TASMANIAN CRICKET ASSOCIATION Tasmanian cricket entered a new era at Bellerive Oval on 11 January, with the official opening of the redeveloped ground. The re-opening of the ground coincided with Australia’s VB Series match against England – the first fully pre-sold match at Bellerive Oval. In state competitions the Tigers could not repeat their 2001-02 Pura Cup performances, finishing down the competition ladder. However, under state coach Brian McFadyen, there were several positives from the cricket year. State captain and Australian one-day international skipper Ricky Ponting continued Tasmania’s representation at the elite level, leading the nation to its third World Cup title and taking out the Test Player of the Year award at the Allan Border Medal presentation. Shane Watson also played a significant role in the Australian one-day international side before injury cut short his World Cup ambitions. Medium-pacer Damien Wright toured South Africa with the Australia A side in September, also playing in the home series against the Proteas in April. At domestic level, Daniel Marsh claimed the inaugural ING Cup All-Rounder of the Year award, presented for the first time in 2002-03. Marsh has been appointed vice-captain of the Tigers for next season after Jamie Cox stood down from the position. Cox will continue to play for Tasmania. Prolific run-scorer Michael Di Venuto played his 100th first-class match for Tasmania in the last game of the season at Adelaide Oval. Tasmania’s Cricket Australia Cup team performed strongly, finishing in fourth place on percentage only. Andrew Downton finished as the competition’s leading wicket-taker with 25 scalps. At under-age level, Luke Butterworth was named in Australia’s under-19 side, while Gordon Kerr gained selection in the Australian under-17 development squad. Women’s cricket in Tasmania continues to make progress. Bellerive Oval will next year host a women’s one-day international fixture as part of Australia’s Rose Bowl series against New Zealand on 27 February 2004. Veronica Pyke gained selection in the Australian Youth side – the Commonwealth Bank Shooting Stars – for 2003-04, while Tasmania recorded the highest representation in Australia for the girl’s pilot game development program – CricHit. At board level, Tony Harrison became the Tasmanian-elected Director on the Cricket Australia Board in October, following the retirement of Denis Rogers AO. Local brewery Cascade continued as major sponsor of the Tasmanian Cricket Association.

CRICKET VICTORIA Victorian cricket enjoyed an exciting year, highlighted by several milestones both on and off the field. Former Australian batsman David Hookes assumed the Bushrangers ‘coaching reins, with former Tasmanian state coach Greg Shipperd appointed as his assistant. New South Wales batsman Graeme Rummans also joined the Victorian squad. The recruiting paid dividends, as the Bushrangers improved on its Pura Cup performance from 2001- 02, finishing in third place on 36 points – the same number as eventual champions, New South Wales – with four outright victories during the season. The year saw veteran wicket-keeper Darren Berry – named as Pura Cup captain for next season – break Dean Jones’ all-time games record for Victoria (124 matches). Jonathon Moss was named the inaugural WM Lawry Medal winner for the Pura Cup Player of the Season, while Brad Hodge claimed the DM Jones Medal for the ING Cup Player of the Year. Young fast-bowler Rob Cassell, a member of Australia’s victorious under-19 World Cup side in 2002, was awarded the Robert Rose Scholarship for the Young Cricketer of the Year. Women’s cricket also delivered its share of milestones for the state. Victoria Spirit won the Women’s National Cricket League, ending New South Wales’ six-year grip on the title. Captain Belinda Clark was named Player of the Finals. The Spirit’s win was also recognised by VicSport, the side claiming the award for Women’s Team of the Year. Victorian success also followed at under-age level, with Victoria’s under-19 side winning the Commonwealth Bank Under-19 Championship Series in Canberra and the under-15 side winning the Australian Schoolboys Cricket Championships. The strong performances of Adam Crosthwaite, Matthew Gale and Matthew Harrison at the under-19 championships earned the trio selection in the Australian Under-19 team. The state’s under-17 sides almost completed an under-age dominance for Victoria, finishing second in the Commonwealth Bank Under-17 Championship and the Betty Butcher Shield. Off-field, the year was also filled with a number of highlights. Redevelopment of the Melbourne Cricket Ground commenced, with the re-modelled venue set to provide Victorian cricket with state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor training facilities. The ground’s building works didn’t, however, deter Victorian cricket fans from attending international fixtures, with more than 177,000 people passing through the gates during the Melbourne Test which began on Boxing Day. Cricket Victoria commenced two new partnerships during the year: a two-year trial integration with the Victorian Women's Cricket Association and a three-year agreement with VicHealth through the Partnerships for Health Scheme. The organisation also appointed its first IT Manager.
