply off the seam and
bowling a superb length.
With Shane Watson making a rare appearance, the chase was reliant
on a good start, but at 3-15, with Watson gone for six, the target
suddenly seemed a long way off and the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues were
never able to recover.
Solid contributions from Steve Smith (30) and Stephen O’Keefe (34),
kept the score respectable, but a final total of 155 all out with 4.5 overs
to spare, was extremely disappointing.
The team needed to re-group quickly and hope that results went their
way if they were to salvage something from a season that had started
with such confidence, before hitting a wall in the middle.

The day belonged to David Dawson who batted through the 50 overs to
score an unbeaten 124 from 139 balls. His ability to provide the backbone
of the innings allowed other players to flourish, with Tim Cruickshank (61)
providing the most help. Having represented the Sydney Sixers a few
weeks earlier, List A debutant Daniel Hughes, batting at number six,
helped put the finishing touches to the innings with 17 from 20 balls,
as NSW finished on an impressive 4-246.
The big question mark in response was whether the visitors could
contain Ricky Ponting, but emerging leg-spinner Adam Zampa claimed
a historic scalp when he had him caught behind for 28. From here the
bowling performance constricted the Tigers’ batsmen. After a great
start in the competition, Gurinder Sandhu confirmed his ability to bowl
economically and take wickets, with a superb spell of 5-35 from 9.3 overs,
that tore the heart out of the home side’s chase.
He was well backed up by spinner Luke Doran (3-64) who had opened the
bowling to great effect. A final score of 209 all out meant victory by 37
runs and a step up in confidence for the NSW side.

Round 7: NSW SpeedBlitz Blues vs South Australia
Sydney Cricket Ground, 14 February 2013
Round 8: South Australia vs NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
Adelaide Oval, 17 February 2013
The resurgence of the side in the second half of the season continued
as another solid team effort with the bat laid the platform for a
comprehensive victory. Winning the toss and batting on a good SCG
wicket meant a score of 250 plus was a minimum requirement. This was
achieved thanks to Nic Maddinson, who had re-discovered the form that
had Australian selectors talking about him for the previous two years.
His 85 from 74 balls contained a remarkable seven sixes as he lofted all
bowlers down the ground on a regular basis.
Two matches in four days against the same opposition proved to be
a bonus for the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues as they produced a similar
victory to the previous encounter on the back of a Brad Haddin century.
He was backed up by the industrious Tim Cruickshank (61) and the reliable
Ben Rohrer (41) as NSW posted a challenging 8-264 from their 50 overs,
despite Kane Richardson recording career best figures of 6-51. As in all
run chases, the start is everything, and it was here that the home side
immediately gained the ascendancy by reducing the visitors to 3-28 as Trent
Copeland showed that he could be a force in the one day game. The story of
the chase, however, was Gurinder Sandhu. His three wickets tore the heart
out of the Redbacks batting and he again showed a happy knack of taking
wickets by producing deliveries that were unplayable. His support came in the
form of leg-spinner Adam Zampa, who produced the figures of 13-0-55-3 and
impressed coach Darren Berry enough for him to sign Zampa to play for the
Redbacks in the months afterwards.
A final victory by 56 runs was an accurate reflection of the dominance
of NSW on the day.

from four matches, and take out the Player of the Year award for the
Ryobi Cup. He was well backed up by Sean Abbott who took three
wickets to finish the season in style. The result meant that the
NSW SpeedBlitz Blues finished fourth in the table, a point behind
the Redbacks.

Contributions from Peter Nevill (25) and Sean Abbott (36no) helped
the visitors to 8-266 from their 50 overs and challenged the Redbacks
to do what they hadn’t been able to at the SCG days earlier. This time
the home side started well and at 2-100, they seemed set to reach the
target before losing three wickets for no runs as they began to implode.
They surged again through Johan Botha (53) and Tim Ludeman (52),
before the return of Gurinder Sandhu quickly finished matters as he
clean bowled the final three batsmen.

2012 Champions League T20
The Sydney Sixers conquered all before them
in South Africa, winning six out of six matches
on the way to winning the coveted Champions
League T20 crown.
The Sixers went into the tournament
without Head Coach Trevor Bayliss and pace
spearhead Brett Lee, with both men called
upon to represent IPL franchises, while
Shane Watson was only permitted to play
a few of the Group matches before returning
home to prepare for the Test series against
South Africa.
In reply, the Sixers looked like they would
cruise to victory with Michael Lumb (33 off 19)
and Stephen O’Keefe (32 off 21) piling on 54
runs before Lumb fell in the fifth over. O’Keefe
was the next to go with the score on 85,
then a string of quick wickets saw them
slump to 7-132.
This failed to dull the team’s ambition and they
easily finished on top of Group B with victories
over the Lions, Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai
Indians and Yorkshire.
Ben Rohrer was now the key, and he answered
the challenge with 21 off 24 balls before
holing out two deliveries into the 20th over
with six runs still needed. The third ball of the
over to Cummins was a wide, and he then hit
the next ball for two. The next two resulted
in leg byes to level the scores, with one run
needed from the last delivery to prevent a
Super Over.
Their Semi Final clash with the Titans at
Centurion was a thriller. Batting first, the home
team made 5-163 from their 20 overs with
Josh Hazlewood (1-19), Mitchell Starc (2-33),
Pat Cummins (1-51) and Moises Henriques
(1-36) the wicket takers.
The final ball was a slow bouncer which
beat Cummins and went through to the
wicketkeeper, who attempted to throw down
the stumps as the batsmen scampered through
for a bye. He missed, the run was counted and
the Sixers were through to the Final.
After the thrill of the Semi, the Final saw
the Sixers produce a dominant and clinical
performance to smash the Lions by 10 wickets.
They bowled the home side out for just 121
with Josh Hazlewood (3-22) and Nathan
McCullum (3-24) leading the way. The winning
run was scored in just the 13th over with
Michael Lumb (82no off 42) and Brad Haddin
(37no off 33) finishing the job in quick time.
As they had done in BBL|01 at the start of the
year, the Sixers were made to play both their
Semi Final and Final at the opposition’s home
ground and it was an amazing team effort to
lift the trophy.
There were also a couple of outstanding
individual efforts, with Michael Lumb finishing
the tournament as the leading run scorer while
Mitchell Starc was the top wicket taker.

Sydney Sixers – BBL|02
After tasting success in both BBL|01 and the
2012 Champions League, the Sydney Sixers
finished seventh on the competition ladder
in BBL|02.
However, arguably the biggest signing for the
Sixers was David Warner, with the former
Sydney Thunder captain crossing over along
with wicketkeeper-batsman, Daniel Smith.
There were several changes to the Sixers
squad from the previous summer. Ben Rohrer
and Peter Nevill both joined the Melbourne
Renegades while Shane Watson returned
home to represent the Brisbane Heat. Key
players Brad Haddin, Steve Smith, Mitchell
Starc and Michael Lumb also missed sections
of the tournament due to International duty.
The Sixers opened their title defence at the
SCG with a ‘grudge match’ against cross town
rivals, the Sydney Thunder. The result was a
comprehensive seven wicket victory for the
champions with Brad Haddin, Steve Smith and
Nic Maddinson all contributing with the bat,
while Mitchell Starc and Luke Feldman were
the standouts with the ball.
Included in the roster were NSW SpeedBlitz
Blues Daniel Hughes and Kurtis Patterson,
with Josh Lalor returning to the SCG after
spending BBL|01 with the Perth Scorchers.
Luke Feldman arrived from Queensland while
West Indian Sunil Narine and Sri Lankans
Jeevan Mendis and Sachithra Senanayake
joined Michael Lumb in the team’s overseas
contingent.
The Sixers’ next assignment was the replay of
the BBL|01 Final against Perth, which ended
in a seven wicket defeat at the SCG. This was
followed by further losses to the Melbourne
Stars, Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers.
some of the rising stars. Josh Lalor featured
with the ball, taking 2-20 including the key
wicket of Chris Gayle, while it was Daniel
Hughes who got his side over the line with
a smart 54 not out.
Another win against the Heat saw the
Sixers enter their final home match with
a mathematical chance of reaching the
play-offs if they could beat the top-of-thetable Melbourne Renegades. Alas, they found
themselves on the wrong end of a whirlwind
innings from young Englishman Alex Hales,
who smashed 89 off just 52 deliveries just
hours after stepping off the plane. Ben Rohrer
also made a half-century as the Renegades
posted 5-178. The Sixers managed just 149 in
reply to end their season.
Brad Haddin finished the season as the team’s
leading run scoring, hitting 186 at 26.57 while
Luke Feldman was the top bowler with 10
wickets at 17.20. Feldman’s efforts also saw
him voted by his peers as the team’s Player
of the Tournament.
Desperately needing a win to keep their Semi
Final hopes alive, the Sixers prevailed in the
second derby match against the Thunder, this
time at ANZ Stadium. Despite plenty of big
guns in their side, this victory belonged to

Sydney Thunder – BBL|02
To say that the Sydney Thunder’s BBL|02
campaign was a disappointment is an
understatement. While there was plenty of
optimism before the start of the tournament,
the team failed to win a match despite coming
close on a number of occasions.
The campaign opened with a successful
recruitment period which included the
prized signature of Australian captain,
Michael Clarke.
A proud product of Western Sydney, Clarke
was named captain of the Thunder squad
for BBL|02. Unfortunately, injury ruled him
out of his only appearance for the team in
the opening match of the season against the
Sydney Sixers at the SCG. Chris Rogers led the
side in his absence.
After winning the Thunder’s Player of the
Year award in BBL|01, Chris Gayle agreed to
another season while Shahid Afridi was also
lured to Sydney after playing the previous
summer with the Adelaide Strikers.
Unfortunately, Afridi was later ruled
unavailable for tournament by the Pakistan
Cricket Board with countryman, Azhar
Mahmood, taking his place. England
wicketkeeper batsman, Matt Prior, and New
Zealand batsman, Martin Guptill, completed
the quota of International players.
The Sydney Thunder also welcomed veteran
fast bowler Dirk Nannes to the squad.
A player with significant domestic and
International experience, Nannes provided
crucial guidance to a young bowling attack
which included young NSW SpeedBlitz Blues
squad members Chris Tremain, Adam Zampa
and Gurinder Sandhu.
Unfortunately, the off-field promise failed
to convert into on-field results. There were
matches where victory slipped through their
fingers, including a four wicket loss to the
Sydney Sixers at ANZ Stadium and a 13 run
loss to the Melbourne Stars at the MCG.
Dirk Nannes was the Sydney Thunder’s
standout performer during the season. He
won the team’s Player of the Tournament
award after taking 11 wickets at 18.90 and
was ranked in the top 10 bowlers for the
competition. Chris Tremain and Adam Zampa
also impressed with the ball at different
stages, taking six wickets and five wickets for
the tournament respectively.
In the batting department, Usman Khawaja
was a key signing after electing to play
another season with the Thunder, with Chris
Rogers and Ryan Carters recruited from
Victoria. Mark Cosgrove and Rhett Lockyear
joined the team from Tasmania, while
Cameron Borgas arrived from South Australia.
Usman Khwaja was the Sydney Thunder’s best
with the bat. Despite coming in and out of the
squad due to National duty, he scored 206
runs at 41.20 with a strike rate of 119.76.

The Lend Lease Breakers squad remained
unchanged from the previous season, with
Rachael Haynes elevated to the vice captaincy
to work alongside Alex Blackwell.
There was a good mix of youth and experience
amongst our highly skilled playing group,
and this balance within the squad allowed
us flexibility, as well as creating a level of
competition where players had to earn their
place in the team.
Throughout September and October we
conducted the City vs Country series, Country
Championships and trial matches against
the ACT. These fixtures were especially
important for the development of our younger
players, with several Academy and U/18
squad members relishing the opportunity
to play against, and alongside, Australian
representatives.
The WNCL and WT20 commenced in October
and importantly we continued to build
momentum as the season progressed, to the
point where we were arguably playing our
best cricket at the time of the Finals.
We won seven out of our eight preliminary
round matches in the WNCL. The Final against
Queensland was a hard fought affair. The
team’s experience in big matches came to the
fore when it counted, and we lifted the Ruth
Preddey Trophy for the eighth straight season.
We went through the WT20 undefeated,
including two decisive victories against the
defending champions, Victoria, to knock them
out of the competition. Our performance in
the Final against Western Australia could best
be described as professional with the five
wicket victory producing an enormous sense of
achievement amongst the group.
Amongst several outstanding team
performances, Alex Blackwell was a standout.
In addition to playing her 100th WNCL match,
she was the leading run scorer in the WT20
and averaged over 90 in the WNCL. It came
as no surprise that she was voted by her team
mates as the Belinda Clark Medallist, as well
as the team’s WNCL Player of the Year.
Alyssa Healy won the WT20 Player of the Year
Award and we also had several players named
in the ACA WNCL and WT20 Teams of the Year.
The Lend Lease Breakers were very well
represented in International cricket, with Alex
Blackwell (vice captain), Nicola Carey, Sarah
Coyte, Rachael Haynes, Alyssa Healy, Sharon
Millanta, Erin Osborne, Ellyse Perry, Leah
Poulton and Lisa Sthalekar all selected for the
Southern Stars in 2012/13.
Building on her list of achievements,
Alex Blackwell played her 100th One Day
International in the World Cup Final. This was
also the last appearance in Australian colours
for Lisa Sthalekar, who retired from all cricket
after 16 outstanding seasons at the elite level.
Leah Poulton announced her retirement from
One Day Internationals, however, I am delighted
that she will continue to play for NSW and
make herself available for T20 Internationals.
It is a great feeling to be part of such a
talented team and organisation, and while
the Lend Lease Breakers have produced
outstanding performances on the field, they
are fully supported by our staff.
Our thanks go to the following people who
challenge our players to be better at what
they do: Michael Maclennan (Assistant
Coach), Kate Leslie (Physiotherapist),
Matt Dwyer (Strength and Conditioner),
Ben Sawyer (Assistant/Specialist Coach),
Bronwyn Munday (Administrator) and Kerry
Marshall (Team Manager).
Thanks also to Sudesh Arudpragasam,
Grahame Cassell, Cheryl Williams, Hamish
Solomons, Richard Lynch, Corey Richards,
David Freedman, Jim Robson, Janine Stainer
and Kath Koschel for their assistance
throughout the season.
This season saw the inclusion of Alex
Blackwell on the Selection Panel alongside the
Chair of Selectors, Kerry Marshall, and myself.
Selection is a difficult role and I thank both
Kerry and Alex for their time and effort.
On behalf of the squad, I would like to thank
former Cricket NSW Chief Executive, David
Gilbert, for his support over many years, and
we wish him well for the future.
Finally, we are extremely grateful to the
NSW Cricket Board, our Major Sponsor Lend
Lease, and Cricket NSW State Cricket General
Manager, David Thompson, for their ongoing
support, without which it would be difficult for
us to achieve our best.
Joanne Broadbent
Lend Lease Breakers Head Coach
We planned and prepared to win “the double”,
and we won “the double”, becoming the first
team to achieve the milestone of claiming
both the WNCL and WT20 competitions in the
same season. We were also very proud to take
out the Benaud Spirit of Cricket award.

Blacktown International Sportspark No.1,
20 October 2012
Round 2: Lend Lease Breakers vs Queensland Fire
Allan Border Field, Brisbane,
27 October 2012
The Lend Lease Breakers opened their title defence with a local derby
against the ACT.
This was a match where both teams held the ascendency at different
stages, however, it was the Lend Lease Breakers’ depth which
eventually prevailed for a convincing bonus point victory.
These teams had met at this venue just a few weeks earlier in a trial
where the ACT won a hard fought match. However, this was a different
ball game with NSW welcoming back eight players from International
duty.
Batting first, the ACT were reduced to 3-38 early on before Kris Britt
(54 off 73) launched a fight back with a gritty half-century. Kate Owen
(28 off 56) and Lynsey Askew (37 off 55) provided invaluable support
as they finished their 50 overs at 9-202.
It was a clinical performance by the Lend Lease Breakers in the field,
with many of the players picking up from where they left off for
Australia at the World T20. Erin Osborne was the pick of the bowlers
for the Breakers, taking 3-20 off 10 overs, with Ellyse Perry (1-31),
Sharon Millanta (2-33) and Lisa Sthalekar (1-46) also taking wickets.
Capitalising on the excellent work done by the bowlers, the batters
knocked off the required runs in just over 30 overs, with Rachael Haynes
(64 off 67), Alex Blackwell (51 off 40), Alyssa Healy (50 off 50) and
Lisa Sthalekar (29no off 23) all contributing to the seven wicket win.

20 October, 2012
Toss: ACT
New South Wales 4.5 pts*
Batting first, Queensland posted 7-210 from their 50 overs. At one
stage they had been reduced to 7-107, before an unbeaten seventh
wicket partnership of 103 runs between Delissa Kimmince (65no) and
Kirby Short (41no) saw them to a total that was defendable, if they
bowled well.
The Lend Lease Breakers lost a couple of early wickets but recovered to
reach 2-120 in the 22nd over, with Leah Poulton (42) and Alyssa Healy
(52) in control. However, three quick wickets put the cat amongst the
pigeons and at 5-138 it was anyone’s game!
If Queensland were sensing victory, the sensation didn’t last long as
Erin Osborne combined with Kara Sutherland for a match winning 67
run sixth wicket stand. Osborne was the aggressor, striking an unbeaten
65 off just 39 deliveries, while Sutherland played the foil with a patient
22 off 35 balls.
While the win itself was cause to celebrate, this was also the 100th
WNCL match for Lend Lease Breakers captain, Alex Blackwell, who
joined Lisa Sthalekar, Lisa Keightley, Leonie Coleman and Michelle
Goszko in an exclusive club.

Round 3: Lend Lease Breakers vs Western Fury
Blacktown International Sportspark No. 1,
24 November 2012
Round 4: Lend Lease Breakers vs Tasmanian Roar
7 December 2012
The Lend Lease Breakers flexed their muscle with the bat against a
young Western Fury side on the rise.
The Lend Lease Breakers defeated Tasmania by three wickets in an
enthralling, low scoring match.
Lisa Sthalekar (74 off 70) and Leah Poulton (50 off 76) both scored halfcenturies, however the highlight was a brilliant ton by Alex Blackwell,
who smashed 112 off 97 balls including 14 boundaries.
Batting first, Tasmania were in trouble early at 5-56, however, a
determined effort from their middle order saw them fight their way to
9-170 at the end of 50 overs.
The Lend Lease Breakers completed their 50 overs at 3-312, which
was also the sixth highest team score in the history of the WNCL.
Surprisingly, it was not the highest team score of the day as the
Victorians piled on a recording breaking 3-418 against South Australia.
Where the morning session was nothing short of spectacular, the
afternoon’s play could best be described as frustrating. Faced with a
flat pitch offering no assistance, the NSW bowlers struggled for regular
wickets and there were some missed chances in the field.
Western Australia were never in the hunt to chase victory but batted
out 48.4 overs on their way to posting 161 runs, scraping past the key
figure of 156 which denied the home side a second bonus point.

rescue. 21-year-old Sarah Coyte (34 off 64) steadied the ship to take the
score to 7-130, then 19-year-old Nicola Carey got the team over the line
in the 45th over with a mature 46 not out off 70 balls.

Player of the Match: AJ Blackwell
Amazingly, Lend Lease Breakers captain Alex Blackwell used 10
different bowlers with only Sharon Millanta (2-27) completing her
10 overs. The skipper had felt in control throughout the Roar’s innings
and saw this as a chance to test a few of her charges, should she need
to call on them at the business end of the tournament.

Round 5: South Australia Scorpions vs Lend Lease Breakers
Prospect Oval, Adelaide,
22 December 2012
Round 6: Vic Spirit vs Lend Lease Breakers
Junction Oval, Melbourne,
5 January 2013
The Lend Lease Breakers went to the short Christmas break undefeated
after accounting for South Australia by 129 runs.
The Vic Spirit handed the Lend Lease Breakers their first loss in over
two seasons of the WNCL, prevailing in an entertaining encounter by
three wickets with just nine balls to spare. Batting first, the Lend Lease
Breakers were bowled out for 273 in 48.4 overs. There were several
highlights, including half-centuries to Leah Poulton (50 off 52) and Alex
Blackwell (59 off 89), while Sarah Coyte made a rapid 47 not out from
43 deliveries at the death.
A solid effort with the bat saw them reach 6-221 from their 50 overs
with Alex Blackwell (51 off 100), Nicola Carey (33 off 38), Kara
Sutherland (37no off 44) and Claire Koski (20no off 13) the main
contributors.
In reply, South Australia capitulated to be all out for 92 in 40 overs.
Fast bowlers Sharon Millanta (2-15) and Sarah Aley (2-13) impressed
early in the innings, while leg spinner, Angela Reakes, was outstanding
in collecting 4-10 from nine overs.
With just one round left before the Semi Finals, the Lend Lease
Breakers’ momentum was building nicely.
Throughout the season the squad’s depth had been tested, and passed
with flying colours, as the likes of Carey, Sutherland and Reakes all
produced telling performances at different stages.
A few weeks earlier the Victorians had posted the highest team score in
the history of the WNCL and they quickly set about chasing the 274 runs
needed for victory. Thanks to Meg Lanning (59 off 56), Elyse Villani (39 off
53) and Jess Cameron (59 off 64), they cruised to 2-198, before three quick
wickets got NSW back into the match. However, this respite was short lived
as Briana Binch (27 off 33) and Kelly Applebee (35 off 39) put Victoria back
in charge with a 68 run sixth wicket partnership. Both fell within sight of
victory but by then the job was done, with Molly Strano (4 off 1) hitting a
boundary to end the match.
It was a disappointing result for NSW. They had failed to bat out
their overs, while their bowlers did not put the ball in the right areas
consistently enough, resulting in the end of their 23 game winning
streak which stretched back to 2009.
Fortunately, the loss made no difference to the Lend Lease Breakers’ place
on the competition ladder as they held on to top spot by half-a-point.

Semi Final: Lend Lease Breakers vs Western Fury
11 January 2013
The Lend Lease Breakers marched into their 17th straight WNCL Final with
a massive 110 run victory over Western Australia.
As she had done at the start of the season, Alex Blackwell
tormented the Fury bowlers by smashing 135 not out off 110 balls, with 13 fours
and one six. It was her eighth WNCL century, moving her into outright second on
the list of most tons scored in the history of the competition.
The Lend Lease Breakers went on to post 5-331 from their 50 overs, with Leah
Poulton (52 off 57) and Alyssa Healy (51 off 54) making half-centuries, while
Rachael Haynes (25 off 29) and Lisa Sthalekar (38 off 42) played important hands.
Western Australia suffered a disastrous start to their chase when Ellyse Perry
removed their leading run scorer, Nicole Bolton, for a duck. However, their
remaining batters fought hard to complete the innings and finish on 8-221.
Former NSW player, Jenny Wallace, stood firm against her former teammates
to make 96, while several others made starts.
As they had done all season, the NSW bowlers shared the spoils with Perry
(2-25), Sarah Coyte (1-35), Sarah Aley (2-38), Angela Reakes (2-30) and Nicola
Carey (1-22) taking wickets. It was an all-round team effort which ensured
everyone would be firing for the Final in two days’ time.

2012/13 Women’s National Cricket League
Final: Lend Lease Breakers vs Queensland Fire – Sydney Cricket Ground, 13 January 2013
The Lend Lease Breakers defeated Queensland by 15 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis Method to record their eighth consecutive WNCL title and their
15th in 17 seasons.
Both these teams entered the Final on the back of convincing Semi Final victories, with NSW accounting for Western Australia and Queensland
knocking out Victoria.
Winning the toss, Alex Blackwell elected to bowl first. She was keen to let her bowlers use up any life in the pitch while remaining confident that
her International strength batting line-up could chase down any target Queensland could set them.
Queensland made a steady start, reaching 1-58, before a couple of quick wickets gave the home side the upper hand. However, Queensland and
Australian captain Jodie Fields was determined to cause an upset, going on to become just the second player, after Rachael Haynes, to score a
century in a WNCL Final. She finished unbeaten on 102.
Fields also found some willing allies along the way, forging crucial partnerships with Delissa Kimmince (16 off 39), Jude Coleman (24 off 34) and
Jemma Barsby (27 off 29), to get the Fire to a competitive 7-232 at the end of their 50 overs.
The Lend Lease Breakers lost Leah Poulton early, but Rachael Haynes and Alex Blackwell soon had them heading in the right direction. Haynes, was
eventually dismissed for 36 off 33 balls with the score on 72, then Sthalekar holed out for just one run in what would be the retiring star’s last knock
on the SCG.
With storm clouds forming overhead, the Lend Lease Breakers now had to keep one eye on the Duckworth-Lewis Par score with the knowledge that
the game might be destined for a premature end. It was here that the big match experience of the NSW girls came to the fore, with Blackwell and
Alyssa Healy giving their side a comfortable buffer.
Even when Healy fell for 22, the Lend Lease Breakers were still able to stay far enough ahead of the Par score to ensure victory. Alex Blackwell was
42 not out when the rain came. It was another superb knock from the skipper in difficult circumstances, and a wonderful reflection of her match
winning ability.
At 5pm Alex Blackwell and Jodie Fields walked out on to a sodden SCG to greet the umpires. A simple hand shake between the captains was all
the Lend Lease Breakers needed to confirm what had become apparent when the rain arrived earlier.
The match was over. They were champions.

19 October 2012
21 October 2012
It had been two weeks since Australia won the World T20 in Sri Lanka.
With nine NSW players part of that squad, the Lend Lease Breakers
were able to hit the ground running as they went in search of the one
trophy missing from their impressive collection.
The Lend Lease Breakers completed their opening weekend of matches
with a straight forward eight wicket win over the ACT.
In their first match under new Head Coach, Joanne Broadbent, NSW
scored 4-166 from their 20 overs with Alyssa Healy (55 off 36) and Alex
Blackwell (58no off 31) the dominant figures. Healy helped set the tone
for the innings, sharing in an 81 run opening stand with Leah Poulton
(29 off 40), while Blackwell ensured a big finish by striking seven fours
and two sixes in her short stay at the crease.
After playing only one match in the 2011/12 season, veteran Sarah Aley
celebrated her return to the State side with a brilliant 4-13 from four
overs, while off-spinner Erin Osborne produced the remarkable figures
of 1-3 from her four over spell with the new ball.
In the field, the Lend Lease Breakers bowlers consistently hit their
marks while receiving excellent support from a well drilled fielding unit.
As a result, the ACT struggled to keep the scoreboard ticking over and
in the end fell well short of the victory target.
Bowling first, NSW produced an outstanding effort in the field to restrict
their rivals to 9-76.
The Lend Lease Breakers top order easily knocked off the runs required
for victory in just 13.2 overs. Leah Poulton (40 off 46) top scored, with
Alyssa Healy (16 off 19), Angela Reakes (14 off 14) and Lisa Sthalekar
(4 off 1) the other batters used.
Two of their key batters, Asha Smith (0 off 3) and Kris Britt (6 off 6),
were both dismissed cheaply with only Laura Wright (19 off 21), Sara
Hungerford (22 off 24) and Rhiannon Dick (19 off 24) making starts.
After starring for Australia in the World T20, Lisa Sthalekar (2-21) and
Ellyse Perry (2-11) did an excellent job for the Lend Lease Breakers with
the new ball, with Erin Osborne (1-14), Angela Reakes (1-14) and Nic
Carey (1-12) the other wicket takers.

Round 3: Queensland Fire vs Lend Lease Breakers

Round 4: Queensland Fire vs Lend Lease Breakers
Allan Border Field,
28 October 2012
This match was a homecoming of sorts for Lend Lease Breakers Head
Coach, Joanne Broadbent, who had also coached the Queensland Fire
for a number of years.
The Lend Lease Breakers recorded their fourth win of the
competition by defeating Queensland by seven wickets.
Batting first, the Lend Lease Breakers scored 5-150 from their 20 overs
thanks mainly to a 95 run second wicket stand between Alyssa Healy
and Alex Blackwell. Healy struck nine fours and a six on her way
to 62 runs off 45 balls, while Blackwell made 56 off 45 balls with
eight boundaries.
Following on from their efforts two days earlier, Mel Bulow
(34 off 29) and Jodie Fields (43 off 45) were the mainstays
of the innings, combining for a 49 run second wicket stand.
Jess Jonassen (22 off 11) launched an early assault that saw
Queensland race to 27 runs from just 2.3 overs. Erin Osborne then
claimed her wicket before Mel Bulow (19 off 16) and Jodie Fields
(14 off 21) took the score past 50.
Queensland batted first and posted 8-117 off their 20 overs.
Lisa Sthalekar led the way with the ball for NSW, snaring
4-25 from four overs, while Ellyse Perry took 2-20. Sarah Aley
(1-11) and Angela Reakes (1-29) were the other wicket takers.
Leah Poulton then ensured a comfortable victory with 45 runs
off 36 deliveries at the top of the order, while Alex Blackwell
continued her outstanding form with an unbeaten 36 off 31 balls
with the target reached in the 15th over.
Sharon Millanta finally secured Bulow’s scalp, with Rachael Haynes
accepting her second catch of the innings, followed by Jodie Fields
being run out by Sarah Coyte with only three more runs added to
the score.
From here the Lend Lease Breakers took control with the next five
wickets falling for 27 runs.
The task was too great for the remaining batters and Queensland were
bowled out for 116. Erin Osborne (2-19), Sarah Coyte (2-24) and Sarah
Aley (2-9) were the multiple wicket takers with Coyte, Aley and Haynes
also contributing to run outs.

2012/13 Women’s T20
23 November 2012
25 November 2012
Though the final margin of 25 runs may suggest otherwise, this win
by the Lend Lease Breakers was closer than they would have liked
after a below par performance with the bat.
The Lend Lease Breakers registered a convincing victory over the
Western Fury in the second of their WT20 matches, winning by nine
wickets after restricting their opponents to fewer than 100 runs in the
first innings.
Sent in, the home side only posted 5-114. Leah Poulton (25 off 23) and
Lisa Sthalekar (23 off 27) were the shining lights as the majority of the
top five failed to fire. In the end it was left to Alex Blackwell (29no off
21), batting at number six, to get her side to three figures.
The Fury put 25 runs on the board comfortably before losing their first
wicket, with Sharon Millanta clean bowling the dangerous Nicole
Bolton (7 off 12). Two overs later, Millanta had her second after Chloe
Piparo was caught by Claire Koski for a duck to give the Lend Lease
Breakers a sniff.
That was all the incentive they needed as wickets began to fall
regularly, with off-spinners Lisa Sthalekar (2-11) and Erin Osborne
(1-16) accounting for the next three batters.
At 5-81 it was still anyone’s game, however, the Lend Lease Breakers
were quick to go for the jugular, taking the last five wickets for just
eight runs. The final wicket fell three balls into the 19th over, with
Alyssa Healy stumping Gemma Triscari from the bowling of Sarah Aley.
Western Australia made just 7-96 from their 20 overs. Sharon Millanta
(2-14) struck early, while Osborne secured the important scalp of
Nicole Bolton (10 off 18). Angela Reakes (2-22), Lisa Sthalekar (1-15)
and Nicola Carey (1-19) picked up the middle order wickets as the Fury
struggled to get the run rate above five runs an over.
Leah Poulton starred with the bat for NSW. She hit 52 runs off just 32
balls, including seven fours and a six. Alyssa Healy (16 off 15) was the
only player to be dismissed with Nicola Carey finishing unbeaten on 31
off 26 balls after being promoted to number three in the batting order.
The winning runs were achieved one ball into the 13th over, allowing
the Lend Lease Breakers to further extend their lead at the top of the
WT20 ladder with six wins from as many starts.
It capped off an outstanding afternoon in the field for Healy who
finished with five dismissals, made up of three catches, a run out
and the stumping.

Round 8: Lend Lease Breakers vs Tasmania Roar
9 December 2012
The Lend Lease Breakers staved off a spirited challenge by Tasmania
to win by eight wickets at Blacktown International Sportspark.
The Lend Lease Breakers’ second T20 victory over Tasmania in as many
days was set up by a ruthless performance in the field.
Winning the toss, Tasmania elected to bat first and were rewarded by
an 89 run first wicket stand between Emma Thompson (45 off 48) and
Carly Ryan (51 off 58). Erin Burns (21 off 12) then played a useful cameo
in the final overs to get her team to 4-127 at the end of their 20 overs.
Winning the toss and electing to bat, the Roar were quickly reduced to
4-25 inside six overs as veteran fast bowler, Sharon Millanta, claimed
the outstanding figures of 4-11 from four overs. The remaining wickets
went to the spinners with Lisa Sthalekar (1-12), Erin Osborne (2-13)
and Angela Reakes (2-12) sharing the spoils. Rachael Haynes was also
heavily involved, taking three catches, with Alyssa Healy securing three
dismissals behind the stumps.
NSW off-spinner Erin Osborne again impressed with the new ball,
conceding just 18 runs from her four overs, while Lisa Sthalekar also
finished with 0-18 from her four over spell. Sarah Coyte (2-28) and
Nicola Carey (1-17) were the only wicket takers, while Rachael Haynes
added another run out to her season tally.
It was a professional and calculated run chase by the Lend Lease
Breakers batters. While there were no spectacular fireworks, the
experience of Leah Poulton (22 off 20), Alyssa Healy (53no off 49), Alex
Blackwell (33 off 29) and Lisa Sthalekar (11 off 9) ensured that victory
was never in doubt, with the winning runs scored in the 18th over.

The Lend Lease Breakers re-assembled for the first time in over
two weeks at Sydney Airport prior to flying to Adelaide for their
weekend matches against South Australia. It had been a busy few
weeks with the majority of the squad involved in Australia’s series
against New Zealand.
The Lend Lease Breakers defeated South Australia by 11 runs in a
match that was played as a curtain raiser to a KFC T20 Big Bash League
fixture between the Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers. Batting
first, NSW posted 8-135 from their 20 overs. There were a couple
of rare failures from Alyssa Healy (0 off 3) and Alex Blackwell (3 off
11), however, the contributions from Leah Poulton (31 off 29) and Lisa
Sthalekar (50 off 34) helped get the team to a defendable total.
That afternoon, they played the Scorpions in the first of two T20 fixtures
where a dynamic performance in the field made up for a sub-par
performance with the bat.
After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, NSW only posted 6-128
from their 20 overs. Alyssa Healy (56 off 50) was the only batter to
make a significant contribution, with just three other batters reaching
double figures.
South Australia’s chase was a disaster with their top four batters all
falling to run outs inside the first five overs. Sarah Coyte then ripped
through the middle order, finishing with 3-7 off four overs.
Erin Osborne was miserly, going for just three runs from her three overs
and picking up a wicket.
South Australia were eventually bowled out for just 51 in 17.3 overs,
giving the Lend Lease Breakers victory by 77 runs.

It was a brilliant performance by the veteran Sthalekar. After a tiring
couple of weeks with the Australian team, she had been rested from
the first T20 clash with South Australia two days early. The short break
appeared to have done her a world of good as she struck five fours and
a six in a crucial innings. In reply, South Australia made 8-124 to fall
just short. Australian allrounder, Lauren Ebsary, played a lone hand to
get her side so close, scoring 74 off 61 deliveries with only one other
batter reaching double figures.
For NSW, Sarah Coyte continued her outstanding weekend with the
ball, snaring 3-24 off four overs, with Angela Reakes (1-30), Sharon
Millanta (1-15), Sarah Aley (1-21) and Lisa Sthalekar (1-17) the other
wicket takers.
Still undefeated, the Lend Lease Breakers could enjoy their Christmas
break knowing that with two matches remaining, their place in the
WT20 Final was now secure.

Junction Oval, St Kilda,

Melbourne Cricket Ground,
6 January 2013
The Lend Lease Breakers dealt a massive blow to Victoria’s hopes
of defending their WT20 title with a 27 run victory.
The Lend Lease Breakers and Vic Spirit met in the last match of the
preliminary rounds. Played as a double header with the Big Bash
League, this game started at 3pm and earlier that day Western
Australia had beaten the ACT to jump into second place. It meant a
simple equation for the Vic Spirit. Win and they would defend their title
in two weeks’ time. Losing would guarantee an end to their three year
WT20 winning streak.
NSW made 7-149 from their 20 overs with Alex Blackwell in
scintillating touch, top scoring with 51 runs off 44 balls. She received
terrific support from Leah Poulton (29 off 25) and Lisa Sthalekar
(16 off 15), combining with both for partnerships worth 58 runs
and 41 runs respectively.
Again taking the new ball, Sthalekar made an early breakthrough by
trapping Elyse Villani (4 off 4) lbw and 10 runs later, Sharon Millanta
removed Meg Lanning (13 off 11). Angela Reakes then struck a double
blow by removing Emma Inglis (10 off 19) and Jess Cameron (12 off 13)
in quick succession to put her side well and truly on top.
Despite Kelly Applebee (21 off 28) forming a resistance movement
with Emily McIntyre (11 off 13) and Kristy Lamb (29no off 17), the Lend
Lease Breakers were still able to keep their rival’s scoring in check and
Victoria gradually fell further and further behind the required run rate.
Victoria batted out the overs, finishing at 9-122. There were no real
standouts amongst the NSW bowlers with the whole team contributing.
Lisa Sthalekar (2-20), Sarah Coyte (2-30), Angela Reakes (2-5), Sharon
Millanta (1-20) and Nicola Carey (1-20) all claimed wickets.
Victoria’s chase needed to start well, however, their top three of Meg
Lanning, Elyse Villani and Jess Cameron were all dismissed before the
score had passed 30. From here the Lend Lease Breakers tightened the
screws to hold the Spirit to 9-123.
After 12 rounds the Lend Lease Breakers were still to drop a match in
this competition and now they were just one win away from lifting the
elusive trophy.

VI C TOR I A v N E W S OUT H WAL E S
At Junction Oval, St Kilda,
4 January, 2013
It was enough incentive for the home team to put in a big performance,
however, the prospect of knocking their arch rivals out of the
competition was just as motivating for the Lend Lease Breakers. It was
almost the perfect game by the women in sky blue. Alex Blackwell had
no hesitation in batting first after winning the toss and in 20 overs they
piled on 6-173. The onslaught was unrelenting with Leah Poulton
(25 off 18), Blackwell (43 off 35), Lisa Sthalekar (17 off 9), Rachael
Haynes (37 off 25) and Sarah Coyte (26no off 19) all scoring freely.

2012/13 Womens’ T20
WT20 Final: Lend Lease Breakers vs Western Fury
The WACA Ground, Perth, 19 January 2013
The Lend Lease Breakers travelled to Perth desperate to claim their first WT20 title in four attempts. They had been the dominant team in the
country, winning all of their round games, while just six days earlier they had won their eighth straight WNCL crown.
The Final was being played as a curtain raiser to the KFC T20 Big Bash League Final but as the higher ranked team, the Lend Lease Breakers had
the ‘home ground advantage’ and Alex Blackwell found herself tossing the coin despite standing in the middle of The WACA.
Batting first in front of a healthy crowd, Western Australia made a great start with Suzie Bates and Jenny Wallace putting on 42 runs in six overs.
Sarah Coyte made the first breakthrough by removing Wallace for 21, however, Bates and Bolton kept the momentum going with a 66 run
second wicket stand.
Despite the lack of wickets, the NSW bowlers did a terrific job in keeping Western Australia’s run rate in check and following Bolton’s dismissal
in the 16th over, the Breakers were able to hold their opponents to 5-126.
In reply, the Lend Lease Breakers made the most of their power play by striking 42 runs in five overs before losing their first wicket, Alyssa Healy
(20 off 16). Poulton was the next to go, but not before posting 41 off 31 deliveries, which also made her the first player to score 1500 runs in
Australian domestic T20 cricket.
At 2-106 in the 15th over, the Lend Lease Breakers were cruising to victory. The loss of three quick wickets slowed them down, but while Alex
Blackwell remained at the crease, it was only delaying the inevitable. The skipper had led from the front all year and two balls into the final over,
she smashed a ball from Bates straight back past the bowler and to the boundary to confirm the win.
Blackwell was named Player of the Final for her 40 not out from 38 balls and she also had the honour of finally raising the WT20 Trophy on behalf
of her team. This victory gave NSW a little slice of history too, becoming the first team to win both the WT20 and WNCL in the same season.

Futures League / NSW Second XI
The NSW Futures League and Second XI
teams took part in another busy and very
productive program of matches in 2012/13.
The Futures League schedule again comprised
four Four Day matches and in a very evenly
matched competition, NSW were crowned
champions after securing comprehensive
outright victories over Victoria and the ACT.
In addition to these fixtures, two further
Second XI matches were played in October
against Western Australia and Victoria to
provide some “red ball” cricket whilst the
bulk of the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues squad
were taking part in the Sydney Sixers’
successful Champions League T20 campaign.
Once again, the compressed domestic
schedule and National representation allowed
for 28 players to take part in Futures League
or Second XI matches during the season.
As in previous years, these matches were
instrumental in the rise of some of our best
young talent, with Gurinder Sandhu, Adam
Zampa and Daniel Hughes all making their
First Class debuts.

Round 1: South Australia 338 (A Zampa

U/19 Male Program
The Program commenced in March 2012 with
the selection of a Development squad, with the
Strength and Conditioning component of the
training commencing in May. This was followed
by skill sessions starting in June. This skill
development period featured a particular focus
on building a base, with players put through a
number of intensive drills.
The final NSW squad was selected following
a number of matches, including the U/19 State
Challenge which featured four Regional teams
and two City sides, and two City vs Country
matches.
The team trained during December, which
included a two day intensive training camp
at Blacktown International Sportspark, with
former NSW and Australian batsman, Michael
Bevan, assisting throughout the Championship
preparation phase.
The National Championships were successful
from a player development and learning
perspective. From a team perspective the result
on the points table was not great although we
still won three matches and lost only two.
Amongst the highlights were centuries to Jake
Doran and Damien Mortimer, and five wickets
in a match to Harrison Kelly (5-43). Damien
Mortimer was also named in Merit Team of
the Tournament.
This was a young squad and we look forward
to seeing what we can achieve next summer
with seven players still eligible to play in this
age group in 2013/14.
Finally, thank you to all support staff and the
NSW Cricket Board for the continued support
of the U/19 Program.

NSW U/18 Female Program
The U/18 National Championships were
held in Ballarat from 16 – 22 January 2013.
This was a largely inexperienced team with
only four players returning from last season,
while the remainder of the squad were
graduates of the U/15 Program who were yet
to win a National title. This fact made it more
important than ever that our senior players
stood up to be counted.
Despite losing their first match against
Victoria, the team was able to bounce back
and improve their performances in each round.
Even though on paper our batting wasn’t as
strong as it has been in recent years, our top
order certainly turned it on in the Final where
we avenged our first round loss to the Vics in
fine style.
This was NSW’s ninth consecutive U/18
National Championship, and a real credit
to the support staff that looked after these
players for over nine months.

NSW U/17 Male Program
Championships, while Riley Ayre, Daniel
Fallins and Jake Doran were chosen to attend
the Cricket Australia U/18 Talent Camp.
It was a successful tournament with many
players performing well with bat and ball. The
Championships consisted of two Limited Overs
matches and three Two Day games, with the
loss of the two T20 fixtures meaning that not
all States played one another.
The squad was a tremendous group of young
men, and all should be proud of the efforts
that they gave not only during the carnival,
but throughout the Program.
The road to the National titles began with
trials in March 2012 where we named a
Development Squad for pre-season training.
The squad was chosen following a net session
and two trial games involving players from the
combined AW Green Shield teams and Country
Boys Coaching Class teams. Strength and
Conditioning commenced in May with skills
training starting in June.
The final selection trial comprised two
Limited Over City vs Country matches at
Bradman Oval, which allowed selectors to
have a closer look at players.
NSW won four out of their five matches at the
Championships, with the only loss coming against
Victoria in the first of our Two Day matches.
There were many outstanding individual
performances with Riley Ayre and
Thomas Jagot named in the Team of the

they annihilated Victoria, wrapping up the
match before lunch.

Captained by Illawarra’s Graeme Batty, a solid
all-round effort by the team was a feature of
the “Bush Blues” performances in Bundaberg,
with all players stepping up to the mark when
the side was under pressure. As such, this
team was never beaten, even when faced with
challenging circumstances, and the pride in
the NSW Baggy Blue cap was always evident.
Newcastle’s Josh Bennett was the
outstanding player for the side, taking 22
wickets to win the Bill O’Reilly Shield for the
most wickets in the Championships. Josh
managed three five wicket hauls, including a
best return of 7-86. The experienced Andrew

2013 Imparja Cup
Over the last three seasons, Cricket NSW
has continued to lift the profile of the Imparja
Cup and the NSW Indigenous teams and as
a result, we are finding more players eager
to represent their State at this prestigious
tournament. Our sides now boast many
players from the Sydney men’s and women’s
Grade competitions, as well as players from
Cricket NSW Academy Development squads
and regional country representatives.
On the field, NSW dominated. Jeff Cook and
Harrison Kelly were outstanding for the men’s
team, making several important contributions
as the team headed into the Final undefeated.
On the women’s side of the draw, Julie Muir,
Roxsanne Van Veen and Ashleigh Gardner also
produced some terrific individual performances.
Both these teams have bright futures with five
men and seven women all under 21.
Many thanks to the support staff for their
assistance during the week. Managers Peter
Cooley and Kathy Barber made the job of
the coaches a little easier while our physio,
Tim Croft, did a terrific job in keeping both
teams on the park in the hot conditions.
Coaches Michael Maclennan and Darren
Beckett provided our teams with the same
professional attention received by all NSW
representative sides.

comprised 20 clubs, with 16 rounds scheduled

2012/13 season’s T20 Cup competition,
consisting of three preliminary round matches,
was a stand-alone competition that did not
count towards the First Grade competition.

Our strategic goal is to be the “number one
producer of talent in Australian cricket”.
Cricket NSW certainly met this target in
2012/13 with in excess of 30% of Australian
caps awarded across both the men’s and
women’s teams, going to players either
currently representing NSW or products
of the NSW Development Pathway.
Chandika Hathurusinghe, who was the interim
coach for the post-BBL period, improved
performance and consistency and got the
best from the team.
O’Keefe and Coach Chandika Hathurusinghe,
for a 16 day spin bowling camp. I am pleased
to report that this initiative will continue for
the next three years.
Trent Copeland, Gurinder Sandhu, Brad Haddin
and Moises Henriques produced great individual
performances throughout the season, while Nic
Maddinson finished strongly with the bat.
The Lend Lease Breakers continue to
excel, winning both the WNCL and WT20
competitions for the first time, with their
WNCL record now standing at
a sensational eight consecutive crowns.
Gurinder capped off a fantastic debut season
by winning the Steve Waugh Medal and the
Ryobi Cup Player of with Year Awards, with
Trent Copeland voted Sheffield Shield Player
of the Year.
The Grade Club Advisory Panel continued in
2012/13 with John Benaud, Bill Anderson
and Anthony Clark joined by Evan Atkin and
Greg Davidson to provide feedback to the
NSW Selection Panel on performances in the
Sydney Grade competition. Greg Mail was a
member of this Advisory Panel in 2011/12,
but served as a State Selector in 2012/13.
Under new coach, Joanne Broadbent, the
Lend Lease Breakers continued to improve
with captain Alex Blackwell a standout with
inspirational leadership and dominating with
the bat. She was certainly a deserving winner
of the Belinda Clark Medal as the Lend Lease
Breakers Player of the Year and the WNCL
Player of the Year award.
The Gujarat NRE Youth Programs continued to
identify metropolitan and regional players and
provide them with development opportunities.
Alyssa Healy’s fine form earned her the WT20
Player of the Year trophy with Lisa Sthalekar,
in what has turned out to be her final season,
again showing some of the great skills which
made her one of the greatest female cricketers
of all time.
With a blend of talented youth and experience,
the Lend Lease Breakers continue to be the
benchmark for women’s cricket in Australia.
This standard extends to all levels of the
women’s game in this State, with NSW teams
winning all five Cricket Australia National
Championships contested in 2012/13!
The NSW SpeedBlitz Blues again showed
glimpses of promise and after an inspiring
second half of the competition, fell an
agonising one point short of reaching the
Bupa Sheffield Shield Final.
The NSW Youth teams had varying success,
the highlight of which was victories for the
NSW U/18 and U/15 female teams while
the U/19 male team placed fifth and the
U/17s second at their respective National
Championships.
From these Programs, Amy Edgar, Jenny Taffs,
Tess Noble, Stefanie Daffara, Taryn Heddo,
Ashleigh Gardner, Soumil Chibber, Jeremy
Maher, Damien Mortimer, Daniel Fallins, Riley
Ayre and Jake Doran were selected to attend
Cricket Australia’s U/18 Talent Camps.
Jake Doran, Damien Mortimer, Riley Ayre and
Jeremy Maher were also named in Australian
U/19 teams during the season as part of
preparations for next summer’s U/19 World
Cup in Dubai.
The Basil Sellers Scholarship Program
continued with nine young players benefitting
from Basil’s support. As part of this Program,
young spin bowlers Shane Cassel, Soumil
Chibber and Daniel Fallins were able to travel
to Sri Lanka, along with mentor Stephen
The Sydney Grade Club Coach Support
Program assisted the Grade clubs in specialist
coaching areas. Cricket NSW staff attended
50 training sessions, providing a valuable
resource for clubs to complement their
existing coaching structure.
The NSW AIME Indigenous teams were, as
always, impressive at the 2013 Imparja Cup in
Alice Springs. The men’s team unfortunately
lost their Final while shooting for their third
consecutive crown, while the women’s team
won their division for the sixth season in a row.
This success meant that NSW teams won six
of the 12 National competitions contested
during 2012/13.
Finally, I wish to express my thanks to the State
Cricket Department staff, part-time support
staff and officials for their much valued efforts
throughout the season. I would like to thank our
selectors and part-time coaches of all teams for
their commitment and passion.
I would especially like to thank Basil Sellers
for his amazing support of NSW cricket and
its players, and his ongoing interest in our
performance.
David Thompson
General Manager – State Cricket
Cricket NSW Academy
Now in its second season, the Academy was
launched in 2011/12 as a replacement for the
Emerging Blues and Emerging Breakers. It
aims to offer a clear and consistent program
that is always preparing players for the next
challenge in their career.
The Academy’s Male Programs operate in
the U/13 – U/19 age groups, with the Female
Programs catering to the U/13 and U/18
age groups. The Academy also works with
selected players to continue their development
after graduating from underage squads.
Male Programs
This season’s City Program consisted of two
squads for the U/13s and U/14s, with one
squad for the U/15s and U/16s. Each squad
consisted of 24 players with sessions held at
the Gujarat NRE Indoor Centre at the SCG, and
Blacktown International Sportspark (BISP).
In regional NSW the Programs were run
at the Zone and Council levels.
The Male Programs consisted of six pre-season
sessions, held on Sundays starting in late July,
followed by intra-squad games and matches
against regional teams. We also introduced
two training sessions and another game after
the Christmas School Holidays following the
conclusion of the DCA representative season and
AW Green Shield competition. This provided the
opportunity for coaches to see how the young
players had developed through the season.
for camps held in April and September.
The 2012/13 TAP Camps included Country U/17
and U/19 players. This initiative continues to be
an outstanding success, providing 36 regional
athletes exposure to the quality training
facilities and methodologies that provide them
with further opportunities to push selection
claims for State U/17 and U/19 teams.
Our second camp focused on 36 players
from our two City U/13 Squads, with players
undertaking specialist skills coaching,
video assessment, fitness testing and team
building activities. Interactive lectures were
held covering topics such as, education and
its importance for young athletes, injury
prevention, alcohol and drugs in sport, nutrition,
psychology and social networking etiquette.
The Sydney Academy of Sport was also
instrumental in providing a synthetic wicket
to expose the U/13 players to more game
based training.
Our thanks go to our specialist coaches,
with special mention to Mark McInnes for
coordinating the U/13 Camp. Cricket NSW
would once again like to thank the staff
of the Sydney Academy of Sport for their
continued support.
Female Programs
The Cricket NSW Academy Female Programs
comprised 10 Programs across the State, with
six based regionally and four in metropolitan
areas. Regional Programs cater for players
aged between 12 and 18 years, with
metropolitan squads incorporating the U/13,
U/14, U/15 and U/16 age groups.
This is very specialised Program. Each session
has a very specific focus for player development
in both a technical and tactical aspect. It is at
these early learning stages where Cricket NSW
really aims to build the base required by many
players to progress to higher honours.
The squad coaches during the 2012/13
Cricket NSW Academy program were;
Talented Athlete Program
U/15: Jason Lawless (Head Coach),
Michelle Goszko (Assistant Coach)
The Talented Athlete Program (TAP) again
played a significant role in the Cricket NSW
Academy Programs. BISP and the Sydney
Academy of Sport provided excellent facilities
U/13: Kate Owen (Head Coach),
Matt Morgan (Assistant Coach)
U/14: Michelle Goszko (Head Coach),
Sam Greentree (Assistant Coach)
U/16: Mechelle Hare (Head Coach),
James Turner (Assistant Coach)
Central North: John Rixon (Head Coach),
Luke Knight (Assistant Coach)
North Coast: Troy McKerinan (Head Coach),
Michael Wood (Assistant Coach)
Western: Carolyn Sheehan (Head Coach),
Greg Griffith (Assistant Coach)
South Coast: Stephen Davies (Head Coach),
Andrew Hick (Assistant Coach)
Newcastle/Central Coast: Sue Allen
(Head Coach), Steve Taylor (Assistant Coach)
Riverina: Steven Weckert (Head Coach),
Phil Jenkins (Assistant Coach)
Specialist coaches included Jonathan Freeston
(Throwing), Ben Sawyer (Fast Bowling), Leonie
Coleman (Wicketkeeping), Hamish Solomons
(U/18 Head Coach), Sarah Aley (U/18 Assistant
Coach), Lisa Sthalekar (U/15 Head Coach) and
Richard Lynch (Strength and Conditioning).
Each Program covered a number of areas,
including skill development, strength and
conditioning, and tactics. All Female Programs
ran from June to September to give players a
chance to work on their game prior to State
selection and the club season.
A new initiative this year was to create
a Coaches’ Manual in conjunction with
Specialist Coaches and the State Cricket
Department. This manual enabled coaches
to understand the type of drills and intensity
that we are looking for in the Cricket NSW
Academy Program.
All players within the Cricket NSW Academy
were also entered into Cricket Australia’s
Athlete Management System, allowing
coaches to compile a file on players which
included coach’s notes, fitness results and
match performances.
The other advantage of using this software
is that different coaches involved in the
players’ development are able to get a better
understanding of the areas the player has
been working on.
Finally, thank you to all of the coaches who
gave up their weekends and weeknights
to support the Cricket NSW Academy.
Without their efforts, Cricket NSW’s
Female Programs would not have had
such a successful 2012/13 season.
The Cricket NSW Academy is a State wide
program responsible for the identification
and development of talented male and
female cricketers.

The Basil Sellers Scholarship Program
Since its inception, seven recipients have
progressed through the ranks to play Test
cricket for Australia and receive their Baggy
Greens. They are Phillip Hughes, Steven
Smith, Mitchell Starc, Usman Khawaja, Patrick
Cummins, Alyssa Healy and Ellyse Perry.
2012/13 Highlights
The Basil Sellers Scholarship Program was
established in 2006. Presented to male and
female cricketers aged between 16 and 19,
the aims of the scholarship are to:
•
facilitate the development of young
talented cricketers
•
support a cricketer’s move from regional
to city life, if necessary
•
assist the cricketer with education,
training, employment and social skills
•
Retain in cricket talented young sports
people who have considerable ability
in multiple sports.
•

THE BASIL SELLERS COMBINED COUNTRY BOYS COACHING CLASS
The Country Boys’ Coaching Class (CBCC)
is the oldest development program within
Cricket NSW, and one that is held in very
high regard by all involved. Players were
selected for the Class based on their
performances at the U/16 Bradman Cup.
86
This year’s CBCC was conducted in April
2012. Emphasis was placed on providing
country athletes with feedback on areas
of their game that can be worked on during
the off-season. Each player was videoed
and provided a written and verbal report.
Videos were also provided for each player
to share with their coaches.
Continuing a tradition, games were played
against the two AW Green Shield merit
teams, which also served as a selection
trial for the 2012/13 Cricket NSW
Academy squad.
The following players were selected
to attend the CBCC.

NSW Women’s Cricket Committee
The NSW Women’s Cricket Committee again
fulfilled its brief to provide advice to the Board
in relation to the conduct, organisation, and
management of the game of cricket for women
in NSW. This was achieved with valuable
input from members who bring experience
from all levels, and areas of the game.
In 2012/13 the Committee set out to broaden
the expertise demonstrated by its members, to
more widely represent the Female cricketing
community in NSW, with two new members
joining our ranks.
Ms Joanne Broadbent and Mrs Kate Howitt bring
with them experience in Elite Cricket/Coaching
and School Cricket respectively, and join myself,
Mrs Marie Cornish, Ms Jessica Henry, and Mr
Robert Smith with our background in Country
Cricket, and Grade Cricket.
As Chair, I aimed to reinvigorate this new
Committee with my passion for the game, and
was able to stimulate invaluable and varied
discussion on all aspects of female cricket in
NSW. I also continued to attend meetings of the
Cricket NSW Female Cricket Management Group
to be a voice for the Committee, and to improve
communication between the groups, and initiate
discussion of issues at management level.
NSW players again made up the majority of
the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars side
which performed so impressively in bringing
home two World titles! Nine Lend Lease
Breakers were a part of the World T20 victory
at the start of the summer, while seven players
travelled to India to help Australia win the
50 over World Cup at the end of the season.
The Shooting Stars home series against New
Zealand also featured two NSW players,
Nicola Carey and Sarah Coyte.
The Lend Lease Breakers continued to
dominate by winning their eighth consecutive
WNCL title, as well as their first WT20 trophy.
This extraordinary effort made them the first
team to win both competitions in the same
season. The WT20 was again televised live
on Fox Sports as a curtain raiser to the KFC
T20 Big Bash League Grand Final, which was
a great opportunity to promote the women’s
domestic competition.
The Lend Lease Breakers’ success at the
top no doubt assisted NSW with their clean
sweep of Cricket Australia’s Female National
Championships, with the U/15, U/18 and
Imparja Cup sides also victorious. It capped
off a very impressive season for NSW female
representative programs, and one we are
looking to repeat in 2013/14!
Congratulations to Belinda Clark Medallist
and WNCL Player of the Year, Alex Blackwell,
WT20 Player of the Year Alyssa Healy, and
to 2012 Country Women’s Player of the Year
Lily Bardsley for their outstanding seasons.
Congratulations also to Cricket NSW Rising
Star Nicola Carey, Alan McGilvray Memorial
Scholarship recipient Stefanie Daffara and
Basil Seller Scholarship recipients Ashley
James, Celeste Raack and Naomi Stalenberg.
The SCA Women’s Competition (Grade)
showcased a very competitive season in
2012/13 with approximately two wins
separating second and fifth place on the Club
Championship, while in First Grade only one
win separated fourth place (and a berth in the
Semi-Finals) and last place. The strength of
each club was demonstrated by having eight
of the nine clubs represented in Semi Finals
across the Grades, with seven of the nine
clubs represented in a Grand Final.
This competition is continuing to grow with
clubs becoming more stable, resulting in a
stronger and more competitive competition.
In Country Cricket, a very successful Open
Women’s Championships was held in
Wellington with four teams competing.
The Northern Stars (North Coastal/Central
Northern) and New Coasters (Newcastle/
Central Coast) contested a very close Final
which finished in a tie. The U/15 Country
Championships were held in Dubbo, with
Western defeating Southern Rivers (Illawarra/
South Coast/Riverina) in the Final.
The Women’s Committee are continuing to
strive for representation at the Country Cricket
of Management meetings following an initial
invitation to attend and contribute to meetings
in March and June 2012. Following the success
of the Female Country Cricket Forum in 2011/12,
the Women’s Committee determined it would
be ideal to host such a Forum every second year
to consider the Country Championships, and
relevant female issues facing Country NSW.
Of course, our gratitude goes to Cricket Australia
for making this important decision, recognising
the efforts of female cricketers across the
country and helping to make cricket a viable
career choice for girls, both on and off the field.
Our thanks also goes to Lisa Sthalekar, who
in her role as an Executive Member of the
Australian Cricketers Association, played a
pivotal role in opening up membership, and its
many benefits, to past NSW female players.
Lisa also announced her retirement from
all cricket at the end of the ICC World Cup.
On behalf of all members of the Committee,
I would like to congratulate Lisa on a fine
career with Gordon, Universities, NSW and
Australia. She leaves the game as one of its
legends and has played a major role in helping
grow the game on and off the field.
Finally, our thanks go to the NSW Cricket
Board, especially former Chairman Dr Harry
Harinath OAM and former Chief Executive
David Gilbert, and the incumbent Chairman
John Warn and Acting Chief Executive,
Michael Dalton. The support they provide
allows NSW to continue to lead the way for
women and girls in Australia cricket. We look
forward to another season of NSW dominance
on and off the field.
Rina Hore
Chair, NSW Women’s Cricket Committee
Looking forward, 2013/14 will be a landmark
year for women’s cricket following an
announcement that Cricket Australia would
significantly raise the level of the retainer
payments for members of the Australian
women’s team, as well as increasing tour
allowances. Importantly, additional funding
has been provided to all teams in the WNCL
which has resulted in an increase in the
retainer paid to State players.
Not only did this announcement help to ease
the financial burden previously suffered by
female players, but we are now all one step
closer to seeing female cricketers being able
to class themselves as professional athletes.
It is wonderful to see cricket leading the way
in this regard, while the progress is a tribute
to the work and sacrifice of the generations of
players and administrators who have helped
make women’s cricket what it is today.
The trophies won by NSW female teams in
2012/13.
2012/13 was a very successful season for
Female Cricket in NSW.

Lisa Sthalekar and Erin Osborne at the ICC World Cup.
NSW Districts Cricket Association
The match attracted a good crowd of parents
and other supporters which provided a fine
atmosphere for the match.
We see it as our role to provide Associations
with assistance in a number of areas including
guidance on constitutional matters, judiciary,
preparation of competition draws, Local
Government issues, sponsorship and purchasing
opportunities and preparation of grant proposals.
We receive support and considerable assistance
from the Cricket NSW Game Development
department in this area and we thank General
Manager, Cameron French, and his staff.
Administration
We continue to encourage Associations and
their Affiliated Clubs in the use of the My
Cricket website which does reduce the time
individuals need to commit to a volunteer
position. The coming season will see an all
out effort to influence officials to embrace this
technology by emphasising the benefits which
are available at no cost.
Our Inter Association Shield program continues
to attract good quality players resulting in a
high standard of competition. The Series is
well supported by our Associations and provide
the core of players who form the Cricket NSW
Academy squads. Of course, the various Grade
clubs take a close interest in the talent which
will become available at a later stage. It is
interesting to visit our website where the names
of International players who have progressed
from the Inter Association series are shown.
We also conducted a T20 Carnival in the
school holidays for U/13 players, the only
qualification being that the players must not
have played in the Shield competition. The
Carnival was conducted with the assistance
of Blacktown CDCA and and Doonside CC
who we thank. We are hopeful of attracting
additional entries in the coming season.
Our Girls Carnival, played for a week during
the January holidays, continues to attract
teams and the support of parents. The Carnival
saw three country teams participating and
was played at The Eric Mobbs complex at
Castle Hill where we can provide four adjacent
grounds to add to the atmosphere.
The City Country Challenge in the U/14 age
group was played at the Sydney Cricket
Ground as a T20 match between North Shore
JCA, Harold Moore Shield Premiers, and
Central Coast JCA, who won the NSW Country
Kookaburra Cup. The Central Coast team was
successful this season. Playing on the Sydney
Cricket Ground was a big occasion for all
players and we thank NSW Country Cricket
Association for their organisation of the day.
By arrangement, we are responsible for
nominating one umpire and that person was
Bruce Wood from Hornsby Kuringai Hills
DCUA. Bruce has been a strong supporter of
our various programs over a number of years
and fully deserved his appointment.
The following comprised the Committee
of Management .The Committee met on 9
occasions during 2012/13 and attendance
by members is shown in brackets.
Jeffery Evans (Chair) (9) Colin Booth (Deputy
Chair) (8) David Toose (Treasurer) (7), Vic

Appreciation
Thanks are extended to:
The NSW Cricket Board for their continued
support of the NSW Districts Cricket Association
and cricket at the level we administer.
The Sydney Cricket Association Committee
of Management for their support and
their recognition of the contribution our
Associations make.
All Local Government Authorities for their
assistance and support. Local Government
Authorities are almost the sole providers of
facilities, vital for cricket’s longevity, and their
ongoing support cannot be underestimated.
The Kingsgrove Sports Centre, in particular
Harry Solomons, for his continued and most
generous support of junior cricket in NSW.
The provision of gift vouchers to the player
of the year in junior Shield Competitions was
appreciated by all. The support provided to
various Associations does not go unnoticed.
Kookaburra Sport, in particular Leigh Watts,
Nathan Pilon, Noel Moig and Cameron Eve for
the provision of balls and sponsorship to the
Inter-Association competitions and their generous
financial assistance to local associations.
All Vice Presidents and Life Members, for their
assistance and support.
Cricket NSW Game Development for their
continued involvement with Associations and
administration of various cricket programs for
the benefit of our players.
Volunteers who ensure all boys and girls
and senior players have the opportunity to
participate throughout the season.
The NSW Districts Cricket Association continued
in the role of the affiliate body for Junior and
Senior Community cricket, with 34 Affiliated
Associations, including winter Senior and Junior
competitions, providing organised cricket for
in excess of 2,850 teams. The ages of players
range from U/7s to seniors, with players able to
participate irrespective of their ability due to the
grading of teams to best suit their standard.

ranging from a caution to three matches.
The Judiciary Committee found 18 persons
guilty of breaching the Code, and imposed
penalties ranging from a censure to a
suspension of 20 months, and included in four

Cricket Australia
Cricket Australia again demonstrated
its direct commitment to club cricket by
allocating $289,463 and $17,194 to Cricket
NSW for the development of Grade cricket,
and Women’s Grade cricket, respectively.
The Board distributed that grant among all
clubs, to facilitate projects such as ground
improvements and coaching programs.
BBM Award
The Committee again made a BBM award to
a promising young Grade cricketer, to play for
Formby CC in England’s Liverpool and District
League. Jay Lenton (North Sydney) enjoyed
a very successful 2012 winter with that club,
while Aaron Flaherty (Western Suburbs) gained
the 2013 award.
Functions
The SCA conducted separate Premiers’ Dinners
during April and May 2013 for the Grade, Shires
and Women’s Grade competitions. The three
functions were a fitting way in which to end a
very successful season, and to congratulate all
premiership teams and award winners.
Media
During the season, the SCA’s competitions
enjoyed regular media coverage, in particular
from metropolitan newspapers, suburban
newspapers, and the SCA’s websites. In
addition, the SCA’s Grade competition website
provided live ball-by-ball coverage of selected
preliminary rounds and finals series matches,
including the First Grade Final.
The SCA again offered the Phil Tresidder
Award, in memory of the late sports journalist,
Randwick CC member and NSWCA Life
Member. Entries were of a high standard,
emphasising the support that Grade cricket
receives from suburban print media. The
award-winners were as follows:
Best Season Coverage: Chris
Georgakopoulos (The Penrith Press)
Best Feature Article: Michael Carayannis (St
George and Sutherland Shire Leader)
U/16 State Challenge
Thanks are extended to the NSW Cricket
Umpires’ and Scorers’ Association
(NSWCUSA), which again appointed
accredited umpires to officiate in Grade
competition matches. The NSWCUSA also
assisted the Sydney Shires Cricket Umpires’
Association and the Sydney Women’s
Cricket Umpires’ Association to make similar
appointments.

Movember – Men’s Health
Awareness
The Sydney Cricket Association adopted the
Movember cause as its primary charity support
for the 2012/13 season. It gained strong support
from Grade and Shires clubs, with 108 individual
members forming themselves into teams,
growing moustaches and seeking donations.
At the end of the month almost $39,000 was
raised. Warringah CC was the leading club
overall with $9,432, while Todd O’Keefe
(Campbelltown-Camden CC) was the leading
individual, with a mammoth $4,400 in donations.

Game Development
The 2012/13 Game Development Department.
The primary aim of the Game Development
department is to “inspire the next generation
of players and fans”. Cricket NSW continues
to invest strongly in the future of the game,
delivering Programs in schools and the
community whilst building the capacity
of junior clubs.
A significant restructure in the Game
Development allowed for the introduction
of a Regional Cricket Manager for the
Central Coast and a unified approach
across all of NSW.
A further review of NSW, and the adoption
of new regions (and associated staff), will
continue as a priority for the department as
we build an increased staff footprint to
service Australia’s largest State.
Participation
Participation rose 4.9% in the 2012/13 season
to 243,217 participants. This growth can be
attributed to an increase in the introductory
Programs delivered by Cricket NSW staff, as
well as the inclusion of veterans in the census
for the first time. Whilst Cricket NSW staff are
seeing more children than ever, a key focus
must be to ensure a transition from
the Programs to junior clubs.
Outcomes from
Participation Programs
As well as introducing children to cricket, the
Game Development department is evolving its
Programs to provide four other clear outcomes;
•
Articulate a clear participation next step
(to junior clubs)
•
Build a database of contacts to continue
the engagement process
•
Create fans by connecting participants
with the BBL sides
•
Provide media with the opportunity to
change the perceptions of cricket
This clear blueprint will ensure more players,
more fans and more support for our cricketing
community.

The Australian Cricket Road Show was a key
activity that has shaped priorities for Game
Development in the past season. The feature
Road Show, held at Rooty Hill RSL, provided
an opportunity for Cricket NSW to engage
with key stakeholders to discuss challenges
facing the game.
Four key areas highlighted that will be
addressed in the 2013/14 season include
the following:

This season there were 189 separate days in
all census areas, resulting in over 28,000 girls
and boys participating.
MILO T20 Blast Schools Cup is a fun, fast-paced,
modified cricket format that encapsulates the
excitement associated with the KFC T20 Big Bash
League. It engages teams of girls and boys in a
minimum of four 40 minute games which provide
an inclusive, safe, equal participation opportunity
for every child.
A key aspect of the Program is linking club
registration periods with the majority of days
completed in Term Three ‘feeding’ into junior
club promotional activities.
On Ground Entertainment at the Vodafone
Sydney Test
This season the MILO in2CRICKET lunch break
entertainment included 706 children from 55
MILO in2CRICKET Centres across four days of
the Test Match. The feedback from the children
and the parents was incredibly positive with all
regions of NSW represented for the first time.
In excess of 110 centre volunteers got the chance
to accompany the children on the ground during
the lunch time break. This was a significant
reward for these hard working volunteers who
give up many hours to help coordinate the MILO
in2CRICKET Centres from all over the State.
Recognising and supporting our
Volunteer Network
Cricket NSW recognises the critical role
that volunteers play in supporting cricket
throughout the State. In recognition of this
contribution a number of events/activities
were delivered over the course of the year:
•
Delegates “Thank You” at the KFC T20
International on Australia Day
•
Female volunteers invited to the
McGrath Foundation High Tea
•
Volunteer Recognition Day on day four
of the Vodafone Sydney Test
Our inaugural State Volunteer of the Year
awards was held during the KFC T20 Big Bash
League match between the Sydney Sixers and
Melbourne Renegades on 9 January 2013.
Players from NSW Blues Squad visited 8 regional locations.
Our State winners were:
•
Volunteer of the Year – Michael Ross
(Camden District Cricket Association)
•
In2Cricket Coordinator of the Year
– Jenny Riseborough (North Sydney
in2Cricket)
•
School Ambassador of the Year –
Ian Reeves (Martin Gully Public School)
Through our Mosaic Cricket Program NSW will
be a vehicle for social cohesion and a source
of stable and enduring happiness. Cricket will
continue to lead the way in promoting healthy
lifestyles in a fun and enjoyable atmosphere.
Weet-Bix Cup
We would like to thank all volunteers for their
contribution to the game.
Weet-Bix continued their association with the
junior T20 competition, with a spike in interest
in the format following the second season of
the BBL.
Ensuring Cricket is a Sport for
All Australians
Some of the highlights from this season’s
competition where:
•
An increase in the number of teams
involved to 47%
•
Junior associations delivered the
preliminary rounds, with Cricket NSW
managing the Finals Series
•
For the first time, teams from regional
NSW were involved in the competition
•
Games were played under lights at
Blacktown International Sportspark
Multicultural (Mosaic) Cricket Program
Cricket NSW is proud of what our game can
offer to everyone. With this pride comes an
important understanding of our obligations
to ensure our game touches the lives of all
Australians. We are committed to delivering
on this. Our commitment stretches to
all sections of our society, including our
multicultural communities.
In fact, with over 30% of people in NSW
born overseas, Cricket NSW recognises that
one area where we can make the greatest
difference is to engage the cultural mosaic
that is NSW.
In order to drive this engagement, Cricket
NSW has developed a bold strategy, Mosaic
Cricket, which focuses on grassroots access
and opportunities to be part of the game that
is a sport for all Australians.
This is a significant milestone which will see
Cricket NSW give more to multicultural NSW
and strengthen our relationships with all
sections of the community. We will provide
young people opportunities to develop an
identity that is both reflective of their heritage,
and proud of being an Australian.
The 2012/13 Weet-Bix Cup Finals Day took
place at the SCG on Sunday, 3 March 2013 with
the Metropolitan Champion playing off against
the Regional Champion for the mantle of State
Champion. The winners of each division were:
U/12 – Caringbah Cricket Club
U/14 – Camden Cricket Club
U/16 – Engadine Cricket Club
We thank Weet Bix for their ongoing support
and look forward to a bigger and better
competition in 2013/14!

In pursuit of our goal to inspire the next
generation of participants and fans, Game
Development worked with the State Cricket
Department to deliver the Toyota Country Blitz.
The inaugural Toyota Good for Cricket Raffle

Toyota designed to assist clubs, schools and
associations raise important funds for projects
in their community.
John McMahon Award (NSW Country

A key priority of Game Development is to
support the two BBL teams. For 2012/13,
the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder
were allocated clear regions in which
Game Development staff delivered
promotional activities for the teams.
Component of support that were
provided include:
•
Game Development staff branded
in BBL apparel
•
Integration of teams with
promotional collateral
•
Support of School and Club
Ambassador Program
•
Support of match day activities The first prize for this year’s event was a
brand new Toyota Camry Hybrid HL and in
a change from previous years, 100% of the
money raised was returned to the organisation
responsible for selling tickets. This meant that
an outstanding $110,000 was raised for grass
roots projects across the State.
Our thanks goes to Toyota for their generous
support of this raffle.
Coach Education
Coaching Courses – Introduction to
Cricket, Community Representative and
High Performance
Introduction to Coaching online courses
continued throughout the past year. This is the
introductory step for prospective coaches to
begin their journey.
Cricket NSW conducted 40 Level One
(Community Coach) courses for 454 candidates
(Metro 275, Regional 179). As part of the Level
One process, we added an opportunity for
school teachers to be accredited in conjunction
with the Department of Education. A new
scheme accrediting University students was
also introduced. This is an excellent initiative
from the Game Development Department with
the course aimed at up-skilling students to
work as part of the Game Development Intern
program.
Cricket NSW ran two Level Two
(Representative) Accreditation Courses
at Scots School, Bathurst and the Sydney
Academy of Sport. 57 participants attended
the course. Former Test and First Class
cricketers presented topics at both courses.
The Level Three (High Performance)
Accreditation was held in Brisbane at the
Centre of Excellence in June 2013. Cricket
NSW has nominated four candidates; Paul
Byrom, Mark McInnes, Steve Taylor and Hamish
Solomons. The ACA also nominated NSW’s
recently retired Test bowler Beau Casson.
An Elite Coaches Conference was held this
year in place of a Level Three. It was run
at the Centre of Excellence for State squad
coaches (Male and Female) as well as coaches
of underage state representative teams.
A quality group of presenters including Rod
Marsh, Kim Hughes, Greg Chappell and Dennis
Lillee addressed the group.
Bob Simpson Award (Sydney Grade Club
Coach) – Greg Small (Blacktown DCC)
Tom Richmond Award (NSWDCA Junior
Rep Coach) – Peter Maddocks
(South Eastern JCA)
Behind the Rope
Behind the Rope is a forum created to
communicate with coaches. It started as part
of the Cricket NSW coaching website and
has now been transformed into two separate
publications sent to vastly different groups
who share the common passion, coaching.
In conjunction with Bruce Whitehouse we put
together an issue for our Regional Directors
of Coaching. Their issue looks at things that
directly impact on what they are doing in
regional areas as well as touching on any
other information that we feel relevant for
their development.
The other issue is for the Grade club coaches.
It deals with relevant topics and items of
interest which will assist the club coaches.
It is expected that the coaches take ownership
of this concept and drive the content of the
publications. The idea is in its infancy but it is
hoped that it will allow greater communication
and consistency with and amongst the
coaches no matter where they may be.
Coach the Coaches
The Coach the Coaches session is an initiative
introduced to up-skill currently accredited
coaches, with a pilot program completed
during 2012/13 in conjunction with Bankstown
DCC and Bankstown DCA.
It is our intention to increase the amount of
sessions that we conduct in both Metropolitan
and Regional areas during 2013/14.
Each session would be different to cater for
the varying needs of the coaches in the area.
There is a real keenness from coaches to be
up-skilled and we see this program as an
excellent vehicle to assist them with the
latest advances in coaching.

The 2012/13 Commercial Operations and Communications staff.
International Cricket
Sponsorship
In 2012/13 Cricket NSW hosted a Vodafone
Test match, Commonwealth Bank One Day
International and KFC T20 International
against Sri Lanka, as well as a Commonwealth
Bank One Day International against the
West Indies, with a total of 208,733 fans
coming through the gates in Sydney to watch
International Cricket.
In 2012/13 Cricket NSW celebrated its
11th season in partnership with the NSW
Government through Transport for NSW’s
sponsorship of the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues.
We are delighted to report that this partnership
has recently been renewed for a further
three years.
The Test against Sri Lanka was a historic
occasion on several fronts. Not only was it the
first time that Sri Lanka had played a Test at
the SCG, but it was also the final appearance
for Australian legend, Mike Hussey, in an
Australian cap.
96
In 2012/13, the sponsorship provided a
platform for Transport for NSW to deliver
their latest drink driving awareness campaign,
“What’s your Plan B?” The campaign
encourages people to make sure they have an
alternative method to driving to get home after
a few drinks.
As part of this campaign, Transport for NSW
delivered a number of activations including a
dedicated at match promotion during a Ryobi
Cup fixture at North Sydney Oval, as well as
a Clubs Road Show where players travelled
to Grade clubs across Sydney to deliver the
“Plan B” message.
Cricket NSW is grateful for the continued
support we receive from all of our commercial
partners and suppliers that help us to deliver
our programs across the State, and in this
regard we welcomed Webjet as the major
partner of the Sydney Thunder for BBL|02 and
BBL|03. I would also like to acknowledge the
outstanding support of Lend Lease, Toyota,
Gujarat NRE, Kookaburra Sport, Coca-Cola
The KFC T20 International, played on Australia
Day, was the second International fixture to be
played at ANZ Stadium and this game again
received excellent support from
Western Sydney with 42,540 fans attending.
2012/13 also saw the successful delivery of
a new Financial Model pilot for Australian
cricket, whereby the National body assumed
the risk associated with running International
cricket. This model has now been implemented
nationwide, with Cricket Australia providing
Crickey NSW with a minimum guarantee for
the next four years.
In addition to the men’s International
fixtures, Cricket NSW also hosted four Rose
Bowl matches between the Commonwealth
Bank Southern Stars and New Zealand, which
were played at the Sydney Cricket Ground and
North Sydney Oval.
The Plan B message was out in force at International cricket.
Amatil, Pitcher Partners, Sanitarium, Summit

The Toyota Good for Cricket Raffle
For the first time, Cricket NSW partnered with
Toyota to deliver the Toyota Good for Cricket
Raffle. This community based initiative raised
over $110,000 for grass roots organisations
in NSW.
Toyota generously donated a brand new Camry
Hybrid HL as first prize in the raffle. This was
won by Terry-Lee Harrison from Toormina,
who was sold her ticket by the Sawtell
Cricket Club.
Gujarat NRE Indoor Centre
Michael Clarke was presented his Captain’s Blazer at the 2012/13 Season Launch.
Corporate Hospitality and
Membership
Cricket NSW continued its joint venture
with SEL/Insite to deliver our International
Corporate Hospitality Program and the Mark
Taylor Club.
The Gujarat NRE Indoor Centre at the
SCG continues to be an important source
of revenue for Cricket NSW, raising
over $400,000 for the organisation with
approximately 40,000 people utilising the
facility in 2012/13.
This is was the third season for the Mark
Taylor Club, and Cricket NSW expresses its
thanks to Mark Taylor for his outstanding
support of this venture.
The Centre was used as a training facility for
club and school teams during the pre-season
and in-season periods, as well as for individual
coaching sessions with Cricket NSW staff and
School Holiday Camps.
Cricket NSW continues to foster excellent
relationships with the media with both the
NSW SpeedBlitz Blues and Lend Lease
Breakers receiving excellent coverage during
the season. In 2012/13 cricket received 28.6%
share of voice in NSW sports media during the
summer months.
The Centre also hosted several functions,
including the Annual Bradman Foundation Gala
Dinner and the NSW Waratahs’ “Tah Bar”,
while the Sydney Swans utilised the facility to
house away teams during matches at the SCG.
Digital and Communications
We also continue to work extensively in
the digital space, producing large amounts
of content for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube

Terry-Lee Harrison at the One Day International between Australia and the West Indies.
and Instagram. Our website continues to
be the hub of our digital strategy with a
redevelopment of this site underway, including
the implementation of a mobile site.
Events

•
Finally our flag-ship event of the year,

at Doltone House with over 500 people
in attendance to celebrate NSW’s best
individual performers across the summer.
One of the highlights of this evening was
a performance by Australian rock legend,
Daryl Braithwaite.

The NSW Schoolboys’ Cricket Championship
is the most significant cricket week in our
calendar and for the past four years it has
not had a major sponsor. However earlier this
year we were delighted to secure a generous
sponsorship from Hickman and Ritchard
Financial Planning. This three year agreement
will assist us in meeting the costs of providing
the high quality infrastructure required to
produce the outstanding cricket we see from
our young cricketers each year.
In maintaining the standards and vision of NSW
Combined Catholic Colleges:
School Cricket we have been well served by
Tim Spain
our hardworking committee. Each year these
men give up significant time and effort to assist
Great Public Schools:
our young cricketers. I would like to thank
Michael Curran
each and every one of them and also make
Associated Schools of NSW: special mention of Tim Murray (Treasurer and
Martin Haywood
Championship Referee), Brian Sawyer and Tim
Combine Country Schools: Spain (Carbine Club Cup management), Tim
Andrew Waters
Knight (RESI Trophy Series referee), Cameron
French (Cricket NSW) and David Freedman
(Chairman of Selectors Cricket NSW).
Secretary’s Report
The 2012/13 season will be remembered for the
many unexpected changes that directly affected
the administration of schools’ cricket in NSW,
and in particular for the sad passing of our long
serving President, Mr Tony Lantry OAM.
Tony Lantry was a founding member of our
Association (1966) and served continually on the
Committee until his passing in November 2012.
For 32 of these 46 years Tony led the Association
with distinction as its President. A full tribute to
Tony has been included later in this report.
Cricket NSW also experienced a significant
change in its leadership with the resignations
of both Chairman Dr Harry Harinath, and Chief
Executive Mr David Gilbert. Both these men
have been wonderful supporters of schools’
cricket, for which we are extremely grateful.
In the 11 years that David Gilbert was Chief
Executive he provided a listening ear to grass
roots cricket, and particularly our Association. He
encouraged us to think “outside the square” and
try new things to keep the game alive in schools.
Having come through the ranks of schools’
cricket, David was aware of the work
being done by volunteers and the wider
opportunities available to grow the game.
His support lifted the Schools’ Association
profile and provided the opportunity for
schoolboy players to play on the SCG in
our bi-annual One Day fixture against
Queensland Schools.
NSW Schoolboys Championships
The 2013 Championships were played in
Sydney and produced an excellent level of
cricket, with all teams performing well in a
tight competition deservingly won by CHS-1.
The first day began with all teams respecting
the passing of our President, Mr Tony Lantry,
with players and officials holding a minute’s
silence prior to the first ball being bowled.
The grounds were in excellent condition
however, the longer grass left on the outfield
for winter sports meant scores were lower
than expected. Whilst no centuries were
scored during the week, Jake Doran did go
close with 90 runs on day three.
Once again, the final day of competition
comprised T20 matches. This provided a
marvellous spectacle with six teams based
at the same location, with the tournament
champion to be decided at the end of the day.
In a reflection of the evenness of the
competition, all teams won at least two of
their five matches, with CHS-1 taking out the
Championships with four wins.
We again thank Cricket NSW for their
continued support through the work of David
Freedman and Cameron French, and for the
provision of awards to players at the end of
the Championships.
Their involvement continues a long association
between the two groups, and adds to
the importance of this week of cricket as
a pathway to further representation at
higher levels of cricket. The presence of Pat
Cummins, as guest speaker at the end of
the Championships, after having been in the
audience as a player only three years earlier,
adds testimony to this.
We would like to thank the schools who
provided the grounds for our use and in
particular, the King’s School, Parramatta, for
providing three grounds on the final day as
well as the function facilities and catering.

Tribute to Anthony (Tony) Thomas
Lantry OAM
On 24 November 2012, Schools Cricket lost
one of its greatest advocates and visionaries
in Tony Lantry.
Throughout Tony’s leadership, the NSWSCA
has provided continuous opportunities for
schoolboy cricketers to play at the highest
level and he received the Order of Australia
Medal in 2011 for his service to education
and schools’ cricket.
I know I speak for all those involved in
schools’ cricket in NSW when I say it was an
honour to have worked with such a fine man
who had the development of the character
and skill of our young cricketers as his prime
reason to serve.
May we all continue his legacy.
Graeme Kightley
Honorary Secretary
It was indeed fitting that the 2012
Championships were held in the Maitland
area, the place where Tony was born and
spent his early days until he came to St
Joseph’s College Hunters Hill as a student,
and then following his studies at Sydney
University, returned to teach Mathematics.
He retired only two years ago after 50 years
of outstanding service.
Tony served Schools’ Cricket for over 40 years
both as a coach and administrator. He was a
founding member of the NSW Schoolboys’
Cricket Association in 1966 and served as
a member of that committee continuously
until his passing. He has held the office of
Chairman since 1980 (32 years) and was the
GPS representative on the committee from
1966 to 2000.
Mr Tony Lantry.
NSW takes on Queensland in the Carbine Cup.

The Bradman Foundation
and past honourees such as Dennis Lillie, Alan
Davidson, Bob Simpson, Arthur Morris and Neil
Harvey, as well as politicians, businessmen and
captains of industry as the cricket fraternity and
wider community came together to celebrate
the legacy of Sir Donald Bradman.
Cricket NSW and the SCG Trust are valued
partners of the event and we are grateful for
the ongoing support. This year the Foundation
will honour Mark Taylor AO on 30 October 2013.
In the Foundation’s second year of the
partnership with School Sports Australia’s
International Cricket program, the U/16
National team were hosted at Bowral as they
prepared to head for the United Arab Emirates.
Former Australian captain and Bradman
Foundation Chairman, Ian Craig, presented the
team with their uniquely numbered Australian
Schoolboy Caps and Museum Global
Ambassador, Ricky Ponting, gave an inspiring
send off interspersed with some valuable
seasoned advice via a pre-recorded message.
Celebrating World Series Cricket (top) and
Michael Clarke.
The 2012/13 season at the Bradman Museum
remained a busy whirlwind of progress and
success, highlighted by the opening of the
permanent World Series Cricket Gallery.
The Gallery, opened in late October by Sir Vivian
Richards, received unprecedented support from
former WSC players to help make the exhibition
a success. Through their lending of personal
WSC items, recording interviews and actively
promoting the exhibition, both its detail and
reach has been considerably enhanced.

Michael Clarke visited the museum for
the launch of the World Series Cricket
Documentary that was produced by our
Museum Curatorial Staff, with guidance from
the late Tony Grieg, Richie Benaud, Gideon
Haigh and Dennis Lillee. The 15 minute film
was first shown at a WSC Luncheon held at
the Museum on 7 February 2013 with players,
commentators and administrators from the
era attending, including Max Walker, Doug
Walters, Rick McCosker, Len Pascoe, David
Colley and Richie Benaud.
The annual Bradman Gala Dinner, held at
the Sydney Cricket Ground, was a highly
enjoyable evening with Foundation Patron,
Richie Benaud paying tribute to 2012 Bradman
Honourees, Glenn McGrath and Rahul Dravid.
The evening was a unique opportunity for
guests to move among prominent cricketers
The Museum’s Schools Education Program
which focuses upon curriculum links, has
been well received and been extended from
Primary Schools to High Schools. The Program
focuses upon science, history, geography and
physical activity. The various modules tailored
to different learning abilities are unique as the
Curators’ bring rare and unseen objects out
from the archive thereby allowing students
a hands-on interactive Museum experience.
This principle of a hands-on experience
has been extended to the Museum’s
School-Holidays Program which allows visitors
to handle collection items as part of the daily
‘Cabinet of Curiosities’. The Museum features
a number of other unique three hour classes
during the holidays with photography, drawing
and making scrapbooks, which are in addition
to the coaching clinics. These activities provide
something for everyone, and are proving very
popular with kids and parents working together.
The Foundation is excited to announce
that it has combined with the University
of Wollongong to offer its first scholarship
for undergraduate study at the Wollongong
campus. Bradman Foundation Deputy Chair,
Peta Seaton, accompanied Premier Barry
O’Farrell to India along with the Vice Chancellor
of UOW, Paul Wellings, and UOW Ambassador
Adam Gilchrist.
The Foundation is deeply committed to Sir
Donald’s vision of investing in youth cricket.
In addition to the School Sport Australia
events, we held two summer residential
coaching clinics with the highlight in January
being the attendance of Lend Lease Breakers
Head Coach Joanne Broadbent, Acting Head
Coach of the NSW SpeedBlitz Blues, Chandika
Hathurusingha, and Former Head Coach of the
NSW SpeedBlitz Blues, Anthony Stuart.
Collectively they announced the establishment
of an undergraduate scholarship for an
Indian student to study in Australia. It will
operate under the title of ‘The UOW Bradman
Scholarship’. The Foundation was pleased to
welcome Adam Gilchrist to the Museum in
November as part of this new partnership.
The Bradman U/14 Invitational carnival was held
in April with teams from Dubbo, Hornsby, Wagga
Wagga, Lachlan, Mid-North Coast, Far-South
Coast and Southern Highlands in attendance.
Congratulations to Hornsby, who won the title for
the first time after many years attending as part
of their associations developing pathway.
The 1963 Australian Women’s Cricket Team that
toured England held their 50 year reunion at the
Museum in early April. Hosted by the Museum
and Cricket Australia, this was a very successful
day with the ladies enjoying a visit by current
World Cup champions Rachael Haynes and
Ellyse Perry, who kindly brought the ICC OneDay and T20 World Cup trophies with them.
As always the Foundation would like to
thank the staff at Cricket NSW for providing
assistance in all areas of our business.
To players of all levels, cricket mums and dads
and all the people who volunteer their time
to help it undertake its work, from attending
functions, supporting Bradman Carnivals and
clinics and assisting the Curators’ to maintain
the Museum collection.
Georgia Redmayne, from Alstonville in
northern NSW is the 2013 recipient of the
Bradman Scholarship. Georgia is studying
Medicine at the University of NSW and
plays for the Universities First Grade team.
She recently received the award for most
dismissals by a wicketkeeper from the
Sydney Women’s Cricket Association.
Once again the Museum hosted the 2012 Cricket
Art Prize which features works by international
artists. This year the ‘Players Choice Award’ was
introduced which saw the Sydney Sixers select
their favourite artwork. The exhibition finished
its national tour at the Museum after being
exhibited in Sydney at the SCG.
We have a new book being released in October,
complied by renown author Mike Coward, titled
‘Champions – The World’s Greatest Cricketers
Speak’ extracts drawn from the Museum’s
extensive player interview archive.
Please plan a visit to the museum this summer,
as we roll out a detailed events program for the
back-to-back Ashes Series. This includes the
launch of an ‘Ashes Expo’ designed to celebrate
and re-examine cricket’s oldest and greatest
rivalry. Visitors are always very welcome!

the organisation and tremendous growth and
development for cricket throughout NSW.

higher than any time in the last 30 years.
David was also responsible for extending
Cricket NSW’s footprint into the major
growth area of Western Sydney. He played a
key role in the development of training and
playing facilities at Blacktown International
Sportspark, as well as taking International

the new multi-million dollar upgrade of
Drummoyne Oval which will enable to the

with ACT Government to take NSW SpeedBlitz
Blues home matches to Canberra.

to the administration of cricket that has seen
Mike achieve a long and distinguished career
from the grass roots level to the Board of
Cricket Australia.
Mike had been the Central Northern Zone
Delegate to Cricket NSW since 1992 and was
elected to the NSW Cricket Board in 2006.

Association Notes
Governance/Constitutional Change
On 3 June 2013 the NSWCA’s Delegates
approved, by a comfortable majority in each
case, two amendments to the NSWCA’s
Constitution. An amendment to its Rule 26
enabled the NSW Cricket Board to appoint
a person other than a current Director of the
Board, to the Board of Cricket Australia.
In addition, an amendment to Rule 27 enabled
the Board to appoint a person other than
the NSWCA’s current Chief Executive, to the
position of the NSWCA’s Company Secretary.
The Board and Delegates considered that each
above amendment would reflect current best
practice, in terms of the governance of both
the NSWCA, and Cricket Australia.

The Alan McGilvray Memorial
Scholarship
Established by the NSW Department of Sport
and Recreation, the Alan McGilvray Memorial
Scholarship aims to provide opportunities for
young players to develop and enhance their
potential to succeed in International cricket
by representing NSW and Australia, as well
as providing a lasting memorial for the late
Alan McGilvray AM MBE, one of Australia’s
greatest cricket broadcasters and a former
NSW captain.
The NSW Department of Sport and Recreation
provide an annual grant of $6,000 to the
Association as part of the Scholarship. Funding
of $3000 is gifted to one male and one female
player aged between 17-19 years, to be used
in the most appropriate way to facilitate their
further development as a cricketer.
The 15th Annual Alan McGilvray Memorial
Scholarships were presented by the NSW
Minister for Sport and Recreation, The Hon.
Graham Annesley MP, during the Steve Waugh
Medal Dinner on Thursday 28 March 2013.
The recipients were Damien Mortimer and
Stefanie Daffara.
Damien Mortimer
Damien Mortimer is a top order batsman
who has made terrific progress over the last
12 months. He was part of the NSW team
which competed at the U/19 Championships
in Adelaide where he finished as the
tournament’s third leading run scorer, as well
as recording a top score of 140 not out
against Queensland.
He was subsequently selected in the Team
of the Championship and invited to attend the
Cricket Australia U/18 Talent Camp. He was
later named in the Australian U/19 team to
tour New Zealand.
Stefanie Daffara
Stefanie Daffara has been an important
member of the NSW U/18 team for the last
two seasons. A talented allrounder, she
possesses a tremendous attitude and has

The Cliff Winning Library Report
Please feel welcome to join us any Tuesday
between 10am and 3pm, at Cricket NSW
headquarters in Moore Park, and become
immersed with a busy, happy group of
researchers and browsers using our vast range
of resources to achieve wide and various
cricket related goals.
Or simply contact us to get information
concerning Grade or First Class cricket
matters. We have assisted many cricket
authors, academic and professional, family
and Grade club historians and people just
wanting to settle longstanding queries or
arguments. Visit us or contact us on
02 8302 6000, or library@cricketnsw.com.au.
We added many new resources to our vast
collection through purchases and generous
donations. We particularly appreciated
Kershi Meher-Homje’s donation of his final
volume, “Cricket Conflicts and Controversies”,
following a magnificent cricket writing career.
We congratulate Kershi and acknowledge
him as one of the worlds most dedicated and
sincere cricket authors, and we will miss his
genial and industrious visits.
We thank Geoffrey Forsaith for his very
generous donation of antiquarian 1895
magazines. Many thanks also to prolific
authors Ken Piesse and Ric Sissons for copies
of their new volumes. Coincidentally to mark
receipt of Ric’s “The Terror”, Cricket Australia
presented us with a beautiful glass portrait
of Charles Turner on his elevation to the
Australian Hall of Fame. Thanks to
Charlie Wat for his continued updates
of international statistics.
We acknowledge our longstanding
researchers and writers who continue to
add to the valuable store of statistics and
history: Stephen Gibbs, Peter Sharpham,
Lyall Gardner, John Stewart, Sam Buono,
Steve McClue, Graham King, John Hiscox
and renowned statistician Charles Davis. We
congratulate long standing author and cricket
publisher Ronald Cardwell on his completion
of the official history of the NSW Umpires
Association following painstaking research
to produce a major, valuable history. Thanks
to Bill Hawke for his continued valuable
library assistance.
Congratulations to Dr Colin Clowes and Colin
Jefferies for the amazing effort they have
put into the production of the comprehensive
Sydney Grade Cricket statistics. Check out the
SCA website under “Records and Results” to
note their work. Second Grade stats have just
been added.
Finally we acknowledge the strong support
provided to the Library by former Cricket
NSW Chief Executive, David Gilbert. His love
of cricket history and stats complemented
our endeavours to give service to our cricket
public. In welcoming our new Chief Executive
Andrew Jones, we also note his strong
support for Library initiatives.
