2009-07-02 ICC honours Cliff Cox & Jack Kyle

A recent press release from Canada Cricket states that amongst the six Canadians on the "honour list" of the International Cricket Council at the recently conducted Centenary Week in London, England, two of them are our very own, Cliff Cox and Jack Kyle, both of whom were awarded ICC Centenary Medals.
Quoting from the release:
"Clarke and Cox have both served the Cricket Canada for over 30 years in various capacities and have been instrumental in building the game at both the regional and national levels. They are both current members of the Cricket Canada executive and instrumental in the workings of the organization.
Edwards and Kyle are both past presidents of Cricket Canada. Edwards presided over Canada's 2001 World Cup qualification run and saw the team into the 2003 Cricket World Cup where Canada achieved its first and only win against a full member country. Kyle has been a stalwart of British Columbia Cricket for a half century and his work with junior cricket has been an unparalleled success."
The Metro Vancouver Cricket League conveys sincere thanks and appreciation to Cliff and Jack for the tremendous amount of service they have given to cricket and the honour they have brought to BC. Their contribution to the game over the years will not be forgotten and something which will not be easily surpassed. [More]

2009-06-19 Brothers provide interesting coincidence

The Kohli brothers, Money and Gagan, Vancouver Juniors CC, have had similar successes so far this season. Both have a top score of 63, Money against West Coast Tamils and Gagan against Arbutus. Both brothers have also taken a hat trick each, Gagan against Bengal Tigers and Money against Master Blasters. One can only imagine what would happen if both brothers played their best on the same day. They would make a welcome addition to most first division teams when called upon to do so.

2009-06-18 Ivneet Bains - Master Blasters CC

Ivneet Bains, a junior player, came with his parents to Canada from Chandigargh in 2007 and immediately began playing cricket with Master Blasters CC. Under the watchful eye of his captain/manager, Anil Khanna, his cricketing skills have improved tremendously in a very short time. During this season he has been 'borrowed' by such clubs as Shaughnessy, Cloverdale and Fraser Valley and has consistently contributed in no small measure to their success. His scores include 130, 116 n.o. 84 and 55.
His talents are not limited to the cricket field alone. Amongst other achievements, he was recently honoured by the Indo-Canadian Business Association as the 'overall winner' from a group of 19 students; he has been awarded one of two TEAL scholarships for ESL students in BC who have excelled in academics and extra-curricular activities from the David C. Lam Foundation, and has also received a 2009 Millenium Excellence Award, Surrey Youth Recognition Award and the President'?s entrance scholarship from UBC where he will be furthering his studies this year.
Well done Ivneet. Best wishes for continued success.
