John
Arlott opened Cheriton Pavilion in 1961 (Whoops it was 1963). The photograph opposite
shows him signing a book on the pavilion steps. The wooden
pavilion is almost as it was built fifty years ago. Last year it
was rewired, the lighting replaced and the kitchen
refurbished.
This year In 2013 we will celebrate this. This year it is sixty years since the
club was restarted after the second world war by hosting the John
Arlott Cup. The cup was first presented in 2009 when a plaque
was added to The Old Sun (see below) commemorating John Arlott
living there for the twenty years from 1962 to 1981. For more
about the event in 2009 please visit the Cricket Society
- John Arlott Plaque
Unveiled.
A cricket
game between two sides composed of Cheriton, Old
Alresford, Ropley and Tichborne
Park Cricket Club's players took part
in the first John Arlott Cup. The cup was then available for
future competitions amongst the cricket clubs local to
Alresford. This year Cheriton hosts a triangular tournament
between Cheriton, Ropley and Tichborne Park on Sunday 28th
August. The programme and rules are shown below. It will be
part of the Beer, Balloons and Music festival hosted
by The Flower
Pots.
On
Saturday Cheriton will be playing Winchester College Staff in a
friendly game. On Monday the Cheriton Sixes, a competition
behind eight sides, will start at 09:00 and finish at
19:30.

RULES:
The John
Arlott Cup 2011 will be played as a 3 team
competition. Each team will bat and bowl against both other
teams, and all 3 teams will effectively be playing each other at
the same time!
-
Each
innings consists of 15 overs and will be played to the full
overs. Wides and no-balls will be counted as 2 extras and the
ball not re-bowled.
-
Each
team will therefore bowl 30 overs in total, with a maximum of 5
overs per bowler, to be spread across the two innings, at the
discretion of the fielding captain.
-
Batsmen will retire at 25, with the second
innings of each team following on in the batting order from the end
of their first innings. Each team continues to bat on for the
full 30 overs, but only runs scored up to the fall of their
20th wicket count.
-
The
Cup will be decided on net run rate. This will be calculated
as follows: total runs scored divided by wickets lost (minimum 8
wickets assumed) less total runs against divided by wickets
taken. Each of these calculations will be made on the basis
of the totals added together from the four innings played by that
team.
