GRASSROOTS CRICKET: PROFILES OF CHAMPIONS: LUNDI MBANE

Today we feature the last of the "famous five" Over 40s Cricket World Cup champions and their roads to success and glory. Here is Lundi Mbane's story in his own words...

"That's me (I was raised in Mdantsane. When I was nine years old, I began playing street cricket with the older guy. At my school (Zanokukhanya P School), a student who was older than me used to play cricket. He told the teacher, who was also a cricket coach, that I could play the game. His teacher then took me to Baker's Mini Cricket. After that, he also took me to play cricket for Willows Cricket Club, which intrigues me. I have participated in games for all age groups within the Border, including Border Academy, Border B and Border A, Warriors, and SA invitation teams against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Recently, We won the World Cup with Vets over 40)".

We hope that his and all the other stories inspire and ignite the cricketing spark. Howzattt Cricket along with many other wonderful grassroots organisations and clubs are working to find, nurture and develop future grassroots stars.

Thank you to Ridiwaan Williams for the picture. Picture: Lundi Mbane standing on extreme left hand side.

PROFILES OF GRASSROOTS CRICKET WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS

After hosts South Africa won the inagural International Masters Cricket Over 40s World Cup, the spotlight has been thrown on the success of grassroots cricket players in the tournament, and it once again highlights the vitally important roles that grassroots level clubs and organisations make in helping to mould and nurture, new potential cricketing stars.

Here we have Abdul Aziz Temoor (second from right) and his story about his love for cricket, no matter what!

"I played primary school cricket at strand moslem , high school at Strand secondary , there were social clubs like yellow roses,broadlands,calypso, barbados & carnations ,i played for barbado's and eventually joined HHCC at the age of 14. Oh yes and pat cricket we use to learn hifs and spend hole day everyday at the school/ masjid premises.the principal at that time mr sedick fanie banned us from playing on the premises but it didnt stop us . we got 6 of the best every morning in his office haha so ya thats what i was willing to take for cricket 😆 A GOOD OLD HIDING" .

Now that's passion, committment and a love for cricket! Something Howzattt Cricket hopes to develop - a love for, and desire to play cricket. Who knows where the next cricketing star could emerge from?

Since 2011 Cricket Without Borders has been providing unbridled experiences for young women playing the game of cricket and in that time we have been very fortunate to have had some very supportive and loyal commercial partners who have greatly assisted in retaining costs at a manageable level for all of our participant players.

We are now planning for our next tour (our tenth!) to Malaysia in July this year and we are seeking a new major partner(s) to join with supporting partners Woomargama Station, Hoyle Da Silva Lawyers,Upali's Melbourne, Spark Grips and Top Caps to help keep costs down for our players.

We have a number of assets where we can provide exposure for your brand and would welcome the opportunity for a discussion with any business that might like to become involved in assisting a small not for profit sporting organisation that continues to provide opportunities for young women who not only love the game of cricket but who also make valuable contributions to the communities we visit on our tours.

Please feel free to message us if you would like a further discussion or information.

This one is a keeper.

The Chappell Foundation is delighted to announce that Adam Gilchrist will be guest speaker at the celebrated and highly anticipated Chappell Foundation Annual Dinner on May 15 at the SCG.

Adam needs neither introduction nor explanation, he was a wicket keeper with such explosive batting skills that he set the template for what teams expect from their glovemen ever since.

A great man, a great of the game and a great storyteller.

Andrew Sincock’s role as head of the AIS Cricket Academy in the early 1990s saw him oversee revolutionary changes in coaching and professionalism

Andrew Sincock was aged 15 and about to start Year 11 at King's College (now Pembroke School) when he first opened the bowling for Kensington in Adelaide grade cricket, where his maiden wickets were future Test opener Ashley Woodcock and Australia captain-in-waiting Ian Chappell.

Twenty five years later, Sincock took over as head coach at the Australian Institute of Sport Cricket Academy tutoring a cohort that included Justin Langer, Damien Martyn, Greg Blewett and Shane Warne where he pioneered advances in training and technology that continue to shape cricket today.

Stumps - summary of St George District Cricket Club for Round 16 of the 2023-24 NSW Premier Cricket season

St George 3/290 (M Rodgers 96, K Patterson 64no, B Macdonald 56, N Stapleton 41no, E Pollock 32) Defeated Hawkesbury 6 (dec) 288 (R Macmillan 3/104, L Bartier 2/44, J Moors 1/59)

After the previous loss, the team were keen for a solid effort leading into the finals. We welcomed back Raf Macmillan and Blake Macdonald but were resting Jonathan Craig-Dobson and of course Blake Nikitaras was in the NSW Team. We definitely were going into this game a little down on fire power but having 3 spinners certainly was an asset on what was a real road of a pitch.

Congratulations to Manly Warringah District Cricket for winning the Club Championship in both the Men’s and Women’s NSW Premier Cricket 2023-24 season. A terrific effort by all involved on and off the field.

To win the men’s club championship by 232 is quite incredible.

The points awarded for the Club Championships are a multiple of the points gained from each game in all 5 grades plus the Poidevin Gray and Green Shield games.

First Grade – the points from each game multiplied by 6.
Second Grade – multiplied by 5.
Third Grade – multiplied by 4.
Fouth Grade – multiplied by 3.
Fifth Grade – multiplied by 2.
Poidevin Gray – multiplied by 4.
Green Shield – multiplied by 2.

As you can see the higher grades receive more points, so I wanted to dig a little deeper to establish how dominate Manly have been across the 5 grades in the preliminary rounds of the 2023-24.

In the 5 Grades, not including the First Grade T20, Poidevin Gray and Green Shield competitions, Manly have played 79 games and won 60 with a winning percentage of 75.9%.

The next best is St George District Cricket club winning 54 games with a winning percentage of 68.3%.

Here are the number of wins for each club in 2023-24 in the 5 grades in Men’s NSW Premier Cricket

Manly – 60
St George – 54
Parramatta 52
NDs - 50
Wests - 47
Sydney Uni - 46
Easts - 44
Gordon - 42
Bankstown- 42
North Sydney - 38
Sutherland- 34
Penrith - 31
UNSW - 28
Campbelltown- 27
Sydney - 26
Fairfield - 25
Randwick Petersham - 25
Mosman - 25
Blacktown- 21
Hawkesbury- 14

It’s worth noting Manly won the Green Shield Premiership and finished on top of Pool A in the Poidevin Gray competition but lost to Randwick Petersham in the quarter final.

A mighty season by Manly, the benchmark for all to consider and reflect on.

Best wishes to all teams in the 5 grades who have made the semi-finals. Semi-finals and finals cricket is so much more fun, so enjoy and embrace the challenge and opportunities.

David Lowery - captain and opening bat for the Rangers - constructed a composed 60-run innings from 92 deliveries, before Lachlan Shaw, who had already scored a century and three fifties in the one-day competition, notched a superb ton.

The NSW Blues contracted rookie plundered 117 runs from just 114 balls, including six fours and three maximums, to propel the visitors to 6/252 from 50 overs.
