70+ 2024 World Cup
CONGRATULATIONS !!! ENGLAND 70S WIN INAUGURAL WORLD CUP.
On behalf of the National Management Committee and all Senior cricketers up and down the land we offer massive congratulations to John Evans and his squad for winning the inaugural IMC 70s World Cup..
It was a privilege to witness a gripping and high quality final between the England and Australia sides at the Getty ground,Wormsley, in front of a large enthusiastic crowd.
The final was the culmination of a fortnight of round robin matches in which the two top sides showed that they were some way ahead of the rest of the competition. Details of all matches can be found on the Play Cricket site and a large number of impressive individual performances can be tracked.
Defeating Australia in the final more than made up for the fact that the Aussies had inflicted England’s only defeat in the round robin stage.
Huge credit goes to the England 70s Manager Chris Lowe for over seeing and masterminding the competition. Months of planning and preparation by Chris and his team bore fruit in producing a memorable competition bringing together teams and supporters from all around the world. From the stunning opening ceremony at Eton Rowing to the final at Wormsley lasting memories have been cemented.
Seniors cricket goes from strength to strength and Chris and John and the whole squad should be very proud of the part they have played in taking us all further on this great journey.

Important Reminders
(1) With teas increasingly being provided again as per the Playing Regulations (Para 11) if the Home team provide teas the Away team are obliged to pay £55 towards the cost of the teas. In the unlikely event of the away team preferring to bring their own tea the £55 must still be paid.
(2) A number of Counties have still not supplied the venues for their Home matches or added them to Play Cricket. Consequently there are a lot of blank Venues on the fixtures pages of our website and currently over 70 blank Grounds on Play Cricket. Furthermore in some cases the Away teams have not been informed where they are playing.
As a matter of urgency can those counties who have not informed the website administrator or their opposition of their Home Venues please do so and similarly can those Counties who have yet to add their Grounds to Play Cricket please do so as soon as possible.
It is strongly advised that the Competition Organiser is consulted about any potential difficulties with honoring a fixture at the earliest opportunity as of course should be the opponents.

Announcing Sporta Travel Arrangement
The Internationals Committee, led by the efforts of Paul Bradley, have been seeking sponsorship on behalf of the Championship and have succeeded in securing a 3 year travel and logistics partnership with Sporta Tours which the Management Committee have endorsed.
The Championship will benefit from payments by Sporta of £2,500 in Year one (payable on signing the agreement) and £3,500 in years 2 and 3. In addition should any County or its members arrange a tour with Sporta in this period the Championship will receive £50 per person on the trip. Also £100 per tour as a contribution to performance awards/mementos.
In return Sporta will have exclusive rights for all outbound Representative tours (note that visitors to UK are not bound by this). We will also facilitate marketing information from Sporta being received by Counties in membership so they may consider Sporta in arranging any tours they may be planning.
Full historic records for England Seniors can now be assessed via a new dedicated link on the Main Menu. There is a wealth of very interesting statistics in particular for England 60+ and England 70+. A big thank you to our official statistician Peter Hartland for his sterling efforts. Quick Link Here
GDPR - Privacy Statement
You will be aware from the AGM agenda item that following the work undertaken and a report compiled last year there has been a need for the Championship to ensure it is compliant with legislation in this area.
We have now added a Privacy Statement to the Menu options on the website. The Statement sets out the purposes for which we collect and process personal data in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 / UKGDPR. It reflects valuable further input from Mike Griffin, a consultant in this area, who contributed to Andrew’s earlier report and for whose advice we are very grateful.
We are aware that many Counties already have in place similar Privacy Statements but as this Statement is generic it can serve as a template (edited where appropriate) for Counties who have not as yet addressed this issue.
Grandfather Rights Clarification
Where a player who previously met the 60+/70+ player qualification criteria and has represented a County for a number of years but no longer meets the qualifying criteria the Management Committee may grant dispensation for a player to continue playing for that County.
The criteria the Management Committee have agreed to use is that the player must have represented their County for a minimum of 3 years and played at least 10 matches for the County.
In addition any player who has played 50+ for a County but does not meet any of the 60+/70+ player qualification criteria may be granted dispensation by the Management Committee to continue representing their 50+ County provided they have represented the County for a minimum of 3 years and played at least 10 matches for the County at 50+ level.
Duckworth Lewis (DL)
As agreed at the 2019 AGM from 2020 onwards the Standard Version of Duckworth Lewis will be used for all matches in the 60+ and 70+ Competitions.
Please click on the following link to download a guide to using the DL Calculator.

Tho official title of the App is Duckworth Lewis PCS D/L Calculator. The image in the App Store looks like this :
How to Use The DL Calculator within the Play Cricket Scorer App
The following link takes you to an official demonstration on YouTube on how to use the DL Calculator within the Play Cricket Scorer app
YouTube DL Calculator Demonstration
DL stands for Duckworth Lewis which is a method of calculating a new target score for a team batting second in a limited overs cricket match that has been shortened mainly due to weather but could be for any other reason. The DL method is available in two formats, DL Standard and DLS Professional. When using the Professional method, an ‘S’ appears in the method name to represent Professor Stern who is responsible for the software used to perform DLS Professional Calculations. The two methods are not interchangeable, as they produce different target scores in the same scenarios.
The Play Cricket Scorer app has a DL Standard Calculator embedded in it, which is the version being demonstrated in the YouTube video on RunsWktsOvers and the version we use. The DL Calculator is available as a standalone function and as an accessible feature while scoring.
The Play Cricket Scorer app is available to download free of charge on both iOS and Android devices (tablets and smart phones) from either the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
