78 Cricket Wellington Umpires and Scorers Chairman’s Report To sum up the 2009/10 season in one word, would be ‘disappointing’. The weather in the first half of the season was very average and there was some unacceptable player behaviour with 17 code of conduct reports although not all were lodged by umpires. The percentage of captains reports on umpires was again disappointing even though it was still ahead of other associations. This season six of our members were on national umpiring panels and were appointed to New Zealand Cricket fixtures as follows: Evan Watkin (Elite Panel): 1 ODI, 1 Women’s Twenty20 International, 6 Plunket Shield matches, 6 Domestic Oneday games including both semifinals, 7 Mens domestic (HRV Cup) Twenty20 games, third umpire in 3 ODIs, 2 Twenty20 Internationals, the HRV Cup final and 1 Women’s Twenty20 International and fourth official in 2 ODIs and 1 Twenty20 International. Evan Gray (Elite Panel): 8 Plunket Shield matches, 7 Domestic One-day games, 5 HRV Cup Twenty20 games, third umpire in 2 HRV Cup games, Women’s Twenty20 final. Jeremy Busby (A Panel): 1 HRV Cup Twenty20 game, 5 Women’s League games, 2 Women’s League Twenty20 games, 1 Hawke Cup challenge. Kathy Cross (Reserve Panel): 6 Women’s League games, 3 Women’s League Twenty20 games and the Women’s Development Tournament. Rob Kinsey (Reserve Panel): 3 Women’s League games, 1 Women’s League Twenty20 game and games in the Gillette Cup Tournament. Grant McAlister (Reserve Panel): 2 Women’s League games, 1 Women’s League Twenty20 game and officiated at both the Under-17 and Gillette Cup tournaments. As a result of captain’s reports, the names of the following umpires have been forwarded to New Zealand Cricket to be considered for national panels or tournaments: Evan Watkin, Kathy Cross, Grant McAlister, Garth Stirrat, Jeremy Busby, Rob Kinsey, Peter Chapman, Bruce Jenkins, and Robert Dossett. All the other umpires who stood during the season are listed below in alphabetical order within their grades with several not being available for consideration for NZC panels or not being qualified. Grade 1 umpires must have passed the level 4 examination and have stood in at least 25 days of senior cricket, Grade 2 umpires are those with the level 3 examination and a minimum of 12 days of senior cricket and the remainder are in grade 3. Grade 1: David Abbott, David Brandon, Evan Gray. Grade 2: Peter Bidwell, Paul Devadatta, Ricky Jeffery, Gopal Reddy Kalicheti. Grade 3: Stu Bullen, Richard Conway, Paul Cummings, Mark Dijksma, Phil McMahon, Vincent Rosario, Nikki Sinclair. The following are the statistics for club cricket umpiring for the 2009/10 season with figures for the 2008/09 season in brackets for comparison: | Cricket Wellington Inc Annual Report There were 22 (27) active umpires and we averaged 14.79 (14.35) umpires per day. There were 24 (20) club playing days and we provided the following umpiring days: Pearce Cup: 186 (150), Hazlett Trophy: 158 (129), Senior Women 1 (0), Senior 2: 1 (0), Senior 3: 0 (7), 2A: 0 (1), TOTALS: 346 (287). In addition we provided umpires for many other fixtures under the jurisdiction of Cricket Wellington and some traditional College fixtures. Evan Watkin was awarded the Stanley Cowman Memorial Trophy as the umpire who received the highest average marks from captains during the club season. This award is also subject to the umpire being available for 12 club Saturdays during the season but which can include NZC commitments. The Brownie Watson Trophy for the most improved umpire was won by Peter Bidwell, and Paul Devadatta was awarded the Pop Calcinai Trophy for his services to the organisation in developing our own website and then ensuring it was kept up-to-date during the season. My thanks to our Secretary, Graeme Watson; Regional Training Officer, Jeremy Busby; Treasurer Rob Kinsey and Auditor, Roger Watkin. Thanks to all the other members of the CWUSI Management Board for their efforts over the season. Congratulations to Bill Sommer on his election as President of the New Zealand Cricket Umpires & Scorers Association and to Grant McAlister on his election to the Management Board of NZCUSA. As always, CWUSI needed assistance from many other sources during the season. First and foremost are the people who actually umpire and I thank the other 21 people who gave up their time to umpire during the season. Thanks also to Cricket Wellington for allowing us to use their training room at the Wellington School of Cricket in Westpac Stadium, to Gavin Larsen and all the staff at Cricket Wellington for their support and assistance during the season, and to Malcolm McCaw and the Norwood Trust for continuing to provide funding to send our delegates to the annual Umpires Conference. Sadly, two of our Life Members passed away during the year - Haig Whiting, the Patron of CWUSI, and Robert Bradley. (See obituaries) Evan Watkin Chairman
Overview NZ Cricket Museum All performance objectives as per the New Zealand Cricket Museum’s Business Plan 2009/10 were exceeded in the financial year, with new records achieved in most areas. The Museum truly flourished with a new annual record of 2,832 visitors being established, along with a record number of 37 school and community group visits being made. The Annual Survey results achieved new benchmarks in terms of visitors’ appraisals. There was a 100% visitor satisfaction rating (46% excellent, 40% very good, 14% good) for the fifth year in a row; and the Overall Quality ‘excellent’ rating was 80% (100% in total, as 20% regarded the overall quality as ‘good’). The annual target of 300 items accessioned into the Vernon Systems Collection Management database was exceeded with the final total reaching 407. Exhibitions The following three new exhibitions/displays were installed in 2009/10. 1. New Zealand Cricket 19th Century showcase display 2. A small promotional museum table-top display, and a small Victoria University Cricket Club table-top display were installed for 6 months at the Cable Car Museum 3. A wall-mounted display of the Heathcote Williams Shield and an updated Plunket Shield display panel Marketing The Museum web page established under the umbrella of New Zealand Cricket in 2004/05 went through a series of changes in 2008/09 following the redesign of the New Zealand Cricket website. These resulted in a reduced Museum profile. Regretfully, issues related to this were not addressed in 2009/10 and it is now hoped they will be addressed in the new financial year. However, there were still 17,341 hits in the 2009 calendar year. The two New Zealand Cricket Museum newsletters for 2009/10 were archived and linked to the NZCM page on the New Zealand Cricket web-site. The Museum produced two newsletters - the Winter/Spring and the Summer/Autumn editions in 2009/10, and they were distributed throughout the New Zealand first-class cricket network. The Museum is grateful for the continued funding support of Pub Charity in the production of these newsletters. There has also been a d v e r t i s i n g / m e d i a exposure through The Dominion Post, the Wellington Official Visitor Guide, Jason’s Wellington What’s On Guide, Capital Times, the National Programme, and Radio Sport. A new marketing feature was introduced with the Museum providing cricket trivia questions and answers sets to New Zealand Cricket for showing on replay screens at Test matches during the summer. There was also a successful stakeholders’ function in March. Museum Shop The Museum shop continued to provide a good profile for New Zealand Cricket, and a steady source of revenue for the Museum. New BLACKCAPS sale items were provided by Event Merchandise Services Ltd in December. Shop sales income exceeded the budget revenue target for the 2009/10 financial year. The Book Sale during the BLACKCAPS’ Test against Australia raised $1,383, which, along with other March sales, established a new monthly book sales record of $1,653. Education A greater focus given to group visits in 2009/10 resulted in 12 additional groups visiting, surpassing the previous record of 25 groups. A new development was the visit of students from the Wellington School of Cricket, which is to be established as part of an annual programme. A range of cricket heritage programmes were prepared to meet the needs and requirements of each group. A small number of researchers also used the resources of the Museum’s library. The Museum visitor survey results reveal that 74% of our visitors were from overseas, particularly England (44%). These visitors rate the Museum very highly and compare it more than favourably to other overseas cricket museums. The education/research value of exhibitions was rated as ‘excellent’ or ‘good’ by 95% of visitors.
