Future bright beyond the Test world

Posted on 06/28/2008 in Associates

Next week's ICC annual get-together promises to have more than its fair share of politicking, posturing and controversy. But, unless there is a major about-turn, it should also be a watershed for the Associates and Affiliates.

In 2009, income from the ICC's six-year media deal with ESPN-Star, worth over US$1 billion, kicks in, and while the game's big boys will still keep the lion's share, the rest will see substantial increases in their incomes.

Costa Rica win inaugural Easter Cup

Posted on 04/10/2008 in Costa Rica

Nicaragua acted as hosts for the first tri-nation tournament with visitors El Salvador and Costa Rica, who emerged winners. It was El Salvador’s second international tournament after their encouraging participation in the C.A. Championship last November and the first time in a long while (possibly ever) that Nicaragua, who came third, participated in an international cricket event. All teams hope this will be the first of many Easter Cups.

Illingworth stars in Costa Rica league

Posted on 03/07/2008 in Costa Rica

Costa Rica league saw a key match between CCCCR and Corsair. Corsairs needed to win in order to be tied with CCCCR at the top of the table. CCCCR batted first and were about 20 for 6 when Richard Illingworth and Shane Catford came together and put on 100. If it had not been for the local rule that you must retire on reaching 50, Richard might well have gone on to score his age. In spite of another 50 from Ben Smith, this stand proved decisive and CCCCR won by 30 runs. It was a distinguished effort by Richard Illingworth but Shane Catford was Man of the Match with his 50 and bowling of 4 for 3.

The research, carried out by the ICC's development program, was collated from 33 Associate and 58 Affiliate members. It showed that there were 338,051 male and female players in those countries in 2007, an increase of 49,158 on the previous year. Since 2002, when there were 144,047 participants, there has been a 135% rise.

Costa Rica side travel to Limon

Posted on 02/12/2008 in Costa Rica

CCCR travelled to Limon on January 13 where they were greeted by two charming representatives of the Mayor who had been invited by Limon CC. CCCR batted first on a beautiful day and made 144 for 5 in their 25 overs. Limon never recovered from a bad start, losing two wickets in the first over. After some spirited resistance they were all out in less than the allotted 25 overs. Limon CC arranged a good late lunch which was much appreciated. CCCR now lead the league.

In terms of development Richard Illingworth and Sam Arthur spent two days in the Limon area after the CCCR and Limon CC game. They covered a lot of ground, met many people and identified a number of opportunities.

Sam Arthur has started regular coaching sessions with Limon CC and has given a video presentation to the youngsters at Robleato.
