Selsey Cricket Club, were extremely sad to hear that one of their former players , David Richardson, passed away recently, far to early .David  played for Selsey 1st X1 in the early 2000s for several years and captained us to win Division 3 in the Sussex Invitation League in 2003.

 He was a fine batsman, useful medium pace bowler and very astute captain, always getting the best from his players. He was highly regarded by his team mates not only as a player but also as a gentleman and his dry wit was second to none. Our thoughts are with his wife Sarah and his four children.
Rest in peace David and kept that elbow high and a straight bat, God bowls a wicked googly.
Thanks to Pete Amis for these words.

Congratulations to Martin Lee, getting on the Sussex batting Honours board

We are very sad to report of the death of Tommy “The Dog” Roberts, a social member of Selsey Cricket Club for many years.

Tommy got the nickname “the dog” from his Dog Sam who used to find lost cricket and footballs.

RIP Tommy

Update on new building. 9/11/2023

Work has continued on the project, Surveys, building reg. fire strategy etc have been undertaken and paid for.

A project manager is now in place Nathen Bennett, who has been a tremendous help.

Debs is still putting in for community funding bids.

If the money isn’t available to build the project in one go, we will split it into two phases,

phase 1. social area, toilets, kitchen area

Phase 2   new changing rooms.

Phase 1 can be split into 3 areas.

1 underground work, footings

2 roof structure

3 external and internal walls etc

We will get quotes for these areas, compare this against monies we hold, and decide on start date after Jan 24

If funding comes in after Jan 24, we may be able to progress with the whole project.

Chairman

Changes to laws of Cricket 2023

1) Safeguarding: Match officials have been invited to undertake the ECB online “Safeguarding” course that lasts around 30 minutes. Apparently it comes with a certificate that can be printed off but yours truly missed that facility. This does not mean that match officials have to be certain about potential concerns and/or investigate but they may be the first or only person to have identified a particular issue. The course identifies certain behavioural patterns either by under 18s’ or adults that may point to there being a safeguarding issue(s). It is strongly emphasised that it is everyone’s duty within cricket to record and report any such concerns to the relevant Safeguarding Officer. The link to the Safeguarding Induction course is below:

https://booking.ecb.co.uk/c/express/a58d56e4-1a99-4899-83d6-365d4c749493?5S,M3,a58d56e4-1a99-4899-83d6-365d4c749493=

2) Duckworth Lewis: Trevor provided a presentation of the DL app that will be used throughout the Sussex League this season. As I understand it the responsibility for running the app lies with the clubs and their scorers but umpires with smartphones may wish to download the app. What, of course, is clear is that umpires will need to provide and ensure source data and in particular the period of a suspension(s) in play is correctly inputted. Trevor emphasised that it may be best for umpires not to worry about “par” scores and agree beforehand with the scorers how DL information will be displayed.
More details about access to the programme will be circulated next week and our thanks go to Richard and Tom for their excellent work in this respect.
3) WSACO website: Please note the old SACO website that included a link to WSACO is out of date, dormant and will in due course be removed. Thanks to the hard endeavours of Richard P, the SACO and supporting associations are now included in the Sussex Cricket League website within the “Officials Corner” page. The link is below:
4) Penalty Runs: There have been several queries in relation to whether club umpires should or not be awarding penalty runs (other than the ball hitting the fielders helmet) and/or applying Level 1 etc sanctions in Sussex League matches. I understand that this issue has been raised with the League Executive and hopefully some definitive guidance will be produced in time for the season start. What is important is that in respect of unfair play and in particular player misconduct such instances should be reported to the League.
5) Ground, Weather & Light: Limited opportunity to discuss but the key point was that umpires must work as a team and that both must agree that conditions do not present an actual and foreseeable risk of injury to any player or umpire, otherwise play must be suspended or not (re)started. There is a useful “Directive” card for umpires that is worth reviewing when the weather forecast is potentially poor.
6) Player Management: Again limited time for discussion but the LEAD principle highlighted i.e. Listen, Empathise, Accept, Discussion Over, as well as being proactive rather than reactive and to work quietly with the captains to head off potential issues.
7) Concussion Protocol: A difficult subject, especially at Recreational cricket level where clubs may not have a Responsible Officer in attendance. Umpires have a duty of care and if they are concerned about the fitness of a player following a potential concussion incident then they should recommend that the player leaves the field of play for ongoing assessment.
8) Directive Cards: We understood that ECBACO as in previous years would send out direct to all their members the promised new set of Directive Cards. However, in this digital age they have just sent the cards to SACO for distribution who in turn will pass onto me. I will give it some thought over the weekend on how best to proceed and let you know.
9) Umpire Pathway: Many of you will have received recently an individual email from ECBACO about changes from grades to levels in the umpire pathway from 2023. In case you missed it I attach two documents that show the changes.
10) Summer Meetings: It was agreed that we hold a mid-season review meeting in July. To that end it would be helpful if you would let me know as they occur about any interesting, odd or just general issues for un-contributed discussion. Thanks. We will also try to arrange our usual get-together at Arundel Castle CC during one of their fixtures. Watch this space.
11) Law Changes: Lastly but not least “Law Changes” with some notes on the October 2022 amendments.
a) Already in place last season but to confirm if a batter is caught after crossing for a run the new batter goes to the striker’s end. No need therefore to make a decision about whether batters crossed or not but still relevant if catch dropped and something else happens e.g. overthrow going for four.
b) No more use of saliva on the ball with a 5 Penalty runs awarded under changing conditions of the ball. Use of sweat remains okay.
c) Dead ball now includes provision for a fielder being disadvantaged by outside inference e.g. dog running onto pitch. Call and signal “dead ball.” Decision to be made as to whether, without the outside interference, would the ball have gone to the boundary or not. In the former it is boundary four and in the latter award completed runs plus one more if batters had crossed at time of interference.
d) Important change with “dead ball” calls. The ball is now deemed to be “dead” when the incident occurs and not when the umpire calls “dead ball”.
e) On occasions a ball is bowled extremely wide. Provided the ball has not come to a stop the batter is entitled to attempt to hit the ball. The New Law limits how far a batter can travel to do so. The limit is the width of the whole pitch but extends to the batter only having to have some part of himself or equipment (e.g. bat) either landed or raised still within the pitch margins. If the batter strays completely off the pitch the umpire calls “dead ball” and then awards a “no ball”. If the batter does not move, or only partially, and you judge he or she would have had to leave the pitch to play the ball again it is a “no ball”, otherwise it would be a wide. A batter cannot manufacture a “no ball” or “dead ball” by stepping off the pitch. It remains the case that any ball that pitches off the wicket is called a “no ball”, irrespective of which direction the ball subsequently goes. Good luck with this change.
f) The batter has the right to know where the fielders are placed when the bowler starts his run up. The relevant law provided for either umpire to call “dead ball” if a fielder moved other than in a straight line towards the batter but now such occurrence comes with a 5 run penalty. Some at the meeting considered the penalty a bit harsh for a genuine realisation that a fielder forgot to move position e.g. right and left hander or WK stepping back a few paces!  Who said “umpiring” was easy and straightforward.
g) Law amended so a wide is applied from where the striker has stood any any point since the bowler started their run up. This is to take into account the more common use now of batter movement along the crease. By definition, if delivery would have passed the batter within this area it should not be called a wide. However, check the Local Playing Conditions for the match in this respect.
h) In the past but very rarely if at all, in the case of a striker leaving their crease before the bowler entered their delivery stride, the bowler had the right to throw at the stumps to attempt a run out. That is no longer the case and if this situation occurs, the umpire is to call and signal “dead ball”.
i) The law relating to the Non-striker backing up illegally (Mankad) has been moved from “unfair play” to “run out” to emphasise that the umpire is not there to make a moral judgement and if there is an appeal then it’s out. It was generally agreed umpires should not suggest or ask the fielding captain to reconsider but, of course, he or she can do so voluntarily. The clear onus is now on the non-striker not to leave the crease prior to the delivery of the ball. In such cases it is expected and hoped that the umpire at the striker’s end will be able to assist in this respect.

Today, we mourn the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family at this time.

Her Majesty The Queen served our nation for seventy years, earning the respect, admiration and love of all her people.

Our deepest condolences from everyone at Selsey Cricket Club to the Royal Family.
