ACC Girls wins the first International tournament in Hungary

According to net run rate Austria were the overall winners, with Belgium second and Hungary third, but everybody agreed to call it a tie!

In the first match Belgium  Austria score to set them up for the day. Some amazing hitting and running from Agnes and Fanni from Bekescsaba then helped Hungary overwhelm Belgium 2, before Austria got back on track with an easy win over Serbia. After the Belgian derby, Serbia beat Hungary (with Hungarian Brigi Hotea taking 2 wickets while playing for Serbia!) and Austria thrashed Belgium 2 (with Jani taking 3 wickets and hitting 23 not out; Yasmin also retired on 23).

With four matches to go, Belgium 1 were hot favourites to win the day and they managed it in style, beating an under-strength Hungary and the tired Serbia to finish the day unbeaten. The Serbia team had already lost to Belgium 2 because of some very tight bowling, so that left Hungary and Austria to play the last match knowing it was a straight battle for 2nd or 3rd place. Despite batting well, Hungary lost their heads when bowling, with the extras gifting the win and thus the runners-up spot to the visitors.

Poppy and Danielle were in great form with the bat all day for Belgium 1, hitting 135 points between them. Yasmin hit 56 in just three matches (including consecutive sixes) and Jelena got 39 points for Serbia.

Jani came good with the ball after a slow start, pipping Brigi to the most wickets title. Agnes took 4 for Hungary (3 of them caught by Fanni, the joint leading catcher).

All in all a fantastic day of non-stop cricket, 10 matches in 5 hours with coaching in the corridor outside. Just what the coaches ordered for the players to be ready for
Sunday's outdoor action...

After lots of warm-ups, fielding drills and bowling practice, the first match got underway at just after 12. The Flicx pitch was set, but were the players?

Belgium put Hungary into bat and squeezed them with some tight bowling from Francesca and Danielle to restrict the total after 6 overs to 23-1. That increased to 49-1 after 10 overs, with Nora and Claudia starting to run, then Brigi replaced the retired Nora (14) to help double the score from the last 5 overs. She remained unbeaten on 12, Claudia hit 22 not out. Half of the 98-1 total came from extras, many thanks to aggressive Hungarian running.

In contrast to the Hungarian innings, Belgium got off to a flyer, with Poppy and Sue dominating the bowling. Sue was dropped once, helping her stay at the crease to hit 7 boundaries. When she was caught by Brigi for 40 in the 10th over, the target was already in sight and Danielle assisted Poppy over the line with 3 overs to spare. All the bowlers leaked boundaries, but Niki's debut performance with the ball was impressive.

With victory came the chance to recover and freshen up, leaving Hungary to regroup quickly to play again. Three countries combined to form the Austria/Germany/Serbia team, with Jani captaining.

Hungary batted first and again got off to a slow but steady start. The run-rate hovered around 5 for the whole innings, with the runs mainly coming from extras (51 in total, although many were due to the aggressive running tactices). Nora and Mirtyll put on 21 for the first wicket, Nora and Claudia combined for a 34-run partnership, but then three quick wickets fell to leave the team in trouble. Zsuzsa then reached double figures, but her 11 was the top score in a disappointing batting display to end on 79-5. Lubina took 3-13 and Jo-An only conceded 5 runs from three overs, so their team was confident during the innings break.

Twelve runs off the first over got them off to a strong start, but after Brigi bowled Georgina and Nigina in the fifth over, the run-rate was always lower than Hungary's. Three of the team's best batswomen were then run out, meaning Hungary only had to control the extras to win. Claudia bowled the final over, with Austria needing 9 to win, but they couldn't do it and Hungary had the victory.

Brigi's 3-5 off three overs was fantastic and Niki impressed again with just 13 coming off her 3 overs. Despite some basic fielding errors, the team gelled together to pull off the win.

The final match of the weekend saw Belgium bat first, but this time Poppy and Danielle both failed with the bat to leave them in disarray at 16-4 off 5 overs. Sue came to the rescue with three boundaries in her 20, but the remaining six batswomen all failed to score, meaning that they only reached 70-9 off their 15 overs.

Jani took 3-4 off her three overs thanks to some expert bowling and greater accuracy than in the first match (in the two matches, she only conceded three singles from the bat). Austria/Germany/Serbia might have given away 45 extras, but again they were confident while they drank.

This time, there was no mistake. Jani took control with a masterful 22 and her team chased down the target in just 11.5 overs. Francesca bowled well again to take 2-4 off her 3 overs, but the target was too low to defend.

So, each team won once on Sunday. According to net run rate Austria were the overall winners, with Belgium second and Hungary third, but everybody agreed to call it a tie!

Thanks to sponsors Anita Hungaria (distributors of sports, pregnancy and care lingerie and swimwear) and Comenius School, each player received a medal and an Anita goodie bag, with the best players receiving cups and other players receiving mugs and certificates for their contributions to a wonderful weekend of cricket.

Next year Belgium have promised to hold a similar event and the Austrians also said they would - so, next year Europe's female cricketers will have lots of travelling to do!

Winner ACC Under 9 with the Trophy

ACC under 12, 4th. place

This time around two teams went to Tegernsee and two teams went to Munich.
The Tegernsee tournament started well for the ACC, with some intelligent bowling from Sohaib and Shivam to begin with. The bowling was backed up, too, by positive batting by Aman, Sohab and Shivam. The first match of ACC was between both ACC-teams. However, they met with redoubtable opposition against two fresh Swiss sides, one team from Tegernsee and one from Zuoz. ACC-Reds won all their matches on the first day therby qualifying for the finals. ACC-Whites didn´t have a successful campaign, but we still saw some brilliant cricket all around.

On Sunday ACC-Reds  continued their winning streak. The ACC-Whites played and fought really hard, but they didn´t taste success.

The final dawned on Sunday after ACC closed their round-robin stage with a 100 per cent win record. The other finalist was the Swiss-Green. The toss was once again won by Aman and he elected to bat. ACC got a shock at the start, when Sohaib was run out for a duck, but Shivam and Aman steadied the ship. A good contribution from Jo-An got ACC a total of 142. Sohaib once again opened the bowling and he took two wickets in two balls, including the captain of the Swiss side. With some tight bowling at the end they once again won the tournament. 

The ACC-U9´s played some exceptional cricket and they qualified for the finals on Sunday. The U12´s played some good cricket, but they were unlucky and they ended the tournament in 4th place. The U9´s won the tournament with some great batting, bowling and fielding display.


Next SATURDAY we will be practicing at our ground in Markomannenstraße.

Report from Udara (Srilankan Cricket Club Youth Academy)

Our trip started on Friday. The trip was really marvellous.  We even had fun in the bus.

On Saturday morning at 6 o’clock we had to stand up to get ready for the match. When I saw the hall I was impressed. I’ve never seen a hall as big as this hall. We played against many Swiss teams and against Tegernsee. True, we have lost all matches but we earned lots of experience. At the beginning we played not so good but at the end we got better.

We had great fun. After the match, when we stayed at the hotel, we were able to play Ping Pong, Table Football and even One Bump (One Tip). We never went to bed before midnight.

And now something to Jayatilika Uncle. He was amazing. He wasn’t too strict. He let us area to be left clear. This is how a babysitter should be.

Thanks for the ACC organising comity.

Thanks for the SLCC Club for giving us the babysitter.

At last we want to thank Siva Uncle for this trip. He really helped us, even during the match. My bowling was bad. He came and showed me how to do it and everything went clear. But he did not only help especially me, he helped everyone. We thank Siva Uncle for inviting us to the trip.

 Regards

Winner ACC Under 17 with the Trophy

ACC Under 17 Team, the winners

ACC Under 17 Team, the Runner-Up

ACC Under 15

Dieses Mal fuhren zwei Teams nach Tegernsee und zwei Teams nach München. 

Das Tegernsee Turnier begann gut für ACC, mit intelligentem Bowling von Sohaib und Shivam von Anfang an. Das gute Bowling wurde durch gutes Batting und Fielding gesichert. Das erste Spiel wurde zwischen den beiden ACC-Teams gespielt. Allerdings trafen sie sich mit Widerspruch gegen zwei neue Schweizer Seite, ein Team aus Tegernsee und einer von Zuoz. ACC-Reds gewannen alle ihre Spiele am ersten Tag und qualifizierten sich somit für das Finale. ACC-Whites hatten nicht eine erfolgreiche Kampagne, trotzdem sahen wir ausgezeichnetes Cricket von allen Spielern.

Am Sonntag setzen ACC-Reds ihre Siegesserie fort. Die ACC-Whites spielten und kämpften hart, aber das Glück und die Umpires waren nicht auf ihrer Seite und deshalb setzte es für sie noch eine unglückliche Niederlage.

Das Finale wurde zwischen ACC-Reds und Schweiz-Green gespielt. Der Münzwurf wurde einmal mehr durch Aman gewonnen und sie batteten als erstes. ACC bekam einen Schock zu Beginn, wenn Sohaib run out wurde. Shivam und Aman und stabilisiert das Innings. Durch einen guten Beitrag von Jo-An machte ACC ingesamt 142 Runs. Sohaib öffnete wieder das Bowling und er nahm zwei Wickets in zwei Bällen, darunter der Kapitän der Schweizer Seite. Mit engem Bowling gewannen sie am Ende das Turnier.

Die ACC-U9 spielte einige außergewöhnliche Spiele und sie qualifizierten sich für das Finale am Sonntag. Die U12 spielte einige gute Matches aber sie hatten Pech, und sie endeten das Turnier auf dem 4. Platz. Die U9's gewann das Turnier mit einigem guten Batting, Bowling und Fielding.

Nächsten Sonntag trainieren wir wieder auf unserem Platz in der Markomannenstraße.

PLEASE HELP BRETT

Brett has just recently been diagnosed of stomach cancer. He was in and out of hospital in the past couple of months and has undergone 4 operation. One major one where his whole stomach had to be removed. Big medical bills occur for his operations, treatments and therapies which are not manageable by Brett&Judith any more. 
The outlook for Brett’s future looks promising. He was very lucky that the tumour was discovered early. Brett will need chemo therapy for half a year and after that he should be able to live a pretty normal life again.
Brett has done a lot for the community. He has spent a lot of his spare time coaching kids at sport and helped with development, he has been giving free English lessons and he was always just a phone call away when anyone needed his help.

If you want help Brett with a small donation for his medical bills to fight the cancer it would be a big help to him!

* Divith is amazing. He will be a star when he is older. He competes well with the older people and catches everything and does the basics well and is confident and comes every Friday. He is really good potential for the future.
 
* so good Rafa and I included her into the Euro2010 squad as a reserve player to use if one of the girls gets injured or cannot come to Euros. She communicates naturally on the field, catches and passes well (naturally) and very importantly she plays strong and 'aggressive' (i.e. not a scared little mouse) and she has HUGE potential! She will be golden for ACC Touch in the future. Its amazing how natural she is at the game. We are fast tracking her with extra training.
 
* Aman & Narvin regularly come on Firdays but unfortunately we dont have the coaching resources to really give them one on one training but they are doing OK. They will both also be good players.

Brett just got out of intensive care. The doctors are very satisfied with the healing process.

Dear Brett,

We would like to say, from the cricket club as a whole, that we all hope you get well soon. We can’t wait to see you well-recovered and with us again. You have been a huge gain for the club, no doubt as you are for all your other endeavours. Through your remarkable effort, your cordial commitment, you have brought such positive life, such a spirited atmosphere to the club. We are truly grateful for your contribution, both in the huge move forwards that you have brought in cricket, and the wonderful new dimension you have given us with rugby. It is by no means easy to inspire such significant and positive changes in the club, and in so many different ways, but such has been the extent of your dedication and resolve that you have done so much for us all. So as an inspiring cricketer, a great rugby-player, but most importantly as a dear friend and a loved member of the family that is our club, we would all like to say how much we appreciate everything you’ve done. We truly value you.

Please pass on our sincere gratitude and greetings to Judith and your Mom as well. We hope to see you both again very soon!

Wishing you a speedy recovery,

Your Team-AUSTRIAN CRICKETCLUB

Our A-Team visited Graz for the first tour of 2010. The indoor tournament took place from the 30^th to the 31^st of January 2010. Our team was boosted by the arrival of Satyam Subhash and Lakmal Kasturiarachchige from England. After a two and a half hour drive, we arrived straight at the gym. Our first match was against Steyr CC. The opposition wasn’t very strong.

ACC had an easy game. Our team scored 166 runs with Amandeep Chhabra, Imran Asif and Imran Goraya scoring 25 runs. The next match was played against AVL-Graz Cricket Club. Graz was stronger than Steyr CC, but it was still not enough to beat us. Our team showed some exceptional fielding, batting and bowling. ACC remained undefeated at the end of the first day, thereby qualifying for the semi-finals. The second day started with a match against Pakistan Cricket Club. PCC were the favourites, but we gave our best and clinched the game.

We got PCC out for 98 runs, with some fiery bowling from Satyam, Lakmal, Imran A. and Imran G. The brilliant bowling and fielding display was backed up with some great batting.

The semi-finals were going be very tight. The first semi-final was played between Lords Cricket Club and AVL-Graz Cricket Club, which was easily won by LCC. The next match was ours. We played Vienna Cricket Club, which was captained by Benji Loader. VCC won the toss and elected to bat first. VCC started off really well with their openers getting 25.

We restricted VCC to a chaseable target with some tight bowling from our captain Shivam.

Our batting didn´t disappoint us and we chased the target with two overs to spare.

The final was going to be played between ACC and LCC. LCC was playing with Rajeev Sharma, Maninder Bharti, Sahil Bharti, Sukhvir Hira, Wasif Mohammed and Nandeep Soggi.

ACC was playing with Shivam Subhash, Imran Asif, Imran Goraya, Amandeep Chhabra, Satyam Subhash and Lakmal Kasturiarachchige. ACC won the toss and elected to bat.

The openers were Aman and Lakmal. The match started with a brilliant piece of fielding by Sahil to run out Lakmal. This was a big loss for us. Imran A. came in and consolidated.

Aman got to 25 runs and retired. Our captain walked in and gave the innings the impetus it needed before getting run out. Imran G. and Satyam also chipped in with useful cameos.

ACC set LCC a target of 126 runs. LCC´s openers were Mani and Nandeep. They gave them a good start and at the end of the fifth over, they had scored 68 runs. The equation was in LCC´s favour. But some good bowling gave ACC a whisker of a chance. The equation came down to 9 runs needed of 6 balls. Shivam bowled the last over. The first ball went for three runs, the second was a dot. The third and fourth ball went for three each. LCC won the final with two balls to spare. Imran Asif was named best batsman and Imran Goraya was named best bowler. Lakmal and Imran A. also won man of the match awards. All in all it was a great weekend for our youth.

Unsere A-Mannschaft machte die erste Cricketreise im Jahr 2010.  Das Hallentunier fand am 30. und 31. Januar statt. Unsere Mannschaft  wurde durch die Ankunft von Satyam Subhash and Lakmal Kasturiarachchige aus England verstärkt.. Nach einer zweieinhalb stündigen Fahrt kamen wir direkt bei Halle an. Als erstes spielten wir gegen Steyr CC. Der Gegner war nicht sehr stark. ACC hatte ein leichtes Spiel. Unsere Mannschaft machte 166 Runs. Amandeep Chhabra, Imran Asif and Imran Goraya machten 25 Runs. Das nächste Spiel wurde gegen AVL-Graz Cricket Club gespielt. Graz war eine stärkere Mannschaft als Steyr CC, aber trotzdem war es nicht genug um uns zu schlagen. Unsere Mannschaft zeigte hervorragendes Fielding, Batting und Bowling. ACC blieb am Ende des ersten Tages unbesiegt und qualifizierte sich somit für das Halbfinale. Der zweite Tag startete mit einem Match gegen Pakistan Cricket Club. PCC waren haushohe Favoriten, aber wir gaben unser Bestes und entschieden das Spiel für uns.

PCC konnte nur 98 Runs machen, weil unsere Bowlers sehr präzise bowlten. Das hervorragende Bowling und Fielding, wurde durch sehr gutes batting gefestigt. In den Halbfinalen wurde sehr hart gekämpft. Das erste Halbfinale wurde zwischen Lords Cricket Club und AVL-Graz Cricket Club gespielt. LCC hatten keine Probleme dieses zu gewinnen.Wir spielten das nächste Spiel. Wir spielten gegen Vienna Cricket Club, das von Benji Loader angeführt wurde. Benji gewann den Münzwurf und entschied, dass sein Team als erstes Batten würde. VCC begann sehr stark. Doch mit geizigem Bowling von unserem Kapitän Shivam konnte wir die Runs von VCC einschränken.

Unser Batting enttäuschte uns nicht und so stiegen wir ins Finale auf. Das Finale wurde zwischen ACC und LCC gespielt. LCC spielte mit Rajeev Sharma, Maninder Bharti, Sahil Bharti, Sukhvir Hira, Wasif Mohammed and Nandeep Soggi.

ACC spielte mit  Shivam Subhash, Imran Asif, Imran Goraya, Amandeep Chhabra, Satyam Subhash and Lakmal Kasturiarachchige. Shivam gewann den Münzwurf und entschied, dass sein Team als erstes Batten würde..

Die ersten Batsmen waren Aman and Lakmal. Das match startete mit einem brillianten run out von Lakmal. Dies war ein großer Verlust von uns. Imran A. kam rein und stärkte unsere Position. Aman machte 25 Runs. Unser Kapitän kam herein und gab der Innings den Antrieb, der nötig war. Imran G. and Satyam machten auch sehr nützliche Punkte.

LCC musste 126 Runs scoren, um als Sieger hervorzugehen. LCCs erste Batsmen waren Mani und Nandeep. Sie gaben ihnen einen guten Start und am Ende des fünften Overs hatten sie bereits 68 Runs gemacht. Es sah ganz nach einem Sieg von LCC aus. Aber gutes Bowling von ACC machte das Finale noch einmal spannend. Im letzten Over brauchte LCC um zu gewinnen. Shivam bowlte das letzte over. LCC gewann das spannende Finale. Imran Asif ging als Bester Batsman hervor und Imran Goraya wurde als Bester Bowler gewählt. Lakmal und Imran A. wurden auch als Spieler der Spiele ausgezeichnet. Alles in allem war es ein ausgezeichnetes Wochende für unseren Nachwuchs.

Germany wins the  of ICC Pepsi Regional Delelopment award
Message from Germany cricket Association President to Siva and Austria Cricket Club WIEN

All the best to you and yours for 2010, cricket and otherwise.

I am writing to say that you have probably seen that the DCB has won an ICC Pepsi Regional Development Award for Women's and one for Youth cricket and this is to thank you and the ACC for your contributon to those awards, which, though they go in name to Germany, could not have been achieved if you hadn't supported youth tournaments by sending teams to Tegernsee and Munich for a long time now, and, of course, you and  Walter going to those places yourselves.

Also, you made your supurb ground and facilities and personnel available for the German women's training camp.  I used that and one of the great photos you took in my presentation entry for the award.  Thanks for that.

The linking of countries (Austria, German, Switzerland, Hungary ect.) for youth and women's cricket is a real plus for the growth of cricket in Europe, long may it continue.

Best regards,

Brian 

President of (DCB) German Cricket association

Hopefully there will be lots of snow, but if not, doesnt matter, we can still play, meet old friends not yet seen in the new year, have a hot drink afterwards, and talk about the coming year.

Hope to see you all there.

Cheers
Brett

Dear Members

As you will no doubt be aware, the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup begins this week in New Zealand. For the six qualified Associate/Affiliate teams who have earned the right to mix it with the Full Members on the world stage at this key event, this is obviously a very exciting time. And we know that they have all worked hard to best prepare themselves for the challenge, and are now ready and raring to go!

ICC are pleased to advise that this tournament will actually offer unprecedented exposure for these teams taking part in the competition. All matches, including warm-up games, will have live ball-by-ball scores on the official event website, which can be viewed at iccevents.yahoo.com, where you will also find text & audio interviews, videos, and player & team profile information.

In addition, there will be at least two live broadcast matches featuring sides from the Pepsi ICC Development Programme, with the India-Afghanistan and Hong Kong-England matches being televised.

A list of broadcasters is available at http://iccu19worldcup.yahoo.net/about_icc_u19wc/broadcast-coverage.html

while

www.espnstar.com

will carry live coverage of matches in a significant number of other territories (see attached list). It would be great if you could please share this information with your respective national and local stakeholders to encourage people to watch the coverage and illustrate the benefit to our broadcasting partners of ensuring that coverage of ICC events is offered on a truly global scale.

The first set of warm-up fixtures takes place today, with the first official tournament matches beginning on Friday.

Kind regards

We target this Goal in 4-5 Years.

And YES WE CAN DO IT.
