Australian cricket legend Belinda Clark is travelling up from Cricket Australia’s head office in Melbourne to represent CA at the opening of the Over-50s Cricket World Cup in Sydney next month.
In addition to being CA’s Executive General Manager, Community Cricket, Belinda is a genuine legend of international cricket who played 134 internationals for Australia, scoring nearly 5000 runs at an average of 47. She won two World Cups and has captained the Australian women’s team more times than any other player.
She is an officer of the Order of Australia, a member of the Sport Australia Hall of Fame and a member of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.
We are delighted that Belinda will be joining us at the opening ceremony on November 20.
The inaugural Over-50s Cricket World Cup was held in Sydney, Australia, from 20 November to 5 December, 2018.
Hosts Australia joined with 7 other national teams to do battle for the trophy.
IC Sports Therapies both sponsored and provided therapists for the New Zealand team, and have subsequently been invited to South Africa for the Over-50s Cricket World Cup 2020.
Each team will play each other once in a round-robin series. Following the completion of this stage, the top 4 teams will play semi-finals culminating in a Grand Final on Wednesday 5 December 2018 for the 050s Cricket World Cup. The teams 5th–8th which do not reach these semis will play off in their own semi-finals resulting in a Grand Final on Tuesday 4 December 2018 for the 050s Cricket World Plate.
Matches will be 12-a-side but only 11 can bat and only 11 can field at any one time i.e., one player will be a designated non-batter. Matches will be 45 overs a side with unlimited batting but a limit of 9 overs per bowler.
Games will start at 10:15 a.m. and should finish around 4:30 p.m. Each innings will have drinks break (two or more in case of hot weather) and the break between innings will be 45 minutes.
