Christophers Clayden's Cricket Club · 9 December 2012

‘Better Care, Healthier Lives’. We are the charity that exists to support St George’s hospitals and the communities they serve. Every day, our work makes a real difference to patients, their families and friends and the staff who care for them.

Story

Please sponsor me and the rest of the team, when we play 2hrs of continuous "diamond cricket" at Amesbury School on 9th December. We are raising money for the Neuro Intensive Care Unit at St Georges Hospital in memory of my friend Christopher's daddy. Christopher, his brother Richard and his Mummy, want to raise enough funds for an "infra red spectroscopy machine", which will help doctors manage a complication known as vasospasm. Vasospasm can cause further brain damage following a spontainous bleed into the brain and sadly as with Christopher's daddy, is often fatal. It is hoped that this piece of equiptment will allow a better outcome for patients who suffer bleeds into the brain. So please give generously, so that we can help the Neuro ITU unit improve the outcome for other patients who are unfortunate enough to also suffer an unexpected brain haemorrhage. 

We will be playing 2hrs of continuous Diamond Cricket! This is a great game that combines all the skills of cricket and requires tactical thinking.
The first four batters go to a set of stumps each – always ready to hit the ball. The bowler bowls the ball at any set of stumps - batters can run if they hit or miss the ball. All four batters run at the same time – in an anti-clockwise direction – with no overtaking. One run is scored for each rotation (i.e. the whole way round is 4 runs). As soon as the bowler receives the ball back s/he can bowl it again so the batters always need to be ready.
When a batter is out, the next batter comes in to replace them. The innings can either be played until all the batters are ‘out’, or can be time-based (i.e. 10 minutes per innings), which means that batters may have a chance to bat again. Batting and fielding teams swap when the innings is concluded.
