The various educationalcourses conducted through the year for coaches, umpires and scorers is testimony to our seriousness indevelopment of the game in Singapore.The world of international cricket is growing fast and furious; the decision of the BCCI to allow IPL teamsto play against associate nations is welcome news to countries like Singapore. We are in discussions withseveral franchises to host a few IPL teams next year. Administratively, we enjoy the presence of a Singaporerepresentative on the ICC and ACC board, I am fortunate to be re-elected to the boards of the ICC and theACC, this was achieved only because we in Singapore collectively strive, by our deeds, on and off the fi eld, tolive and play cricket with a straight bat.The successes achieved through the year, is attributed to the hard work put in by the management, staffand the volunteers who are the lifeline for any sporting organisation. Special mention must be made to themembers of the Executive Committee and the Sub-Committees who have worked tirelessly above the call ofduty.Singapore Cricket is in a strong position and much more can be achieved.

UMPIRING & SCORINGCricket in Singapore is growing year after year. The number of teams playing in the Club and CorporateLeagues is at an all-time high; it stands at 105 teams as compared to 101 teams that played in the league in2011. However, the growth of cricket is measured not just in numbers, but also by the quality of the game asplayed by the players and as managed by the offi cials on the fi eld. For the smooth operation of the games,it goes without saying; we need to have quality offi cials. The Umpiring and the Scoring Sub-committeesensured that SCA suffi cient programs and courses to supply the demand for offi cials needed to run thedomestic cricket in Singapore.(a) UmpiringFrom that perspective, the SCA Umpiring Panel could boast not only of an increased supply of umpiresbut also of the quality of umpires who handle the games both in Singapore and representing Singapore ininternational tournaments.In terms of numbers for 2012, there are 739 SCA League games to be played in 2012 (as against 693 in2011). Thereof, 543 games have been completed till end-August with neutral umpires for all games beingprovided from within the SCA Umpiring Panel. With about 200 games to be played till the end of the seasonthe Panel is confi dent of maintaining its 100% assignment rate for this year. All this is made possible throughvolunteers, who devote their time and effort in particular, our appreciation to Madhavan C for managing thismammoth task ably.34SINGAPORE CRICKET ASSOCIATION: Annual Report 2011-2012101443 SCA ANNUAL REPORT 2011_TEXT.indd 34 10/18/12 1:46 PM

Feedback is one important aspect of any growth and development. With that in mind, the Panel institutedthe Captain’s Report system for the Division 1 and Division 2 league games. Per the system, each of thecaptains of the Division 1 and 2 games are required to fi le in their reports on the performance of the umpireswho offi ciated their games the previous weekend. The reports are collated and are used for valuable feedbackto the umpires.

(b) Umpiring CoursesSCA recognises that quality is a continuous process. To that effect, SCA conducted the fi rst ACC Level 1Course for our umpires in Singapore in February 2012. This is the stepping stone for our emerging umpiresto get into the ACC arena. It has to be noted that the participants for ACC Level 2 Umpiring course - highestlevel within ACC are selected only from the pool of umpires who have successfully completed the Level 1course. The ACC Level 1 course was ably conducted by the veteran International Umpire Mr. K.T. Francisfrom Sri Lanka. The course boasted of 26 participants, of which 21 successfully obtained the ACC Level 1Certifi cation.In view of the tremendous increase of the need for good quality umpires, yet another Level 0 Umpiring coursewas conducted this year in May 2012. The course was conducted by Sarika Sivaprasad and Sri Ganesh andit added 27 new umpires to the Panel, most of whom have taken to active umpiring right away in this season.With this induction, we are proud that we achieved the landmark of crossing a century of umpires in the Panelas we currently have 104 umpires in the Panel.(c) Scoring CoursesIn line with the ambitious goal of having over 100 registered scorers by the end of the year, SCA has beenorganising training courses for Scorers. A basic scorer’s course was held by SCA on the 14th and 15th Julyat the Singapore Indian Association to introduce the basics of scoring to the participants.The response for the course was overwhelming with a strong attendance of 31 participants, which included5 women. It is really heartening to see that more women are now coming forward to be a part of thecricketing community. Mr Raghuram, an experienced scorer and member of the SCA Scorer’s sub-committeeconducted the Basic scorer’s course. Various topics related to scoring including mechanics of scoring, dutiesof the scorer, laws relating to scoring, understandingUmpire’s signals, exercises on symbols used andscoring for a game.The participants were given the opportunity toview the video of an SCA league match which wasplayed recently and practice scoring for that game.This helped simulate a real life out door situation andthe participants, especially those with no scoringexperience, enjoyed this exercise. A Scorer’shandbook which has the Code of conduct forscorers and Pointers for scorers was also releasedto the participants during the course.Feedback from the participants has been veryencouraging. One of them, who has never donescoring but only been playing cricket, mentionedthat his respect for the scorers has gone up afterattending the course.Participants of the SCA Level 1 Umpiring coursewith veteran umpire K T Francis from SrilankaParticipants of the SCA Basic Scoring course withSCA Vice President M Neethiananthan andcourse conductor RaghuramSINGAPORE CRICKET ASSOCIATION: Annual Report 2011-2012 37101443 SCA ANNUAL REPORT 2011_TEXT.indd 37 10/18/12 1:47 PM
