Congratulations to Sir William Atkin-
son, one of Britain's most distin-
guished educationalists and a long-time
supporter of the London Schools and
the Black Child initiative. He is head
of the Phoenix High School in Shep-
herd‘s Bush London which has come
top of Government league table for the
school with the most value added. And
this is a school which was once known
(before Sir William took it over) as one
of the worst in the country. Offsted now describes it as ―remarkable‖. Sir
William, who has over 30 years of teaching experience and was knighted in
2008, says :"To work with these youngsters, you have to be not only compe-
tent and with a good knowledge base but be prepared to go that extra mile –
and that's not just now and then but routinely, every day." A message for us
all.

Each team has a maximum of ten players, with only
eight (including bowler and wicketkeeper) on the
field at a time. After each over the field rotates so
that each player goes to a new position and the
rested fielders come on and so on..

Once you understand the basics of how to play

cricket, its easy to build up your knowledge. The
same principles and terms apply to every form of
the game, so once you‘ve developed a good foun-
dation, the sky‘s the limit. This is true for young
or old, male or female. And, if there‘s a young
cricketer in your family, you‘ll have a great time
supporting them too. Here‘s a good start to your
journey. The picture shows the heart of the action
on a cricket field. The two sets of wickets are 22
yards apart, with the cut area of the pitch between
them.

Health and Safety
Health and Safety
Safety management is a priority at the MCG and
the MCC is proud to be a leader in health and
safety in the events industry.
The MCC has certification in the Victorian Work
Cover Authority‘s Safetyman system at Ad-
vanced Level for both the MCG and several other
MCC-managed grounds.
The MCG was the first venue in Australia to have
its safety system accredited by a regulatory au-
thority.
It is our aim to create a safe venue for all employ-
ees, contractors and visitors. We achieve this by
continually reviewing and improving our safety
systems, identifying and controlling hazards, and
by constantly talking about safety with all our
staff and contractors.
This means our people, both full-time and part-
time, have a genuine concern for the safety of the
people they are entrusted to look after both on
event and non-event days.

These directives apply to girls and boys, and any
reference to he/his should be interpreted to in-
clude she/her.
For the purpose of these Directives a fast bowler
should be defined as a bowler to whom a wicket
keeper in the same age group would in normal
circumstances stand back to take the ball.
All coaches are urged to identify those players
with the potential to bowl fast and to ensure they
follow the Directives in all cricket
throughout the season.
