Kweek
Cricketer Of The Year
Cricket in Holland isnt going very good at the moment...youth is growing steadly but not fast. KNCB(board) has money problems therefor the dutch team cant do a proper warm-up for the ICC throphey just the local competion. the dutch 1st team doesnt have a future in the NEAR future on the long term its growing but the U15 is the next crop of very talented players. U18 team has some prospect but nothing flashy like van Bunge.
the rest of the team is getting old Tim de Leede is nearing his mid thirties so if van Troost and more players. the youth competions are build up like Top competition(18 plays 50 overs, U15 40 U13 35 and so on) with the rules that a no-ball and wide is 2 runs and NO overbowl then you have Everybody bats and bowls U18=40 overs, U15 35 and U13 30 overs with the same weird rules BUT in the U15 league you have to bowl everyone so 10x30 + 5 overs spread over the bowlers of your choice. in U18 you can decide not to bowl everyone but they have to bat from 1-6. now my question is what can happen to help Cricket in holland ? what kind of setup what added and stuff. and how can we help cricket more popluar with the rest of the people. Cricket in Holland had some very bad publicity last 2 seasons first there was the Pakistani guy that went mad against the umpire(board) and hit the umpire with his bat on the head! you never hear something abotu cricket on the news or newspapers this happens and you get articles and news items then there was a Hoofdklasse team(highest class) a pakistani, afgan mix team, they got into a split up and started fighthing with knives before a match...again no new at all this happens and wham we got cricket in the papers..because of this a lot of people think cricket in holland is only Pakistani's (Serious guys at this board from pakistan but it is that way in holland i really mean no offence i got Pakistani's in my team and they are the best...biased about cricket and really nice duded so i dont have anything against them.) but its only 30% of the cricketers in holland the rest is pretty local.
EDIT: arg just noticed i posted it in OT could a mod please move it to cricket chat? cheers!
