One used and worn ANZA Cricket Team up for grabs! Having lost both the Australia versus India Social T30 & T20 at the beginning of the year, the results may not have been brilliant, but at least we now have 364 days to rebuild and perhaps rethink our game plan! Playing on 26 January which marks Australia Day and India Independence Day, we hoped the auspicious timing would bring us some extra good luck, but no. Our thinking is now “change the date”, get your company to sponsor us (yippee!) or – dear readers – please come and join us and show us how it’s done! Everyone is welcome to join ANZA Cricket and we’ll gladly take new recruits to NETs and let them loose on the playground. Contact info@anza.org.sg for more details.
Cricket Superstar Hits the Padang
ANZA Cricket had the unique opportunity to play alongside Australian cricket legend, Nathan Hauritz. The former player, who has represented Australia in Tests, Twenty20 Internationals, and 58 ODI’s for Australia, came to Singapore to experience one of most picturesque grounds in the world, the Padang. Singapore Cricket Club brought out the ring-ins, whilst ANZA accompanied Nathan with some of our best talkers. The end result: SCC 289 in 30 overs. ANZA not as many, but a great day out!
NETs stuff to know
NETs kick off each Wednesday at The Cage Sports Park, Kallang from 7pm. We assemble 5 – 10 people through our WhatsApp chat to roll the arm over. It’s not a problem if you don’t want to play games, don’t have equipment, and/or just want to do NETs. They are social NETs and everyone is welcome.
SCC Youth Development
As yet, ANZA doesn’t run a junior team, but Singapore Cricket Club offers a youth development programme for kids aged 5 -10. With a variety of sessions running weekends and mid-week, the Cubs Cricket environment is “all about fun and enjoyment through our brilliant game.” To find out more contact David Bennett at JuniorCricket@scccricket.com
Cricket is delighted to welcome Spark Plus as the new league sponsor.
