Mark Norris

Beijing Cricket Committee Chairman

It is my privilege to welcome you all  to the 2010 Beijing Cricket Sixes.This is the third year the Beijing Cricket Club has run this event and it should be a cracker with a very high caliber of players travelling from Australia, Malaysia,  Hong Kong and Shanghai to play in this year’s event. The Beijing Cricket Sixes of course would not have happened without the great support from our valued sponsors and a hard working committee lead by our Tournament Director Simon Pendergast. Simon and his team have really worked tirelessly to get Beijing sixes moving this year and we would like to thank them  for their tireless work and patience to get this event off the ground, also a special thanks to Dulwich for providing the magnificent grounds that we can enjoy over the next three days.

There are icy cold beers, great food, a flushing dunny and great cricket to watch for 3 days.... what more could you want!

In closing, enjoy Beijing, enjoy the cricket and more importantly enjoy yourselves!

Simon Pendergast
