15.01.2022 Points standings after Round 2. Its tight at the top in both pools.

14.01.2022 While on patrol, one of our trackers noticed Jack our male cheetah stalking a herd of waterbuck. A calf became separated from the herd and instinctively ran int...o the middle of a small dam. Jack circled the dam for a while not keen on getting his paws wet, devising a sneaker approach to luring his dinner out, he would walk away and hide under a bush still close enough to see the dam. The calf getting cold, would inch towards the edge thinking Jack had lost interest. Every time the calf got close to the edge Jack would run down and attempt to grasp the calf from the waters edge, the video below is one of his many attempts at catching his dinner. We watched until it was dark and were not able to see if he did eventually catch the calf, but still an incredible experience. Video: Jessica Shuttleworth

13.01.2022 The Over-50s Cricket World Cup 2020 - sponsor: Evergreen Lifestyle is approaching rapidly. Some of the overseas players have already departed for South Africa a...nd we are just over a week away from the opening ceremony. So, lets take a closer look at the sides competing. The 12 teams have been split into two pools of six. The two top teams from each pool will progress to the semi-finals. The remaining teams will then play off for positions 5 through 12. Today we preview Pool A, which contains Australia, New Zealand, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka and Canada. The favourites to progress from Pool A must be the defending champions, Australia. Australia has a long history of veterans cricket and depth in numbers that most other countries can only dream of. For example, each Australian state has several sides (New South Wales alone sent seven teams to the national over-50s championships and last weeks NSW regional champs had no fewer than three divisions of eight teams each), and there are regular over-50s leagues in the bigger cities. The stand-out among these players is the worlds premier over-50s batsman and team captain, Pete Solway. Solway has a batting average in over-50s internationals (O50Is) of 91.80 a figure that brings to mind another well-known Australian batsman and was a vital part of Australias success in Sydney. Was that a fluke? Well, he averaged over 100 at the national championships in November and is averaging 88 overall this season, so perhaps not. Other top batsmen in the Aussie line-up include Joe Santostefano, who averaged 45 in Sydney, and opener Gavin Brown, whose hard hitting regularly gave his side positive starts that allowed the likes of Solway to work their way in. Pace bowling is where Australia traditionally excels and its unlikely to be different this time. There are very high expectations of NSWs Phillip Melville, and his partnership with Tony Clark will put a lot of pressure on opposition batting line-ups. A lot has been said recently about South Africas opening duo of Alan Dawson and Henry Williams, but Clark and Melville would be quietly confident of being just as effective. Theyll be joined by returning World Cup-winners Bill Blair, Tim Sargent and Darren Smith, while spinner Steve Gollan is second on the all-time O50I wicket-taking list, with 15 at an average of 13.33. Clark is also an excellent batsman (average of 44 in O50Is) and will be expected to again perform well in the middle order. There are 7 newcomers to the Australian side and they have replaced some very good players, so it will be fascinating to see how they take the step up. The Aussie side is not full of household names over-50s cricket there is more for grade cricketers who have never stopped playing than for ex-bigshots but we can be sure that there will not be any weak links and if any side can become the first to beat Australia in a World Cup, they will have played very well. The second seeds in this group (based solely on where they finished in 2018) are New Zealand Over-50s Cricket. They lost a thrilling semi-final to Australia in Sydney and will have high hopes of being among the top two sides in Pool A. Their strength is clearly their batting, with three of their top-order players Mason Robinson, Adrian Dale and Richard Petrie ranked in the top 6 run-scorers in O50Is and in the top 6 over-50s players in the world. Dale is in great form already this season, with a century against a touring New South Wales side and 99 in a recent club match. These three are joined by a crop of newcomers including ex-Otago first-class player Andrew John Hore, John Garry (who scored 100 and 42* vs. NSW, plus two other centuries at club level this season) and the aggressive Dean Read, who has only played 5 games of over-50s cricket, but has scored four 50s and is averaging 70. The Greycaps spin bowling also looks good, led by 61-year-old Andrew Nuttall (equal second on the all-time O50I wicket-takers list), and there are a lot of bowling options in the side, with good variations. New Zealands first match, against West Indies, will be crucial for both those sides, as a loss for either team could make it quite difficult to get through to the next stage if everything else goes to form. West Indies Over 50 World Cup Teamwill also probably be looking to its batsmen to lead the side out of the group. Chief among these will be Sudesh Dhaniram, who has been in superb nick in the lead-up games and will definitely be the prize wicket for opposing sides. The West Indies have found run-scoring somewhat difficult in their warm-up games admittedly on some tough wickets with Dhaniram, Ishwar Maraj and Azad Mohammed being the most notable exceptions. Captain Zamin Amin can also be relied upon in the lower middle order. Bowling-wise, the Windies appear to be pinning a lot of their hopes on former Barbados fast bowler Allison Johnson, even though he lives in Cape Town and has not played any of the teams warm-up games. He is apparently still bowling at good pace, and his height, speed and knowledge of local conditions could be a powerful weapon for the Windies. The spin trio of Azad Mohammed, Zamin Amin and Fareed Hossain could also be hard to get away. In terms of big names, Zimbabwe +50 Cricket Association probably have the most recognisable squad in the tournament, apart from South Africa. The headliners are Eddo Brandes (he of chicken farming, World Cup hat-tricks and witty biscuit-related retorts), big-hitting all-rounder Craig Evans and Test opener Mark Burmester. However, it may well be some of the lesser-known players who play vital roles for Zimbabwe. Off-spinner Garry Spence has been in good form in Zimbabwes warm-up games, while Brian Goodwin hit a club century just the other day. With no track record in over-50s international cricket, Zimbabwe could bring a real X factor to the tournament. Their first match, against Australia on March 11, will be one to watch closely, as an upset there would certainly throw the cat and the chicken farmer among the pigeons. Canada (Cricket Canada Masters Council) are the holders of the Plate, having defeated South Africa in the Plate Final to finish fifth in Sydney. They did this after losing every one of their round-robin games, however, so will need to improve dramatically this time around if they are to nab a semi-finals spot. They will be looking to channel their strong effort against New Zealand in Sydney, where they were on target to chase down 220 but couldnt quite get there. Ten of their players are returning from 2018, led by former Sri Lankan Test player Rohan Jayasekera. Jayasekera had a lean World Cup last time in terms of runs but will be aiming to inspire a cohesive unit this time. His brother, Shantha, did perform well (145 runs at 48.33) and will be a mainstay of Canadas batting. Former Indian Ranji Trophy player Mukesh Narula will add some more solid first-class experience. There is unlikely to be any express pace (even by over-50s standards) in the Canadian bowling line-up, but the likes of Rudy Gibson, with his slingy left-armers, and Vince Correia could set things up for the spinners, which include Rajadurai, a former leggie for Sri Lanka A. Speaking of Sri Lankans, we now come to the Sri Lankan Lions (Sri Lanka O50s World Cup), who only narrowly missed out on a semi-final spot in Sydney. For logistical reasons that side was predominantly made up of Australian-based Sri Lankans, but still performed admirably. They are now boosted by the inclusion of some Sri Lankan-resident players and the development of a veterans league in that country. Among these is batting all-rounder Suranjith Dharmasena, who came close to full national selection in his younger years and now promises to be a vital cog in the teams batting order. He, along with ODI player Marlon Von Hagt, Shane Fernando, keeper Shafik Rahim, and former Australian Over-50s rep Noel Raymond, will form quite a solid batting line-up. Pace bowler Roshan Ismail was the sides leading wicket-taker in 2018 (12 at 14.67) and his combination with Harry Nagendran and Janaka Rambukwella (the only bowler to take a hat-trick in O50Is) will be important. Sri Lanka will miss the canny left-arm spin of Maxwell Labrooy (a late withdrawal) but should still be well covered in the spin department. Overall, it is quite difficult to predict which two teams will emerge as the top two from this pool. Australia are favourites for one of the spots, but all of the other five sides will feel they have a good shot of taking the other place. There is a good chance that this pool could come down to bonus points. The next post will look at Pool B the "Pool of Death" which contains hosts South Africa, England, Pakistan, India, Namibia and Wales.

06.01.2022 Here is the latest VCA newsletter. VCA Newsletter: March 2020 Hello to all Veterans Cricketers and Supporters. This is certainly not the end to the Cricket Sea...son that we were all expecting. The Coronavirus has turned the World on its head and the focus now is on containing the virus and keeping ourselves, our family and friends safe and well. We are in very difficult times and its vital that we all stay positive, take care of ourselves and our loved ones and follow the advice and instructions given by the Authorities. It was terribly disappointing for our 50s World Cup Squad to have the World Cup Tournament cancelled when they were off to such a strong start to defending their title. Despite the disappointment, the squad has returned very positively and looking forward to the next opportunity to represent their Country. After a successful Tour to New Zealand, the 70s have had the disappointment of their June UK Tour postponed. We are monitoring the situation before making a call on a proposed return Tour by the UK 70s in November this year. The situation is the same with the proposed 60s World Cup on the Sunshine Coast in October/November. The organisers are closely monitoring the situation and will be reliant on advice from CA and the Australian Government. Our Domestic National Championships - the Womens Nationals scheduled for Bowral in late November, the 50s in Adelaide in November, the 60s on the Sunshine Coast in September and the 70s in Launceston in November - are all in a similar situation. All of these are still scheduled, but whether they can proceed will be dependent upon future developments. We will keep you informed on this. Where possible and practical, the VCA Board has undertaken to fine tune our Policies and Practices and we will continue to work behind the scenes to encourage and cater for the growth of Veterans Cricket. The same can be done at State, Regional and Club level, so that we hit the ground running when Matches restart. There may be opportunities to get Grants or Funding for improvement of our facilities, as Im guessing there will be lots of works projects promoted to assist employment during the tough times and assist with our recovery when we come out the other end. In saying this, the main priority is on your individual and your familys wellbeing during these difficult times. On behalf of Veterans Cricket Australia, I wish you all the very best.

01.01.2022 The news we've all been waiting for: massages are officially good for your health

01.01.2022 Today is World Sight Day and at Guide Dogs, we see firsthand the challenges that come from low vision or blindness. That's why we encourage you to keep up with ...your regular eye tests and seek advice if you notice a change in your vision. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it's estimated that 2.2 billion people worldwide have a vision condition and of those, at least 1 billion have a condition that could've been prevented or is yet to be addressed. Here's an example of what the world might look like if you had one of these vision conditions: Age-related Macular Degeneration, Cataract, Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa and Neurological Vision Impairment. If you experience low vision or blindness, how would you describe your vision? [Image description: A 3x2 image grid of a yellow Labrador in harness looking front on to the camera. Each image shows how the dog would appear if a person's vision is affected by each vision condition.]
