 A personal open letter from the Chairman
Monday 20th June 2011
Dear all
I am saddened and hurt by the attitude and behaviour of some people who have been trying to stir up trouble on the website following a protracted BCL Committee Meeting on Tuesday. The meeting went on for over three hours and committee members had long journeys home afterwards. The meeting was long because we discussed two disciplinary issues at great length and the committee weighed the evidence before us very carefully before decisions were reached. I can tell you that as Chairman I did not need to give a casting vote because the decisions made were unanimous. I wish to make it very clear that no one from Stoke Row CC took part in the item related to their match against West Reading.
I regret very much that the decisions found their way on to the website on Wednesday morning before the clubs had received them. The committee member concerned, though he did not post the information on the BCL website, realises that he made a very serious error of judgement and has apologised. I am minded to accept his apology on this occasion.
However, what I find unacceptable is that one or two people hiding behind the anonymity of the website wish to call in question the integrity of the committee and myself. All committee members are there for entirely altruistic reasons, we do not get paid and I can assure you we are not in it for the entertainment value. We are on the committee because we wish and we think the clubs wish to play in a well-organised and well-run league, one in which teams win, lose or draw, wish to observe the ‘Spirit of Cricket.’
When most players go home after a match, committee members have to be available to receive results and match reports; they have to have the results on the website by Sunday morning or questions are asked on the website; they spend an inordinate amount of time trying to decipher badly written results sheets and going back to clubs asking for information which has been left off; they organise representative cricket; they make sure the league’s finances are in good order; they make the arrangements so that clubs can apply for grants and loans to enhance their facilities; they organise the Dinner and Presentation Evening. They do all these things and more, often sacrificing home life and social life in order for your clubs to play cricket in a well-organised league.
I can assure you that when we hold committee meetings we hope not to have any disciplinary items to deal with, but when we do have disciplinary items we are determined to deal with them with an even hand and we hope clubs or individuals found guilty of offences will acknowledge our objectivity and concentrate their efforts on ensuring that they put their house in order. We are equally determined to discipline clubs which fail to play the game in the right way. I am at a loss to understand what possible pleasure can be derived from picking over the bones of other people’s misdemeanours or misfortunes often taking the opportunity to try to rub salt into the wound. All this does is make it more difficult for us to run the league properly.
I am very aware that the contents of this letter do not refer to the vast majority of clubs or their members, but I am asking you as League Contacts to make your members aware of the letter and its content and to ask your members to exercise caution in the comments they place on the Forum. Otherwise, some members and their clubs may find themselves charged with infringing the ‘Spirit of Cricket’. The Forums should not be used to make derogatory comments about the Committee, its members, the Chairman or any club or individual. My address, phone number and email are in the Handbook so if anyone wishes to make any comment about he BCL Committee please have the courage to do so direct to me.
I hope there will be no further occurrences of unsavoury and inflammatory comments on the website, and even more importantly, I hope there will be no need for the committee to discuss any disciplinary issues for the remainder of the season.
Yours sincerely
Sam Peates
League Chairman

 Do you want to take part in The British record for The Longest Cricket Match?
DSpriggs writes:
Mike Gatting, Chris Tarrant, Surrey CC and Everest Cricket Record Breakers Amongst the Players lining up for 60 hr Continuous Cricket Match Challenge Earlier this week England cricket legend Mike Gatting was at Lord’s to throw down the gauntlet to British cricketers to join him in breaking the British record for the longest continuous cricket match.
The challenge is to celebrate 60 years of charitable activity by The Lord’s Taverners. The Lord’s Taverners are a cricket based charity working to help children gain access to sport, especially those with disabilities or who are from a disadvantaged background. To accept the challenge on behalf of amateur cricketers everywhere was Richard Kirtley, Record Breaking leader of last year’s successful expedition to play cricket on Mount Everest. Both are now recruiting cricket enthusiasts to join them in what will be a tough test of endurance. Starting on Saturday July 17th at 8am, the cricketers will play day and night until 8pm the following Monday (19th July). The match will be taking place in the picturesque grounds of Wellington College in Berkshire. A festival atmosphere is expected with food-stalls, beer tents and children’s entertainment. Spectators are welcome at what will be a unique cricketing celebration in idyllic surroundings. The project aims to raise £25,000 for the Lord’s Taverners, whilst providing a fitting celebration of their 60th anniversary. Over the course of the weekend, players will be joined on the pitch by Mike Gatting, Chris Tarrant, representatives of the Surrey Cricket Club, with more to be confirmed. With the help of floodlights, the match will run continuously for a full 60 hours. There will be breaks for refreshments, but only in accordance with ECB Test Match rules. The format of the game will be 40 overs on, 40 overs off. Each team will have more than the 11 required to play a full format game. This will enable players to get a little food and rest when required. Both sides are recruiting players able to take on such a challenge. In order to be a part of this record attempt, all that is required is a commitment to raise £500 for the Lord’s Taverners. In return you will receive your place on a team, a branded playing shirt, accommodation for those rare moments of rest, food and refreshments, as well as being part of something truly special. Ex-Middlesex Captain and England great Mike Gatting said: ‘I want to lay down a challenge to cricketers all over Britain. Come and test your mettle with 60 hours of continuous cricket. I believe this is a physical challenge on par with running a marathon, and will be an achievement of which we can all be truly proud. By raising money for the Lord’s Taverners we will be doing a great deal of good in the process.’ Everest Test organiser and World Record holder Richard Kirtley said: ‘It’s a great honour to take up the challenge laid down by Mike Gatting on behalf of all amateur cricketers in the UK. The Lord’s Taverners is a great cause, and this a worthy challenge. Last year’s cricket match on Everest was a huge physical challenge, and this is set to be equally so. The strain on the body will be different, but anyone taking part in this will be able to be proud of their achievements. Come and join our team and be a part of something special.’ To be a part of this historic match please log onto http://www.lordstaverners.org/hit-for-60.htm for more details.

 Stoke Row Slump To New Low
dennis writes:
Date: 12th June, 2010.
Venue: Newlands Lane, Stoke Row.
Toss: Crown Wood won the toss and elected to bat.
Result: Stoke Row (8) lost to Crown Wood (35) by 37 runs.
Pitch: Very good. A touch of grass allowed some seam movement, but generally excellent for batting on.
Weather: Pleasantly warm with the occasional patch of cloud cover mixed with glorious sunshine.
Tea: A fine effort from Dion Sampson and Christopher Young that included a wide variety of rolls, pizza, savouries, fruit and ‘junk food’.
Highlights: Ali Malik’s match-winning performance (92 & 3-45), Timi Malik (3-43) and Rob Crook (3-48) also bowled well for Wood. Will Macdonald (3-49) and Darren Clark (3-64) were leading wicket-takers for Row, though Sam Fletcher was arguably the pick of the attack (11-2-28-2). Paddy Hennessy (51) and Fletcher (42) offered resistance.
Quote of the Match: ‘Is it just me, Will, or have you lost a lot of weight?’ Crown Wood captain John Cartledge to opposite number Will Macdonald in the 1st over of the Maharajas innings!
