Programme Book 2015

Foreword It once again gives me great pleasure to welcome you all – schools, teachers, pupils, host clubs and officials – to the Bilingual Schools’ Cricket Challenge. Since the programme started in 2012, more than 3500 pupils from 41 schools have become acquainted with one of the world’s most popular team games, and nearly 750 of them have taken part in at least one tournament. Having been present at almost all of them I have seen first-hand the enthusiasm with which the boys and girls tackle the challenge of an unfamiliar sport, and the enjoyment which they gain from the experience. As always, the list of participating schools includes many old friends and a number of new ones. This year’s newcomers include two schools in Den Haag, one of the traditional centres of Dutch cricket and home of current national champions Quick Haag, and others in Zwolle, Capelle a/d IJssel, Asten and Doorwerth. All told, nine of the twelve provinces are represented: the Cricket Challenge is a truly national enterprise, and we greatly value the co-operation with the European Platform – Internationalising Education which makes it possible. The skills required to play any form of cricket well are very demanding, and the success of the Challenge is dependent upon the commitment and enthusiasm of the many PE teachers who have themselves had to come to terms with a sport which is new to most of them. It was from a group of teachers that the idea of a cricket programme originally came, and their partnership with coaches from the KNCB and its member clubs is a key element in the enterprise. One of the attractions of cricket is that it is more than just a game: its culture is embedded across the English-speaking world, from Britain and the Caribbean to the Indian Sub-continent and beyond to Australia and New Zealand. Wherever in that world the alumni of the Dutch bilingual schools may find themselves in the future, their awareness of the sport will give them a valuable point of contact. Cricket greatly enriches both the curriculum of the schools and the experience of their pupils. Phase 2 of the KNCB’s Youth Plan, covering the period 2014-2018, confirms the importance of schools projects like the Cricket Challenge in spreading awareness of the game and working towards our target of a 50% increase in youth playing numbers by the end of this period. Our proposals include new competitions to encourage pupils who enjoy these tournaments to take the game up more seriously. For those who do so, cricket will repay their efforts generously, in mastery of the skills, in understanding of the game’s tactical subtleties, in hours (yes, many hours!) of enjoyment on and off the field, and above all, in the lifelong friendships which will develop. On behalf of the KNCB, it gives me the greatest pleasure to welcome you all, both the old hands and the newcomers, to the Cricket Challenge, and to wish you good weather and much enjoyment of our wonderful sport.

Arrive and change Opening Clinics for pupils Scoring session for teachers (in the case of tournaments with 9-10 participating teams, matches start at 10.30) Round 1 matches Lunch Round 2 matches Round 3 matches Round 4 matches/Finals round Prize ceremony (time schedule varies in the case of tournaments with 9-10 participating teams.)
Before the start of the tournament at 10:00 all players must have changed into their sports kit. Coaches should report to the organisers before 10:00 to receive any last-minute instructions. Between 10:00 and 11:00 there will be a clinic session for all pupils, in which they will have an opportunity to practise the basic skills which they will need in the matches to follow: bowling (underarm at this stage), hitting the ball, catching, ground fielding and throwing. This clinic will be conducted by coaches provided by the KNCB. There will also be a short demonstration of the elements of the game, provided by the coaches at the conclusion of the clinic. In the event of rain, clinic programme may be cancelled to allow matches to be played as much as possible. Clinic programme will also be abandoned in the event of 9-10 participating teams per tournament, to allow all rounds of matches to be played. 5
During this period of clinics, the teachers will be given a short introductory or refresher course in the basics of a simple system of scoring the matches. Schools may wish to bring one or two pupils who are interested in the game but were not selected in the squad, who can then assist with the scoring during the tournament itself. In the first round of matches the score will be kept by volunteers from the host club; thereafter the teachers or pupils will be encouraged to take on this role more independently. Matches will be under the guidance of at least one umpire appointed by the KNCB. Each match will consist of two eight-over innings. Following the group phase each school will play against the team with the same ranking in the other group. The winners of the two groups will proceed to the national finals day, but they will also play off for the regional championship.
The regional champions in 2014 were: RSG Noord Oost Veluwe, Christelijk College Groevenbeek, Carmel College, Sondervick College, Maasland College, Rijnlands Lyceum (Oegstgeest), Schoonhovens College The winner of the Cricket Challenge 2014 was: Elde College, Schijndel.

List of key points
Each squad comprises ten players, eight of whom take part in any match. All players must be in Year 2 of a bilingual stream. Each team contains both boys and girls, including at least two of each sex. It is important that you bring your school’s own cricket equipment (plastic kwiksets: wickets and bats), including balls, to the tournament. Also: writing pad & pens. Ensure that your school’s equipment is clearly marked with an indelible pen. Pupils and teachers need to bring their own lunch. As far as possible, leave valuables at home (the dressing-rooms will not be locked, and it may be that two schools will be sharing one dressing-room). Ensure that your team wears a readily-identifiable uniform (this can be your school’s football strip or other team kit). During the morning clinic session it is expected that teachers will assist the coaches provided by the KNCB and/or host club (except when they are taking part in the scoring session). On arrival please report to the organisers’ table. We will be guests at all venues; please ensure therefore that the facility remains tidy! Please read the Rules, p. 12.

Cricket Challenge 2014: Rules
Playing Area 1. The pitch shall be 17m long. 2. The striker’s popping crease and the non-striker’s crease shall be indicated. 3. An inner zone shall be marked with flat cones, with two arcs measured 10 yards (9.15m) from the middle stump at each end joined by straight lines parallel to the pitch. Gear Plastic kwiksets: wickets and bats, windballs. Teams 1. Each team shall comprise eight players. Squads may include up to two additional players as reserves. 2. A captain is appointed for each team. The captain, in consultation with teammates, is responsible for field placements and order of batting. 3. A team shall include at least two girls and two boys in each match. 4. All squads must be enrolled in the school’s bilingual programme and must bring their school pass to the tournament. Batting 1. A team’s innings consists of eight six-ball overs. 2. Players shall bat in pairs, with each pair receiving two overs. 3. Batters change ends at the completion of each over, and if a batter is out. 4. LBW may only be given if a batter deliberately blocks the ball with his or her body to prevent it hitting the wicket. 5. The batter must keep hold of the bat when playing a shot, or the ball shall immediately be called ‘dead’ and no runs may be scored. Bowling 1. All the overs shall be bowled from one end. 2. A. In the regional tournaments all bowling shall be under-arm. B. In the national final tournament bowling shall be over-arm, but up to three bowlers shall be permitted to bowl under-arm. C. In both cases Law 24.6 (Ball bouncing more than twice or rolling along the ground) shall be strictly enforced, and any such delivery shall be deemed a no ball. 3. One member of the team shall be permitted to bowl two overs, with the remaining players limited to one over each (i.e. a team may include a specialist wicket-keeper). 4. If a bowler delivers a wide or no ball, no additional ball shall be bowled, but two extras shall be scored. 5. In the final over of the innings, an additional ball shall be bowled for any wide or no ball. The wide or no ball shall be scored one extra. If this delivery is also a 10
wide or no ball, the ball shall be called ‘dead’, and two extras shall be scored. Fielding 1. Fielders, except for the bowler and wicketkeeper, must start outside the inner zone and may only enter that zone as after the batter hits the ball or the ball passes the batter. 2. If a fielder attempts a run out and the ball hits the stumps that ball is called ‘dead’ and no further runs may be scored. Scoring 1. Each team’s innings shall commence with a total of 200 runs. Any runs and extras scored shall be added to this total, while for each dismissal of the batter five runs shall be deducted. 2. Batters may run on any ball whether it is hit or not. Batters score runs by running between the striker’s popping crease and the non-striker’s crease (score one for each completed run). 3. If the ball is struck outside the inner zone one run is scored in addition to any completed runs by the batters. 4. Fours and sixes are scored as in other forms of cricket. In this case no other run is scored, including the zone score. 5. Each team shall provide a scorer to record the scores on the sheet provided. The scorer may not take part of the match, but may be one of the non-playing reserves. Rain 1. In the event of rain, the umpires of the matches shall consult whether the match will be reduced to five six-ball overs per innings, prior to the start of the matches. The umpires shall consult the current rain forecast on www.buienradar.nl. 2. Should this be impossible to play, the result shall be decided by a bowl-out, with all eight players bowling one delivery at an undefended wicket. The team which hits the stumps most times shall be the winner. Should the score be level after eight deliveries, the bowl-out will continue until there is a winner. Conclusion In all other aspects, the Law of Cricket shall apply.
Language The communication medium throughout all tournaments shall be English.
