DOUBLE (T)HUNDRED – Leather Hunt redefined in BWCV!!!
15. Juni 2013
Sunday – June 9th 2013 at SSC Karlsruhe was a special day for BWCV. A day which started with thunderstorms and heavy rains with seemingly no scope for a cricket match witnessed one of the greatest innings in the history of BWCV! An authentic display of clean and powerful hitting of the cricket ball accompanied by proper negotiation of the good balls from the opening batsman of CCCM-L – Inam Ullah blew away CLK – the defending BWCV champions and German championship runners by a very comfortable margin. I feel really lucky that I got the chance to be the main umpire for this game – as I stood in perhaps the perfect spot to view this spectacle live – such an amazing innings which would remain in memory for years to come.

Land Ahoy! 2013 ERDINGER Alkoholfrei Atlantik Cup on Heligoland
14. Juni 2013
Heligoland, 9 June 2013. Cricket on Heligoland? Unimaginable? Between cliffs and craters?
It is unknown whether the islanders have played or even witnessed a cricket match on their small rock in the North Sea, although some of them claim British ancestors since Queen Victoria’s rule. Heligoland Pilgrims CC, Germany’s youngest and allegedly most exclusive cricket club, proved their right to exist earlier this Sunday. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »
Historical double-century in Baden-Würtemberg
14. Juni 2013
Last week saw the first double century in the short history of Germany’s youngest cricketing region, Baden-Würtemberg.
Inan Ullah from the Cosmopolitan Mannheim Cricket club scored his double century chasing a score of 250 to win the game against last season’s DCB finalists SSC Karlsruhe.
He racked up his first century in just 18 overs and reached his double-century in just the 27th over, a fantastic achievement when you consider that the opponents were a strong team, the outfield was wet and that his batting partner only scored 27 not out in this time.
Well done Inan!

DCB send five youngsters to ICC Europe Centre of Excellence
11. Juni 2013
In previous years ICC Europe has held its Centre of Excellence for talented young cricketers in La Manga, Spain and the DCB was allowed to send two players per year. In a change of tact, this year the centre has been moved to Husum on the German / Danish border and the DCB can send five of its most talented youngsters for five days intensive coaching with elite coaches from the ICC.
This is a welcome development as not only are costs saved, but we can provide this fantastic opportunity to five players who have shown in recent DCB tournaments that they have the talent to progress within the game.
The five players selected by DCB Youth Officer Sajid Sikandar, who will also be in attendance, are:
Janpreet Singh (Berlin)
Dushant Kumar (Hamburg)
Arif Jamal (Essen)
Denis Ritigahapola (Munich)
Ryan Rautenbach (Hamburg)
We wish them all a fantastic week in Husum and hope they return with lots of impetus for a successful career within German cricket.

Erdinger Alkoholfrei presents “Cricket auf Helgoland”
4. Juni 2013
This weekend will see the competitive debut of the DCB’s latest member and what is probably Europe’s most remote cricket club – the Heligoland Pilgrims Cricket Club e.V.
The club, based on the remote island in the north sea, will be hosting a game against Hamburg based club THCC Rot-Gelb on Sunday 9th July.
Refreshments will be provided by the club’s generous sponsor, ERDINGER ALKOHOLFREI.
The Pilgrims’ claim to being Europe’s most remote cricket club remains unchallenged. If there are any other clubs out there that put claim on this title, we would like to meet them for a friendly game.
