Borchich Tries to Douse Rumours
By Graeme Goldsworth.
After taking his 7 wicket haul for the CW U/19 side in the Youth Test against New Zealand, sources have said that Borchich was a rather active "reveller" at "The Dauth", a downtown club in Pickford.
Lucky for all he's a genius on the d-floor, and everyone watched him lash some girl in a quiet corner. He then proceeded to bat and bowl excellently thereafter. While sportsmen around CW salute him, womens groups are outraged that such behaviour can actually end up helping his performance, and as such CW officials have tried to keep his antics under wraps, till now. More to come, later.

Burke: It's likely to get bitten off
Stephen Burke lashes out at Liam Camps
by Kwase Knight
Cricket Web Colts wicketkeeper Stephen Burke has accused CWBCC co-chairman Liam Camps of mishandling the game and fixing results. In a candid statement following his maiden first-class ton, Burke said, "I know I wouldn't have got it if he (Camps snr.) was overseeing the match."
It is not yet clear how Camps would have managed to prevent Burke from scoring 145 runs - a great deal more than his talent should allow.
Many believe that the statement is the result of the ongoing feud between Camps jr. and Burke, and that the serious nature of the allegation has not yet been fully realized. Burke continued, attacking other aspects of all that is Liam Camps. "Integrity and *** appeal? As far as I'm concerned no such things exist," he said, "He (Camps) needs to pull his head in or it's likely to get bitten off."
The accusation raise a serious question as to the management of Cricket Web cricket under Liam Camps for the past ten seasons. Whether or not there is an endorsement of the accusation or a follow-up on the matter is not readily apparent.
We have not been able to contact Camps for a full comment as yet.

It's no coincidence that Burke is known as the Robert Key of Cricket Web

The slightly less attractive Robert Key, I might add.

"You need to have a team attitude"
Christian McColm
We woke this morning to another outburst from Colts wicketkeeper Shan Jasotharan - barely a week after attracting the consternation of the national media following his reaction to the announcement of the Central Contracts - now he's turned his attention to CWBCC chief Liam Camps, for no other reason than a technical failure on the part of the board's reporting mechanisms.
It doesn't seem that we go more than a few days between one complaint and another - and, in a country that boasts, contrary to whatever Jasotharan might think, several talented young wicketkeepers, it's hardly fair that one self-centred individual should claim all of the limelight. The Inquirer caught up with young Green gloveman, Ben Vaughan, following his side's one-day victory over the Colts, for his views on the Jasotharan situation - amongst other things.
Vaughan's first season began with a stunning second-innings century on debut, as his powerful cover driving turned a difficult position into a five wicket win. Aside from his slight build, the young keeper's most noticeable feature is the wide smile as he greets me after the team warm-down. Born and brought up on the Brennan council estate in the centre of Gofftown he impresed for the Seahawks in junior cricket - the highlight of which was a double-century against Robbham Under 13. His emergence at senior level, has been a tribute to hard work, even if the results haven't been as good as he had hoped.
"I've enjoyed playing for Green; It's been a lot of fun. Despite the fact that we've not had the best season, I'm sure we can bounce back next year. It's never easy being a senior player, but we haven't been good enough, we haven't stepped up when we had to. Hopefully, next season we will have learned from this one. Personally, getting a century on a debut was something special, but I haven't reached those heights again. I want to be more consistent next year."
Vaughan found himself under the scope of the media glare last weekend, as he swore in front of a TV reporter following a heavy Green defeat. "It was a stupid thing to do. I'm 13, but that's no excuse for acting like that." He's not the first cricketer to lose his temper, however, and I can guarantee that he won't be the last. There's no resentment held towards the criticism he received, though, and he's shown maturity beyond his years in the way he's responded. "I had to say sorry. It was the right and mature thing to do. I really am sorry and I regret what I did. It made me look stupid, and I didn't deserve to be treated any other way. I hope that, soon, it will all be over."
At this moment, Ben interrupted our interview to sign an autograph for a young boy, no older than nine or ten, and with a blond hairstyle spiked to match the wicketkeeper he obviously looks up to. Turning back to me, he apologises for the delay, but I can tell from the grins on both the child's face and his own that it was a worthwhile break.
The batsman's relaxed demeanour tenses for the first time, when I ask him about Jasotharan's recent comments. It's clear from the determination his eyes that he has no desire to court any further controversy, before he looks away, uncomfortable. "I already got myself in trouble... I can't comment on that. Really, im sorry, but I don't think it's any of my concern."
It's obvious from his response to my next question, however, that attitude is important to him. "I don't know why someone's in a team if their attitude is poor. I don't want sound to rude, but cricket is a team game, and you need to have a team attitude. If you don't have that, you shouldn't find yourself in any team for very long."
Vaughan was dropped, by Jasotharan, on 89* during his debut century. The smile returns to his face as remembers the innings - but surprisingly, there were no words exchanged between the two players. "I like to keep my mouth shut. I'm usually a quiet person, both on and off the field."
As a boy, growing up in Edfield, Vaughan's cricketing hero was fellow keeper-batsman, Peter Young, and a poster of the Blue star unfurling a trademark square cut dominated the wall of his small bedroom. The youngster would also be prepared to follow in his idol's footprints, treading the path towards specialist batsmanship, should it be required. "I guess it would help if i want more consistent scores. I'd be happy to play as a batsman, or even up the order in one day games, whatever my captain wants."
Finally, I asked Ben what single thing he would choose to remembered for in cricket. He was quick to respond. "A team player", before adding, with a grin, "or a junior Adam Gilchrist!". What of the youngster's plans for the evening? Back to Gofftown CC, to coach at the Tigers' Under 11 practice. If only certain other wicketkeepers could learn from his example.
