INTERVIEW 

6 Two captains on a strip 

Interview with Tonny Staal & Hidde Overdijk 

HIGHLIGHTED 

They are sworn friends, classmates and 

made their maiden century on the same 

day. As captain and vice captain, they carry 

a big responsibility when they lead the 

13-man squad both on and off the cricket 

field. Knabbel and Babbel have their say...

a second life! 

A report by Rod Lyall, CricketEurope 

In June 2011, the Zuid Afrika Sport 

campaign towards the cricket tour to 

South Africa was launched. The aim of 

the initiative is to fill a container with 

surplus sports equipment and to send 

it to Cape Town early next year to be 

used by less-privileged children there. 

BAIE DANKIE… 

Die toer na Suid-Afrika in 2012 word ‘n krieket belewenis wat die spelers, 

sowel as die begeleiers, verewig sal bybly. ‘n Onvergeetlike ervaring 

dus, waarvan hulle nagasate seker sal hoor. Om hierdie rede is ons dan 

ook innig dankbaar aan die vele mense wat hierdie toer ‘n werklikheid 

maak. Ons vind het juis daarom toepaslik om al die persone wat ons so 

fantasties ondersteun en bygestaan het, in Afrikaans te bedank. 

Diegene wat die Suid-Afrika Sport projek moontlik maak: Fred 

Beekman (DBN), die familie Rijkens (Stichting World Child Fund), 

Willem Velthoven (Stills) en die Besigheidsklub van De Groote 

Haagsche. Sonder hul ondersteuning was dit onmoontlik om die projek 

op so ’n groot skaal suksesvol uit te voer.

Life lessons 

JEROEN SMITS 

The wait is almost over, and it’s time to find out where you really stand as a team. 

You’ve been dominating the Dutch leagues in the last couple of years, but now you 

will experience cricket in a totally different culture and in a country where cricket is 

one of the main sports. 

And what a country! October 

1992… it feels like yesterday. As 

a 20-year old, it was the first time 

to really be away from my parents. To a 

country what – to say the least – at that 

stage was unstable but as a cricket nation 

the top of the world. 

Smits catching Tendulkar during CWC 2003 

It took me only a few days to settle and 

I can now easily say that year made me 

not only into a useful cricketer, but the 

lessons of life I have learned in those 

months made me the person that I am 

nowadays. It opened my eyes and it 

made me realize there was more in the 

world than our safe environment of 

Benoordenhout and HCC. 

The competition for places in a team is 

totally different to us, mainly because of 

the amount of talented players in South 

Africa. You only get one chance and 

probably that’s not only the case in 

cricket. When I played a full South 

African summer in its premier league with 

reasonable successes, it gave me enough 

confidence and belief to try to reach the 

next level. 

Not just for that reason it was fantastic to 

return in 2003 for the big Cricket World 

Cup and to catch up with old friends. The 

dedication, hospitality, friendliness and 

above all the great spirit from all the South 

Africans is something I will never forget. 

I sincerely hope you will all experience the 

same as I experienced in 1992 and most 

of you will return to ‘SA’ in 2022 for another 

Cricket World Cup. It’s time now for 

all of you to enjoy every minute and look 

back on this trip as the best time of your 

lifes. I am sure you will all benefit from it!

Two captains on a strip: 

Tonny Staal & Hidde Overdijk 

An interview by JACOB-JAN ESMEIJER 

They are sworn friends, they are 

classmates, they even made their 

maiden century on the same day in 

2011 and they love sending Tweets and 

playing a game of FIFA on any console. 

No wonder the nicknames Knabbel and 

Babbel (the Dutch version of Chip and 

Dale) were given to them… But there is 

a huge responsibility for the captain and 

vice captain ahead when they lead the 13man 

squad both on and off the Capetonian 

cricket fields. “Fun, everlasting friendship 

and playing some proper cricket are our 

team objectives.” 

It will be a massive experience in their 

early years as HCC cricket players to be 

away from home to play the best game in 

the world. Under totally different circumstances, 

that is. “In Holland, we’re used 

to play on artificial strips. It’s a different 

game than playing on turf”, says captain 

Staal (15). “Not all Dutch clubs have 

turf wickets. But when we play on grass, 

batsmen will play of the front foot most 

of the times. That will be a different story 

in Cape Town where fierce bowling and 

rock hard strips will tell us that the game 

is a different league in a country where 

cricket is one of the main sports. A great 

challenge for the entire team facing some 

genuine pace under a blistering sun! Our 

cricket can only improve in the two weeks 

of cricket that’s ahead of us.” 

Vice captain Overdijk, also 15 years of 

age, adds: “We are very united team. 

We know each other through and 


Tonny Hidde 

through. Not only during the soccer 

season we see each other a lot, but also 

in our free time we catch up and enjoy 

each other’s company. Our strengths are 

definitely the good atmosphere and the 

will to win. We aim to win every match 

we play and we have all the artillery 

to do so. But playing school and club 

teams in South Africa will be a real tough 

challenge. They play cricket as soon as 

they’re able to walk, and in Holland it’s 

the soccer ball that’s dominant. It’s going 

to be a test of character as well: how 

will our bowlers reply when a batsman 

takes him on? Or when a batsman scores 

less runs then he is used to? At these 

moments, a captain a vice captain should 

help teammates out and motivate them. 

Therefore, the tour will then be more 

than ‘just’ cricket.” 

“We became Holland’s U15 champions 

last year, which was the icing on 

our cricketing cake”, Tonny adds. “But 

playing a local Dutch team or a South 

African club team is a huge difference. 

We do have a well-balanced side with 

proper pacers as Floris de Lange and 

Douwe Schoemaker. As a spinner, Folkert 

Beerens has put a lot of effort in his 

bowling and has had a great season! 

Daniel Trijzelaar, Pieter de Buck, Hidde 

and I hope to be able to contribute with 

the bat. Laurens Jan Lagas is very experienced 

with the gloves. But also to other 

players will do the talking with either 

bat or ball. I prefer to bat first when we 

win the toss, but it also depends on the 

weather and the strip we’ll play on.” 

It goes without saying that ‘Knabbel & 

Babbel’ as well as the rest of the touring 

squad are counting the days before 

they finally jump on that plane to South 

Africa. Tonny: “It’s going to be a massive 

experience, and I think that I can speak 

for all my team mates that we feel very 

privileged being part of this tour. I hope 

it will make us realize that not everything 

in life is as logical as it seems. We hope 

that with the special Zuid Afrika Sport 

container project, we’ve been able to do 

something back for our fellow sporting 

friends in the Cape region.”

Operation Croissant a huge success 

WHAT A FRENCH ROLL CAN DO TO YOUR CRICKET… 

At the beginning of last season, the 

current U16 team came together 

and went through various topics 

that would bring them the title at the 

end of the 2011 season. What are your 

personal objectives? Want do you want to 

achieve? How does for example nutritious 

food contribute to your performances? 

Or are you happy by going through the 

motions and make it a mediocre season? 

In other words: do you want to be some 

half-baked bread, or a genuine ‘croissant’ 

(in French, la croissance means growth)? 

The French roll became the metaphor for 

the season. 

The players did everything they could in 

order to make things happen. Winter trainings 

were well visited, they worked hard 

and the hunger for the red leather grew by 

�� 

�� 

�� 

�� 

the day. HCC club coach Rasheed Lewis 

was impressed when he arrived in Holland. 

“I don’t know, but they’re definitely something 

different about this team. They’re 

organized, punctual and hungry… Great to 

see.” The result at the end of the national 

competition was the silverware, as the 

front cove of this magazine shows you! 

And successes should be celebrated with 

everyone. That’s why all players got a tin of 

croissant dough to bake their parents some 

tasty croissants on a Sunday morning. In 

the end, the parents have been of great 

value to their son’s achieved successes. 

And to make sure all players did prepare 

za French rolls, a photo was a compulsory 

proof (…or it never took place). 

Operation Croissant was a success. Mission 

accomplished.

Sports clothing deserve a second life! 

A REPORT BY ROD LYALL, EDITOR WITH CRICKETEUROPE 

There was a party atmosphere at De Diepput on Tuesday afternoon 14 June 2011 as 

the combined sports club Koninklijke HC&VV launched its ‘Zuid Afrika Sport’ campaign 

towards the 2012 cricket tour to South Africa. 

The aim of the initiative is to fill a container 

with surplus sports equipment and to 

send it to South Africa to be used by lessprivileged 

children there. The campaign 

is linked to the U16 cricket tour to South 

Africa, which will take place at the same 

time that the container is due to arrive. 

Enlivened by the presence of a samba band 

and an enthusiastic bunch of HCC’s junior 

cricketers, the launch included HCC and 


former Dutch international captain Jeroen 

Smits bowling a ball into the empty container. 

This was followed by a football, kicked 

by former HVV star Derick Mekking. 

Smits also presented the chairman of 

the appeal committee, Fred Staal, with a 

unique and evocative item, the shirt he 

wore as he led the Netherlands to their 

remarkable victory over England at Lord’s 

in the 2010 World Twenty20 tournament. 

The formal inauguration was followed by 

coaching sessions for the youth players, 

led by New Zealand overseas pro Dean 

Brownlie, Dutch international Tom de 

Grooth, and by HCC’s South African 

contingent, Stephan Myburgh. 

Fred Staal is very clear about the pressing 

need for sports clothing and equipment in 

South Africa. The massive economic and 

social inequalities, which existed under 

apartheid, cannot be eliminated within 

one generation, and huge numbers of 

children have limited opportunities to take 

part in organised sport. 

“The idea is that our youth players themselves 

take the initiative in this project,” 

Staal says, “with the assistance of their 

parents where necessary. In that way, 

we aim not only to help young people in 

South Africa, but also to raise the social 

awareness of our members.” 

Staal hopes that other clubs will join in 

the appeal by donating clothing and 

equipment for a range of sports. That 

includes just about anything apart from 

Alpine skiing, although he does not rule 

out water skis. 

The container, donated by sponsors Van 

Weelde Shipping, will be housed at De

Diepput in the coming months, and will 

be open for donations between 16:00 and 

17:00 every Friday. Staal’s son Tonny is 

captain of the touring side that will, it is 

hoped, hand over the materiel from the 

container in South Africa next year. The 

tour will be his first experience of cricket 

outside Europe, although he has been on 

Dutch Lions tours to England. 

“I know it will be very different, and a real 

challenge. The weather and the playing 

conditions will be different, and the 

approach of our South African opponents 

will be different as well. Playing on turf 

pitches will be a novelty in itself, and 

we’ll learn a lot about the South African 

approach to the game, and about how it 

feels to play in a country where cricket is a 

majority sport.” 

The HCC side will play against school 

teams in various parts of the country, 

and the programme will include a match 

against a national development squad, 

which may well prove to be their most 

testing challenge. 

Dutch teams have been involved in social 

programmes in the past: the 2009 na- 

tional side, warming up for the World Cup 

qualifier, ran a coaching session at the 

township of Khayalitsha, near Cape Town, 

and HCC’s own exchange programme, 

launched last year, had as one of its goals 

the provision of opportunities for young 

South African cricketers to gain experience 

in Europe. 

But this campaign is something different, 

and the Den Haag club and its sponsors 

deserve full support from the Dutch 

cricketing community.

The Royal Hague Cricket Club: 

a brief history 

Established in 1878, it was HCC that took the initiative five years later in forming the 

Nederlandsche Cricket Bond (Dutch Cricket Association). By this time, the club had 

already pioneered international cricket - 22 of HCC taking on an Uxbridge XI in 1881 - 

but losing by an innings and 48 runs. 

The club won the first-ever national tournament in August 

1884 retaining their title the following year and again in 

1886. These early matches were played on the Malieveld 

(near The Hague Central Station) but in 1898 the club moved to 

De Diepput, the complex in the Van Hogenhoucklaan which it has 

shared with HVV, its footballing sister-club, ever since. The ground 

was rented at first, but was purchased outright by the club in 1947. 

HCC did not take part in the inaugural season of the Dutch league 

in 1891, but joined the following year, finishing third. They won 

for the first time in 1895, and from about 1910 onwards they 

were without question the dominant team in the competition, 

winning twelve championships in eighteen years (including 

five in a row between 1919 and 1923). The club was so strong 

that from 1925, the Second XI was also a regular participant of 

the top division, taking the title for the first time in 1928 and 

retaining it the following year. Key players in the years leading up 

to World War II included Tonnie de Beus, Auk Schill, Willem van 

den Bosch, Jan Koeleman and Leen Sodderland. 

The club remained strong after the Second World War, and 

between them the first and second teams won twelve national 

titles in the fourteen years between 1955 and 1968, missing 

out only in 1962 and 1965. The mainstays of these sides 

included wicketkeeper-batsman Rob Colthoff, Peter van Arkel, 

Loutje de Villeneuve, Ernst Vriens and Koos van Staaij. Through 

much of this period, HCC regularly provided the nucleus of the 

Dutch national side. 

Gradually, though, the balance shifted. And although there were 

further successes for HCC 1 in 1972, 1976 and 1985 and for 

Photo: Daan Rhijnsburger 

national champions 1884 national champions 2008 


HCC 2 in 1973, the club was much less dominant than it had 

been up to the 1970s, despite the presence in the side of internationals 

like Auke Smits and Peter Entrop. The Second XI dropped 

down to the Tweede Klasse, and for the first time in the club’s 

history, HCC 1 joined them in 1993. After two seasons, however, 

HCC returned to the top flight under the leadership of Jeroen 

Smits, and in 2008 the club claimed its first national title for more 

than twenty years, crowning the feat by completing the double 

of championship and Twenty20 Cup. In that winning team, (former) 

Dutch internationals like Feiko Kloppenburg, Bernard Loots, 

Jacob-Jan Esmeijer, Tom de Grooth, Mark Jonkman and Stephan 

Myburgh played a contributing role. 

Great names have represented HCC in the past such as Gary 

Kirsten (current SA coach), Chris Pringle (NZ), Simon Doull (NZ), 

Neil McKenzie (South Africa, Highveld Lions and Hampshire 

CCC), Johann Myburgh (Nothern Titans, Hampshire CCC), Chris 

Nevin (NZ) and Dean Brownlie (NZ Twenty20).

Die konneksie met Holland 

The Dutch relation to South Africa commenced in 1652, 

when Jan van Riebeeck arrived in Table Bay with his 

three ships: De Reiger, De Drommedaris and De Goede 

Hoop. His mission was to establish a supply station on behalf of 

the Dutch East India Company (the ‘Verenigde Oost-Indische 

Company’, shortened to VOC), where fresh produce was to be 

cultivated to supply the ships passing through. 

Originally, the VOC did not intend to establish a colony at the 

Cape, but it committed itself when it gave nine Company servants 

their freedom in 1657 to establish private farms in the Rondebosch 

area below the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. This was done in 

an attempt to combat a wheat shortage at the time. 

When Simon van der Stel became the new governor in 1679, 

around twenty settlers were granted land beyond the dunes in the 

area that is today known as Stellenbosch. The population at the 

Cape grew even larger as the granting of property to private citizens 

encouraged the immigration of women to the area and servants 

and seamen were recruited from the hinterlands of Europe. 

During the early years of the Dutch occupation, the focus was 

primarily on agriculture. With the growth of the population, 

more and more people started cultivating agricultural products, 

which, before long, resulted in a surplus of products such as 

wine, wheat and vegetables. This overproduction of agricultural 

products forced the free citizens to explore other avenues, such 

as stock farming. 

Soon the stock farmers began to move deeper into the interior 

in their search for better grazing. Young men married and set up their own farms and the resultant large families caused the 

number of stock farmers to increase rapidly. The lack of sufficient 

space for proper stock farming prompted the farmers to pack 

their possessions into their ox wagons and move deeper into the 

interior. The migrant farmer – the Trekboer – was born. 

Until 1750, there was nothing to prevent the Trekboers from 

advancing into the interior. There was plenty of water in the 

interior and they employed Khoi people to tend to the cattle. 

However, the VOC became worried about the Trekboers moving 

so far because it became difficult to exercise any authority over 

them. In order to maintain its authority, the VOC was forced to 

follow in their tracks. This constant moving also resulted in the 

VOC having to continually change the boundaries of the eastern 

frontier of the colony. Eventually, in 1778, the Great Fish River 

became the eastern frontier. 

Apart from an intriguing three-century history, the Dutch influence 

in South Africa can nowadays still be experienced in various 

ways. Not only areas with their Cape Dutch architecture, cities 

with typical names such as Dordrecht and Middelburg but also 

Afrikaner words such as boontjie (‘boon’, bean), hysbakkie (‘lift’, 

elevator) and apteek (‘apotheek’, pharmacy) indirectly derive 

from the Dutch influence that started 360 years ago.
