ANZA Cricket
Join ANZA Cricket: Social and League Teams
One of the original sporting groups, ANZA Cricket has been an integral part of the hallowed game in Singapore for many years.
We currently have three league teams, as well social teams. The aim is to offer cricket for all levels of players. Whether you’re a gun player, or someone who hasn’t played in 10 years and wouldn’t mind rolling the rusty arm over once more (most of us are the latter!). It’s a great way to meet people, settle into Singapore life, enjoy some banter and relax!
Grab a bat or ball, don the whites and join in!
ANZA Cricket League, Social Games, and Training
ANZA Cricket fields teams in the lower Divisions of the Singapore Cricket Association ICC League (ANZA Diggers, ANZA Bushrangers and ANZA Champs). These games are played on weekends and may be either T25 or T30 format. A season constitutes 14 games spread out through the year and we try to black out dates such as school holidays etc. Teams are managed by our TeamStack app. With people travelling, there is always an opportunity to play and the team each game does vary.
For those interested in a social game, we have many social games. We play against other social teams (usually 30 overs per side), followed by a few drinks. These games may be on Weekends (2-3 a month) and some will be held on Friday afternoons from 1pm, so lock in those flexible work arrangements. Friday games are a great way to finish the week and best of all, leaves you all weekend with family and friends. Social rules are similar to league but one bowler is capped at 5 overs, Batsmen retire hitting 40 n.o and come back at the end, and wide rules are relaxed. This allows everyone to get-a-go. The standard of League and Social is not too far apart as many play both, but the attitude of the opposition and your captain is different, and not so serious with Social Cricket. Everything is more relaxed than in Aus or NZ.
Weekly NETs are held on Wednesday evenings from 7pm. These are informal and everyone is welcome, so bring your friends. There is no requirement to attend NETs. It is a chance to practice, get some exercise and catch-up with friends.
ANZA Cricketers also hold social functions throughout the season – all are welcome.
